Should fence installers be certified or licensed?

<div>Yes, most states require a fencing installer to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-avoid-home-improvement-fraud.htm">unlicensed fence installer</a> 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:<ul><li>The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check</li><li>Required to have applicable state and local licenses</li><li>Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review</li><li>Paying to advertise their services</li><li>Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi</li></ul>Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.</div>

How much are typical fence installation costs?

<div><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. 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. </div>

What questions should I ask a fence installer?

<div>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: <ul><li>Do you offer a warranty?</li><li>Do you offer financing or a payment plan?</li><li>Do you have references?</li><li>Do you have photos of previous work?</li><li>What type of fencing materials do you work with?</li></ul></div>

This group of guys came on a Tuesday morning and removed chain link fence. Dug and placed posts. Completed the job by 6pm. We are thrilled. They were so professional and worked harder than anyone I've ever seen. Add the Texas heat and I'd say they are rockstars. They cleaned up everything as...

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.

Vio and his team went above and beyond to make sure I was left happy and satisfied with the work they did. Vio did so much extra work that wasn't apart of the original quote. He removed and hauled away my old fence for free. He moved my very big, very heavy swingset for free. He regraded my...
