"DJ was quick to respond and great with communication. He came right out and didn’t estimate and followed up quickly. The work was done efficiently and timely. Repaired our fence which was improperly secured and came apart in a wind storm and fixed our gates. Great price and service. Highly recommend !!!"

"I hired ShoreFix to replace a gate closure across my driveway. The gate is only a year old, and not many contractors want to deal with someone else's work without starting from scratch. By the time Dustin arrived I thought I was well-versed in my needs and prepared for the unnecessary upsell. The concept of what I needed done was on point. However, the practical work had a few details missing. I didn't have pins that fit into the driveway and I didn't have a handle to open and close the gate. He didn't try the unnecessary upheld and was willing to do exactly the work I needed. I appreciate ShoreFix for taking on the small job when no one else would. I'm also appreciative that Dustin did great work at a fair price. Now, as I consider more fence work, I know who to call."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

The most durable metal for a fence is wrought iron. With proper care, a wrought iron fence can last for centuries. This means regular resealing to stave off rust and corrosion, especially in coastal climates with salty sea air. In these environments, chain link and corrugated fencing tend to stand up better to the elements with fewer maintenance needs.

Pickets should sit at least 2 inches off the ground to encourage groundwater to flow underneath. Pickets can sit as much as 6 inches off the ground, but setting it any higher could let pets in or out of your yard unintentionally. These are not to be confused with the fence posts anchored underground with soil or concrete footing.

While they can be closer, the maximum distance between fence posts for residential fences is 8 feet. This ensures the panels are adequately supported by the fence posts. This is usually dictated by the width of the panel, which is typically between 5 and 8 feet. While narrower panels will require more posts, they’ll be lighter and easier to work with than wider panels that are the same height.

It’s usually cheaper to buy pre-made fence panels than to build your own. This surprises many people since DIY tasks so often save money. However, large stores don’t have to pay the same amount per board of wood that homeowners do, allowing them to sell pre-made panels at a more cost-effective rate. Pre-made panels also save a great deal of time, energy, and guesswork. The drawback is that they are harder to customize to the shape and slope of your yard.

Who pays for a new fence between neighbors depends on its location relative to the property line. If you build the fence entirely on your property, you are solely responsible for the costs of installation, maintenance, and repair. If the fence is built directly on the property line, both neighbors are typically responsible for the costs. In this case, it is essential to consult with your neighbor beforehand to agree on a plan for payment. While you should always inform your neighbor of your plans in advance, you generally cannot force them to contribute financially unless there are specific local laws, such as in California, where both parties might be responsible for costs unless a different agreement exists. It's a good idea to get a property line survey to know the exact boundaries before building.
