  • What questions should I ask a fence installer?

    Here are some questions to ask your fence contractor or installer:


    • What types of fences do you have available?
    • How do I choose the right fence for my needs?
    • Do you have references?
    • Can I look at examples of your past work?
    • Are you insured and licensed?
    • Who handles the permitting process?

  • How long does it take to put up a wooden fence?

    In our experience, constructing a basic wooden fence around a yard measuring 100 to 200 feet, with typical ground conditions, usually takes a fence contractor one to two days. This estimate covers the removal of the old fence and post-installation clean-up but does not factor in potential modifications often required during fence installation projects.

  • How many years should a wooden fence last?

    According to Home Guide, a wooden fence should last anywhere from 15-20 years. Factors such as weather, temperature, maintenance, and the type of wood can all play a part in determining how long the fence will last. Feel free to ask your fence contractor if you want to learn more about the durability of a wooden fence.

    • You can secure the permits yourself.
    • Book the installation in the slower season.
    • Try to consider using cheaper materials.
    • You can adjust the height of the fence.

    Implementing these tips can help reduce the cost of fence installation. Don't hesitate to speak to your fence contractor if you're interested in learning more about reducing the cost of your fence.

  • What type of fence lasts the longest?

    In our experience, chain-link fences with a galvanized finish are the longest-lasting type of fence material. Reputable fence companies like our team at A&M Fence Corp will provide plenty of details when you're looking for the material that works best for you.

  • How often do I need to seal a wood fence?

    We recommend that you have a fence contractor seal your wood fence every two years or so. Make sure to clean dirt and debris off the existing fence before sealing. In our experience, woods like yew or white oak can be sealed less frequently since they are more durable.

  • Is a fence worth the money it costs?

    Definitely, a fence not only adds value to your home because of its aesthetics and privacy, but it also increases the security of the home. Fence companies with years of experience, like us at A&M Fence Corp will offer a durable and well-constructed fence that will be worth the investment.

  • What is the most expensive type of fence?

    In our experience, aluminum and metal fences are typically the most expensive, while bamboo fencing is one of the least expensive options. Don't hesitate to discuss your options with a fence contractor on our team.

  • What is the most affordable fencing option?

    In our experience, chain-link fencing is the most affordable and also very long-lasting. Your fence contractor will be able to guide you on the options that work best for your budget and aesthetic.
