Working in Charlotte
Constant moisture and termites attack wood posts, and storms test every panel and gate. Ask about rot-resistant or treated posts, wind-rated spacing in storm zones, and whether vinyl or aluminum makes more sense than wood for that yard.

Questions
Do you take fence and deck installation jobs in Charlotte?
Yes. Requests from Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, Durham and the rest of North Carolina are handled the same way. Use the quote form on this page, or email [email protected] with the service, the address and the timing.
Who is responsible for knowing the property line?
You are. If you are not sure, mention it in your email. Talking with your neighbour before the posts go in avoids most fence disputes.
How do I get a quote?
Email us your city, the service you need and a short description: rough fence length or deck size, the material you have in mind and anything special such as a pool, a slope or an old fence to remove. A contractor who works in your area follows up. Requesting a quote is free and there is no obligation to go ahead.
Which fence material is best?
It depends on what the fence is for. Wood is the most flexible for privacy and looks, but it needs staining every few years. Vinyl costs more up front and needs very little upkeep. Chain-link is the most economical way to enclose a yard or keep a dog in. Aluminum suits pools and front yards where you want a barrier without blocking the view. A good quote can compare two options side by side.
How deep should fence posts go?
A common rule is about a third of the post length in the ground. In cold climates the bottom of the post or footing should also sit below the local frost line, so the ground does not push it up in winter. Soil, wind exposure and fence height matter too, which is why post depth belongs in the quote.
Do I need a permit for a fence or a deck?
Often for decks, especially raised decks attached to the house, and sometimes for fences, depending on height and location. Pool enclosures have their own rules almost everywhere. Requirements vary by municipality, so the quote should say whether a permit is needed and who applies for it.
