"We were looking to replace some vinyl fence panels, and add on a section for additional privacy on one side of our house. Greg was not only able to match up to our existing panels, but presented a couple of options for us to consider. We had a few companies come out, but his attention to detail was second to none. We couldn't be happier with the end result. If you are in need of a fence, I highly recommend having Macs Fencing come out to look at things."

"First, Matt showed up which was 99% better than anyone else I contacted. I used him from straightening a weather vane to fixing a place on my roof to repairing and painting my front door surround to putting in a couple of windows. His work is exacting and very well done and done when he said it would be. I certainly would hire him again."

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.

Both nails and screws are common in fence construction, including on pickets. Some builders prefer to use nails when connecting the pickets to the rails and screws when connecting the rails to the posts. However, the best option usually depends on the type of wood fencing and the variety of wood you choose.

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.

Rust, bent or broken bars, loose posts, and weakened welds are common problems that require repair to maintain security and appearance.

Clean regularly, inspect for damage, and seal or paint wooden fences to protect against weather.
