Bill was very thorough and professional. He arrived on time, assessed to job that needed to be done and completed it in a very timely manner. He did a very good job and I would use him again for any drywall, painting, decks, or fencing that I need done.

This was a very good experience overall. They were efficient, courteous and fast. This is the second fencing project Fence Crafters has done for me. Last year I had 3 acres fenced off on the front of my property. I will use Fence Crafters for any future fencing projects I have!

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Electric fences use very little energy and shouldn’t cause any surprises on your next energy bill; You may only notice an extra couple of dollars on the bill. While electric fences don’t consume much energy, they still need it. If you have a power outage after a storm, your electric fence will likely stop working.

A bamboo fence can last up to 20 years when properly installed and maintained. Bamboo is a durable material, but to get the most life out of it, you should clean and seal the fence every few years. Staining the bamboo can also restore the appearance if the color fades over time. Use screws to fasten the bamboo, rather than twine, to ensure the bamboo fence stays together longer.

Wood, vinyl, chain link, and aluminum are common materials. Choose based on durability, maintenance needs, and aesthetics.

As with any project or material, installing wrought iron fencing has advantages and disadvantages. Some pros and cons of this fence material include:

Pros

Long lifespan with proper maintenance
Very durable
Aesthetically pleasing
Functional as well as decorative

Cons

Requires regular maintenance and cleaning

Limited privacy

If possible, it is beneficial to paint both sides of your fence to protect the fence more completely from the elements. Painting both sides of your fence will create a more consistent appearance as well. However, the time and cost involved in painting both sides of the fence may cause people to paint only the side they see.
