"They are extremely efficient and reliable. They've done about 5 different jobs for me and I've been very satisfied with their work. They've painted a powder room and installed a vanity, light and mirror in it, they've installed in-line water filters, and there even put in an area of hardwood flooring. They are fast and friendly, I would definitely recommend them and rely on them for my handyman needs."

"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."

"We recently moved into our home and found that the heat tape around pipes in our crawl space were old and did not look safe. John came out to give us an estimate quick and gave us a good price. We went with him and he completed the job in just a few hours. He even told us the outlet it was plugged into looked bad and installed a new outlet for free. John is a reliable guy and a good worker. I have recommended him to family."

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.
