"I requested several estimates for a V300 white board fence, 88 feet long and 13 feet high. The quotes were: Great Valley Fence (ACE) at $3,900, Ergeon at $4,500, and Peralta’s Total Services at $6,415.20. Ergeon was very responsive and provided an estimate via Zoom the same day. Peralta and Great Valley Fence both visited my property in person, which I appreciated. I later decided to go with a hunter green V300 fence, but Ergeon didn’t offer that color, and Great Valley Fence quoted nearly double for a different color option. Since Peralta’s estimate was already the highest for white, I didn’t pursue that further. I was leaning toward Great Valley Fence due to their lower price, but I requested a 6- to 12-inch gap from the ground to help clear weeds between the old and new fence. It seems they weren’t able to meet that request and never followed up. Overall, I appreciated the effort from each company and plan to seek new estimates again in spring 2026."

"He did an excellent job, installing a chain link fence that withstood a horrific winter with winds that took down other fencing which i had not replaced last year, when Mr, Liefert replaced other fencing. I am planning at calling him again, once I get my tax refund."

"Chris and his two sons did an amazing job on remodeling my basement into a playroom for my twin boys. They were very sweet, made me feel comfortable and also were very good with my two toddler boys. The moment they came to my house to do an estimate, i felt very comfortable around them and they were very friendly and threw out ideas on the remodel, like lighting and other ideas. They finished the job in less than 30 days (which was the timeline given) and they were very patient with me when i had changed my mind on certain things. Chris even played with my boys and had conversations with me, so I felt like they were more family than strangers working on my house. They did an excellent job on the remodel and everything turned out better than I had envisioned it. They were always on time and always cleaned up each day after they were done. I will be using them again for future remodels and i'm very pleased with the job they did. Thank you again CM Contracting!"

"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."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

A high-quality wrought iron fence is one of the most durable options available and can last a lifetime, or even centuries, with proper care. However, wrought iron is susceptible to rust and corrosion if not maintained.

To maximize its lifespan, regular maintenance is required. This includes:

  • Cleaning the fence with soapy water every six months.

  • Scrubbing away any rust or corrosion as soon as it appears.

  • Applying a new coat of paint or refinishing the fence every few years to protect the metal from moisture and oxygen. The recommended frequency varies, with sources suggesting anywhere from every 1 to 10 years.

If significant rust develops, it's wise to hire a professional fence repair company to clean the rust and reseal the fence. The cost to refinish a fence is typically between $5 and $12 per square foot, a worthwhile investment to ensure its longevity.

The first step in choosing a reputable dog fencing company is to confirm that the professional has experience in your particular area and maintains positive reviews online. You should also check the Better Business Bureau’s (BBB) website to see if they have accrued customer complaints in the past. Additionally, you can ask the following questions to qualify the pro:

  • Do you have experience installing the specific fence material I want?

  • Will you pull permits for the installation?

  • Will you help get a survey done to make sure I build on my property?

  • Do you have a list of referrals?

The plants that grow well on a hog wire fence are any type of climbing or vining plant. This includes garden crops such as green beans, squash, and potatoes as well as jasmine and ivy. Compared to other farm fencing costs, hog wire comes at an affordable price and makes a great trellis if you plant climbing vines along the base of the fence.

Posts for a horizontal fence should be no more than 6 feet apart. Wood pickets are not as strong when mounted horizontally as when mounted vertically. As such, the fence panels on a horizontal fence can’t cover the same span between posts as a vertical fence can. If you install the posts further apart on a horizontal fence, the fence will lose stability, making the boards more likely to sag. 

Proper installation can make a big difference in your fence's maintenance needs. For example, wood fences that aren't installed correctly can be more likely to rot. While it's possible to DIY a fence installation, hiring a local fence company can mean much less work for you in the long run. 

A professional fence installer will make sure your fence is positioned correctly and installed in a way that ensures longevity and limited upkeep requirements.
