FAQ

Yes! We understand that every property is unique, and sometimes standard fencing options don’t fit your specific needs. Whether you want a modern horizontal wood fence, a decorative wrought iron entryway, or a mixed-material fence with stone columns, we can design a solution that enhances your home or business. Custom fencing allows you to personalize details like height, color, post caps, and gate features to ensure your fence is both functional and visually appealing.

The installation timeline depends on several factors, including fence material, project size, and ground conditions. For a standard residential fence, installation typically takes 2 to 5 days from start to finish. Larger projects, fences with intricate designs, or properties with rocky or sloped terrain may take longer. Weather conditions can also impact the timeline, as heavy rain or frozen ground may delay work. During our initial consultation, we’ll provide an estimated timeframe so you know what to expect.

Absolutely! We specialize in fence repairs for damages caused by weather, accidents, or general wear and tear. Common repairs include fixing leaning posts, replacing broken pickets or panels, repairing rusted chain-link sections, and reinforcing gates. If your fence is severely damaged or beyond repair, we can help with a full replacement, ensuring your new fence matches your property's aesthetics and security needs. Repairing a fence can extend its lifespan and save you money compared to a full replacement.

We proudly serve Clark and Cowlitz County, Washington, including cities such as Vancouver, Longview, Battle Ground, Ridgefield, Camas, Woodland, and surrounding areas. If you're located outside these areas but need our expertise, feel free to reach out, and we’ll let you know if we can accommodate your location.

Fence pricing varies based on multiple factors, including material choice, fence height, linear footage, and additional features like gates or decorative elements. Wood fences are often more affordable upfront but require ongoing maintenance, while vinyl and metal fences have higher initial costs but lower long-term upkeep. Custom designs or challenging terrain can also affect pricing. We provide free, detailed estimates so you understand all costs involved before making a decision.

The level of maintenance depends on the material you choose:

• Wood fences need staining or sealing every few years to prevent rot, warping, and insect damage. Occasional cleaning with a hose or pressure washer can help maintain its appearance.

• Vinyl fences are virtually maintenance-free but benefit from periodic washing with soap and water to remove dirt and mildew.

• Chain-link fences require minimal upkeep, but rust-prone areas should be checked regularly, especially in humid climates.

• Ornamental iron and aluminum fences are highly durable but may need rust prevention treatments if scratches or damage occur.

We can provide care recommendations based on your specific fence to ensure it stays in great condition for years.

In many cases, a permit is required, particularly for taller fences, fences near property lines, or those affecting traffic visibility. Regulations vary by city and county, so we always advise checking with your local building department. We can assist in determining permit requirements and help you navigate the approval process if needed.

Yes, we have extensive experience installing fences on hills, slopes, and uneven terrain. We use specialized techniques such as:

• Stepped fencing, where each panel is placed at a consistent height difference, creating a staircase effect.

• Racked fencing, where the fence follows the natural slope of the land, ensuring an even and secure fit.

Both methods provide structural integrity and an attractive appearance while maintaining the effectiveness of your fence.

While we do not directly provide staining or painting services, we can recommend trusted professionals in the area. Staining or painting a wood fence helps protect it from sun damage, moisture, and pests while enhancing its appearance. If you're interested in protecting or changing the color of your wood fence, we can guide you on the best products to use.

Before we begin installation, there are a few steps to prepare:

• Check property boundaries: It’s crucial to ensure that the fence is installed within your property lines. If you're uncertain, a land survey may be necessary.

• Talk to neighbors: If the fence will be on or near a shared property line, it’s a good idea to discuss plans with neighbors.

• Call 811 for utility marking: We need to ensure there are no underground utility lines in the fence installation area. This free service helps prevent damage to water, gas, and electrical lines.

• Remove obstacles: Clearing away large rocks, debris, or overgrown vegetation can help speed up the installation process.
