Fence & Deck Installation FAQs

How long does it take to install a fence or deck?

Most fence installations take 1-3 days, while decks can take 3-7 days depending on size and complexity. Weather, material availability, and custom features may impact the timeline.

Do I need a permit for my fence or deck?

Permits are often required for deck construction and for fences exceeding a certain height. We handle the permit process and ensure all work complies with local regulations.

What is the best time of year to install a fence or deck?

Spring through fall are the best seasons for installation, as weather conditions are ideal. However, we install year-round as long as the ground isn’t deeply frozen.

Can you build on uneven or sloped ground?

Yes, we customize designs to fit sloped or uneven terrain. We use leveling techniques and proper support to ensure stability and durability.

Do you offer custom fence and deck designs?

Yes, we provide fully customized designs tailored to your space, style, and functional needs. Our team works with you to create a design that enhances your property.

Materials & Maintenance

How do I maintain my wood fence or deck?

Vinyl and metal fences require minimal maintenance and are highly durable. Pressure-treated wood is also a strong option but requires staining or sealing over time.

Is interlock better than concrete?

Wood should be sealed or stained every 2-3 years to protect against moisture and UV damage. Regular cleaning and minor repairs help extend its lifespan.

Is composite decking better than wood?

Composite decking is low-maintenance, resistant to rot and fading, and lasts longer than traditional wood. However, wood offers a natural look and lower initial cost.

Will my fence or deck change color over time?

Wood naturally fades or grays over time, especially if untreated. Composite and vinyl materials are designed to resist fading and maintain their color longer.

How do I clean my fence or deck?

Use a mild soap and water solution or a pressure washer on a low setting to remove dirt and mildew. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the surface.

Pricing & Warranty

How much does a fence or deck installation cost?

Pricing depends on the material, size, and complexity of the design. We provide free estimates to give you an accurate cost based on your specific project.

Is there a warranty on my fence or deck?

We provide warranties covering materials and craftsmanship. The length and coverage vary based on the materials used, with most warranties lasting 1-5 years.

What happens if my fence or deck needs repairs?

We offer repair services for damages due to wear and tear, weather, or accidents. If your project is under warranty, we will assess and fix the issue accordingly.

Do you match competitor pricing?

We provide competitive pricing while ensuring high-quality materials and craftsmanship. If you receive a lower quote, we are happy to review it and discuss your options.
