"We had such a great experience with M.C. Fence & Deck, LLC when they built our wood fence. From the first conversation to the final nail, everything stayed smooth and stress-free. Hunter showed up on time, walked us through the whole plan, and kept things clear at every step. The wood they used looked strong and fresh, and the layout matched exactly what we asked for. Hunter worked hard the whole time, stayed respectful of our property, and cleaned up after the job without needing a reminder. He made sure the lines were straight and the gate swung perfectly. I could tell he took pride in the job. It’s rare these days to find folks who follow through with their word, show up when they say they will, and leave your space even cleaner than they found it. Hunter and the team checked all those boxes. The fence added a solid touch of charm and privacy to our yard. Our dogs are happy, and so are we. I’d gladly recommend M.C. Fence & Deck, LLC to anyone needing reliable, neat, and friendly"

Here at A-1Fencing, our name says it all. A-1 because we strive to be the very best deck and fence contractor and constantly focus on perfection in every job we complete. We don't stop until our customers are 100 percent satisfied with the service we provide
"A-1 fencing did a great job with my fence and deck. When we requested an estimate with A-1, they came right on time (actually came earlier because they were already in the area) and listened patiently to everything we wanted to get done. They took care of the city permit for our deck and fence while we took care of the HOA permit, which made it very easy for us since we only had to manage one of the permits. Cesar and the team at A-1 was very responsive to my emails, texts, and calls which I really appreciated. When building the actual fencing and decking, the workers were really polite and meticulous. Our house overlooks a pretty steep cliff and our door leading to the deck is very high, so I applaud them for being able to create something so beautiful for us given the conditions they were facing. Throughout the process, Cesar updated me on the timeline of everything and anytime I had a question, I could always call him and have my questions answered. The team at A-1 did an amazing job and I for sure would recommend them to my friends and relatives and anyone searching online."

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.
