"He did come to my house when he said he would and gave me an estimate to fix the boards. The estimate seemed reasonable....he said he would try to come the following week as it was an easy job. Wellllll......one week went by....two weeks went by.....three, four weeks went by (I thought maybe he was busy??) I called and his response was that he had lost my phone number and forgot how to get to my house. If he didn't want the job, he simply should have told me. Very disappointed as I initially thought I had maybe found a reliable handyman....sadly, not in this case."

Yes, you should confirm that the fencing installer you hire is insured before proceeding with the job. In most cases they do not need a specific fencing license, but rather a general contractor’s license. Hiring a licensed contractor protects you as a homeowner from fraud, poor work, and potential legal woes.

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:

The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

Fence installers typically charge by the hour when working on a project. Typically, you can expect to pay around $50 per hour for fence installation. Your project might take anywhere from 24 to 72 hours, depending on the length of your fence, overall project complexity, and fence type.
