5 Questions to Ask Regarding Your Fence Estimate

What Payment Options Do You Have?

Payment policies may vary, but most contractors will accept full payment after completing the project. Some may ask for a deposit at around 10% of the full price, while others may use a payment schedule. Whatever you do, don't offer half of the payment or full price upfront.

What Are the Possible Extra Charges?

Some contractors can easily overcharge homeowners on materials or work slowly to increase the number of billable days. To be safe, ask for the fence estimate in writing. Both parties should agree that this will represent the final bill.

Do You Use Screws or Nails?

Ask your contractors if they will use outdoor screws for your project, as they are far superior to nails. If you plan on using pressure-treated wood for your fence, deck screws are best, while galvanized screws suit untreated wood.

Do You Offer Installation & Manufacturer Warranty?

Most manufacturers offer limited lifetime warranties on their products. As for installation, reputable fencing contractors will provide a two- to five-year warranty. This information should be indicated in the written contract.  

Do You Carry Insurance?

Ask your contractor if they carry liability and workers’ compensation insurance. The former exists to protect your property from damage caused by the contractor, the latter protects you from liability should a worker get injured on the job.
