If you are thinking about have a fence installed on your property, either vinyl, wood, or aluminum, it is important to find out a little information about the company. The last thing you want is a poor quality fence, that blows over in the first storm. Or even worse, a company that just takes your money and is gone with the wind.
To ensure you hire a reputable and reliable fence company, ask them a few questions.
Are you licensed?
Having a fence contractor licensed in Florida means they have passed licensure requirements in the fence construction field. This means they will have the necessary expertise to build a fence in Floria.
Working with an unlicensed company may mean lower costs for you, but many headaches in the future if something were to go wrong while the contractors are working at your home.
Are you insured?
There are several different types of insurance that the fence company should carry, including General Liability, Workers’ Compensation, vehicle insurance on company vehicles. This protects you if there is any damage to your property or a worker is injured.
How long has the company been in business?
If the fence company has been in business for a decade in your local area, they will have the experience not only with building a quality fence, but also the topography.
Do They Have a workmanship warranty?
Check that any company you have in mind backs up their work with a workmanship warranty. This ensures that you are happy with the company’s work long after they leave your property.
How long with the fence project take?
Ask how long will it be before the company starts on your fence and once stared, how long will it take to finish. This way you will know what to expect and plan accordingly.
How is the company’s reputation?
As with any service company, a good reputation means job after job of satisfied customers. Reputation speaks to the fencing company’s experience and workmanship more than the best marketing write up. If you’re a Fence Central customer, we’d love to hear any feedback you have about our services.
