"Definitely made the right choice to use Fensu. Came down to a company that we used before and Fensu. Fensu bid was nearly half of the other company and the quality and materials were the same. Chris was patient as we had to get a sign off from our neighbors. Once that was completed, he got his team out to do the job. The crew was organized, courteous and skilled. The foreman talked the entire job through with me to confirm the scope prior to starting. Whenever a question came up during the process, they solicited my input to be sure it was done properly and to my satisfaction. They even fabricated a special piece of fence for the transition from existing to new fence to ensure out dog couldn't get out. No surprises, no drama, just a really good install by really a pleasant crew. WOULD RECOMMEND AND USE AGAIN!"

"The installation crew was very professional, hard working, and completed a beautiful job in 3 days. We are incredibly happy with the overall outcome. However, my issue lies with the business team and their lack of communication and negligence of customer requests. In my email discussing the project details, I said I wanted "the privacy with scalloped picket top in white with gothic caps." I also said that I didn't see latch options for gates, but that I wanted handles. I received the quote quickly after, and didn't catch that the picket top was not included in the quote. I didn't see handles either, but was informed it came with the gates so I didn't question. We spoke with our neighbors and all but one were ok with installation. He refused to allow us to remove his rusted and broken fence, which meant we lost a few feet of our property as we had to move in front of the tree line that bordered his fence on our side. This also meant the installation cost would decrease because they were now only removing one less section of fence (it was confirmed this would be the case if a neighbor refused during the quote process). They confirmed the installation date quickly, but I asked for the updated quote several times over the next week and a half. There were sometimes days between replies and all I got was a few, we'll send it shortly's, and an email confirmation after my fourth request that the cost would be $150 less. Installation went smoothly, until I saw that flat caps were installed instead of the gothic caps I requested. I checked my quote and saw that gothic was listed, and that's when I noticed that the picket top I requested in my details email was missing from the quote. I asked the installation crew and they informed me there was no picket top and that they were told flat caps were needed. I then noticed that there were no handles on the gates. At this point I was fed up with the office because of the horrible communication from them I'd already experienced, and called the quote guy. He picked up right away and informed me that handles were not included (which is not was I was told, nor did he bother to mention when I specifically requested them in my original email). He said that they could, however, put them on without issue and that he would personally inspect in the morning at 9. The next day he showed an hour and a half late for our appointment (for an emergency I was told, but it's yet another point where there wasn't any communication informing me of that until I called him). Upon our discussion, he said someone would come by Thursday to add the missing handles and to fix a post placement. I informed him I was happy with the look of the fence and that we could keep the caps and the scalloped only with no picket, but the point was that what I originally requested was ignored. Imagine if I'd been a customer who wasn't happier with what was installed vs. what I'd chosen? It would have been an absolute nightmare to fix, especially with the communication issues I'd already been having. He played if off that it was fate that this particular fence happened to be in stock because now they were several weeks out for other fence styles. Not the point, but I let it go. Thursday came and I received no confirmation as to a time someone would come. I called the twice, then finally got a response saying someone would come at noon. Noon came, then an hour and a half later I called to get an update. No response. I called a few more times over the next few hours (I did leave a voicemail as well). Still no response. After 5 hours I sent an email stating I would escalate the situation if the lack of communication continued, and that I STILL hadn't received a document with the new pricing. Within a few minutes someone responded that they'd be there at 6:30 and hoped I understood that the rain is what held them up. I understood how the rain could delay the installation crew, but do not understand how the rain excuses the people at the office who are indoors. They could have provided an updated ETA, but didn't until I threatened escalation. Because of their quick response after I'd done that, this tells me that they'd been seeing my calls and just ignoring them. The crew came at 6:30 and added the handles and fixed the post. I inspected and thanked the crew and the job was completed. Again, this review has NOTHING to do with the installation crew and the work they did. We've gotten so many compliments from neighbors on it and we love it. It has everything to do with the unprofessionalism of the office staff. So if you hire, be prepared for that."

"After paying our deposit for a fence install, we contacted the company over concerns that digsafe did not properly demarcate our underground electrical main that is in the vicinity of of the installation area (it was specifically mentioned in our contract that Reliable would handle). I dealt with a rude and confrontational customer service agent named Kelly Dineen, who told us that it wasn’t Reliable’s concern whether our utilities were affected in the install. Hopefully the Reliable install crew puts more pride in their work than Kelly does in hers, and hopefully we won’t encounter any issues where need customer support!

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.
