Best Fencing Company? Police Recover Man's Body; Rain Forecast Tuesday

What you should know today in Catonsville.

Building fences

We asked Catonsville Patch readers to help us find the best fencing company.

Freedom Fence & Home got two nods, and the following were also recommended: Long Fence, Pyle Fences and East Coast Fence.

With East Coast Fence, a representative was named: Mr. Smearman.

"He does the job you planned. If it's not exactly right, he'll make it right," a reader said.

Which do you recommend? Join in the discussion (and like Catonsville Patch on Facebook?).
