"I contracted Mr. Singleton to install wrought Iron rails on my front stoop. I was told he could install the rails later in the week. Three weeks later he arrived to install the rails. When he showed up he did not even notify me that he had arrived for the install and just started installing the rails. Had he notified me that he was at my home and ready to install the rails, I would have prevented the install upon seeing the quality of the rails. Instead, Mr Singleton installed misaligned, poorly welded, poorly painted rails. In addition to the poor quality of the rails, masonry and bricks on the stoop were damaged and broken. Excess anchoring cement/sealant was not cleaned up and was allowed set up on the bricks leaving an unsightly mess. Pictures attached show the bad welds with excess welding material and splattered welding material all over the work. There were gaps in welded joints, with no attempt the grind the welds to blend them into the rails. Painting was incomplete as there were areas with bare metal and exposed primer. Upon seeing the work, I called Mr. Singleton and told him the work was unacceptable and the rails needed to be completely removed and the masonry repaired. There was no way the rails could be realigned, welded, blended and painted to look the way they should. I paid him 1/2 by check up front and the rest after the job. Immediately after he left, I requested him to return after I inspected the completed job. He would not return and I had to cancel the second check. Mr Singleton said he would come back later in the week to resolve the issue. He was an absolute NO SHOW. Communication with Mr. Singleton is hit and miss. I Do Not Recommend Fusion Ironworks, LLC or Mr Singleton for installing wrought iron railings. Be warned, the quality of materials and craftsmanship is substandard!"

"Initial rep was great and informative. Felt comfortable with initial sale. Hardly had any contact from customer service except for the payments. There were several delays that we were not informed about unless we called to ask. Took 7 months before they showed up to begin project. Only 1 person was sent to build steps. Took a week. Hard worked, hardly took a break. Had to call again to see when they would come to pour patio. Never knew when they were coming, they just showed up. Hardly spoke with the homeowners. Inspection paperwork was just left on porch. Additional paperwork that is "required by the County" had to be completed by homeowner and taken to Court house to be notarized and filed and also provide a copy back to Long Fence. Time sensitive materials which added to homeowners to-do list. Gave this contract to LF on the surface of their history and appearance of a 'good local company' but should have stayed with original contactors in VA. Puddle of water forms when it rains"

To determine how much fencing you need, start by measuring the perimeter of the area you want to enclose. Divide that number by the standard post spacing (usually six to eight feet) to calculate the number of posts you'll need. For precise measurements and to account for any irregularities, consider hiring a professional land surveyor.
Wood fences last 15 to 20 years when built with quality materials and installed properly. Pine fences last 10 to 15 years, while composite walls offer 20 to 30 years of durability. The fence’s lifespan is influenced by wood quality, weather exposure, and regular maintenance, which preserves its strength and appearance.
To prolong the life of your wood fence, you need to inspect it at least once each year and act immediately on any signs of loose nails, rusting hinges, or rotting boards. Annual cleaning, followed by a fresh coat of paint or stain every two to three years, secures the fence’s durability and preserves its appearance in all weather.
Fence posts are typically placed four to eight feet apart. Check with your local code requirements to ensure the correct spacing, depth, and setting. The placement of your fence posts depends on the fence height and material. Generally speaking, it's better for the fence if your posts are closer together.
To avoid upheavals or other issues, bury your fence post so the depth exceeds the frost line, or about one-third to one-half of the aboveground height of your post. Check with your local code requirements to determine the right depth for your home since it varies by location.
If a fence borders your neighbor’s property, you must inform your neighbor in advance about the installation. You share the responsibility for repair and maintenance in such cases, so both parties are held accountable by local regulations. It is essential to confirm your local code requirements and documented agreements to avoid future disputes and ensure clear responsibilities.
