"Straight Forward was one of the many fencing companies that my boyfriend and I had come out to give us an estimate when we were looking to get a new fence. Our whole experience with Straight Forward was remarkable, from start to finish. The owner, Gary was so personal, in comparison to the other companies we had come out. Before we even received a quote back, we knew we wanted to hire his company, regardless of the price (which ended up being very reasonable and awesome anyways). It seemed that he knew what he was doing and he was even informative to us And let us know the process of what his crew would be doing. Once the polite and respectful workers began to work, they were done within less than two days. Keep in mind how impressive this is due to the fact that we had two gates installed, a front fence on both sides of our house, and the remaining perimeter of our decent sized backyard. Once the fence was finished being installed, the workers had cleaned up all of the trash and it was like they had never been there! Except for the fact that we now have a beautiful, new fence to adore. We would hire Straight Forward again in a heart beat and would recommend them to anyone looking for a job well done!"

"Montco was one of 3 fence installers we had out to give an estimate on installing a vinyl privacy fence in our yard. Bill (the owner, I believe) came and one of the first things he said was that we should just do wire along the back of the yard instead of vinyl since there is already a wall of evergreen trees there. It would save us a big chunk of money (probably about 2K) and also make the yard feel less boxed in. He was the only one of the 3 contractors to suggest this and it made us feel like he actually cared. He listened to our concerns about keeping the fence as low as possible to keep the dogs in and was the only contractor who seemed fully confident in his ability to get the fence installed on a sizable incline without stepping the panels."

"They were really fantastic. Super professional, and friendly. They are a company who takes their customer service very seriously. When Nick found the issue with the liner, he made sure I had every opportunity to see what he was seeing, and make sure I was comfortable with the repairs he was recommending. He was easy to work with, very accommodating on payment terms and I would definitely recommend them and use them again. I feel very happy to have found them!"

I called and set up an appointment early June and the Rep (Ray) was right on time.  He provided me with the estimate and all the information I needed to make a decision.  The fencing was a privacy fence and the panels were 6' x6' so 10 panels were needed and 11 post.  He explained that they use a high grade cement which is mixed and poured not the quick set type.  This fence was not the normal vinyl fence it was a 3 dimensional look of stone and finished the same on both sides so neighbor got the same look as we did.  The fence was more expensive than a plain vinyl fence but we wanted something different and this was it.  You can see it at their website or at the Simtek (manufacturer of the fence) web site.

The work was scheduled for 7/12 and the team showed up at 8am as promised.  the 2 guys went right to work, Steve was the leader and was very good in explaining everything they would be doing.  They had on of those scopes on a tripod to assure the fence would be level on top.  There was a 4 inch difference from one end of the run to the other.  We decided to keep the fence level on top and we would fill the gap along the bottom with dirt and mulch to make the bottom of the fence appear even to the ground.  They spent the next 4 hours installing the fence and did a great job.  The fence looked beautiful and the cleaned up all leftover debris and leveled the ground with the dirt from the holes that were dug for the post.  A great job and we couldn't be happier. We have already rec'd a lot of rave reviews from everyone who has seen the new fence.

FAQs for projects in Philadelphia, PA

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.
