"There were some issues with my neighbors just two days before the fence was supposed to go up. Paul was very nice accommodating our issue. The fence looks great and we can now let our dog enjoy the backyard, as can we."

"Sean and his team, managed to lose my reservation with them, but to his credit even though he was out of state he did everything to make it right. Including in the evening to get me loaded and on the road in schedule. He could have easily dropped me, but is a man of his word. Excellent truck pack. Would definitely use again!"

"The work was done very quickly but not at the cost of quality. The workers were prompt and Alan (the owner) and Candi (in the office) were quite helpful and on top of the job. When they were done, they cleaned up and didn't leave any trash behind. I don't know whether I could have had the same quality of work done cheaper but after reading the reviews I decided to spend a little more and have the job done correctly the first time. Sometimes when you choose a lower bid, you're not getting the same quality of work and you end up having to hire someone to fix the mess that the first group left. I've experienced that before (hence, removal of the fake chimney) and now I just want to get the remaining jobs done. However, since money is limited (until I win the lottery) I can't do everything at once as I'd like as the cost is more than I can handle at one time. But I was very happy with the work Westside did so I would definitely use them again.

"Fast response to our inquiry. Quoted a fair price. and scheduled job to be done the next day. Listened to what we wanted done and did exactly what we wanted done the way we wanted it done. Supplied all the material.
With out charging extra they provided top soil, seed and straw for the lawn area that was necessary to disturb during their work. This was above any beyond their quoted work scope."

"The provider came to our house to assess the problem. They had installed the gutters a few years before, so we called them as we
liked their work. The provider sent a worker out the next day. He repaired the flashing and the siding, and found the ice dam problem.
He returned to install a heating cable for the gutters. He worked in a diligent and professional manner.

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
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.
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.
