Get matched with top fencing pros in Lumberport, WV

Q: Can I build a fence against my neighbor's fence?

• <div><p>You can't build a fence against your neighbor's fence if it touches or is attached to it unless you get explicit permission from your neighbor. Most municipalities recommend building a fence about two feet away from your neighbor's fence to allow access for fence repair and mowing.</p></div>

Q: How do you make a wooden fence look old?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: Are hedges less expensive than fences?

• <div><p>Hedges are a better financial investment for a home than fences in several ways. First, hedges are less expensive to install than fences. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-fence-installation-cost.htm">Fence installation costs</a> <b>$1,775 to $4,600</b>, depending on the type and size. You can also choose to plant smaller and less expensive hedges, knowing that it will take longer for them to mature. Next, mature hedges add resale value to the home, meaning the cost savings get even better when it's time to sell.</p></div>

Q: How far apart should chain link fence posts be?

• <div><p>For a chain link fence, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-far-apart-should-fence-posts-be.htm">ideal distance between fence posts</a> is 6 to 10 feet apart. Measure carefully to ensure even spacing, and resist the temptation to extend the distance more than 10 feet. Doing so could impact the stability of your fence. </p></div>

Q: Do you stain both sides of a fence?

• <div><p>You should stain both sides of your fence to get the full benefits. Fences often fall along property lines, so you may want to save a buck by leaving your neighbor&rsquo;s side in the dust. If you do that, all you get is a slightly better view. Moisture and UV rays can still sneak in through the side that&rsquo;s unpainted or worn down and damage your fence. Rot and rust will spread, even if you can&rsquo;t see it from your side of the lawn.</p></div>

My grass was really high and he tackled the job no problem. He was polite and professional. My yard looks fantastic. It impressed my neighbor across the street how great it looked - the best in the 4 years I have lived there - that he asked for a business card. I definitely recommend!
