frequently Asked Questions

What types of fencing do you install?

We install all major types of fencing including wood, vinyl, aluminum, chain link, and ornamental iron. Wood and vinyl are popular choices for residential properties while aluminum and chain link are often used commercially. Ornamental iron is a beautiful option for security and aesthetics. We can help you choose the best fencing to suit your needs.

What is the process for getting a fence installed?

The process starts with a site visit and consultation to discuss your project and take measurements. We then provide a detailed, written estimate outlining the scope of work. Once approved, we schedule the install on our calendar. Our crew will have the permits needed and arrive on time to start digging post holes and setting posts. The fence panels or sections are then built and installed section by section until complete. We can coordinate with your schedule.

How long does it take to install a fence?

The installation timeframe varies by the length and type of fence but is usually completed within 3-5 days. We’ll provide a more accurate estimate after an on-site consultation. Chain link and wood privacy fences typically install quicker than ornate iron or vinyl. Weather conditions can also affect the schedule. For large projects, we may send multiple crews to expedite the work.

Do you provide warranty on fence installations?

Yes, we stand behind our workmanship and provide a 1-year warranty on labor for all fence installations. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty for materials like vinyl, iron, and wood may vary per manufacturer and will be specified in your contract.

What is the cost per linear foot to install a wood privacy fence?

Our costs vary depending on materials used but on average, expect to pay $25-60 per linear foot for wood privacy fencing. This includes cedar, redwood, or pressure-treated pine materials along with steel posts, hardware, gates, permits, labor and disposal fees. The height and terrain can affect pricing. We provide competitive estimates tailored to your specific project.

Do you repair existing fences?

How much does it cost to repair a fence?

Fence repair costs range from $100 for minor repairs up to $30 per linear foot to rebuild sections. We price each job according to the specifics like materials, labor, site access, permits required, and disposal fees. There is often a trip charge as well. We aim to provide affordable solutions to extend the life of your existing fence.

Can a fence be stained or painted after installing?

Yes. We recommend letting the wood cure and dry out for 3-6 months after installation before applying stains or paints. Proper prep work like light sanding and cleaning is also important before applying finishes to ensure it adheres and lasts. We can come back after installation to stain or paint per your specifications.

What type of fencing is best for pets?

For pets, we recommend a privacy fence at least 6 feet tall with welded wire fencing secured to the bottom. This prevents pets from digging underneath and gives them less access to try to jump over. Wood, vinyl, or iron materials are durable and easy to clean. Gates should have secure latches to keep pets safely contained in the yard.

Do you move existing fences?

We can remove and reinstall existing fences to new locations on your property. This requires dismantling the fence, preparing the new site, and reinstalling the salvaged materials or supplementing with new materials as needed. Get in touch for a quote on fence removal and relocation.

How often should fences be maintained?

Plan on inspecting your fences twice per year and performing maintenance as needed. Look for damaged or deteriorating boards, loose posts, and sagging gates. Keeping wood fences properly sealed, removing vegetation, and checking for holes or erosion under the fence will prolong its lifespan. We offer regular maintenance agreements too.

What should I consider when choosing a fence style?

The main considerations are privacy level, aesthetics, durability, cost, and maintenance. Think about your goals – security, pet containment, decoration, and noise barriers. Match the fence style and height accordingly. Also factor in local codes. Consult our fence experts to explore your options. We’ll help recommend the optimal fences for your home or business.

How do I know if my fence is on the property line?

Fences right on the property line are typically shared fences with neighboring lots. Check your plat map and property survey first. Shared boundary fences often cause disputes, so we recommend installing a few inches inside your line. Our team always verifies property lines before installing to ensure the fence is on your land.

Do you offer fence design services?

Absolutely! We provide a full fence design service to create your ideal fence layout and visualize the finished look. After an on-site meeting, our team generates a detailed plan including a property survey, 3D renderings, and list of materials needed. This helps inform decision making for style, gates,boundary lines, permits, and budgeting.

What safety precautions do your crews take during installation?

Safety is our top priority. Our crew wears high visibility vests, hard hats, gloves and protective eyewear at all times. We rope off and cone off the work zone, post safety signage, and supervise the area. We dig carefully around buried utilities and take measures to fence off and secure open trenches. Site cleanliness and trip hazard removal is maintained.
