Should fence installers be certified or licensed?

• <div><p>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. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-avoid-home-improvement-fraud.htm">Hiring a licensed contractor</a> protects you as a homeowner from fraud, poor work, and potential legal woes. </p><p>As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: </p><ul><li><p>The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check</p></li><li><p>Required to have applicable state and local licenses</p></li><li><p>Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review</p></li><li><p>Paying to advertise their services</p></li><li><p>Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi</p></li></ul><p>Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.</p></div> • <div><p>Licensing and certification are not necessary.</p></div>

How much are typical fence installation costs?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-fence-installation-cost.htm">The average cost to install a fence</a> 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. </p><p>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. </p></div> • <div><p>The overall cost of a fence project depends on numerous factors, including the size of your yard, fence material, fence height, site preparation, and additional features like gates.</p></div> • <div><p>Specific pricing varies drastically based on material choices and options. Length of fence, height, and gate options all are contributing factors that will determine the overall cost of a fence. Typically a per foot price can be given that ranges from $20-$50 per linear foot for installations.</p></div> • <div><p>It all depends on the specifications of the fence, such as linear footage, gate installations, demolition and haul-off, and other factors.</p></div> • <div><p>It depends on the type of fence, the scope of work, and other factors.</p></div>

What questions should I ask a fence installer?

• <div><p>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: </p><ul><li><p>Do you offer a warranty?</p></li><li><p>Do you offer financing or a payment plan?</p></li><li><p>Do you have references?</p></li><li><p>Do you have photos of previous work?</p></li><li><p>What type of fencing materials do you work with?</p></li></ul><p></p></div> • <div><p>Do you have references? </p><p>Are all fasteners exterior (galvanized)?</p><p>How deep are you concreting the post?</p><p>What is the lowest maintenance fencing?</p><p>How will you deal with slopes?</p></div>

Do I need a permit to build a fence?

• <div><p>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.</p><p>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. </p></div> • <div><p>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. </p></div> • <div><p>Permit requirements can vary, so it's best to check with your county and municipality. Your fence contractor should be able to help confirm the specific requirements.</p></div> • <div><p>If you are digging in the ground, then yes. If it's just a repair with no digging, then no.</p></div>

This was my first new fence purchase, and Jeff made it as easy as possible to get a fence that is not “one of the best”, but “the best” on the block. And compared to other quotes, the was the good (quality) deal.

Began and completed fence on time. Communicated clearly with 2 clients as the project was a shared fenceline. Esthetically beautiful, strong, and sturdy, completed fence and gates. I would definitely use them and recommend them again for other projects. Very pleased from start to finish.
