We are a full service property maintenance company. In addition we complete demos and complete remodels/builds as well.
"The work was top-notch, but their internal and customer-facing communication is weak. 90% of the job was as expected, but the last two items (shower doors) were installed without us approving the particular door. The owner will say they were approved, but that's not the case. One door we never saw pictures of at all, and for the other we got two cellphone pics of a computer screen saying "this is what we typically install." A month later that ultra-modern looking door was on the wall in my old farmhouse. Complaints on my part were met with threats and bullying until I paid the full balance. I finally decided it was worth missing out on the shower door to get rid of the guy. In the process of the job, I got emails from one person in the company about things that had already been decided by someone else, so it was obvious that the internal communication was weak as well. Glad I can be rid of this company. Too bad because the people they hired to do the actual work at the house were wonderful."

Livestock and Equine fence design and installation. I started building high tensile fence in the early 1990's when we took over the area as a Gallagher dealer. I have since learned a lot about what works and what doesn't, what is good quality and what is junk. When Gallagher discontinued insultimber I searched for a replacement. The replacement I found was the PasturePro composite post. I now use CCA treated posts for corner and end braces, as well as anywhere there is a dip/rise/bend in the fence. Everywhere else I use the PasturePro posts.

Yes, invisible fences can function effectively on properties with slopes when properly installed. The key consideration is maintaining consistent signal strength throughout elevation changes. Professional installers can adjust installation depth and transmitter settings to accommodate terrain variations. Special installation techniques may be required to ensure reliable boundary enforcement and pet safety for particularly steep slopes or challenging soil conditions.
Most invisible fence wire repairs cost between $100 and $300, depending on the specific issue. Common repair needs include fixing broken boundary wires, replacing malfunctioning transmitters, or addressing collar receiver problems. Battery replacements represent the most frequent maintenance expense, typically costing between $10 and $50, depending on your system model. Professional diagnosis and repair services help ensure your system returns to full functionality quickly.
Many pet owners find that invisible fencing provides good value compared to conventional fencing options. These systems cost less than physical barriers while preserving property aesthetics and views. Invisible fences also allow flexibility for irregularly shaped properties and can work in areas where physical fencing might be restricted. The effectiveness depends partly on your pet's temperament and consistent training, so consider your specific animal's behavior when evaluating this containment option.
With proper maintenance, most invisible fence systems provide reliable service for several years before requiring significant upgrades. Regular battery replacements and occasional system checks help extend equipment lifespan. Individual components like transmitters or collar receivers can be replaced as needed without reinstalling the entire system. Environmental factors such as soil conditions and climate can affect underground wire longevity, while proper surge protection helps prevent premature system failure.
Regular maintenance expenses include periodic replacement of collar batteries, which cost between $10 and $50, depending on your specific system. Boundary wire repairs might be necessary if landscaping activities or ground shifting cause damage, with repair costs ranging from $100 to $300. System checks are recommended seasonally, especially after extreme weather events. Some owners also invest in backup power solutions or surge protection to prevent system interruptions during power outages.
