"First I have to start with Mike. He is a great salesmen. He full knows his product and also he knows what competitors are offering. This goes from price and the quality of the product they are trying to sell. What he said to me made sense after I had already done research about the different types of fences. We had at least four price quotes prior to Mike coming out to the house. A well informed consumer is the best when dealing with contractors, doing any type of work on your home. After meeting with him we made the decision very quickly to go with his company. They have great follow up to let you know when you are going to be scheduled. They are on time and very clean after they are done. The price was in the ball park of others, and the Angies list coupon was a plus which they honored. I've already referred my neighbor and I will be going back to get front railing. Thanks for everything"

"I have used Precision Fence in the past, probably before you could write a review on Goolge. Mike, Tom, and the rest of the crew have always been top notch to work with. Fair pricing, Great product and attention to detail are just a few of the highlights. This time around the new fence we were having installed was on an area of my property that never had a fence before. To avoid problems with my Neighbor I hired a licensed surveyor to identify the property line. Well that went over like a lead balloon and my neighbor had fit. While the PF crew was onsite preparing to install the fence, my neighbor called the cops and claimed Adverse Possession. The PF crew notified Mike who immediately came to the job site to assist. He did not have to do that; he was very professional throughout the entire situation even trying to reason with my neighbor. Unfortunately, it was not resolved so I see civil court in my near future. If you are looking for a great fence contractor look no further Precision Fence gets an A++ with 110% satisfaction from me."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Privacy fences in residential neighborhoods tend to stand between 6 and 8 feet tall, but local building code usually dictates the maximum height. Livestock fences that border large land plots range from 3 to 6 feet. Shorter, decorative fences, which are common in front yards, are around 3 feet tall, on average. Fence height also tends to vary by material, with wood fences usually sitting at 6 feet tall, and chain-link and wrought iron fences tending to sit at half that.

Since wood is weaker when installed horizontally versus vertically, a horizontal fence is prone to sagging. You can prevent this drooping from happening by building a sturdier fence. Use softwoods that are more stable, such as cedar and redwood, or denser hardwoods for your fence materials. If you can’t afford these pricey materials, use thicker two-by-six pressure-treated pine boards or shorten the span the fence boards have to cover by installing more posts.

How long a wood fence lasts depends on the type of wood and its style. The design of a shadow box fence makes it more durable than other fence types because the alternating pickets disperse the weight across the rails. As a result, you won’t have to worry as much about sagging or failing pickets. However, remember that the hollow design of a shadow box fence makes it more difficult to apply the sealer, which is crucial to extending its life.

Posts for a horizontal fence should be no more than 6 feet apart. Wood pickets are not as strong when mounted horizontally as when mounted vertically. As such, the fence panels on a horizontal fence can’t cover the same span between posts as a vertical fence can. If you install the posts further apart on a horizontal fence, the fence will lose stability, making the boards more likely to sag. 

The decision to add a dog fence to your property depends on several factors. A fence can be a good investment for pet safety, particularly in areas with hazards like busy roads. It helps contain dogs prone to roaming or those with a powerful hunting instinct, It also prevents accidents and neighborly disputes if your pet likes to venture onto their property. Also, by installing a traditional fence, you will also gain privacy. Some local regulations may also require homeowners with dogs to install a fence.
