A fence surrounding your home can offer privacy, security and boost curb appeal. Installing a fence can be a disaster. We’ve all heard the stories of an illegitimate contractor performing shoddy work and running away with the money, leaving homeowners cleaning up the mess on their own. To avoid this unfortunate situation, follow the below steps and ensure you’re left with a perfect fence that suits your home and family.
Research is key when looking for the right fencing company. Before entering into conversation with any company you should research them online. Check out their google reviews, read the testimonies on their website and flip through their photo gallery to check out some of their past work. Always be thinking about two things: quality and experience.
For added security, check the company address. Many fly-by-night companies will not have a legitimate address associated with their business. If you can’t verify the address, walk away immediately.
Large-scale purchases, such as a fence, require concentration and attention to detail. When you’re talking with a fencing company, ensure you look for these red flags:
Pushing a decision on a client is unprofessional. A company that acts in this way probably has something to hide. A legitimate business will give you all the information required and then let you make the decision on your own accord.
We advise being wary of companies that only accept cash. Of course, there are legitimate businesses out there that offer cash discounts however, these business’ will offer a multitude of other payment options.
As with any industry, in fencing, you are entitled to an estimate. If the contractor won’t offer an estimate, it’s probably because the company plans on overcharging you.
In other words, no estimate? No contract.
Before choosing a fencing company, you should choose which fence you want. You should know how much fencing you’ll need, what material you want, what your budget is and have a basic idea of design.
When meeting with contractors, they’ll greatly appreciate this clear sense of direction as it’ll allow them to make an estimate in addition to offering any warranties or walking you through their guarantees.
The best way to know if a company produces good work? They’re confident in the quality of their work. A guarantee essentially proclaims that this company believes in their product. This is a great sign and minimizes the risk taken on by you!
If you keep these tips in mind, you should have no problem finding a great fencing company. These companies can help you install the perfect fence for your home within a budget and timeline that works for you. If you’d like to learn more, please feel free to contact us.
