"RedLine Contracting did a great job drywalling my dining room ceiling and the ceiling in my stairwell. Before beginning the job, Gino was very professional, fully explaining the scope and cost of the project. He arrived on time, kept a tidy work area and finished in a timely fashion. I was so happy with the job well done, we are now discussing another home project in the near future. I highly recommend Gino and his team at RedLine Contracting."

"We had Vidt Enterprises do a complete bathroom remodel. Mr. Vidt and his crew were very professional and knowledgable, paying attention to every detail. He was always prompt and kept his work area clean. He even worked weekends to make sure our bathroom was ready by Christmas. He made sure everything was done correctly and to code. We couldn't be more pleased with how our bathroom turned out. We are 100% satisfied with his work and will hire him for future projects. Mr. Vidt is what a contractor should be...honest, dependable and professional. If you hire him, you will not be disappointed."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

It’s usually cheaper to buy pre-made fence panels than to build your own. This surprises many people since DIY tasks so often save money. However, large stores don’t have to pay the same amount per board of wood that homeowners do, allowing them to sell pre-made panels at a more cost-effective rate. Pre-made panels also save a great deal of time, energy, and guesswork. The drawback is that they are harder to customize to the shape and slope of your yard.

When considering how much of a gap should be under a fence or gate, a good rule of thumb is to keep gaps between 2 and 5 inches tall. This allows for some ground clearance for the gate but still provides safety for children and pets, who shouldn’t be able to squeeze through a gap of that size.

The average cost to install a wrought iron fence is around $3,150, with typical project costs ranging from $470 to $10,500. The final price can vary significantly based on several factors, including the fence's total length and height, design complexity, metal thickness, and your property's topography.

For materials alone, you can expect to pay around $25 to $35 per linear foot. When including installation, the cost is typically between $50 and $70 per linear foot.

Additional factors that can influence the total cost include:

  • Custom designs, decorative flourishes, gates, and columns

  • Labor costs in your area

  • The need for permits

  • Land preparation, such as old fence removal, tree or bush clearing, and land grading

For an accurate estimate, it is best to consult a professional fence installer with the specific measurements and design requirements for your project.

You can use pressure-treated wood for a horizontal fence, but you’ll need to purchase a thicker and higher-quality variety to ensure it doesn’t sag or warp after you install it. Use #2 pine grade lumber and boards and thicker dimensional lumber, such as a two-by-six. You’ll also need to use stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners, as the chemicals in the treated lumber will cause regular galvanized fasteners to rust. 

Both nails and screws are common in fence construction, including on pickets. Some builders prefer to use nails when connecting the pickets to the rails and screws when connecting the rails to the posts. However, the best option usually depends on the type of wood fencing and the variety of wood you choose.
