How to choose fence companies
- 1
Confirm the property line
Know exactly where your line is before posts go in. A survey or plat map saves a fight with a neighbor later.
- 2
Check the rules first
Many cities and HOAs limit fence height, style and placement, and some require a permit. Ask the company to confirm before they order materials.
- 3
Ask how the posts are set
Posts set in concrete at the right depth are what make a fence last. Ask how deep, how far apart and in what.
- 4
Call before anyone digs
Underground lines have to be marked before posts go in. Most fence companies arrange it; ask to be sure.
FAQ
Questions about fence companies
Wood or vinyl fence?
Wood costs less up front and needs staining or sealing. Vinyl costs more but needs very little upkeep.
How long does fence installation take?
Most residential fences take one to three days once materials arrive. Permits and post-hole concrete can add time.
Who pays for a fence between neighbors?
It depends on local rules and where the fence sits. Talk to your neighbor before you build, and get any agreement in writing.
How long does a wood fence last?
It depends on the wood and the climate. Regular staining or sealing and good posts make a big difference.
Does it cost anything to use Job Hound?
No. Job Hound is free for homeowners, and pros never pay for leads, so there is no lead fee baked into the price you are quoted.
