"It went very smoothly from first contact through job execution. Some neighbors had recommended them as a previous contractor never did the fencing job he had promised. In the end, they were less costly and did a fantastic job."

"Fence Pros Direct did a wonderful job fencing our backyard! We recently bought a house after moving to RI from out of state, and moved in with our two pups. The backyard wasn’t fenced though when we moved in, so the dogs couldn’t go out. I called between 10-15 fence companies, and Fence Pros Direct was the only company that could still fit us in this year. Chad came out, measured the yard, and sent us a quote a few days later. While it wasn’t the lowest quote we received, it was well worth it to use to use a company that communicated well, and was able to come out in an efficient timeframe. Less than two weeks from when I originally reached out, our fence was built! The crew that came out to actually set it up was incredibly friendly, & built the fence in just a few hours. It appears to be very sturdy & well constructed. They answered all my questions, and built it exactly as anticipated. Payments can all be made through an e-check portal, and Chad was always quick to answer any emails & phone calls. I would definitely recommend this company for all your fencing needs!"

"Let me start off by saying that Herb is a very nice guy and a hard worker.  It took me  a long time to formulate this review because I wanted some time to sit and I wanted to be fair.  Let me also say that Herb does some things very well and tries hard, but I think people should be aware of both what he does well and what he does not do well. 
I decided on Herb in part because of the schedule he represented (I was having company in a few months and he said he could complete the bathroom on time) and in part price, though he was not a lot less expensive than others I solicited bids from.  In any event, we chose a date with a clear understanding of the date it needed to be completed by.  I live in a older home (built  1925) and it has only 1.5 bathrooms.  Much of the the bathroom was original when I bought the home a year ago.  The bathroom is small and there were no plans (or room) to expand.  It was almost a gut job and replacing tubs, tile, flooring, sink, etc.  Some of the drywall (plaster in this house) stayed as did the ceiling.  I also explained to him three times the detailed plan for what I wanted in the bathroom including "shampoo boxes" that are built into the walls of the shower area.  I also explained that they were labor intensive because of all the tile cutting.  He signed off on it. (I even had the specs of the boxes.)  This was not my first bathroom remodel so I was prepared--I knew what I wanted.
The demo went ok.  The original concrete floor was much thicker than we anticipated, but Herb got through it and the demo was complete in about a day and a half.  Although, in the process, his team cracked and ruined the walls of the adjacent bedroom, stairwell and ceiling below.  (For the most part, he repaired those.)  I was rolling with it since stuff happens.  Almost immediately, I noticed his team dropped by one person.  It was now Herb and one assistant.  That is all fine except his assistant was not allowed to do anything independently.  For example, when Herb was tiling the shower area, his assistant could only run up and down stairs to cut tile instead of working on the plumbing or other items that needed to be done.  He was basically a "gopher" though I am sure he could have done more.  Herb did a good job shimming up the floor joists and making the walls square.  That took awhile, but is obviously worth it.  He gave me an estimate of 2 weeks to finish the job and said that he would work late and weekends if necessary.  By the time he was putting the bathtub in, more than one week had passed.  It was obvious that the bathroom would not be finished on time.  The tiling was painstakingly slow.  It must have taken 4 full days to tile the shower area.  I used subway tile, so it was nothing fancy.  The shampoo boxes, though they turned out great, took forever.  The whole 4 days, his assistant was not allowed to do other work, e.g., the electrical for the heated floor, any plumbing or anything. In any event, needless to say, his promised day came and went and the bathroom was nowhere near ready to use.  Meanwhile, my two kids and I are going to my mom's house to shower. And my company came and the house was a construction zone.
To cut the story down, by the time he left, he was so out of sorts because he had gone way over on time on the job, that he rushed out and made some terrible choices.  My dad is STILL fixing some of the issues we encountered, 2 months later.  My bathroom is not finished.  In all fairness, I did represent to Herb that we would paint.  Easy enough and I have no problem doing that.  It is a good thing too because his finishing work is terrible.  Here were some of the problems:  his trim pieces were too big and not beveled or mitered.  They stuck out and looked terrible.  We replaced those.  He put the curved shower rod so far into the shower that we immediately replaced it, which required us to remove some tiles, replace, and regrout.  He literally took a dirty finger and caulked around the tub so the caulk looks awful, like yellowy; it is terrible against white subway tiles and a white tub.  That still needs to be replaced.  The marble threshhold he put in was cut wrong and caulked terribly.  We still need to replace that.  I went out of town (after the job was supposed to be finished) and had a nightmare that the new toilet blocked the small closet door near it--remember I said old house--quirky too.  Sure enough I came home and the toilet was blocking the closet, yet he still put it in and hooked it up!  The rough in was 15 inches, not 12, yet he failed to discuss that with me when I purchased the toilet, nor did he discuss the option of moving the rough in.  On a day when I just wanted to be able to shower (and should have been able to if the shower rod had been installed) he spent 2 hours in the morning cutting a hole for the new fan only to then read the instructions and discover I needed a hot wire or something different.  I told him to put the old one back up and I would fix it later--which I did.  That two hours could have been spent getting my kids and me into a usable bathroom.
What Herb does well includes working hard, precision work (the tile job looks great) and being generally nice and understanding.  I really feel like he misrepresented his team (he is really a solo guy) and project management.  My bathroom is still not totally finished.  The drain in the sink is slow and the drain was put in crooked, so I want it reset so the gasket does not show, among other things. 
I really like Herb and I would recommend him for smaller jobs or jobs that don't require finishing work.  In addition, the owner of the property should be present to avoid mistakes because his judgment, especially on aesthetics or design, is not up to par in that he hadn't worked enough with these items to have any knowledge that something was not done right.  In fact, he seems like he hasn't heard of many things like shampoo boxes, heated floors (this was his first install) and a curved shower rod.  It was interesting.
If I needed new drywall, if I needed a fence replaced or a window redone or a deck replaced, he would be great, but a whole bathroom was too much for him.  All that said he was also receptive to feedback and wants to do better.

FAQs for fencing service projects in Carolina, RI

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.
