Frequently Asked Questions
What types of fences do you install in Modesto?
We install a wide variety of fencing to meet different needs and budgets, including wood, vinyl, chain link, and wrought iron. Whether you need a privacy fence for your backyard in the College Area or a secure chain-link enclosure for a commercial property near the Modesto Airport, we have the experience to get the job done right.
How do you prevent fence panel cracking in Modesto's climate?
Modesto's hot, dry summers and cooler winters can cause wood to expand and contract, leading to cracking. We prevent this by using properly seasoned lumber, leaving adequate gaps between boards for expansion, and applying a high-quality sealant. Our 36 years of local experience means we know exactly how to build a fence that withstands our specific weather conditions.
Do you provide free estimates for fence repairs and installations?
Yes, we offer free, no-obligation estimates for both new installations and repairs. We’ll meet you at your property, discuss your needs, and provide a clear, upfront price. From the initial call to the final inspection, our goal is to make the entire process hassle-free.
