"Herb was the first person in my house, other than me, since March. He wore a mask and was very courteous about the fact that I am "elderly and compromised" and worried about Covid 19. He did everything quickly and found ways to fix things that were less invasive and therefore less expensive than I expected. I was pleased with his communication and punctuality and it seems everything was done well."

"Mark and his associate arrived only three days after first contact, when all other estimates couldn't start for at least a month. They completed the work in just a few hours, doing a beautiful job despite the usual unforeseen difficulties that always seem to arise and at a very reasonable price. I couldn't ask for any better treatment from a contractor and wouldn't hesitate to contact them for future projects or to recommend them to others."

"The day before the fence installation, my wife and I went out for a couple hours after lunch to shop and do a few errands. As I was approaching my house, I instantly noticed that the old wood stockade fence was gone and the material for the new fence was neatly stacked next to my garage. We purchased the house 4 years ago so this was the first time I saw my yard without a fence. I joked with United Fence asking them who stole my old fence. It was if a Ninja fence crew waited for me to leave so they could swoop in to take away the old fence. LOL!!! The next day, a two man crew arrived at the appointed time and went right to work. The men were very hard working and friendly. If it were not for the gate and a couple holes they had to drill through concrete; the job would have been completed the first day. Before I decided to purchase the new fence I got three quotes. I found Untied Fence here and they were the fourth quote. United was 40 to 50% less than the other quotes. I asked if I could see a sample to the fence they sell. The owner stopped by my house and I was happy with what they offered. I am very happy with the quality and workmanship of the installation. I shudder to think that I almost paid up to 50% more for the same fence. I would not hesitate to recommend United Fence to anyone."

"It is very convenient, and reasonably priced.  The only thing that they could work on is the punctuality of the pick up times.  The rest of the experience was satisfactory.  My daughter has also used them.  I would highly recommend this service."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Staining a fence is less expensive than painting a fence due to the cost of materials and the longevity of the finish. Stain not only lasts longer than paint without chipping or peeling, but you also won’t have to put in the extra time and cost to prime the surface first. 

The average lifespan of a wood fence is 15 to 20 years, but some can last for 40 years or more depending on several factors. The type of wood is crucial; for example, untreated pine may only last 5 to 10 years, while pressure-treated pine can last up to 20 years, and cedar's natural resistance can extend its life to 40 years. Other factors include local weather conditions, with wet and windy climates causing faster deterioration, and the quality of maintenance. Higher-end wood, metal posts, and privacy fence styles also tend to last longer.

A gate shouldn’t be higher or lower than the fence it's attached to. If the gate is lower than the fence, it encourages strangers to peek at your property. If the gate is higher than the fence, it just looks weird. Gates allow for increased security and aesthetics, so ensure the gate rests at the same height as the fence.

There is no best color for a vinyl fence, as it truly depends on a homeowner’s aesthetic preference. Classic white is the most popular and widely available of all the vinyl fence colors. However, contemporary black, warm browns, and natural grays are becoming more mainstream. One perk of darker-colored fences is that they are easier to “keep clean,” as in, dirt and debris don’t show up as easily as they would on lighter-colored fences. So if you don’t plan to give your fence regular washings, a dark color like black, gray, or brown would be the best choice.

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.
