"First of all, I love the final product. I initially selected Tosh because Thomas said he'd done this type of project before. However, he didn't talk to me about changes in the supplies and money charges along the way. He hit me with a lot of additional money on the last day, that was way over the estimate he gave me. After we settled on the final bill and he said he would send me an invoice marked paid in full, he contacted me the next day and asked for even more money for additional charges. With the dimensions and diagram I gave him at the start, I feel he had enough information to accurately predict the supplies he would need and include that in the estimate. I would have gladly worked with him on making modifications to stay within my budget if he would have only asked me. Very disappointed in that aspect of this project."

"James did a fantastic job on our deck. We needed to install new posts, as the old ones were not to code and beginning to deteriorate. It was the hottest day of the summer and all new posts were installed by early afternoon, and the deck above was raised a few inches back into level. The next day, tongue and groove, and new lighting was installed below the joists. The place looks like a million bucks. James was efficient, pleasant, and knew what he was doing. I would highly recommend green mountain to anyone looking to have work done on their home."

"Zac was excellent to work with and did great work. We had him install a black aluminum picket fence in our yard. The price was great and quality is excellent. He was very responsive to questions and concerns when they came up a couple of times. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to have a fence installed in the greater Lynchburg area."

"I hired Tosh to complete two projects... Repair of two sections of a wooden privacy fence in back yard which included digging out two rotten posts and replacing them in the dead heat of the summer. Also, I had a brand new interior door to be replaced putting it on the existing frame and putting on new handle. When calling for quotes all other handymen came by to see the job and quoted as they do in most cases, Tosh did not inspect the job infact, he called me back and asked if I had gotten my repairs done and lowered his original phone quote and I went with him! He was very courteous on the phone to include when he had to reschedule due to vehicle trouble and other situations, etc. The fencing was completed despite the fact I believe it took much, much longer than expected and I felt badly because it was such a hot day! Believe it would have sped up the process and been well worth it to the handyman if a hole digger had been rented for the project (since this was obviously not something they had in their inventory of equipment) The holes were dug in very dry soil with a manual hole digger.... Long story short the door could not be installed as it did not "fit the opening" in the doorway and I was told there must be something wrong or incorrect about the door as it should have fit. The handyman did not have the proper tool to cut out for the hinges but did this manually and did a fairly nice job considering he did not have a Dremel as he stated he did not bring with him. Not able to hang the door, hinges have been cut so there is no returning the door so I have a door that cannot be hung and must start over with this project! I felt a lot of this could have been avoided if the handyman had inspected the job prior to coming to perform. I paid him the amount quoted to include hanging the door... plus the cost of the two wooden posts. I had thought that the original post WAS included in the quote but... guess not. I had advised from the start one post was rotted and would need to be replaced and purchased as part of the project. In other cases, the cost of materials was included in the quote from handymen....I assumed the same for this project. The gentleman was young, very quiet, worked very hard for a long time and was certainly very courteous."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Yes, fence posts need to be installed below the frost line to ensure stability and prevent heaving caused by freezing and thawing cycles. The frost line is the depth at which soil freezes during winter. By placing posts below this line, often around 3 to 4 feet deep or as recommended for your specific region, you reduce the risk of the ground shifting, which can lead to leaning or unstable fences. Adequate depth provides better anchoring and helps maintain the fence's integrity, ensuring it remains secure and upright throughout changing seasons.

Fence pickets typically face out (away from your home or the garden that you're enclosing). Both the rails and pickets sit on the outside of a fence so that anyone passing by can see the finished side. Not only does the look increase your curb appeal, but it's also the neighborly thing to do when placing a barrier between two properties, even when you're installing a privacy fence.

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. 

You can sometimes install a fence over a gas line. Fence installation typically requires a two-foot depth for posts, so if the lines are shallower than two feet, you cannot put a fence post over the line. You’ll need to call 811 to get the gas lines located and marked before you start the project.

You can buy wrought iron fencing from a trusted fence installation company near you. You could also opt to buy it privately from a homeowner who is interested in recycling their own wrought iron materials. Manufacturers stopped mass production of wrought iron as steel became more affordable to produce, so you likely won't find it in any local big box stores.
