  • Do I need a fence permit to install a fence?

    It all depends on where the house is located.  Some cities require a fence permit with a drawing of the layout of the fence.


    Some cities don't require a permit but they do have their rules on how and where a fence can be installed.


    Anytime a city requires a permit they will require an inspection once the fence is installed.


     We handle obtaining fence permits for our customers and provide you info on what is and what's not allowed.



  • Which type of stains are best for wood fences?

    Exterior wood stains typically come as follows:

    • clear
    • transparent (you can have a hint of color)
    • semi-transparent
    • solid color

    Stain and sealers help prolong the life of fences by keeping the sun's UV rays from damaging the wood.  Between the UV rays, rain, hail, and snow, fences will slowly start to weather and turn brown or black.


    Eventually they dry out enough where they may start to crack and eventually fall apart.


    Clear stains don't add any color to the fence and their primary funtion is to keep water from pentrating the wood.


    Transparent stains may actually have a hint of color so you get protection and nice looks.  These allow the grain of wood to show.


    Semi-transparents provide more protection than the previous two because the stain itself has some solid particles that allow for more protection.


    Solid color stains provide the maximum protection and tend to last longer than ther other types of stains.  


    The more solid the stain, the less you will have to re-apply over the years.




  • When can you stain a brand new fence?

    A brand new pressure treated fence must dry out for about 60 days before it can be stained.  The reason being is that the wood has been treated with preservatives to keep water or any other liquid from penetrating.  If you do stain a brand new pressure treated fence, the stain will likely peel quickly.


    A brand new cedar or kiln dried wood fence can be stained or sealed immediately.  These materials have no preservatives or have dried out long enough that staining them won't be an issue.


  • How long does it take it take to install a fence?

    It all depends if the old fence has to be removed and how long the new fence will be.


    A standard 6ft privacy fence 200ft long will take about 4-5 days to complete. This includes removing the existing fence.
