"Top notch! It was a complicated day. Many workers in a small area. Blake focused on getting a lovely wooden fence completed with many feet and trucks shuffling around a small area. He remained congenial and flexible with the whole crowd working. And the fence was complete with all the hardware I requested. I highly recommend him."

FAQs for projects in Scarborough, ME

A shadowbox fence arranges boards on alternating sides of the rails with small gaps between them, creating an identical appearance from both sides while allowing some airflow between the boards. Standard privacy fences place all boards on one side with no gaps, creating a solid barrier. The shadowbox design requires more lumber to achieve the alternating pattern, but provides the benefit of an attractive appearance for both the homeowner and neighbors.

Installation timelines depend on the length of your fence, site conditions, and weather factors. Professional fence contractors can complete standard residential projects efficiently, while DIY installations require more time, especially if you're learning the techniques or working alone. Factors like rocky soil, slope challenges, or the need for multiple gates can extend the timeline for any installation project.

Maintenance requirements vary by material choice. Pressure-treated lumber requires the most attention, needing to be stained or sealed every two to three years. Cedar and redwood need treatment every three to five years. Composite and vinyl options require minimal maintenance, with only occasional cleaning needed. All fence types benefit from periodic inspections to address any developing issues before they worsen.

Shadowbox fences perform well in windy conditions because their design allows some air to pass through the spaces between boards, reducing the overall wind pressure on the structure. This partial airflow makes them less susceptible to wind damage than solid privacy fences. For maximum stability in particularly windy locations, ensure posts are properly set according to recommended depths based on your fence height.
