"We were contacted by Ergeon from an inquiry through the Angi app. Irving responded almost immediately and was very accommodating when scheduling the estimate. We were able to conduct the entire estimate and discussion remotely, which was a huge plus. Irving was very knowledgeable and put together an excellent, itemized plan that I could take directly to my HOA for approval. During follow up calls, Irving listened to our concerns and offered practical, affordable alternatives. He touched base often without being pushy. We ultimately did not complete the project due to unrelated circumstances, but Ergeon would be our only choice for a full fence install in the future."

"Two gentlemen from Samson Const. Installed a chain link fence around my yard and also put in a new back door. The guys were hard working, polite and very respectful. The cost was very reasonable and the work was done well and quickly. My dog loves the freedom of the fenced in yard and I love the practicality of having the yard fenced in. Thank you Samson Const. on a job well done. â ¤ï¸"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

A fence post set in concrete lasts anywhere from five to over 25 years, depending on how well the concrete was applied and the fence post’s material. Untreated wood posts in concrete could last less than 10 years, but a durable, treated wood set in properly applied concrete could last a few decades. However, all fence posts will wear out eventually, so expect to need to replace your fence post every five to 15 years.

Wattle fences are typically around 4 feet tall, but they can be built taller or shorter depending on their intended use. Taller fences may require additional reinforcements, such as thicker posts or tighter weaving, to ensure the fence’s stability and durability against wind and other elements.

On most untreated wood fences, there is no need to sand before treating. You typically only need to sand if there’s an old coat of paint or stain on your fence. If you do need to sand off a previous paint or protective coating (like an old stain or sealant), use medium-grit sandpaper.

The ideal distance between fence posts depends on several factors, including the terrain, the purpose of the fence, and the material used. For different types of fences, here are some general guidelines:

  • Wood and Metal Fences: Posts should be spaced between 5 and 8 feet apart.

  • Vinyl Fences: Spacing can be between 6 and 8 feet.

  • Chain-Link, Mesh, or Lattice Fences: Posts can be set anywhere from 4 to 25 feet apart, with 4-10 feet being common for chain-link.

  • Wire Fences: Spacing can be up to 12 feet apart.

Yes, installing a picket fence is a manageable DIY project for homeowners with basic tools and some patience. The process involves marking the fence line, digging post holes, setting the posts, and attaching horizontal rails and pickets. However, precision is key to ensure the fence is straight and sturdy, which can be challenging for beginners. If the fence line is long, the ground is uneven, or you’re working with more complex materials like metal or composite, hiring a pro may be a better option.
