"The team was polite and professional. They arrived on time complete the project in two days which were two of the hottest days of the year. However, they neglected to install the quoted post caps, which I had to follow up on to get installed. Also, a number of the boards installed were significantly bent."

"The Fence Work team did an excellent job replacing two portions of our wood fence and creating a double gate on one side and a single gate on the other. It all went very well and we definately would hire them again."

"M&P Fencing was wonderful to work with from start to finish. I wanted a fence style that was a little different from a traditional picket fence. They paid attention to the smallest details to ensure I got the fence I wanted. The end result was a well-built, beautiful fence that exceeded my expectations."

"I had been having problems with both gate doors that were installed at my house since moving in. I called Edgar to take a look at them and he was able to figure out the issue immediately. He repaired both with such ease. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to install or repair a fence. He is fantastic!"

FAQs for projects in Durham, NC

No, installing a privacy fence isn't rude as long as you respect property boundaries and comply with local regulations. By building the fence entirely on your property and following zoning codes, you're creating a safe space without causing offense. Informing your neighbors before building your fence can also help maintain good relationships.

A privacy fence should be between six and eight feet tall to offer clear privacy and security. This height range provides an effective barrier that meets both design and safety standards. It gives your property a balanced appearance while protecting your space without encroaching on your neighbor's area. Be sure to check your local building codes, as regulations may limit the maximum allowable height.

A professional can install a privacy fence in about 20 to 30 hours, while doing it yourself might take 40 to 50 hours. Factors like obtaining permits, preparing the site, and leveling the ground can affect the installation time. Additional tasks like removing an old fence or dealing with uneven terrain may also extend the project duration.

Yes, horizontal fences are more expensive than vertical ones, but offer enhanced durability and a modern look. Their design often requires more materials and can result in a stronger structure with better resistance to weather conditions. If you're looking for superior longevity and a stylish appearance, the extra investment in a horizontal fence may be worthwhile.

Yes, hiring a land surveyor is important because it confirms your exact property boundaries. This step helps prevent costly encroachment issues and legal disputes by ensuring that your fence is built entirely on your property. An accurate survey guarantees compliance with local zoning laws, facilitates a smooth installation process, and helps maintain good relations with your neighbors.
