Rick is not only knowledgeable, friendly and professional but has the experience and skills to get the job done. There were several things in which he went the extra mile to make sure the end result was visually pleasing. Great communication from beginning to end. I liked that I was kept informed of the progress, since I had asked him to do so many various jobs. I highly recommend Rick for your home improvement or repair needs. I will definitely contact him again when needed."

Frequently asked questions
- Budget: Your budget is central in influencing which fence you buy. Figure out your spending limit and determine your budget per linear foot, as fencing costs can quickly add up.
- Durability: Consider strength, lifespan, resistance to pests, rot and fungus, rust, and the material’s ability to withstand local weather conditions.
- Maintenance: Maintenance, cleaning and repairs should be simple and minimal.
- Purpose: The style of fence you choose should be suitable for its intended purpose.
- Installation: Find out what installation requirements, such as foundations or supports, are necessary. Research if DIY is possible or if professional installation is your only option.
- Wood fence styles range from traditional to contemporary and from purely functional to attractive and decorative.
- Lattice fences are affordable and decorative. You can use them as privacy fences by growing dense foliage over them.
- Vertical board fences are the most common type of residential fence. There are budget-friendly options available as well as higher-end panels. Vertical board fences are affordable choices for basic privacy and security fences.
- Picket fences conjure up cozy images of traditional properties with carefully tended lawns. They’re good for demarcating a property boundary but don’t provide much security.
- Post-and-rail fences are a solid choice for making a boundary over a large area, as material use is minimal. However, they don’t provide any security or privacy.
- Metal fences are generally stronger and more secure than other materials. You can choose from highly ornate and secure metalwork or simple but functional wire. For the higher-end options, which are often costly, homeowners often reduce costs per square foot by combining the metal with brick.
- Aluminum fencing is an attractive, more affordable alternative to wrought iron. Although it has a similar appearance, it’s not as strong as wrought iron.
- Steel fencing is a strong, long-lasting fencing option that’s good for creating a secure barrier around your home.
- Vinyl fencing made from PVC comes in a range of styles, including those that mimic real wood.
- Composite fencing is an amalgamation of wood fibers, pulp or sawdust and ground plastic particles that are bonded and held together by an acrylic resin. It looks and feels like real wood and is an environmentally friendly choice, as it usually contains a high percentage of recycled materials.
- Wire fences are not made to enhance the aesthetics of your property, although some homeowners opt for black fencing to help boost aesthetics. They are inexpensive, purely functional products suitable for DIY or professional installation.
- Barbed wire fencing isn’t common in residential settings. While it’s an inexpensive, fierce and intimidating security deterrent, it isn’t attractive and will not add value to your home.

There was a wooden fence inside the chain link fence along the back property line but it was rotted so we took it down. We recently had landscaping done that will, eventually, grow to provide the privacy screen along that boundary. In the meantime we'd like to attach some sort of wooden privacy fence to the chain link - in other words, we're not looking for something self-supporting or that needs to be especially sturdy. Just something that will serve as a screen. That back boundary is just short of 50' across. If it's economical enough we'd also consider doing some or all of the other two sides of the chain link.NewProject Location: Milwaukee, WI Date: 06/05/23Fence Height: 4-6 feetNature of Project: Install a new fenceLocation: Home/ResidenceDesired Completion Date: More than 2 weeksRequest Stage: Planning & BudgetingLength of Fence: 201 - 300 feetPurpose of Fence: Keep pets containedNewProject Location: Milwaukee, WI Date: 06/05/23Nature of Project: Install a new fenceLocation: Home/ResidenceDesired Completion Date: Timing is flexibleRequest Stage: Planning & BudgetingFencing material: WoodComment: Customer did not provide additional comments.
