"Tony and his team did an amazing job staining our very large, never-been-treated wooden deck! Despite a packed summer schedule, he agreed to fit me in so the deck could be ready for family visitors.

Installing a fence for a standard residential project takes two to four days. This timeline includes obtaining permits, preparing terrain, and coordinating labor and materials. A 150‑linear foot installation focuses on proper alignment and secure post placement. Factors such as your fence height, ground slope, and material type can add time to ensure a safe and durable structure.
Wood panels, steel, aluminum, and vinyl fences are some of the easiest to install, thanks to their pre-made sections and simple assembly. The process is fairly straightforward, with clear instructions and minimal customization, especially on flat, prepared ground. Choosing one of these options can make setting up a fence quick and hassle-free.
A fence’s lifespan depends on its material. Vinyl fences typically last 20 to 30 years, while aluminum can endure up to 50 years. Wood fences last about five to 10 years with proper care, and wrought iron can remain strong for generations with regular upkeep. Chain-link and barbed wire fences tend to corrode faster, reducing their durability. No matter the material, routing maintenance helps extend a fence’s lifespan.
You’re not legally required to notify your neighbors before building a fence, but it’s a good idea to do so. Clear communication helps maintain good relationships and can help prevent disputes down the line. To avoid any issues, verify your property boundaries with an official survey and ensure the fence stays within your property lines.
The ideal fence height depends on its purpose. Standard privacy fences are six to eight feet tall to block views and add security, while decorative front yard fences are around three feet. Livestock fences range from three to six feet, depending on the animals they enclose. Always check local building codes to ensure compliance.
