"AMJ did a fantastic job disposing of my old deck and building a new one down to the footers! The whole crew was easy to work with and showed up when expected. All the cuts are clean, and the deck is a show stopper. I have gotten so many compliments on my deck. Iâ m glad a chose AMJ to build my family a new deck!"

"As promised, the project started and finished on the time agreed. The fence was installed without issues, even thought our yard was loaded with rocks, they worked through and installed a terrific fence. They were professional, cleaned up every day and left no debris at end of job. Highly recommend them"

"We very much appreciated that Chris listened to what we wanted to have done and why; after listening he sent pictures of options and made suggestions that would help to make the kitchen look really nice.  He sent pictures as the work was being completed to make sure we liked everything as it was being completed.  After the initial work was completed, we added a few more things to the to do list and had the kitchen light fixtures, the range hood, outside light fixtures and replacements of our sun room skylights.  We very much liked the work that was done and are planning/saving for our next project and will be calling Chris again to complete the work.

"It was very good! He has very good communication skills, he was letting us know every step of the work, when to expect, if they're running late and they also did follow up. They pricing was reasonable for the type of the work that we needed done on the driveway, he was friendly yet professional at the same time attentive to what we needed. He was not pushy, he was very patient and in fact we have referred him to our neighbor down the road and they ended up contracting with him."

"I wanted a catio built on my porch so my kitties could spend time outside in the sun. This pro built one with lots of ledges and ramps, and without any cracks so bugs can’t get through. Now I can be out there with them! Thorough job and planning! Great customer service! Did the job quickly as well! Satisfied customer and I will hire again for other projects."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

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.

You can't build a fence against your neighbor's fence if it touches or is attached to it unless you get explicit permission from your neighbor. Most municipalities recommend building a fence about two feet away from your neighbor's fence to allow access for fence repair and mowing.

A metal fence can last for over 30 years if maintained correctly, though the exact lifespan varies by material. For instance, chain-link and aluminum fences can function well for 25 to 30 years, while corrugated metal fences may last up to 60 years with regular maintenance. The lifespan can be shortened by harsh weather, abuse, or lower-quality materials. Galvanized metal tends to last longer due to its protective barrier, whereas sheet and corrugated metal may rust faster than solid pieces.

In terms of materials, chicken wire mesh will be the most inexpensive option to use when building your fence. The downside is that it’s not the most attractive garden fence option. In a similar vein, you could choose a DIY fence made out of repurposed items, like car tires, or wooden pallets, either of which would be free to collect. 

Paint your fence, install customized fence slats, or attach a bamboo screen for a more appealing yard aesthetic. Paint can give your yard a unique and fun look, and adding fence slats gives you a classic fence appearance. Bamboo screens are probably the most unique option that can add a fun vibe to your space.
