"We hired Luis and his team to paint all our walls, ceilings, install and paint new baseboards and a few other tasks. Luis and his team are absolutely phenomenal. They are timely, quick to respond, and their work speaks for itself. Luis treats your home like it is his own - going the extra mile to clean up lines and fix cracks, etc. I would recommend Luis and his team to anyone looking for a trustworthy and highly skilled team to help you with your home project! Thank you, Luis!!"

"Jason is kind, sincere, and very knowledgeable. He was helpful in helping us understand our limitations and expectations in regards to property boundaries and village code. His team members were extremely efficient. I would recommend L & J Construction to anyone and everyone. Their price was the most reasonable, they started when they said they would and had it not been for the rain, they would have finished on time. I'm grateful they didn't try installing with soaked soil just to get the job done. You can tell they take pride in their work. I'm grateful that we decided to contract with Jason. I'm sure you will be too."

"I had a great experience with Suarez! From the initial consult thru the project. I felt they listened to what I wanted and gave me different estimates so I could decide Re price. Their installers were friendly and professional and cleaned up after themselves. I definitely will work with them again on any project they are willing to do!"

Frequently asked questions
- Budget: Your budget is central in influencing which fence you buy. Figure out your spending limit and determine your budget per linear foot, as fencing costs can quickly add up.
- Durability: Consider strength, lifespan, resistance to pests, rot and fungus, rust, and the material’s ability to withstand local weather conditions.
- Maintenance: Maintenance, cleaning and repairs should be simple and minimal.
- Purpose: The style of fence you choose should be suitable for its intended purpose.
- Installation: Find out what installation requirements, such as foundations or supports, are necessary. Research if DIY is possible or if professional installation is your only option.
- Wood fence styles range from traditional to contemporary and from purely functional to attractive and decorative.
- Lattice fences are affordable and decorative. You can use them as privacy fences by growing dense foliage over them.
- Vertical board fences are the most common type of residential fence. There are budget-friendly options available as well as higher-end panels. Vertical board fences are affordable choices for basic privacy and security fences.
- Picket fences conjure up cozy images of traditional properties with carefully tended lawns. They’re good for demarcating a property boundary but don’t provide much security.
- Post-and-rail fences are a solid choice for making a boundary over a large area, as material use is minimal. However, they don’t provide any security or privacy.
- Metal fences are generally stronger and more secure than other materials. You can choose from highly ornate and secure metalwork or simple but functional wire. For the higher-end options, which are often costly, homeowners often reduce costs per square foot by combining the metal with brick.
- Aluminum fencing is an attractive, more affordable alternative to wrought iron. Although it has a similar appearance, it’s not as strong as wrought iron.
- Steel fencing is a strong, long-lasting fencing option that’s good for creating a secure barrier around your home.
- Vinyl fencing made from PVC comes in a range of styles, including those that mimic real wood.
- Composite fencing is an amalgamation of wood fibers, pulp or sawdust and ground plastic particles that are bonded and held together by an acrylic resin. It looks and feels like real wood and is an environmentally friendly choice, as it usually contains a high percentage of recycled materials.
- Wire fences are not made to enhance the aesthetics of your property, although some homeowners opt for black fencing to help boost aesthetics. They are inexpensive, purely functional products suitable for DIY or professional installation.
- Barbed wire fencing isn’t common in residential settings. While it’s an inexpensive, fierce and intimidating security deterrent, it isn’t attractive and will not add value to your home.
