Can A Fence Be Installed In One Day?

One of the top questions we get from those wanting a fence installed is “can a fence be installed in one day?” Although this question may seem straightforward, there are many variables at play to answer it correctly. In this blog, Superior Fence & Rail will discuss the considerations that must be addressed when a fence company says that can install your fence in one day, and the red flags associated with this claim.

If It Seems Too Good To Be True, It Usually Is Too Good To Be True

When it comes to obtaining an accurate quote, or realistic fence installation scheduling , “sight unseen” should make you question the company’s integrity and validity. To better explain this, let’s do a little role play … “You are online looking for a fence company to install the fence you want for your backyard. During this search, you come across a company that promises one day fence installation. Even though you have never heard of the company, they have pretty pictures of fences on their website and their website verbiage is telling you everything you want to hear – wow, a beautiful fence that I can have in my own backyard in as little as just one day! Even better is the fact that they can give me an “online quote”, virtually, without even visiting my property.” To many, this may seem like the perfect juxtaposition because you won’t have to take time off work for a consultation and you will get an accurate fence quote by supplying just a few simple measurements. Then I can schedule a day to install the fence, and the transaction will flow perfectly, right?

Wrong. If it seems too good to be true, it is too good to be true. This is because any reputable fence company will insist on visiting your property to consult with you about the best fence to fit your needs, and the best fence for the topography of your property. A reputable fence company will also insist on professionally measuring the area you want fenced, using their own professional measuring tools and experience in property measurement for fencing.

Relying on virtual, online, sight unseen, practices for providing an accurate fence quote only leads to problems. This can include delayed installation times and incorrect estimates on needed materials and supplies, just for starters. These inaccuracies will turn that “one day fence install” promise into a timeframe of weeks, or even longer, as the contractor waits for the shortage materials needed to complete your fence.

Trust The “Tried And True” Professional Approach Over Sight-Unseen Virtual Consultations

On site fence consultations are the only way to get an accurate measurement and assessment of intricacies, such as the grade, of your specific property. Often, if a fence builder claims to be able to install a fence in one day, size wise, using a virtual consultation, the project will be thwarted by inaccurate supplies and topography challenges. Many of the essential details will be missed by not visiting your property. These inadequacies can result in a fence crew having to return on another day, or your project may even span into weeks.

At Superior Fence & Rail we leave no stone unturned in getting to know your property. This is necessary to give you an exact quote and accurate installation timeline. Here is a breakdown of our Superior fence project process works:

We Schedule An In-Person, On-Site Consultation With Accurate Measurements

Our on-site consultation is scheduled at a time that is most convenient for you. Communication is always key, and our goal is to provide you with not only a fence that exceeds your expectations, but a customer service experience that does too!

Accuracy and learning the minutia your property are crucial to the fence installation process. This will ensure a top-quality installation that will result in your overall satisfaction. Flat yards are rare. While to an untrained eye, it may look flat, to a qualified professional, there is always a slope. GPS imagery lacks precise slope data. Since we create custom fences, our sales consultants are required to measure slopes.

Additionally, since customer-provided GPS readings are rarely reliable. While there are many pricey measurement tools on the market, our salespeople prefer a 300′ tape. Inches matter in the fencing industry. On installation day, our trucks must have the right materials to properly complete the work.
