"I thought I wrote a review of this a couple of years ago when the work
was done, but Angie's list has been emailing me for the past few
months to write a review.
Michael Evonich came at my request to make an estimate on installing
handrails on two short sets of steps from the sidewalk to our front porch.
 His estimate was good and we arranged for the job to be done and he
came at the arranged time and installed the handrails as promised in
good time and an excellent job.  We were very pleased with every aspect
 of the job.
It is now so long ago that I don't remember the date nor the cost. 
(It may well have been a lot more than the $200 I posted for this
review).I only know that I was very pleased with the job and with the cost. 
I am wondering if the reason we are now being asked to review this job is
because of the classification used in an earlier review.  Neither
"wrought iron" nor "fences" seems to accurately describe manufacture and
installation of handrails at steps, but those are the two categories
offored for Mike Evonich's services.  Whatever the classification
applicable, we were very pleased with Mike Evonich/Helping Handrail's
services, would use him again for similar or related work, and would
recommend him if someone were seeking those services.

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Ideally, when you replace a fence post, you should also replace the concrete footing. The concrete bonds to your new post, creating a secure base. If you install a new post into old concrete, it won’t be as sturdy.

That said, it is possible. Sometimes the post will lift right out of the concrete. If not, you can use a high-lift car jack to try and lift the pole out of the footing. Put the new post into the same hole and backfill it with fast-setting concrete. Keep in mind, this won’t work well for metal posts.

Deer can crawl under a fence if it has a gap of around 6 inches or more. Make sure to close all gaps at the bottom of your fence to keep deer out, and the bottom of the material should be tightly secured, or the deer will push right through it. As an added benefit, closing shorter gaps at the bottom of a fence can also keep rabbits out of your yard.

In most cases, you will need a building permit to put up a vinyl fence, especially if the fence is sitting on or close to your property line. You can ask your local building department or  fence installation company if your fence project will require a permit. If so, you can expect it to cost between $20 and $60. Your fence installer should pull the permit for you. Building without a permit could eventually require you to pay again to remove the fence and reinstall it after getting the job approved.

Silt fences are very effective when installed correctly and used in proper locations. However, there are places where they don’t work as well. This includes property with a concentrated water flow, where runoff could pool or cause a flooding hazard. You’ll also want to use caution when installing in areas susceptible to landslides. Your contractor will follow state guidelines and know when an alternate solution is more effective.

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.
