Recent Florence projects
Representative projects — details adapted from real installs in this area, names and specific addresses generalized
What our contractors ran into
Backyard sloped down toward the creek about 4 feet across the back fence line. Stepping the panels was the right call instead of racking (homeowner wanted level cap boards). Our contractors stepped in 8-inch increments with custom cut top rails to keep the visual line clean.
How it finished
Two-and-a-half-day install. Survey confirmed the fence stayed 3 feet inside the property pin nearest the creek. Florence doesn't require a fence permit but the survey saved a neighbor dispute.
What our contractors ran into
Forest Hills HOA wanted cedar specifically (not pine) and a specific board-on-board profile. Our contractors confirmed the cedar grade and submitted lumber-supplier documentation with the ARC application — Forest Hills is one of the few HOAs that checks species at install.
How it finished
Three-day install. ARC walked the finished fence and signed off without revisions. Homeowner stained 4 weeks later.
What our contractors ran into
Variable soil — sand near the river side, clay-rock toward the road. Our contractors used different post-setting methods on different sections: standard concrete in the clay, deeper concrete with additional aggregate in the sandy area. Terminal posts oversized for the long run.
How it finished
Three-day install. Mixed-soil jobs are common in this part of Florence — we plan for it in the estimate now.
What our contractors ran into
Homeowner inherited an 18-year-old wood fence from previous owners. Three posts leaning, two panels rotted at the base. Our contractors replaced the failed posts with UC4B, swapped two panel sections, and re-stained the entire fence to match. The originals were still salvageable in most spots.
How it finished
Three-day repair. Total cost about a third of full replacement. Fence should hold up another 8-10 years.
