Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions about fence types, planning and working with us.
Services
What type of fence is best for privacy?
A wood privacy fence is a common choice, and we install it. Vinyl is another option for solid privacy panels. We can talk through height, style and your yard before you decide.
What types of fence do you install?
We install wood privacy, picket, Kentucky horse board and split rail fence, along with vinyl, aluminum and ornamental, chain link, and farm fence. We also install pool fences and gates.
Do you install fence for businesses?
Yes. We do residential and commercial work, including chain link in galvanized or vinyl coated, aluminum, and wood fence.
Do you install pool fences?
Yes. We install aluminum and ornamental fence for pools. Pool fences often have their own local requirements, so check with your city before we plan the layout.
Do I need a permit or HOA approval for a new fence?
Often, yes. Cities and townships set their own rules on height and placement, and many HOAs require approval of style and color. Check with your city and HOA before you order, and we can help you plan around what they allow.
What is the difference between chain link options?
Galvanized chain link is bare metal with a zinc coating. Vinyl coated chain link adds a color coating over the galvanized wire. We install both.

Should someone be home during installation?
It helps. A customer once noted that having someone home to answer questions is useful when there are unusual factors, such as shrubs along the fence line or a mix of old and new fence.
