  • Do I have to stain or paint a wood fence?

    It is paramount that you properly seal and maintain your wood fence. In our experience, untreated wood fences may last 15 years, but painting and staining a fence can double that amount with proper maintenance. Reach out to our fencing company if your property's fence needs to be stained or painted!
  • How do I properly maintain a wood fence?

    You should stain or paint a wood fence a few months after installation, but do not wait a full year before treating it. You want the fence to dry out after the installation so that the wood can bond better with your stain. Waiting a year may make the fence too weathered or dirty to be sealed properly. If you have further questions for our fencing company, make sure to contact Sam Fencing today!
  • Are there maintenance-free fence varieties?

    Yes, wood fences require maintenance, but fences made of aluminum, chain links, and vinyl are virtually maintenance-free. If you have further questions, make sure to reach out to our fencing company today!

    We at Sam Fencing are very responsive with our workmanship warranty. Our fencing company will get your warranty repairs expedited at the top of our list to provide whatever work is required.
  • What should I discuss with my neighbors before installing a fence?

    Discuss boundary lines, the type of fence, and potential shared costs if the fence will benefit both properties. Our fencing company can help both parties outline definitive boundary lines.
  • Can I install a fence by myself?

    DIY is possible, especially for simpler fence types, but our fencing company provides professional installation that ensures longevity and compliance with local codes.
  • What is the best time of year to install a fence?

    Spring and fall typically offer better weather conditions for installation and material acclimation, making them ideal seasons to work with a fencing company for your project.
  • What should I do if my property is on a slope?

    Special installation techniques like stepping or racking can accommodate slopes, and a fencing company can help you determine which method works best for your property. Discuss options with your installer.
  • How do I choose the right contractor for fence installation?

    Look for a licensed, insured contractor associated with a fencing company with good reviews and ask for multiple quotes.
  • Will installing a new fence increase my property value?

    Generally, yes. Adding a fence can increase your property’s value, especially when a fencing company installs a design that enhances curb appeal, boosts functionality, and complements the overall look of your home.
