Any recommendations for a yard fence contractor out there? We need to replace our wooden fence but none of the recommended ones that we’ve contacted work in DC. Appreciate any suggestions.”

“Dear PoPville,
This latest heat wave makes me realize I must cover my southern-facing alley parking pad with a 2 car carport. Can we ask the community to see who has done something similar? Anything creative to provide shade for cars? Any good contractors to work with or anyone to stay away from? Any advice on how to navigate the city permitting process?“

The contractor will need a crane to get it onto the roof of a 3 story building.
Has anyone replaced their heat pump recently under similar circumstances? Read More
