"Milex Constuction came to my home the same day I called for an estimate. Mr. Alex was very thorough in explaing how the work would be done. I feel they listened to my concerns & paid special attention when working in those areas. They are very knowledgeable, not only about product and process, but also handling insurance claims. The job started out a little rough because of the weather. It turned out to be the hotest 2 days of the summer! Still everything was completed in 3 days and the clean up was treated just as important as the roofing job itself. The workers are a dedicated bunch who worked till dark when needed. All the guys are very polite and extremely dedicated to their work. Mr Alex's referal to the exterior painters was also a spot on choice. Now that the outside is done, Time for some inside drywalling!

"Chris and his son Curtis are true craftsmen who take the highest pride in their work but still price it fairly.  The smooth ceiling in my kitchen is a work of art!  They are careful, considerate, punctual, neat, and above all want the customer to have the outcome they desire.  My original remodel plan did not envision a shared back wall (kitchen/dining room), removing the bulkhead over the doorway we were widening, or making the textured kitchen ceiling smooth to match the dining room.  It was Chris who suggested these things, and they made ALL THE DIFFERENCE between an average upgrade and a beautiful space.  They do use additional crew members as needed, but they've all been as cooperative and friendly as the Foltz team.  One newer crew member neglected to make the kitchen walls properly smooth for the paint job, but Chris made plain his standards weren't met in that instance and he'd personally be back to do the correction.  Normally, these kinds of issues are stressful when discussed between homeowners and contractors, but there was no tension or drama over this oversight--just the above-board good will and problem solving that characterizes the Foltz Construction Company.  Will I use them again?  You bet I will!  They're already lined up to do Phase Two (countertops, backsplash, sink, appliance install, and cabinet painting) of the kitchen, and on the list to move upstairs to do some remodeling in the master bedroom.  I found them via my neighbors, who are very particular, and now they're wondering if I'm ever going to give back the contractor I borrowed!

Fencing questions, answered by experts

The recommended height for a garden fence depends on its primary purpose. For pest control, the necessary height varies by animal. To keep out small pests like rabbits, a fence should be at least two to three feet tall. If you live in an area with deer, you will need a much taller fence, at least five feet high, to prevent them from jumping over. If the main goal is privacy, the fence should be at least seven feet tall. For purely decorative fences, the height is a matter of personal preference.

The maximum recommended slope on which you can build a racked or stepped fence is 45 degrees. After that, construction becomes quite tricky and may require the use of retaining walls or terraces to make the fenced area flatter.

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.

Corrugated metal is a strong, long-lasting material. A corrugated metal fence will typically last several decades, and the metal panels themselves may last for 40 to 60 years. The main thing you should be concerned about is the fence posts. Wood fence posts will last about five years if you purchase them untreated or about 15 years if you treat them after installation. Keep an eye on your posts and look out for insect damage and rot.

The lifespan of wire fencing heavily depends on factors like gauge, material, coating type, and environmental conditions. However, with proper maintenance, many wire fences last for 20 to 30 years. Coastal areas or regions with high rainfall may see reduced lifespans of 10 to 15 years due to increased corrosion risk.
