Choosing the right fence contractor to install your fence is essential.
Having a new residential fence installed on your property is always exciting, as you take the next step in securing your belongings, upgrading your home’s curb appeal, and making your house safer and more comfortable. However, choosing the right fence contractor to install your fence is essential. What are some of the mistakes that you should avoid during the installation process?
Not Doing Your Research
Before embarking on any home improvement project, you should always do a base amount of research to familiarize yourself with what to expect. For example, consider what materials or colors you might want. Additionally, consider factors that might impact your fence installation, like powerlines or trees that need to be worked around. By thinking about these things in advance, you can have a much more streamlined process when meeting your fence contractor.
Skipping the HOA Research
Do you live in a community with an HOA? You must check ahead of time about any rules they have for residential fences. Some areas have restrictions about how tall a fence can be, while others might have regulations about what materials can be used or what color your fence can be. Getting this information ahead of your fence installation is essential to avoid paying fines or even needing to replace your fence later.
Thinking It’s Over After Installation
Even if you choose a fencing material that is lower maintenance like vinyl, your residential fence will still need to be maintained. Never assume that things are over after the initial fence installation. Additionally, make sure you speak with your fence contractor about what you need to know for maintenance. Some different fencing materials, like wood, are particularly susceptible to damage, so it’s important to understand what signs to look for.
