Part of my backyard fence has been blown and damaged by the storm. I like to have the damaged poles replaced and the rest reinforced. Ideally you can reuse undamaged potion of the fence to cut down the cost. Please see the attached picture on the website.

From the picture, it's obvious to me that when the fence was constructed, one or two things were done improperly. (1) The 4x4 posts were not cement supported, and(2) pressure treated wood was not used, and the bottom of the post has rotted from being in direct contact with the ground. My bid price of $120.00 is for my labor only. Any necessary materials i.e. 4x4 post, cement would be an additional expense. It appears that most, if not all of the actual fence is reusable. My method of installing posts doesn't require re-inforcement, and is guaranteed for 15 years. Feel free to contact me at 408-469-3342 anytime with any questions or concerns that you may have.Thank you. Sincerely, Tom Meier Q & C Construction.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for your assessment. You are right on about the post being in direct contact with the ground. I look around other part of the fence and see some posts are protected by metal. See attached picture. Here are the questions:
1. Can you compare the two shielding method: metal vs. cement?
2. Do you have an estimate on the part cost? e.g., 4x4 post and cement/metal.
3. Does the $120/post already factor in the "recession buster discount of 10%"?
Thanks a lot!

I would need to see the fence to give you a price the one picture is not enough to give you a quote. If the fence can be saved. I charge $ 100.00
a post to replace. If it goes over 5 post the price can come down some.
Please give me a call to set up an appt. 408-893-9707
