"I hired them to install a fence to match my neighbors existing fence. The existing fence was installed by a company called Clover. The attention to detail and perfection exhibited by Nimmer Co out shines the other company by miles. They took great care not to destroy my grass by placing plywood down as they drive their equipment around. I wish I could post comparison photos but the dumb site only allows for 5mb worth of pictures. So here is one showing how straight the fence is. Look how perfectly in line that is."
"Fantastic! They completed the entire job in one day, 25 bushes removed and 40’ of fencing installed. They did everything they said they would and more. Looking forward to working with A&J again!"
"Great! They spent 2 days repairing a poor roofing job that lead to our leaking and a several nests of wasps invading house. They also did a great job cleaning our gutters this spring.
They will be returning next spring for another issue we need addressed.
We were very happy with this company, Ben is very easy to talk with. "
"It was a great experience. Nick is very respectful and courteous, listened to my requests, explained what he felt would or wouldn't work based on my yard. I love the plants that he chose, as he paid attention to not only the colors, but the hardiness, the amount of work needed to care for them, and the seasonal colors they would turn. He and his workers really function as a team...they have known each other a long time and work incredibly hard. I asked a lot of questions, and he/they took the time to explain everything to me patiently. Nick and his team came out several times to fix my fence, and to do the prep work for the installation. Although the work happened at a busy time of year, he and his team made time to get things done properly. The day of the installation went by very quickly, and everything was done in short order. They cleaned up and it looked beautiful after. What is really impressive is that Nick and his team seem to love the natural things they work with, and want it done properly. Nick even threw in some extra work along one part of my fence, simply because he felt it needed to be done aesthetically, and did not charge me for it. This was a difficult summer for new plants, and several of the ones he installed didn't do well. I called and he offered advice for caring for them, and when they died, he sent his team out to install new ones. He backs up the word that he gives. I would not hesitate on recommending this company to anyone. I actually plan to use them again next year to finish up other parts of my yard. His prices are very fair, and I felt the quality was good. I love my yard now. "
"seemed like an expensive estimate and suggestions to do more than may have been necessary. They could be correct in the long run but for now I'm trying which seems like a reasonable, more cost effective solution suggested by another contractor.
"They cooked our Thanksgiving dinner, helped arrange parties, and have done house sitting for us. That is how I originally found them on Angies List; I was looking for a house sitter while we went on vacation for three weeks. They have arranged exterior concreting for me. I talk to them and do not have to deal with the sub-contractor. They have done some light interior, carpentry, and plumbing. They arranged for the people to come in and install a light for me. I do not use them as a general contractor. I use them for when I need something done I call Loretta and she will call the sub-contractors and then call me back and tell me the price."
"Epic and the crew from custom care quickly devised a solution to make our yard and water access safe and beautiful. They did the work faster than expected and were careful to secure all permits and preserve the environment. Great guys."
Do you need a permit to build a fence if you are simply replacing an existing fence? Whether you need a permit in this case depends on your local laws and regulations. Most municipalities consider a fence replacement project as being equal to building a new fence, so you likely will need a permit. Check with your local building inspection department or zoning department to see if you need a permit. If you hire a local fence contractor, this pro can take care of obtaining all permits for you.
The lifespan of a fence can range from 5 to 50 years, depending heavily on the material, local climate, and how well it is maintained. For example, a wooden fence might last 7 to 15 years, while a vinyl fence typically lasts 20 to 30 years. Metal, composite, and glass fences have some of the longest lifespans. Proper maintenance, such as regular cleaning, inspections, and staining or sealing for wood, is key to extending the life of any fence material. Vinyl and composite are durable options that don't require sealing.
Rust, bent panels, loose posts, and broken welds often require repair.
Removing fence posts that are set in concrete is something you can't do by hand. You will need an excavator, a strong post-puller, or a jackhammer. If you plan on recycling the concrete base, you may be able to cut the post out with a jackhammer and then set the new post in the existing base. However, it's usually better to remove both the fence post and concrete together. Due to the weight of concrete, you will need a hydraulic removal tool.
The best type of temporary fencing depends on its intended purpose. For example, if you need it for added security, to ensure the safety of children and animals, or to keep pests out of a garden, the ideal material will differ. For simply warning people away from a construction project, plastic orange fencing may be sufficient. Barricade fencing is a good choice for blocking off small areas. If you need to protect an area from trespassing, theft, or vandalism, more robust security fencing is necessary. Once you understand the primary function, you can select the most durable and cost-effective material for your specific project and yard size.
