FAQs
Fence questions, answered
If you don’t see your question here, call or email—happy to help.
Do I need a permit?
Requirements vary by town and fence type or height. During your estimate we can help you identify what your municipality typically requires.
What material is best for Maine weather?
Wood, vinyl, aluminum, and chain link can all work well when installed correctly. We’ll recommend options based on your goals, including privacy, pets, pool safety, security, and aesthetics.
Can you repair an existing fence?
Yes—posts, panels, and gates can often be repaired without replacing the entire fence. We’ll assess what’s salvageable and what should be replaced.
How long does installation take?
It depends on size and weather. Many residential installs are completed within a few days once materials and scheduling are confirmed.
Do you install gates?
Yes—pedestrian and driveway gate options are available, and we can upgrade hardware on existing gates too.
