"I hired Paul and his guys to install a vinyl fence in my backyard. He did a very good job. The fence was installed quickly and feels sturdy. Due to the pandemic it did take a bit for the supplies to be obtained however the lines of communication were open and as soon as they came in, my product was installed. He does not use the cheap, box store products. The fences he ordered were of strong and the quality was definitely there. About 2 weeks after the fence was installed, I felt the door was a bit lose. I was told this is likely from settling and he quickly came and fixed it. It?s now been about 9 months since he installed and I am happy with the service. Thanks for a great product and service."

"I cannot recommend Mark and Upstate Fence enough. Not only was he cheaper than the other guys...the fence looks great. Mark also dealt with all the permitting, zoning board and other BS that comes with living in Niskayuna. Mark was great about communication and did everything he said he would, at the price we agreed to. No games, no gimmicks. Very happy and would use again. A++!"

"Pete was the most responsive contractor We’ve ever worked with. He was very straightforward and gave us a the most prompt and fair estimate we could ask for. The deck came out even better than we expected. He went out of his way to make sure we knew he valued our business and we will hire him again for any projects we need done. My husband and I highly recommend GPG Construction!"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Whether you need a permit to build or install a fence depends on several factors, including your location, the fence's height, its placement in your yard, and the materials used. In many cities and highly populated areas, a permit is required, especially for fences taller than 6 feet. Conversely, rural areas may have fewer restrictions. Typically, backyard privacy fences 6 feet or shorter do not require a permit, while front yard fences often have a lower height limit, sometimes as low as 3.5 feet. There can also be exceptions for properties in mixed residential-commercial zones. It's best to check with your local building inspection or zoning department to understand the specific requirements, height restrictions, and location rules for your area. A professional fence installer can help you navigate this process and often secure the necessary permits for you, though this may extend the project timeline.

The ideal spacing for four-by-four residential fence posts is usually about 6 to 8 feet between posts. However, if the fence is particularly high or you live in a very windy region, you might want to space them closer together for better stability. A fence pro can help you decide on your post spacing. 

When it comes to materials, wire fences are the cheapest option. The average cost for a 150-foot wire fence is $1,350. The next cheapest material is chain-link, followed by wood.

As far as the style of fence, smaller, less private fences are cheaper than large, elaborate fences that block your whole yard. That’s why split-rail fences are the cheapest option for wooden fences. They cost roughly $10 to $30 per linear foot.

In most states, it is a legal requirement to have a fence around your pool to protect both swimmers and pool owners. These laws can vary by state, city, and county, so you must research the specific regulations in your area before installation. The rules may also differ for inground versus above-ground pools, with inground pools typically requiring a full fence. Additionally, most homeowners' insurance providers will require a fence around a residential pool before providing coverage. As a general rule, it's always best to have a fence for everyone's safety.

Removing fence posts that are set in concrete is something you can't do by hand. You will need an excavator, a strong post-puller, or a jackhammer. If you plan on recycling the concrete base, you may be able to cut the post out with a jackhammer and then set the new post in the existing base. However, it's usually better to remove both the fence post and concrete together. Due to the weight of concrete, you will need a hydraulic removal tool.
