"This contractor's two day assessment of the work turned into almost three weeks. His detail work was messy. I would suggest that you ask him about his previous experience before having him do any building of decks, roofs etc.."

Atwood Home Builders was started in 1961 by Marvin “Bunker” Stein and has been proudly serving the residents of Pittsburgh for over fifty years. Since 1961, we have been replacing roofs, windows, siding and gutters, as well as installing concrete patios and driveways for the valued members of our community including teachers, nurses, doctors, city workers, churches and more. We enjoy working, living and raising our families in Pittsburgh and we care about our customers. At Atwood Home Builders, we have spent the last fifty years establishing a solid reputation as a company you can trust. Today, we are proud to be able to say that most of our new business is referred to us by past or existing customers. Family owned & operated.
"They installed a new roof, gutters, and downspouts for my house in late summer 2024. The quality was poor -- they had to return to fix their gutters as they were leaking. Now, the flashing is coming off and they are refusing to repair their sloppy work. The work did not even last one year, which is unacceptable. I'm concerned that as time goes by it will get even worse. They do not respond and do not seem to care. I cannot recommend this company."

Electric fences need a constant power source, can injure people or animals if installed incorrectly, and require consistent training. Some animals, such as sheep and goats, take more coaching than cattle. Severe weather or outages can also knock the system offline, so keep a backup plan ready for containing your animals.
An electric fence lasts 20 years or more. Livestock learn to avoid the shock quickly, but harsh weather, predator activity, and falling behind on maintenance can all shorten that lifespan. Inspect the posts, wires, and chargers regularly and promptly address any necessary repairs to keep your fence in optimal condition.
Yes—if you need a quick, budget-friendly barrier, an electric fence is often worth the investment. Electric fences use fewer materials than wood or chain link, go up faster, and are easy to expand. Just remember: the system depends on steady power and regular checks, so factor those ongoing costs into your decision.
Electric fences require power to operate and depend on a constant electrical supply for proper function. They are powered by either a battery or an electrical outlet. A stable power source is essential because weather extremes or outages can interrupt the operation of the fence, making regular testing and maintenance vital to ensure continuous containment.
Electric fences use a defined amount of power, drawing between four and 25 watts from a standard electrical source. This low power consumption makes the system extremely energy efficient, with operating costs remaining below $5 per month for an average-sized yard. The efficient usage ensures that the fence delivers a reliable shock without imposing high energy expenses.
