  • How Much Does a Privacy Fence Cost?
    The cost of a privacy fence varies depending on the material, size, and complexity of the installation. Wood fences are generally the most affordable option, but they require more maintenance over time. Vinyl is more expensive initially but is cost-effective in the long run due to its durability and low maintenance requirements.
  • How Tall Can My Privacy Fence Be?
    Fence height regulations vary by location. Most residential privacy fences are between 6 to 8 feet tall. It’s important to check with your local municipality or homeowners' association for any height restrictions before installing your fence.
  • Do I Need a Permit to Install a Privacy Fence?
    In many cases, a permit is required to install a fence. The requirements can vary by city and county, so it's crucial to check with your local building department to understand the necessary steps and to ensure you comply with all regulations.
  • How Long Does a Privacy Fence Last?
    The lifespan of a privacy fence depends on the material and maintenance. A well-maintained wood fence can last up to 20 years, while vinyl and composite materials can last even longer with proper care.
  • How Do Privacy Fences Handle Wind and Weather?
    Privacy fences can act as windbreaks, but they must be properly installed and reinforced to withstand high winds and severe weather. Using sturdy posts and ensuring there are no gaps between the ground and the bottom of the fence can help mitigate wind pressure.
  • Will a Privacy Fence Increase My Property Value?
    A well-designed and properly installed privacy fence can increase your property value by enhancing the aesthetic appeal, security, and privacy of your home. It’s considered a desirable feature by many homebuyers.
  • How Long Does Fence Staining Take?
    Each job will take a different amount of time to complete: It takes two days to clean and stain a fence if it needs to be cleaned. In the case of new fences that don't need to be cleaned, the process takes one day. It takes three to five hours to complete each step.
  • What Type of Stain Do You Use?
    We exclusively use quality oil-based stains.
  • Is Your Stain Sprayed, Brushed, or Rolled On?
    To protect our customers' homes from overspray and damage, we spray, brush, and roll on our stain.
  • How Do I Choose The Right Stain Color For My Fence?
    Choosing a stain color depends on the look you want to achieve and the style of your home. If you prefer a natural look, clear or semi-transparent stains that showcase the wood grain would be ideal. For a bold statement, consider solid stains that offer vibrant colors.
  • Can I Stain An Old Fence, Or Should It Be New?
    While staining a new fence is ideal as it provides immediate protection, you can certainly stain an old fence too. It just requires a little more preparation like cleaning, stripping old paint, and making any necessary repairs.
