Choosing a Fencing Contractor

Will you need a permit?
Will you contact a utility locator?
It is critical to know where underground utility lines are buried before you dig in order to protect yourself from injury and prevent damage to underground utility lines.
How deep do fence posts have to go?
This depends on many factors, including the type of material used and the climate conditions in your area (snow loads, frost, winds, etc.). The American Fence Association (AFA) recommends that you consult with an experienced local fence contractor (preferably an AFA member) who is familiar with the specifications and standards associated with fence installation.
Are there standards that pertain to fence materials and products?
The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) develops and publishes standards for thousands of products, including fences. A knowledgeable, well-trained fence contractor will be versed in ASTM standards for fence products and installation. All members of the American Fence Association are supplied with an updated ASTM Manual for Fence Products regularly.
When can I expect the project to be complete?
Fencing companies frequently have large backlogs. Be sure to know going in when your fencing project will be complete.
What kind of warranty do you offer?
Does the quote include all gates, hardware, end posts, corner posts, and gate posts?
The project should be turn key with no unexpected charges.
