When putting up a fence or expanding your current fence, make sure you reference your existing home survey. This could help save some major headaches down the road.
You want to make sure that you are putting your fence on your own property line and to be aware of any utility easements that may be running through your property.
Most utility easements run at the back of your lot and can expand 5 feet up to 20 feet. You will need to make sure you know your rights when adding a fence into utility easements.
Check with your local county or city office to see what permits you may need (and surveys) before putting up a fence.

Its November, but here in Orlando it still feels like July. Its so hot and gross, but at least its not as humid. During the summer the humidity makes it feel well into the 100’s. One effect from the summer is mildew or wood rot.
So, now that the summer is over, this is a good time to check your wood fencing for mildew spots, wood rot or even termite damage. Unfortunately these kinds of problems seem to get worse before they get better.
When inspecting for damage, check both sides of your wood fencing. Look for mildew, wood rotting away (easily pulls apart when touched) and termites or termite damage.
Sometimes its best to replace your fencing when the damage is too big. Most will just continue to grow and eat away at your wood.
If you are tired of the wood fencing, you can always switch to vinyl fencing or aluminum fencing. It lasts longer, looks nice and easily maintained.
