Working in New York
Humid summers swell wood and cold winters shrink it, which loosens boards and opens gaps on fences and decks. Posts need to sit below frost depth, and a fresh coat of stain every few seasons keeps decks from graying and splitting.
New York is the largest US city, the world's primary financial centre, and the densest commercial real estate market in North America. New York spans dense Class A office and high-rise residential in NYC, life sciences in Long Island, and manufacturing upstate, in a humid-continental climate with hard winters across most of the state.

Questions
Do you take fence and deck installation jobs in New York?
Yes. Requests from New York, Buffalo, Albany, Rochester and the rest of New York are handled the same way. Use the quote form on this page, or email [email protected] with the service, the address and the timing.
Wood or composite for a deck?
Pressure-treated wood costs less and can be stained any colour, but it needs washing and staining every few years and can split or crack. Composite costs more up front, keeps its colour longer and never needs staining, though it can get hot in full sun. Many decks use pressure-treated framing under composite boards.
Can my fence or deck be repaired instead of replaced?
Often, yes. A leaning section usually comes from one rotted or heaved post that can be replaced on its own. Loose or cupped deck boards can be refastened or swapped. When the posts, the framing or the ledger board against the house are rotten, repair stops making sense, and a good quote says so.
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.
