Measure the project and define the goal
Identify whether the fence is for privacy, security, pets, appearance, access control, or a property repair. Provide approximate footage, desired height, gate locations, material preference, and photographs of the full fence line.
- New installation, repair, or full replacement
- Existing posts, panels, gates, concrete, and debris to remove
- Slopes, drainage, vegetation, trees, and equipment access
- Known survey markers, easements, utilities, HOA rules, and permits
Confirm the boundary before installation
The customer is responsible for providing reliable property-line information. Existing fences, mowing lines, utility poles, and a neighbor’s statement are not substitutes for a survey when the boundary is uncertain.
Include demolition and cleanup in the decision
Old fencing, concrete around posts, vines, brush, gates, and damaged materials can add substantial labor and disposal. The estimate should state whether removal, hauling, grading, and final cleanup are included so the new fence is not surrounded by the old one.
