At Bustos Contracting we are a family owned business that treats every project like if it were our own house. We offer discounts to our first time customers. We offer quality work and will make sure your dream project is to your expectations.

"Absolute worst decision to go with this group of scammers. This is not a company, just bunch of pathetic liars especially Conan Bustos. Just like the other reviewer said, they came in under budget and did everything to get the job. It was an entire home remodeling project. If I go into details of what went wrong and what they did throughout 6 months this review will probably be 10 pages long. Every single day was a lie. Every small thing was a lie. No one was living in the house, day in and day out they lied about what was being done, when they come in, when they leave. And just like textbook liars, every time when confronted with evidence they would do anything for you to believe that you are wrong. Whenever it was undeniable they he would claim that one of his family members were in hospital , or someone died, or another pathetic lie. As for the job itself, the quality of their work is nonexistent. Every single thing they did had to be redone including putting plumber’s putty when they couldn’t run it properly, running electrical wires in plastic tubes that are not meant to be used in homes for many reasons including safety, wrong installation of 14 ft beam. Never used a level, every single 2x4 was unleveled. Every tile he out in is unleveled. They would paint the ceiling without patching, without Finishing structural work. It’s just too much to mention in a single review. At the end, they run away from job site with big chunk of my money and tons of problems left behind. Good thing is I have evidence of all of these in text messages and emails as well as recordings and photos. Now that I hired an actual contractor who got the job done in 2 months, I am preparing paperwork to sue these scammers. What’s funny is that they realized they are getting exposed, shut down their Facebook page with lots of negative reviews and opened another one. At the same time they are running ads on all Facebook groups in the area trying to scam more people. Do yourself a favor and stay away from these people!!!"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

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.

The average cost to install a fence is between $1,760 and $4,500. These costs are what an average homeowner spends, but you might spend more or less depending on several factors. For a smaller DIY project, you might get away with spending as little as $430, or for a much larger project (like fencing for a 5-acre yard), you can spend in excess of $43,000. 

Besides the size of your yard, other factors like your fence material, fence height, site prep, and additional fence features like gates all impact the overall cost. Additionally, the high cost of raw materials and manufacturing can all make the overall price tag higher.

Before you hire a fence installer to build you the fence of your dreams for your yard, it’s important to set expectations up front by asking questions. Some questions to consider include: 

  • Do you offer a warranty?

  • Do you offer financing or a payment plan?

  • Do you have references?

  • Do you have photos of previous work?

  • What type of fencing materials do you work with?

Do you have references? 

Are all fasteners exterior (galvanized)?

How deep are you concreting the post?

What is the lowest maintenance fencing?

How will you deal with slopes?

Only some fences require a permit to build. Factors like where you live, how tall your fence will be, and where in your yard you plan to build all impact the need to have a permit. Below are a few examples of when a permit is needed; it’s always best to check with your fence installer to confirm if a permit is required.

Generally, if you live somewhere rural, like on a farm, there’s a good chance you will not need a fence permit. However, you will most likely need a permit if you live in a highly populated area. In addition, many privacy fences in your backyard won’t need a permit if it is 6 feet or shorter. However, you might need a permit for anything over 3.5 feet in your front yard.

Any solid panels over 8 feet in height will require a permit, while a 2-foot lattice top on a 6-foot fence does not require a permit.

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.
