Any recommendations for someone to replace a simple wooden fence. Live in St. George.

NOT Forrest Scott. Installed a gate that was dragging on the ground, then wanted to charge for fixing it.

I believe you. But Forrest Scott helped me on several projects, albeit not in the field.

I have to second the warning about avoiding Forrest Scott. He did actually install a fence for me several years ago. I am not one of the people who had to fight to get a deposit back. I gave up trying to get anyone coming out to fix 2 gates that sag worse every year. On both the hinges are badly bent because they can't bear the weight of the gate.

Note - Scott Fencing is entirely separate and one of the better thought of companies in BTR.

We used Scott fencing to replace 40 ft wooden fence plus a double 6ft wooden gate. They did a good job. Used aluminum posts and bracing for the gates. Hoping to never replace them.

I like installing fences. Tough work but rewarding.
I wouldn't want to do it for a living though.
