"280 feet, 4 foot high Picket Fence. Due to a language barrier we got off to the wrong foot. (approximately 80 feet of the fence was installed with the wrong style) HOWEVER! Once we understood each other the problem was quickly resolved. The workmen (always, polite and respective) uninstalled the incorrect fence sections and then reinstalled what we ordered. They came through with flying colors and completed the job in one day. The finished fence is exactly what we ordered. Thank you Javier for your professional work ethics. It was a pleasure working with you."

"Alvis Home Remodeling was fantastic. Because the cost was lower than some others I didn’t know what to expect. I was very pleased with the finished product. Another important note is not only was I completely satisfied with the work, I was also impressed with the clean up after. When the repairman left there was nothing else I needed to do. I would not hesitate to use his services in the future!"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

The lifespan of a fence can range from 5 to 50 years, depending heavily on the material, local climate, and how well it is maintained. For example, a wooden fence might last 7 to 15 years, while a vinyl fence typically lasts 20 to 30 years. Metal, composite, and glass fences have some of the longest lifespans. Proper maintenance, such as regular cleaning, inspections, and staining or sealing for wood, is key to extending the life of any fence material. Vinyl and composite are durable options that don't require sealing.

Costs depend on material, labor, and additional features like gates or decorative elements.

The cost to build a fence is about $3,100 on average, but you could pay anywhere from $400 to $13,700 or more. Your cost will depend on the length, height, and materials for the fence. If you hire a professional installer, labor costs typically represent about half of the total cost of the project. This means you potentially can save quite a bit of money doing the work yourself.

While most homeowners aren't required to tell their neighbors that they’re putting up a fence, it's certainly a good idea to do so. Not only is it considerate to give neighbors a heads up about construction noise, but building a fence may limit your neighbors' access to their own backyards while building is taking place. 

A chain link fence typically lasts between 15 and 20 years, but with proper maintenance, it can last for 30 years or more. To preserve the fence, it's important to keep the mesh wire tight, which can be done with a come-along tool every 6 to 12 months. Investing in a fence with a galvanized, powder-coated, or vinyl-coated finish can increase its lifespan to 20 to 30 years and reduce maintenance needs, as these coatings provide extra protection against the elements.
