Frequently Asked Questions
GENERAL QUESTIONS
The cost of a fence depends upon several factors. The main determining factors consist of what type of fence material is selected, the style of fence being built, what type and how many gates are installed, and, of course, how many linear feet of fence is required. (Linear footage is calculated by measuring the perimeter of the area that the fence will be built on.) For privacy fences, pressure-treated pine is the most economical material choice.

When your backyard backs up against your neighbor’s yard, you’ll want a privacy fence with a height that gives you the most privacy. Usually, this can be accomplished with a 6ft height. But we can do height transitions higher or lower than 6ft in order to give you more privacy or more view depending on your preference.
If your backyard does not back up against a neighbor, but to a green space or pond, our steel fence or chain link fence are a popular choices. Your yard may be perfect for a picket fence if privacy is not a priority.
The land rights may vary in your area. So, it may be necessary to check with your local tax assessor’s office office. However, the ownership of an existing fence is typically the same owner of the land for which the fence is installed upon. We do not conduct any property surveys nor do we imply property lines. If there is an existing fence, you should check with your neighbors to be certain the fence is yours. When there is doubt, it may be necessary to hire a survey company to mark the property lines.
Our pine fencing products are pressure-treated to make them resistant to insects, rot, and damage.
We also offer fence staining and sealing using Expert Stain & Seal. This oil-based stain gives your fence (or deck) the ultimate protection against weather and environmental elements while making your fence (or deck) look it’s very best. Available in a variety of stain colors.

When fences are installed using pre-fabricated panels, fencing slopes and irregular ground levels can be difficult to properly fence. You will usually get large gaps at the bottom areas and uneven capping.
We do NOT use pre-fabricated fence panels. We build custom fences. Custom fences (or stick-built fences) allow us to better follow the lay-of-the-land (topography) and gives a much smoother transition. We can include custom transitions as an upgrade to your fence installation.
The turnaround time for fence installation depends on several factors such as type of fence, length of fence to be installed, and site conditions. Project time would also be affected by the removal of any existing fence if required. Usually, installation takes 2 days here in Columbus and surrounding area. If we’re also removing an old fence, the total time would be 3 to 4 days. Please ask your sales representative for scheduling details.
Each fence comes with a different type of warranty or guarantee of performance. For example, our wood fences come with a ONE YEAR WARRANTY that covers exchange of faulty product. Our steel fences come with a FIFTEEN YEAR WARRANTY through the manufacturer. Please see the warranty section of our Resources page for complete details.
