Fence Contractor Serving East Highland, VA

In East Highland’s climate, pressure-treated pine and natural cedar work best for wood fences. Pressure-treated pine resists insects and rot, making it a cost-effective option that lasts 15-20 years with proper care. Cedar costs a bit more but has natural oils that protect against decay and insects, plus a beautiful grain pattern many homeowners prefer. Both options stand up well to our local weather when properly installed and maintained. We recommend sealing or staining wood fences every 2-3 years to maximize their lifespan in East Highland’s varying conditions.

For most East Highland properties, we dig post holes 24-30 inches deep to ensure stability. This depth puts the posts below the frost line, preventing shifting during winter freeze-thaw cycles. We use concrete around each post for maximum strength and stability. If your property has unusually sandy or clay-heavy soil, we may adjust the depth accordingly. Our goal is to create a solid foundation that keeps your fence straight and strong for many years, even through strong winds and seasonal ground changes.

Yes, most fence installations in East Highland require a permit from the local building department. Requirements vary depending on your specific location, fence height, and property zoning. Front yard fences typically face more restrictions than backyard fences. As part of our service, we help with the entire permit process – completing paperwork, submitting applications, and ensuring your fence meets all local code requirements. This saves you time and helps avoid potential issues with non-compliant installations.

For an average East Highland home, concrete polishing typically takes 2-3 days to complete. This includes preparation, multiple grinding stages with progressively finer diamonds, staining (if desired), and applying final sealant. The exact timeline depends on your floor’s condition, size, and desired finish level. While the process requires specialized equipment and creates some dust (which we contain), you can usually walk on the floor within 24 hours of completion. Our team works efficiently to minimize disruption to your household while ensuring a beautiful, long-lasting result.

For East Highland patios, stained concrete offers significant advantages over paint. Concrete stain penetrates the surface and becomes part of the concrete itself, creating permanent color that won’t chip, peel, or wear away like paint. Stained concrete maintains the natural texture of the concrete, providing better slip resistance for outdoor areas. It also ages gracefully, developing character over time, while painted concrete often shows wear patterns and requires more frequent touch-ups. Our stained concrete options include acid stains for marbled effects and water-based stains for more consistent color, both sealed for protection against East Highland’s weather.

Absolutely! Many East Highland properties have sloped yards, and we have proven techniques for creating beautiful fences on uneven ground. We typically use either the step method (where fence sections remain level but step down the slope) or the racking method (where the fence follows the slope’s contour). The best approach depends on your specific property and fence style. Our team carefully measures elevation changes and adjusts each section accordingly, ensuring a fence that looks great and functions properly. We also pay special attention to gate placement and operation on sloped terrain to ensure easy access.

Maintaining an epoxy floor in your East Highland garage is simple. Regular sweeping removes dirt and debris that might scratch the surface. For cleaning, use a soft mop with mild soap and water – avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. Clean oil or fluid spills promptly to prevent staining, though quality epoxy resists most garage chemicals. If you notice small scratches from daily use, a touch-up kit (which we can provide) makes quick repairs easy. With these simple steps, your epoxy garage floor will maintain its beauty and function for 10-15 years before needing a fresh topcoat.
