Recent Dog Fencing Reviews in Harrisburg
- Freedom Fence and Deck IncMy husband was impressed with them. It went well. We are thinking of giving them a job. We are going to meet with them next Saturday. They quoted $2400-$2900. The guy has been doing this work for 23 years. He seemed really knowledgeable. He seemed like he knew what he was doing. My husband is confident that he would do a good job
- Prizm Vinyl CorpWe moved here from out of state, and didn't know anyone who could recommend a reputable company to complete fence installation at our new home. Ed Shapiro, with Prizm Vinyl, was one of the five we chose to do a quote. He was very knowledgeable and professional; In addition to completing the estimate, he also offered information about the new area. We received the quote the next day and were amazed with the value of the fence and price to install versus the other companies. After selecting Prizm for our fence installation, Ed called to let us know all the details. Rob, the crew foreman, was very experienced and professional. Our vinyl picket fence was able to be completely installed to code within four and a half hours. It has been twenty-three days since the installation and our fence is fantastic! Prizm Vinyl did an amazing job from start to finish and we would recommend them to anyone. They have been a real blessing to us in our new home
- Invisible Fence of Southern Pa.I could not be happier with the job Craig Heller did for us. Craig installed their newest technology called Boundary Plus around the perimeter of our yard which is superior to traditional underground fences. Our “infinite fence” currently is set for twenty seconds of correction if our Brittany tries to leave the yard. When setting up the initial correction for our dog she did test it once and ran out of our yard. A phone call to Craig showed me he is far more that just making a sale and was out to make the proper adjustment that same day. Another feature I like about Boundary Plus is if your pet was to break the correction boundary it can return into your yard without getting corrected again. Our Brittany now plays in the yard and knows the boundaries. I would highly recommend Craig Heller of Invisible Fence of Southern Pa
- Dogwatch of Susquenanna Valley IncMy experience with DogWatch of Susquehanna Valley was truly a joy! What a wonderful company. They arrived on time every time and answered all of my questions. Bob and Lynne continue to service our needs even after the fence was installed. Thanks to DogWatch we enjoy more quality time with our dog.
- Dog Guard of Southeastern PAThey gave and estimate for a 3/4 acre lot with two dogs. A few days later we had them out to do the installation and train the dogs. It was a very easy company to work with from start to finish. I would recommend to my friends and family.
- R&S Fence CoR and S Fencing is a wonderful company. Jason came out to do an estimate on our home that we just purchased to install a 6 foot privacy fence and worked with us on several different options until we found one that was perfect for us. He understood the importance to us of having the fence installed immediately after we purchased the home because we had dogs that we wanted to keep secure and for them to have a place to run. His crew showed up right after we moved in and worked incredibly hard to get the work done in three days. They did a great job!! We even ran into an issue that we found out about while they were installing the fence where a small part of the fence may have to come down temporarily due to some construction work that is being done by the township and they arranged to be able to come back and help us with that if that happens. Everyone was so professional and caring. They do very good work and we would highly recommend them to everyone
- ELLIS WILDLIFE PEST CONTROLIt was the first time I had used them. They got rid of the animal really quick and prevented them from coming back.
- Michaels FencingI found Michael's Fencing through a Google search. I liked what I saw on his website and called him for an estimate. Upon meeting Michael, my husband and I instantly liked him...he was professional, punctual, listened to what we were looking for, and then made suggestions as to what he felt would be the best option. We originally were planning on doing a wood fence simply because we didn't want to spend $15k+ on a vinyl fence. When we met Michael, all that changed. His quote for vinyl was approx. $1,500 more then what we were quoted on a wood fence from another Co. His quote made it pretty much a no brainer for us! The actual project took much longer then anticipated to complete, but not all due to Michael. We 1st had an issue w/ our permit. Michael was very helpful and worked w/ us to come up w/ a plan that ultimately was approved by our local borough office so we could obtain our permit. Then there was Hurricane Irene, followed by Tropical Storm Lee. Bottom line is we are very happy w/ our fence. He does quality work and installs a quality product (Country Estate Fence, Deck and Railing). And I don't think you'll get a better price from another Co. then what you'll be quoted from Michael. He's professional, was always friendly, worked fast and hard, and usually responded to our questions fairly quickly. I would not hesitate recommending him to any of our family or friends
- Dog Guard KDH ServicesHe graciously offered to test my old fence and then he repaired the broken spots. He could have told me it was shot and sold me a new system, I never would have known that the old one still worked! He saved me a lot of money! He was very polite and friendly and on time. Excellent service all around!
- YEAGER'S FENCEWe wanted a fence installed after we moved here for our doberman. Called Yeager's Fence to fix a fence job that had been started and needed to be taken down. (We fired the last person). Nick came out went over in detail what we wanted done and when he would be able to do the job. He answered all my questions I had. Him and his crew actually started the job a day early. He asked me several times to check what they were doing to make sure it was the way I wanted it. (which it was). Every one was professional, courteous and always on time. I am very happy with our fence! The fence and the gates look great. You can look at the fence and know it was done by someone that not only knows what they are doing, but that takes pride in their work. I would hire Yeager's again, and I would highly recommend them to others

in animal removal business since 1986 ( wildl animals trapping bats, skunks, raccoons ,ground hogs etc. )
"We had several ground hogs within our yard that were near our pool area and causing some damage to wood deck and holes near pool. I called Mike who was near our area and he immediately responded with some cages and caught the mom on the first day. When he picked up the larger one, he placed additional cages near the hole. The smaller ones were all caught together on the third day. Mike was very responsive, always calling me back promptly and he seemed to have a genuine interest in the humane treatment of the animals. We would definitely recommend his services for all types of animal removal.

"Prizm installed an aluminum fence around my backyard with 2 arched gates. They use high quality materials and did a great job on the installation. My only issue was that no one showed up the first day they were supposed to come do the work and no one called. I had stayed home and was a little annoyed. When I called the owner, he hadn't realized no one showed because his installer had car trouble, but hadn't called him. The installer was able to get out the next day and everything went smoothly from that point on.
<br /> The owner was really responsive and I really enjoyed working with him. I had sent my initial inquiry via email very late on a Saturday night and he responded right away Sunday morning. I was impressed and even more once the job was done. They did really great work and I was completely satisfied. I would highly recommend them.

"Hire these guys! Nick and his crew are fantastic. We have two big dogs, one of which can jump pretty high, and we needed to install a fence shortly after closing on our new house. The terrain around the property is very difficult as the lot pretty much sits on top of a limestone deposit. Working with a crew of 3 men over four days, Nick dug all of the post holes and hand-built the fence on rocky, uneven ground. I think there was only one level spot in the entire yard! The guys said that this was one of the nicest fences they've ever built, and one of the toughest jobs. The estimate seemed spot on for the amount of work and specifications that I was looking for. After speaking with others who have had fences built recently, they paid as much, if not more, for fencing that wasn't as nice and on easier ground to work with. Nick will work with you to get to a price that fits with your budget and design that you were hoping for. He was quick to return emails, showed up on time for the estimate, and spent an hour walking the property and talking things through with me. He will be back in a few weeks to stain the fence and I can't wait to see it all finished. I am very impressed and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company to anyone who would like quality work for a fair price.

"Chad was a bit slow on the response initially, but with all the snow we had, it was understandable, just a bit of a hiccup at the beginning. Once he got started, he worked some long days getting all the misc things completed. Even made several trips back to the box store for items I picked up but were wrong. I added a couple of things to his list after he started and he worked them in without a problem.
<br /> Next phase will be a bigger bite but waiting until the weather warms up as the house will be open during that time. I will continue to use Chad a lot going forward.

Fencing FAQ
-
How much does it cost to install a fence?
Answer: The average cost to install a fence is $2,600. A variety of factors will impact the overall cost of fencing installation, such as the length of the fence, the materials you choose, and local labor costs. Fencing projects using the lowest cost materials and with lower labor costs can cost as little as $1 to $6 per linear foot, while projects using the highest cost materials and with higher labor costs may be as high as $15 to $45.
-
Do I need a permit to build a fence around a yard?
Answer: Whether you’ll need a permit to build a fence around your yard will depend on your city or county's local codes. Many metropolitan and suburban areas require a permit to install most fencing, but they may not for fences situated behind a house as opposed to in front of it or fences that don’t run within a certain distance of the road. To find out if you’ll need a permit to fence your yard, reach out directly to your local government office.
-
What is the cheapest fence to install?
Answer: The cheapest fencing to install is chain-link fencing. Chain-link fencing is typically cheaper than other fence types because the materials cost less, and installation is generally quicker and easier than other options. Chain-link fencing is affordable, easy to install, and low maintenance. However, it’s usually considered less secure than other options and doesn’t increase resale value as much as fences made of different materials.
-
Is a wood or vinyl fence cheaper?
Answer: Wood fences are generally cheaper than the cost of vinyl fences. While the cost of materials for wood and vinyl fences is usually very similar, the labor cost associated with installing a vinyl fence is higher. Wood fencing is also easier to install than vinyl fencing, making it possible to save money by making wood fence installation a DIY project. It’s also possible to DIY install a vinyl fence.
-
What is the life expectancy of a vinyl fence?
Answer: Vinyl fencing can be expected to last between 10 and 30 years. Vinyl fencing is generally low maintenance, but proper care will ensure it lasts as long as possible. Its long life span and high return on investment make vinyl fencing a popular option for many homeowners.
-
What type of fence adds to the property value?
Answer: Installing quality fencing, no matter the fence type, will generally add value to your property. In general, fences made of longer-lasting, lower-maintenance, and more attractive materials—like wrought-iron, composite, or vinyl—add more value to a property than fences made of lower-cost or less attractive materials, like chain-link. To ensure your fencing adds as much value to your home as possible, be sure it’s properly permitted, approved by your homeowners association (if you have one), and installed properly.
