What our contractors ran into
Cullman requires a permit and homeowner had bought cedar at a chain store. Two of the 4x4 posts they'd staged on-site were rated above-ground only (UC3B), not ground-contact (UC4B). Our contractors swapped them for proper UC4B posts before any concrete went in.
How it finished
Three-day install once permit came through (about 8 business days). Our contractors now bring their own posts to every Cullman job.
What our contractors ran into
Lakefront aesthetic — owner wanted minimal visual impact on the water view. Standard aluminum ornamental in flat-top recedes against landscaping. Surface-mounted on the existing concrete patio rather than dig through the deck.
How it finished
Two-day install. Surface mount works well on patios where digging would damage existing slab work.
What our contractors ran into
Subdivision with active HOA — cap-and-trim profile was required but homeowner wanted board-on-board for the solid look. Our contractors proposed board-on-board with a cap rail (a hybrid that satisfies both) and the ARC approved.
How it finished
Two-and-a-half-day install. Hybrid profile reads as cap-and-trim from the road and as solid privacy from the yard.
What our contractors ran into
Horse pasture, mid-size operation. Owner had locust on the property from a previous clearing — saved $1,200 in materials by using their own corners. Our contractors brought treated lumber for the line posts and the rails.
How it finished
Four-day build. Mixed-material approach saved money without compromising structure.
