"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

Your wooden gate post hole should be a third to a half of the height of the post. Also, note that the diameter of the post hole should be three times the diameter of the post. You should set the post in concrete to ensure a long-lasting and durable post that will withstand the test of time.

Check for gaps or weak spots where your dog could escape and seal them. Remove toxic plants, chemicals, and potentially hazardous items. The list includes cocoa bean mulch, which is harmful to pups if ingested.

It's also essential to provide shade and fresh water. You may want to consider installing a dog-friendly surface on concrete areas like artificial turf. Additionally, regularly inspect for potential hazards, such as sharp objects or broken glass. Most importantly, supervise your dog during outdoor time to ensure their safety.

The most common hog wire gauge for a fence is 12.5. However, you can choose from a few gauges based on your needs. While 12.5 is a reliable gauge for penning in large, strong animals, 9 gauge is a better option of you have large animals that are easily spooked, such as horses. For smaller animals, like dogs or pigs, you can use a 16 gauge hog wire.

The best under-gate dog barrier is one that extends to the ground. This effectively keeps dogs in and won't give them room to squeeze through. However, dogs that dig can still get under the barrier. Deter digging by paving the ground beneath the gate or filling it in with rocks or gravel. Be careful using wire to extend dog gates, as the sharp ends may cut or hurt your dog's paws.

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.
