Thirteen great tips
We know how difficult it can be to choose a professional installer. Our years of experience have helped us compile some helpful information that will assist you when choosing a qualified fencer.

  • Be sure to explain precisely what you would like to have done. When getting multiple quotes, this will ensure the contractors are bidding on the same work.
  • Choose the contractor who is the best value. This may not be the lowest price. Be cautious if one price is significantly lower than another. Consider a company's reputation and level of service offered. As with any service, you get what you pay for.
  • Be sure your contractor has all of the necessary insurance. Laws vary from state to state, but most require contractors to carry liability, property damage, and worker's compensation insurance. A contractor who cuts corners can offer a lower price, but will put the property owner at risk.
  • Discuss building codes, permits, location of utilities, and property lines. Determine who will be responsible for each. A good contractor will be knowledgeable in these areas.
  • Keep an eye out for other fencing projects similar to your needs. Ask around, — many excellent contractors with outstanding reputations are out there.
  • A quality-oriented contractor will have a list of satisfied customers as references. Inspecting recent projects will give you a feel for their workmanship. Searching for the best materials will be in vain if they are improperly installed.
  • Choose a contractor who is informative and knowledgeable of their products. A good installer will encourage questions and explain in detail the work to be done and materials used.
  • If they are available, ask for samples of the product you are interested in.
  • Once you have chosen a contractor, it is not always necessary but is good practice to use a written contract. When used, a contract should fully detail a job and include a firm cost. Be sure that it specifies the products you have chosen by brand name.
  • Be aware that most contractors require a deposit. Ordering most specialty products will require a deposit as a show of faith and to expedite the order. Discuss all payment schedules in detail with your contractor.
  • Do not complete payment until the work is properly finished.
  • Use common sense. A good contractor will comply with these guidelines already and should have no problem extending this level of service to you.
  • Be sure to register all warranties upon project completion.
