Fencing Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best types of fences for privacy?
For maximum privacy, wooden privacy fences and vinyl fences are excellent choices. Wood fences offer a classic look and can be built to any height, while vinyl provides durability and low maintenance. We also offer custom designs to suit your specific privacy needs.
How long will my fence last?
The lifespan of a fence depends on the material used. Wood fences can last 15-20 years with proper maintenance, while vinyl fences can last over 30 years. Aluminum and steel fences are extremely durable and can last for decades with minimal upkeep.
What’s the difference between a wood and vinyl fence?
Wood fences offer a traditional look and can be customized to fit any style. However, they require regular maintenance, including staining and sealing. Vinyl fences, on the other hand, are low-maintenance, resistant to weather, and come in a variety of styles and colors. Vinyl tends to be more expensive initially, but it’s a cost-effective long-term option.
How do I know what type of fence is best for my property?
The ideal fence depends on your specific needs, property size, and aesthetic preferences. For privacy, a solid wood or vinyl fence works well. For security, chain link or ornamental iron fences are popular choices. Our team will assess your property and recommend the best fence based on your goals.
What factors affect the cost of a fence?
We provide detailed, transparent estimates so you know exactly what to expect. We can also scale projects up or down to fit your aesthetic needs and budget.
Material choice - wood quality and appearance can impact pricing - we have a number of options available.
Size - The taller the fence, the wider the picket, the greater the length - all these things can impact price. Makes sense, don’t it?
Existing fences - To demolish and dispose of an existing fence, there will be a fee (at cost for disposal).
How do I maintain my fence?
Fence maintenance varies by material:
Wood fences should be cleaned and treated with sealant every few years to prevent rot and discoloration.
Vinyl fences require minimal maintenance, mostly just cleaning with soap and water.
Metal fences should be inspected for rust, and touch-up paint may be needed for longevity.
Chain link fences can be maintained by keeping them clear of debris and inspecting for damage.
Do I need a permit to install a fence?
In the Denver Metro Area, a permit may be required to install a fence, especially for fences over 6’ or those in certain zoning areas (i.e. a front yard). We’re familiar with local regulations and can assist you through the permit process, ensuring that your fence complies with all necessary codes.
What’s the best way to prepare for fence installation?
Ensure that you have access to the installation site and that any boundary lines are clear. We will call 811 to have all underground utilities marked prior to starting the project.
What should I do if my fence is damaged?
If your fence is damaged, it’s best to contact a professional for an inspection. Whether it’s repairing a broken board, fixing gates, or addressing rust issues on a metal fence, we offer both repair services and replacement options to restore the safety and aesthetics of your property.
How do I choose the right fence?
The style of your fence depends on its purpose. Things like aesthetics, security, privacy or functionality may inform your decision. From split rail to chain link, the variations of fence types are endless and can fit any aesthetic desire. We’ll work with you to select the ideal style and material that aligns with your goals and local regulations.
