A privacy fence is the best way to keep your backyard (or your front yard) away from the public eye. However, just like any other home improvement project such as roof repair, replacement, or installation, constructing a privacy fence also involves some amount of planning before you even attempt to start. Neglecting to take these into consideration can cause you a lot more trouble further down the road.
Let our remodeling specialists at Masters Roofing walk you through the essentials of building a privacy fence and help you get this quick and interesting project well underway.
Local Codes
It’s always a good idea to check your building codes in your area for allowable fencing as a first step. Of course, enlisting the help of roof replacement and exterior renovation professionals should help you get through this step that much faster. Some jurisdictions limit the height of privacy fences so it’s prudent to always check specifications before you start buying your materials.
Tell Your Neighbors
Ideally, you want your fence to run along your property lines. However, doing this might impinge a little bit on neighboring properties. It’s important to let your neighbors know that you are planning to build a privacy fence around your home to avoid potential problems between you and them.
Trust the Professionals
Building a fence can be a DIY job but building a good fence will definitely require the help of a licensed general contractor. Having professional help ensures the strength and quality of the construction and gives you much better value for your time and money.
