"I worked with Joe fall of 2020 to install a post and wire fence on my property with four board fencing along the road frontage. In bidding the project I reached out to six different fencing contractors in CVille and the surrounding area - Joe was BY FAR the most responsive and easiest to work with. After hashing out the project details via email and phone he promptly did a walk down of the property and generated a bid his prices were competitive with bids I received from the other contractors. On the first day of the install, Joe and his crew did an excellent job walking the project with me to ensure the fence line details were just what I wanted. The back corner of the property is somewhat complex with a stand of trees we wanted to keep intact. This crew did a great job working through the tight space and we were able to keep all the trees. My wife and I are both so pleased with the final result and could not be happier with the aesthetic improvements and function the fencing brought to our property! Joe was timely and supremely easy to work with during the entire process from initial project discussion, bid generation, fence detail negotiations, installation, and quality control/final inspection upon delivery. We can not recommend Joe enough!"

"I hired Nathan to clean out and tear down an old dilapidated structure on my property. Building was approximately 40x40 and filled with garbage and old equipment and tools. This project was a dirty one that required itâ s fair share of heavy lifting and manual labor. Nathan worked diligently and in all weather conditions. Price was outstanding for the quality of work done. Nathan not only did the clean out and demolition, he took care of arranging the rental of equipment and handled the hauling of equipment to the job. He was reliable, resourceful, hardworking, and honest. Someone I felt I could trust working in close correlation to my home. Highly recommend for any job! We will be utilizing him and his company again in the future! Thanks NEK!"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

In the vast majority of cases, chain-link fences are less expensive than wood fences. Installing a wood fence costs anywhere from 20% to 30% more than a chain-link fence, or an average of $3,100, whereas a similarly sized chain-link fence will average around $2,400. Even with add-ons and additional protective finishes, a chain-link fence is very likely to cost you less than a wood fence. The only exception would be a split rail wood fence, which can cost about half the price of a chain-link fence or less.

The best wood for fence posts are redwood, cedar, and pressure-treated pine. Wood posts made from these materials will typically lasts between 15 and 30 years, depending on the specific type you choose and your local climate. With proper care and maintenance, a fence post made of these materials can withstand most weather conditions.

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.

A metal fence can last for over 30 years if maintained correctly, though the exact lifespan varies by material. For instance, chain-link and aluminum fences can function well for 25 to 30 years, while corrugated metal fences may last up to 60 years with regular maintenance. The lifespan can be shortened by harsh weather, abuse, or lower-quality materials. Galvanized metal tends to last longer due to its protective barrier, whereas sheet and corrugated metal may rust faster than solid pieces.

DIY installation is possible for small fences or sections. However, professional installation is recommended for larger projects to ensure proper alignment, stability, durability, correct post setting, and compliance with local zoning codes.
