Northeast Wisconsin Wood Fencing

Wood fencing is unique in its ability to be utilized for such a wide array of applications. Listed below are some of the most popular applications of wood fencing:

• Decorative Wood Fencing
  Many decorative styles of wood fencing are perfect for showcasing areas of a property or sectioning off a portion of your yard. Wood rail fences and wood picket fences are two of the most common decorative styles of wood fencing.
• Wood Privacy Fencing
  Wood fencing is an excellent option when you are looking for a privacy fence. Available in many styles, easily customizable, and able to be painted or stained in a variety of colors, it is a versatile, attractive option suitable for both residential and commercial properties.
• Wood Perimeter Fencing
  Wood fencing is the staple of privacy fences. Popular across Green Bay and Appleton, a 6-foot dogear wood privacy fence is likely the single-most requested fence we install.

Every local municipality has a separate set of requirements when it comes to building permits, and that includes wood fencing. Sometimes, the specific height of the fence, placement of the fence, or purpose of the fence can impact the need for a permit. There are also HOA considerations in some areas.

We have installed many wood fences in almost every possible area across Green Bay and Appleton so we are happy to answer these questions and guide you through the process.

The best way to get specific answers quickly and accurately is to call your town building code office.

Fence placement is ultimately the responsibility of you, the customer. Moving a fence after installation can be costly, so getting a survey to be safe is never a bad idea. In many cases, the property lines are clear and well-marked and installing your fence can be done without an official survey. However, some municipalities do require it, so be sure to check!

Many small fence companies in Green Bay and Appleton install wood fencing. Very few specifically train their teams on the best installation techniques and practices for wood fencing. Unfortunately, this means that your wood fence is probably not installed as securely as it could be, which ultimately can reduce the quality and lifespan of your wood fence.

Using inferior installation techniques and improper tools can also damage the wood fence during installation, which may have the unfortunate impact of voiding the manufacturer's warranty since you chose an unqualified contractor not approved by the manufacturer.

Here are some of the main pitfalls of working with non-professionals:

1. The Wood Fence Warranty is Void
   If the individual or company that installed your wood fence is no longer in business, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless.

2. The Fence Almost Certainly Won't Last As Long
   As a professional fence company, our team of installers undergoes rigorous training and constant professional supervision. Our dedication to improving our skills, knowledge of the best fencing materials, and best wood fence installation techniques maximizes the strength and life of your fence. Companies that install wood fences as something they do "on the side" usually have no idea how much they don't know about wood fencing or what is best for you and your property.

3. Your Property May be at Risk
   Installing wood fences in the Green Bay and Appleton area can be risky. Sudden, harsh weather during the fence installation can blow materials and damage your home. We've seen concrete splatter onto cars or drip down beautiful driveways or walkways as buckets of wet concrete are transported. Deep tire tracks sinking into your grass is another common issue. The secondary damage to homes and yards is common when untrained labor installs the fence.

   Additionally, you are at risk if anyone gets hurt on your property while they are working. If you hire an unlicensed or uninsured contractor, you may be liable and your homeowner's insurance may deny payment!

At first glance, hiring a novice to install your wood fence may save you a few dollars, but in the long run, it is almost certainly a price you cannot afford to pay!
