Questions before the visit.
These answers help you plan a conversation about fence company. Confirm the scope with the business before booking.
Do I need a property survey?
A fence should follow verified boundaries. Ask what survey or boundary information the installer needs; a fence is not proof of ownership.
Do fence heights have local limits?
Rules vary by location and yard position. Confirm the allowed height before choosing a design.
Who arranges utility marking?
Agree on who requests utility marking before digging and how the schedule depends on it.
Can you replace only a gate?
Describe the opening, latch and existing posts. Their condition may affect whether a gate-only repair is practical.
Which material should I choose?
Compare privacy, maintenance, exposure and budget. Ask to see available materials rather than assuming every type is offered.
What if my yard slopes?
A site visit can establish whether stepped panels, a racked design or another approach fits the grade.
Should I talk with my neighbor?
Discuss access and shared boundaries early. Confirm ownership and any agreements in writing.
What does installation include?
Ask whether removal, disposal, post setting, gates, hardware and restoration are included.
