I can help — do you mean reviews for fencing companies near you, or general tips on how to evaluate fencing companies?
- If you want local company reviews: tell me your city or ZIP code and I’ll look up the top-rated local fencing companies and summarize recent customer reviews, pricing notes, services, and any warranties or complaints.
- If you want general guidance now: here are quick, actionable tips to evaluate fencing-company reviews and pick a good contractor:
- Check multiple sources: Google Business, Yelp, Angi (Angie's List), Better Business Bureau (BBB), Houzz, and local Facebook groups. Look for consistent themes across sites.
- Prioritize recent reviews (last 12–24 months) — materials, labor costs, and service quality can change.
- Look for photos: good reviewers usually post before/after photos that show workmanship and cleanup.
- Watch for repeated complaints (e.g., missed deadlines, unexpected upcharges, poor cleanup, or permits not pulled). One bad review isn’t decisive — patterns are.
- Check licensing & insurance: verified licensing and general liability/worker’s comp are must-haves. Ask the company to provide current documents.
- Get written estimates from at least 3 contractors with itemized costs (materials, labor, permit fees). Compare scope, not just price.
- Ask about warranty: get details in writing — what’s covered, duration, whether it covers materials and labor.
- Ask for references: request 2–3 recent customers (within 6–12 months) and call them about schedule, communication, and post-install issues.
- Verify permit handling: a professional contractor usually pulls permits and schedules inspections when required.
- Payment terms: avoid large upfront cash payments. A typical schedule is small deposit, progress payment(s), balance on completion. Use a credit card or check for record when possible.
