Installing a wood fence for your home enhances the aesthetic appeal, security, and functionality of your house. Deciding which fencing company to use can seem overwhelming. However, we have compiled a list of the top tips to help you find the perfect company for your home fencing project.
Materials
If substandard materials or building techniques are used, wooden fences that are exposed to weather and other elements can deteriorate more rapidly. This will negatively affect the aesthetic appeal of the fence. To ensure longevity for your fence, you need to start with high-quality materials.
Find a wood fence company that provides a high-quality product. Each of our wood creations is made of #1 cedar boards and cedar back rails. We exclusively install cedar wood fences in either stockade or custom wood. A spruce will only last 6-8 years, while cedar will give you a good look and last 12-20 years. Our wood creations are put together with 30 year treated posts that are guaranteed to outlast the fence and not rot, ensuring minimal maintenance.
Customization
The discerning customer often desires a fence that is individually suite to his or her needs and desires. Find a fence company that is willing to work with you to make your vision come to life. The best companies will put the time in to make sure your project comes out exactly as desired, whether that be custom panels, stockade, custom gates, arbors, posts, post & rail, etc. Check out company websites and view photos of completed projects to get an idea of the quality and variety of their work.
We offer wood fences and wood fence gates that are completely customizable and unique. In our shop, every wooden fence we install is custom crafted and made to order. Our process allows you to relay any specifications that are meaningful to you.
Installation Services
The choice between a professional wood fence installation and a DIY-project can have a large impact on the value added to your home. Having a fence professionally installed will ensure that your fence both looks great and stands the test of time. Attempting to do-it-yourself may lead to poor installation and a loss in durability. A professional installation gives your fence the best quality and chance at weathering elemental impacts, with minimal maintenance and additional investment.
Choosing the right fence contractor is also important. The contractor you use should recommend the best fence material quality available, ensuring the safety of your yard. Another important aspect to consider while choosing wooden a fence contractor is the level of experience that they have.

Be Prepared
Make sure you come prepared with a list of questions and a clear vision when consulting with an installation company. You want to be sure that your goals come across clearly, and are understood by the installer. Include details about what you hope to achieve with a wood fence installation. For example, share if you are looking to create a backyard oasis for your kids or pets, if you are looking to increase the safety and security of your home, or even if you just want privacy. A good fence company will create a customized fence perfectly suited to you and your home.
Analyze Value
Smart shoppers will understand that a lower cost option may not be not be the best option. Obtain a few estimates and look at the overall value of the offer, rather than just the dollar amount. Understand that you may not always be looking at an apples-to-apples comparison when evaluating quotes from different installation companies. Remember to inquire about whether the company includes or charges extra for consultations, property surveys, and permits. Additionally, it’s important to ask about the quality of the materials being used in your build; some companies use higher quality materials, while others prefer to cut costs by using inferior wood that will deteriorate faster. A proper warranty will also give you peace of mind and add value to your investment.
