"Colton did a great job with welding up my dump trailer. Overtime it developed some issues and without hesitation, he came and picked up my dump trailer for me and immediately got to work and got it back to need fixed as I requested within about a day and a half."
"Not only great prices, but the service was great, fast, and extremely professional. No pun intended. Kevin, my installer, was super nice and he had to come back because I setup the fence over my property line, and he did a wonderful, fast job then, too. I have already recommended Xtreme Fence to everyone who asks about mine. Thank you."
A horizontal fence is typically more expensive to build than a vertical fence, often costing between 10% and 20% more. The higher cost is due to the need for a higher grade of lumber and more posts to prevent the boards from sagging, which increases both material and labor expenses. Despite the higher price, horizontal fences tend to be more durable and offer a more distinct, modern look compared to the more common vertical picket style. However, they may not be the best option for privacy, as there can be slight gaps between the horizontal rails.
Installation typically takes 2-5 days, depending on the fence size and site conditions.
A wrought iron fence is generally considered a worthwhile investment, provided the cost fits your budget and its characteristics meet your needs. While it is an expensive material, its exceptional durability and longevity mean you can save money over time by not having to replace it.
Key benefits include:
Durability and Security: Wrought iron is strong and provides excellent security for your home.
Longevity: With proper maintenance, it can last a lifetime or longer.
Aesthetics: It offers a classy, timeless, and elegant look that can boost your home's curb appeal and property value, especially when complementing brick or stone architecture.
However, it's important to note that wrought iron fencing does not offer much privacy. If professionally installed and maintained, it is a sound long-term investment.
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.
Generally, the height of your dog fence should be 3 times the distance from the ground to your dog’s shoulder. For most small breeds, a 4-foot high fence will be more than enough to keep them from jumping out. Medium-sized breeds like Golden Retrievers, Labradors, and German Shepherds will need at least a 5-6 foot fence to stay contained. Large breeds that are also excellent jumpers, such as Greyhounds, may need a 7-foot high fence.
