Wood Fencing
Cedar, spruce or pressure-treated pine. A wood fence still gives the warmest, most classic look on a Western New York property, and we build it to actually hold up here.
What's included
Posts go in at least 42 inches deep in concrete so freeze-thaw cycles don't work them loose.
Privacy, picket, board-on-board, or shadowbox. We build to the look and level of privacy you actually want.
Rails and posts use pressure-treated lumber rated for ground and weather contact, even under a cedar face.
We adjust for slope so the fence line steps or rakes cleanly instead of leaving gaps under the bottom rail.
Matching gates are framed to resist sagging, with galvanized hinges and a self-latching option available.
We can apply an initial coat of stain or sealant at installation to protect the wood from day one.
Materials
Cedar costs more but resists rot and insects naturally and holds stain better over time; pressure-treated pine is the budget-friendly workhorse that needs a bit more upkeep.
From first call to done right.
Site walk and material choice
We measure the fence line and go over cedar versus pressure-treated pine, along with style options.
Layout and permitting
We mark the final layout and pull any permit your municipality requires before digging.
Framing and installation
Posts are set below frost depth, rails and pickets or panels go up plumb, and gates are hung and adjusted.
Final walkthrough
We check every gate and post with you and go over staining timelines and warranty coverage.
Wood Fencing FAQs
Should I choose cedar or pressure-treated pine?
Cedar costs more but resists rot and insects on its own and takes stain more evenly; pressure-treated pine is more budget-friendly but needs more regular maintenance.
How soon after installation should a wood fence be stained?
New wood needs to dry out first. We typically recommend waiting 60 to 90 days before the first stain coat unless we've pre-treated it at install.
How long does a wood fence last in Western New York?
With proper post depth and regular staining, a cedar or PT wood fence typically lasts 15 to 20 years in our climate.
Do you include a gate with a wood fence installation?
Yes, every wood fence project includes at least one matching gate built and hung as part of the base installation.
