"Phil was professional and a good advisor for my home projects. He fixed broken doors, completed a full paint job, and also recommended tile work in the kitchen that up-leveled the appearance and value of our home. I would hire Phil again for my next project."

"We ordered our fence in April 2021 knowing the fence could not be installed until after July 2nd, our pool installation date. Pool was installed on July 2nd and Tom was in communication with me consistently to update me on the date of fence install. The fence was installed on 7/27 and it looks great. The work was done really well and the crew left no mess behind. The weather and shipping delays pushed the install back a week or two but once the weather cleared and materials were delivered, the fence was installed in one day. I would recommend Best CO fence as the work was done to perfection and Tom communicates well with customers. My only warning to consumers would be the fence install depends on the materials being delivered by the manufacturer and the weather. With no control over either of those two issues, Tom was very clear and honest about when the work would take place. So if you order a fence in August and want it installed August, keep in mind they cannot control when the materials get delivered. But again, Tom was great and I am extremely happy with the finished product. I will definitely use Best CO fence in the future for all my fencing needs."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

If the fence is on one neighbor’s property, that person is responsible for repairs, regardless of who benefits from the fence more. The other neighbor must keep trees and other obstacles from crossing the property line and affecting the fence. If the fence is directly on the property line, though, who owns a shared fence? Many states have laws that address this issue. Typically, the two property owners would share responsibilities and costs for fence maintenance and repair. You may need a property line survey to precisely determine ownership and responsibility.

The average lifespan of a wood fence is 15 to 20 years, but some can last for 40 years or more depending on several factors. The type of wood is crucial; for example, untreated pine may only last 5 to 10 years, while pressure-treated pine can last up to 20 years, and cedar's natural resistance can extend its life to 40 years. Other factors include local weather conditions, with wet and windy climates causing faster deterioration, and the quality of maintenance. Higher-end wood, metal posts, and privacy fence styles also tend to last longer.

A fence installer or homeowner should place a snow fence upwind of the desired drift area, while keeping the prevailing wind direction in mind. When installing a snow fence, its posts should be sturdy, as they will be the weakest areas in terms of tensile strength. Posts should be buried at one-third their height and placed no more than eight feet apart.

In addition to the fence itself, several factors can impact the overall price of putting a fence in. Consider these add-ons and necessary expenses when building your project budget. For example, additional cost factors may include:

  • Removing your existing fence

  • Land leveling and other site work

  • Tree and stump removal

  • New landscaping

  • Working around underground utilities

  • Painting and staining

While there’s no hard evidence to support this idea, driveway gates at least provide an additional obstacle that may deter crime. After all, a would-be burglar or trespasser would have to break into the gate and the property itself. The extra work could encourage them to move onto a house without a driveway gate.
