"I had a great experience from beginning to end. The ease of planning virtually with detailed drawings made me skeptical they could deliver on budget. I was happily surprised and am finally enjoying a quality cedar fence! Thank you especially to Hector!"

"From the estimate that I was given, when it will be finished in June it will be a thing of beauty. I love picket fences myself. Cedar is a great way to go too!"

"Julio and his team were prompt and efficient while working on this fence project. He answered all my questions and concerns and came in with a very reasonable quote compared to every other contractor. Would definitely recommend his team for your basic fencing needs."

"Rafael was great. He came out the next day and measured the fence distance and gave a quote on the spot. I tried to get quotes from other businesses, but they either dragged their feet on a quote or required a large up front deposit (RT Total Lawn Care only required payment upon completion). The fence looks great and is exactly what we wanted. My wife and I couldn't be any happier!"

"You expect a handyman to quote a job and charge to the quote with out add one; you expect a professional job done in a timely manner. Ean of Emery Builders does exactly that. Not just my deck but also he built an 8 X 10 foot shed in ONE day! Painted the entire house and my fence. All to quote! I have had many compliments on all the jobs. I would recommend Ean to anyone. Believe me not all handymen are equal."

"We have hired them twice, for trimming and pruning everything on our property, including a stand of 12 tall arborvitae, a large ground cover area, and several fast-growing evergreen trees. Their work was excellent and affordable, and they showed up on time and worked hard. We are very pleased with the results, and we will use them again."

"Did a great job of replacing parts of my wooden fence and some much needed yard clean up. Very pleasant to work with."
Financial responsibility depends on where the fence sits. If it’s clearly inside your lot, you foot the bill. When it’s right on the property line, state laws—California and Illinois are two examples—usually require both neighbors to split repair costs equally unless you agree otherwise. Check your local rules before scheduling work so you know exactly what you’re on the hook for.
Start by walking the fence line and noting every issue—loose boards, leaning posts, cracked panels. Next, gather at least three quotes from licensed contractors, comparing experience, warranties, and costs. Once you pick a pro, they’ll secure materials, reset posts, and fix or replace damaged sections. A thorough inspection and a qualified contractor keep the fence safe and extend its life.
Straightening a leaning fence costs an average of $200 to $400. A fencing pro will assess the damage, reset or replace the posts, and realign the panels so the fence stands upright again. Fixing the lean early on prevents further strain on framing and keeps the structure both sturdy and attractive.
