Service FAQs

Common Questions About Fencing & Decks

What types of fencing do you install?

We install custom wood and PVC fencing for privacy, perimeter definition, security, and decorative applications. Available styles may include vertical or horizontal boards, capped fencing, lattice details, matching gates, and other project-specific features.

Do you build both wood and composite decks?

Yes. We can build and repair wood or composite deck systems based on the desired appearance, maintenance expectations, budget, and site conditions. Product availability and installation requirements vary by manufacturer, so the final material is selected before the project scope is confirmed.

How do wood, PVC, and composite materials compare?

Wood offers a natural appearance and broad design flexibility but typically needs periodic cleaning, staining, or sealing. PVC fencing and composite decking generally require less routine finishing, although they still need normal cleaning and correct installation. We can compare the options based on appearance, heat exposure, upkeep, budget, and the intended use of the space.

Can you repair an existing fence or deck?

Yes. We inspect posts, framing, boards, rails, stairs, gates, fasteners, and visible deterioration to determine whether a focused repair is practical. When damage is widespread or the supporting structure is compromised, replacement may provide the safer and more cost-effective long-term result.

Can you build custom gates and access points?

Yes. We can incorporate pedestrian gates, wider equipment-access gates, and driveway gates into the fence design. Gate width, swing direction, grade, clearances, hardware, and daily use are reviewed so the finished gate operates properly.

Can the fence or deck be designed to match my home?

Yes. Board orientation, spacing, trim, caps, stain colors, railing style, decking color, and other finish details can be selected to complement the home's architecture and surrounding landscape.

Do fences and decks require permits?

Requirements depend on the city, height, location, structural scope, setbacks, and project details. Some fences may require zoning review, while elevated decks, guards, stairs, and structural alterations commonly require permits and inspections. We can help identify the likely requirements and coordinate the approved scope before construction.

How long does a fence or deck project take?

Timing depends on project size, demolition, access, material lead times, site conditions, inspections, and finish work. A straightforward fence may be completed relatively quickly, while a custom deck or more involved outdoor structure requires additional planning and construction time. We provide a project-specific schedule after reviewing the site and scope.

Will you remove the existing fence or deck?

Removal, haul-away, and site cleanup can be included in the proposal. We review access, disposal needs, existing footings, and any areas that must remain protected before demolition begins.

How should I maintain a new fence or deck?

Maintenance depends on the selected material and exposure. Wood may need periodic cleaning and protective coatings, while PVC fencing and composite decking are generally cleaned with mild soap and water according to the product manufacturer's instructions. We can explain the recommended care for the materials used on your project.
