We Sell DIY Fencing Materials & Offer Professional Installation
Installing a fence can be a daunting task. There are so many things to consider: the materials, the height, the style…the list goes on and on. And then, once you’ve made all of those decisions, you have to actually install the fence yourself! If that sounds like too much work – or if you’re just not sure you can do it right – then professional installation may be a better option for you. In this article, we’ll take a look at the pros and cons of professional fence installation and help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
One of the biggest advantages of professional installation is that it saves you time. If you’re not experienced in installing fences, it can take days – or even weeks – to get the job done. Professional installers, on the other hand, can usually have your fence up and ready to go in hours. That’s valuable time that you can spend doing other things – like enjoying your new fence!
Another advantage of professional installation is that it often comes with a warranty. When you install a fence yourself, there’s always the possibility that something will go wrong. Maybe you’ll make a mistake while cutting the boards or digging the holes. Or maybe you will run into an installation issue you were not prepared for. With professional installation, these problems are usually covered by a professional service guarantee. That means if something does go wrong, it will be on the installer to remedy the situation and they will fix it – at no cost to you!
There are, of course, some disadvantages to professional installation as well. The biggest one is that it tends to be more expensive than do-it-yourself installation. If you’re on a tight budget, that extra cost may be enough to push you towards the DIY route.
If you are handy and have some construction experience you may be able to accomplish this yourself. In fact, here at Good Neighbor Fence, we sell professional-grade materials to the local DIY community.
If you reach out to us for an estimate and let us know you want to DIY the job yourself we can provide a quote for the same materials we trust our reputation to and provide to our customers.
Here are some of the construction considerations you should take into account on your DIY fencing installation.
The first is whether you have the tools necessary to do the job. If not, can you borrow them or rent them?
You will also want to consider the permitting process and the location of underground utilities. It can be a very bad day on the job when you begin digging a hole only to find you have created a very expensive, and an embarrassing mistake by digging right into something buried you were not aware of.
Likewise, the height of the fence and its location may subject it to regulations that require a permit or simply limit the type of fence you can install. If you are a DIYer, our knowledgeable staff is happy to answer questions for those we are providing materials to.
The next thing to consider is the lay of the land itself. How many rocks are on your property? What kind of soil will you be digging into? Do you have the expertise to get the fence to sit correctly and level in the place you are planning to put it?
If the process of installing your own fence sounds complicated, or you just want to save time and hassle, our professional installers are licensed and have years of experience building fences that will last a lifetime. Call us today and get a free materials and installation estimate!
