"From the quote to the follow up I was so happy with the entire process. The work is not contracted out. It was done by the family who owns the company and their employees. They were quick, considerate and accommodating to the fact I had other work going on and they had to deal with dig safe because of the gas pipeline in my yard. The price was great and right on target with my numerous other quotes. They had a wonderful selection of fences and actually listened and asked questions. I have done a lot of work on my house and this company far exceeds any of the contractors I have used so far. So much so that I have never written a review before. They just did such a great job I think other people need to know!"

"Morgan and crew were great to work with. The total work took place over about six months of time, with many stalls, all of which were attributed to either waiting for a permit, or weather problems. Morgan and his workers maintain a crazy schedule, working sometimes as much as 12 hours a day 7 days a week. As far as I could tell they didn't break for anything. The only day they didn't work was St Patrick's day and the Monday afterwards, even then Morgan called to let me know what was going on ;)
Morgan had all the qualities I would look for an an outstanding contractor: He was a great communicator, he was always on time, and he paid attention to detail. I always knew what was happening, how it was going to happen, and what the problems could be/were. He assisted us by giving good advice on price/quality trade offs of various building approaches. He always made good suggestions and eagerly worked with us if we took his advice or not ;) He was easy to work with, always flexible when we wanted changes at the last minute, or if something was done, and once we saw it we wanted it a different way. (Like our bay window rebuild where we wanted one type of window, but once everything was in, we wanted it changed); he dealt with it, returned the windows and got the ones we wanted - no extra cost, simply outstanding.
Despite working for months on several phases of a major house overhaul, there was only one major problem, which was resolved quickly and professionally. While framing our new front porch, they framed the wrong size openings for the windows. When the windows arrived, they worked like mad men to re-frame the porch, and in the end they caught up to schedule, did a great job, and never complained. It turned out great. Over the same time there were from time to time several minor problems, including a good pillow-case which was used to stop up a toilet drain by one of the demolition team. Also, the electrician Morgan used was not particularly good with details. Both of these problems Morgan addressed promptly and professionally.
Overall the work and team was top notch and we expect to use them again in the future for our Kitchen and Attic.

"My wife liked his style and professionalism so much she also ordered a gate for the windows (bars). I thought that would look horrible. But he is such an artist. This is a original creative design that he came up with (modifed a gate design, to add more detail). I think you will agree this guy is extremely talented. He also did not mind when we told him to come back with more paint on the rails and window bars. Greatly appreciated.

Yes, most states require a fencing installer to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed fence installer could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
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

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.
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?
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.
