5 Questions to Ask When Hiring Lakewood Fence Companies

When you’re considering various Lakewood fence companies, it’s important to vet each by asking the right questions about your installation.

It’s easy to get on Google and search for fence contractors in your area, click the first result, then hire them to get the job done for you. While you might be hiring a company that can do a good job for you, you might not be hiring the people who can do the best job. At Superior Fence & Rail of Denver, we believe that it’s important for our customers to vet us with other Lakewood fence companies. While we feel that we’re the best for every job, we want you to feel confident in your decision as well. To help with this, we have five questions that you should ask before hiring a company to complete your fence installation.

How do I know which type of fence is right for me?

Fences come in all kinds of shapes, sizes, materials, and looks. We understand if it’s confusing or difficult to choose the one that’s right for you. A professional can help you weigh your options with materials, consider what you’re wanting to install your fence for, and look at different parts of your yard. A quality fence contractor will be able to provide you with honest and professional opinions.

Can I speak with some references?

Any contractor or fence company that provides quality work should be able to give you references to speak with. Reading Google and Yelp reviews are great when you’re first starting to search for a fencing company, but speaking with somebody directly allows you to ask specific questions. Ask about their experience to find out what they did and didn’t like about working with the company. Keep in mind that there might be something the company did during the installation that another customer didn’t like that you will.

Have you done an installation like mine?

Most yards are going to have something about them that’s unique. Whether it’s an oddly-shaped alcove in the back corner or the bedrock is particularly dense, you might present an installation crew with some kind of oddity they’ve never seen before. However, most yards in a neighborhood are similar in size and shape and present similar challenges. Ask a contractor if they’ve worked in the area and are aware of potential challenges that might come with your fence installation.

Do your fences come with warranties?

Finding out about fence warranties before your installation is crucial. It’s not uncommon for manufacturers to attach specific warranties to their fence posts, pickets, and hardware individually, as each aspect is at risk for its own wear and tear. For instance, the hardware might have a warranty against rust, while wooden posts have a warranty against termites and rot. If your fence doesn’t come with any warranties at all, you might want to look elsewhere.

How long will it take to complete the installation?

Professional fencing companies should be able to work quickly and efficiently enough that your installation can be completed within a reasonable amount of time. This, of course, depends on the size of your yard and the type of fencing that you have installed. Get what you believe to be a realistic estimate from the contractor as well as how they intend to complete the fence within the projected time frame.
