"From the initial estimate to the finished fence this went very well. My entire back fence needed to be replaced and I wanted auto close on the gates. During the walk down, it was acknowledged that I had metal posts that could be reused and that some of them did need to be reset. I was quoted 3 days for the replacement. On the first day they got the old fence down and had all the rails up for the new fence and had started putting up the boards. When I got home the second day, the fence was complete. My neighbors were impressed with the speed and quality. The estimate was right on. I had a problem with the auto-close on one of the gates about a week later and they came out and fixed it."
"They came out as scheduled and were able to complete the fence in about 3 days. It included setting posts in concrete and constructing the panels on site as well as two gates, one wider gate in line with outside gate for wheelbarrow entrance and the other narrower and on side close to sidewalk. They also installed wood boards under fence so critters including my dog are discouraged from digging under. Gates have nice latches including a wire loop on the inside to pull the latch open when exiting. I was very pleased with the result. They were respectful of the existing plants and raised bed rows taking care not to trample more than necessary."
"This was a first time project for us, installing a deck. We were looking for a reasonable and reliable contractor that provided quality work, we didnt want any surprises or delays... Hiring MRI Construction was the best decision we made!. Shannon and Dawna were very professional and well skilled at their job. They both provided excellent service and quality work. They went above and beyond what was expected. They were always on time and efficient and completed the work as promised. We will definitely have them back for any future projects."
"C & C Roofing guaranteed us no leaks and even promised to come back out if the leak continued anytime within the next few months after their repairs. We are pretty much through the rough weather season and that was not necessary as everything seems to have been taken care of properly on the first visit."

"We were originally going to have our backyard fence and gates replaced. Ted was quick to reply and came out to our house to provide an estimate. While I first thought the estimate was high, I later had other bids come in that were comparable or even higher. My wife decided we hadn't budgeted enough for a replacement job, especially considering we still had some remodel projects that needed to be done, so we decided to just do a repair job this year and revisit replacing the fence next year. To repair the fence required replacing 4 posts and then re-attaching the current fence sections to the new posts. Of the companies that bid on the original replacement job, Ted was the only one willing to take on the repair project as the others said it was "too small of a project." Ted's team was able to get out to the house relatively quick given the busy season and did a great job. I would definitely hire them again."
"We really enjoyed working with Pete - what a great guy! He and his crew did a wonderful job and we now have a fence that is superior to the last one, stronger and sturdier, solid. They worked in the snow and rain to meet the deadline. They cleaned up very well. If we don't do the staining treatment ourselves, we will definitely have them come back for that service. Thanks Pete. It was a pleasure!"
"Mt. Hood Fence Built us a corrugated metal fence to our specifications on some difficult terrain. Liz, the owner of Mt. Hood Fence, added some details that enhanced our preliminary design and made the overall project come together nicely. Liz suggested lighting and framing that improved the look of the fence and explained each part of the construction as the project moved along. I give Mt. Hood fence an unqualified recommendation for all fencing needs. An exceptional company with an honest owner who has a strong work ethic."
Who pays for a new fence between neighbors depends on its location relative to the property line. If you build the fence entirely on your property, you are solely responsible for the costs of installation, maintenance, and repair. If the fence is built directly on the property line, both neighbors are typically responsible for the costs. In this case, it is essential to consult with your neighbor beforehand to agree on a plan for payment. While you should always inform your neighbor of your plans in advance, you generally cannot force them to contribute financially unless there are specific local laws, such as in California, where both parties might be responsible for costs unless a different agreement exists. It's a good idea to get a property line survey to know the exact boundaries before building.
There are many pros and cons to vinyl and composite fencing. Both fencing types offer longer lifespans than wood fencing, with some notable advantages. Whether one is better for you will depend on a few factors. Composite is better if you prefer recycled materials, while vinyl is extremely easy to clean.
Also, consider the disadvantages: vinyl can be more expensive, while composite fencing fades during the first six months.
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.
How long it takes to install a fence depends on the size of the fence; the longer the fence, the longer the install will take. That said, you can typically install a bamboo fence over a weekend for a reasonably sized yard. A team of fencing contractors can likely get your bamboo fence assembled in half a day to a day.
