"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."

"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

Whether you need a permit to build or install a fence depends on several factors, including your location, the fence's height, its placement in your yard, and the materials used. In many cities and highly populated areas, a permit is required, especially for fences taller than 6 feet. Conversely, rural areas may have fewer restrictions. Typically, backyard privacy fences 6 feet or shorter do not require a permit, while front yard fences often have a lower height limit, sometimes as low as 3.5 feet. There can also be exceptions for properties in mixed residential-commercial zones. It's best to check with your local building inspection or zoning department to understand the specific requirements, height restrictions, and location rules for your area. A professional fence installer can help you navigate this process and often secure the necessary permits for you, though this may extend the project timeline.

You can keep a dog from digging under a fence by filling existing holes in your yard, installing a wire to your fence bottom, burying your fence bottom, making a designated digging spot, and removing visual stimuli. You can also dissuade your dog from wanting to dig under your fence and escape by scheduling more one-on-one playtime and ensuring they are getting enough exercise to keep them stimulated.

When it comes to materials, wire fences are the cheapest option. The average cost for a 150-foot wire fence is $1,350. The next cheapest material is chain-link, followed by wood.

As far as the style of fence, smaller, less private fences are cheaper than large, elaborate fences that block your whole yard. That’s why split-rail fences are the cheapest option for wooden fences. They cost roughly $10 to $30 per linear foot.

The first step in choosing a reputable dog fencing company is to confirm that the professional has experience in your particular area and maintains positive reviews online. You should also check the Better Business Bureau’s (BBB) website to see if they have accrued customer complaints in the past. Additionally, you can ask the following questions to qualify the pro:

  • Do you have experience installing the specific fence material I want?

  • Will you pull permits for the installation?

  • Will you help get a survey done to make sure I build on my property?

  • Do you have a list of referrals?

You can weather a new wood fence by applying vinegar with steel wool as a way to fade some of the coloring. You may also find it easier to stain your entire fence a new color instead of trying to get newer fence boards to match an older one.
