"I needed a privacy fence replaced and had three contractors look at the project and all said they would provide me a quote. I never heard from any of them. I got in contact with Bryant Contracting and had a quote and was on their schedule to have the project completed within a couple days. The project was started on schedule and was completed in three days within budget. They are prompt, efficient and the quality of work is excellent. I will use them on future projects and have recommended them to family members and friends."

"I called Mike on a Friday for some help moving three bedrooms of furniture and with cleaning out my attic and an outside closet. They showed up on Tuesday morning bright and early, right when they said they would be here, and they worked continuously the whole time they were here. It took them a little less than two hours to do what I thought was at least a half a days worth of work. I gladly paid the two hour minimum and I believe that it was a great deal. They were careful not to damage anything, and they did exactly what I asked . Their rates are reasonable, and I recommend them wholeheartedly for any size move."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

The maximum recommended slope on which you can build a racked or stepped fence is 45 degrees. After that, construction becomes quite tricky and may require the use of retaining walls or terraces to make the fenced area flatter.

Standard post spacing for shadowbox fences is 6 to 8 feet. This spacing ensures proper support for the heavy weight of overlapping pickets and prevents sagging between posts. However, areas with high winds, slopes, or unstable soil conditions may require closer spacing.

When choosing wood for a fence, consider your budget and geographic region. The most popular and common types of wood are cedar, redwood, and pressure-treated pine. Cedar is a top choice due to its natural durability, resistance to rot and insects, and budget-friendly price. Redwood is another durable, tried-and-true option, though it is typically more expensive. Pressure-treated wood, such as pine, is also a widely used and popular alternative. These materials are readily available at most hardware stores, which makes future repairs and replacements easier. Their accessibility and long-lasting performance make them excellent choices for most fence installation projects.

The depth of the fence posts depends on the height of your fence. If you’re installing a 6-foot fence, then digging 2-foot-deep holes for the fence posts will help ensure a secure installation. However, if you’re installing an 8-foot fence, the posts will need to be deeper than 2 feet to support the structure properly. Also, consider how far apart the fence posts should be to provide adequate support.

Ideally, when you replace a fence post, you should also replace the concrete footing. The concrete bonds to your new post, creating a secure base. If you install a new post into old concrete, it won’t be as sturdy.

That said, it is possible. Sometimes the post will lift right out of the concrete. If not, you can use a high-lift car jack to try and lift the pole out of the footing. Put the new post into the same hole and backfill it with fast-setting concrete. Keep in mind, this won’t work well for metal posts.
