FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

When should I choose an ornamental fence over a standard metal privacy fence?

Ornamental fences focus on aesthetic appeal and durability using structural metal pickets, making them ideal for security with a view. Metal privacy fences, conversely, utilize solid panels to block line-of-sight entirely.

What's the difference between vinyl fences and traditional wood fences?

Wood fences offer a classic look but require ongoing staining to prevent rot. Vinyl fences resist moisture, warping, and pests without maintenance. J & G Fence Company, Inc. installs both depending on your long-term maintenance preferences.

Why do I need to schedule an appointment for Saturday service instead of just walking in?

Operating by appointment on Saturdays allows our field teams to dedicate uninterrupted time to your specific design layout. This ensures we have the right material specialists available to review your property line constraints.

How does the fence installation process ensure the structure doesn't sag over time?

Longevity depends on proper post-setting and material handling. Our experience at J & G Fence Company, Inc. shows that a strict triple-check process on post depth and alignment prevents shifting caused by soil erosion.

How long does a typical chain-link fence repair take to complete?

Simple fabric patches or top-rail replacements take a few hours. Structural issues, such as bent terminal posts embedded in concrete, require cutting away damaged metal and resetting new posts, which extends the timeline.

What factors affect the cost of a commercial vinyl fence installation?

Total linear footage, fence height, and terrain slope dictate material volume and labor. Hard or rocky soil requires specialized post-hole digging equipment, which impacts the structural prep cost more than the vinyl panels themselves.

Why do metal privacy fences fail prematurely if not installed correctly?

Wind loads create massive sail pressure against solid metal panels. If the load-bearing posts aren't anchored deeply with proper concrete footers, the entire windbreak can buckle or lean during severe weather.

When should I opt for fence replacement instead of just patching up old wood fences?

If more than a third of your structural posts show advanced rot or ground-level decay, patching individual pickets won't restore integrity. J & G Fence Company, Inc. recommends complete replacement when the core framework fails.
