Frequently Asked Questions

Should I put my new fence on the property line?

Yes, if both neighbors are paying for the fence together, then if agreed upon by both parties the fence line may be put on the property line. The exception here would be if you were paying for the fence by yourself, then we recommend installing the fence on your side of the property line.

How do I find my property line?

Most of the time your property line can be found by locating your survey markers. They are usually a piece of rebar put in when your house was built or your property is surveyed. Sometimes they get buried in the ground or even removed. If you cannot find them, a surveyor may have to be hired, or you can check with your builder and your neighbors to see if they know the location of the survey markers.

What is the distance around my property?

We offer free estimates. We encourage you to let us come out to take exact measurements for you. In addition, here is a list that will give you a general idea of your property perimeter length (for square properties):
1/4 Acre ........... = 417 linear feet, 1/2 Acre ........... = 590 linear feet, 3/4 Acre ........... = 722 linear feet,
1 Acre .............. = 834 linear feet, 2 Acres ............ = 1,182 linear feet, 3 Acres ............ = 1,446 linear feet,
4 Acres ............ = 1,670 linear feet, 5 Acres ............ = 1,867 linear feet, 10 Acres........... = 2,640 linear feet
*These numbers are only for perfectly square properties. If your piece is rectangular or pie-shaped, it will lengthen your numbers.
Calculation Guide:  1/4 mile = 1,320 feet,  1/2 mile = 2,640 feet,  1 mile = 5,280 feet

Will a vinyl fence mildew?

Only under very consistently damp conditions will the possibility of mildew occur. If mildew does appear, a mild solution of bleach and water will easily remove it. 


Can I paint my vinyl fence?

One of the benefits of vinyl is that it never needs painted. We do not recommend painting vinyl fencing and it will actually void the manufacturer's warranty. However, we do offer multiple colors and style of vinyl to choose from. 

Aren't all vinyl fences the same?

No. Vinyl fence components are available in a wide range of sizes and thickness. To reduce costs, some manufacturers decrease their wall thickness, resulting in reduced strength and ultimately yielding inferior fence systems. We only use professional grade vinyl not available for purchase at local home improvement stores. 

What kind of care will my wood fence require?

We recommend applying a protective finish to the fence once it is installed. This helps to minimize the effects of weathering and to maximize the lifespan of your fence. Be sure sprinklers are not constantly spraying your fence. This will cause uneven discoloration. We recommend applying paint or stain every two years or as needed.

will you use screws or nails to install my wood fence?

Although it is a slower and more labor intensive process, we recommend using screws when installing a wood fence. Over time, nails have a tendency to pop out as the wood dries and shrinks. Screws eliminate this problem.

What are the advantages of an Aluminum Fence?

Aluminum fencing is known for being more maintenance free than other types of fences. An aluminum fence never needs to be painted because you can choose the color of your fence from day one. Another advantage is the many styles that you can select that will help in matching the theme of your home. Also, you have a choice in the quality of the aluminum. You can choose from more affordable residential quality up to the more expensive but endurable industrial grade.

What are the advantages of a wrought iron fence?

If you anticipate heavy usage and lots of wear and tear, then a wrought iron fence might be your best option. A wrought iron fence is known for taking on much more heavy usage and can last for many more years than traditional fencing. Another advantage of a wrought iron fence is that it has much more personality and style than other fences. These fences are often seen in historic districts.
