If you are planning to have a fence installed on your property, it’s understandable that you would have some questions about the process. You might wonder how to choose a fence company, what to expect when you call for a quote, when you can expect to be put on the schedule, and how long the project will take. Is the fence installation process complicated? What can you expect from the fence installers? All fence installation companies are not the same, but there are some similarities between them, and we can take you through the process followed by Paramount Fence.

How Fence Companies Work and How to Choose the Right One

Fence companies carry a wide variety of fence materials, and they engage professionals to do the installation. Depending on the size and type of company, these may be employees of the company, or they may be subcontractors. The company manages the project, and you may be assigned a project manager as your point of contact while your fence is being installed. In addition to the fence installers and project manager, a fence company will generally have customer service agents who answer your questions, help you choose materials and fence style, and schedule your project. The first step for you as a homeowner is finding the right company. Find fence installation companies near you by talking to friends and neighbors about their experiences, and by shopping for fence companies online. Take the time to read reviews from crowd-sourced review sites, and make a list of questions you would like to ask the fence companies you are considering. You should be comfortable with the company you hire, which may mean you need to conduct a few interviews and get a few estimates before finding the right company.

The Paramount Fence Process: Fence Quote to Install Timeline

Whether you know before you call that you want to hire Paramount Fence, or you’re just collecting estimates, your relationship with Paramount begins when you request your free on-site estimate. You can do this by calling our office or by filling out a form on our website to get the ball rolling.

Once your estimate is scheduled, someone from our team will visit your property. We will measure your property thoroughly and accurately, so that we can make an accurate estimate. Not only will we take notes on the area of the property, but on different factors that will come into play during the installation process, including slopes, outcroppings, trees, and corners.
Next, our salespeople will discuss your project with you. Asking questions about fencing options, including materials, height, and the purpose of your fence, they will consider your needs and how they line up with your property assessment. Based on your budget and your project’s unique requirements, we will make recommendations for fencing that we believe will be right for you.
When you decide to go with Paramount for your fencing, we’ll draw up a contract. The estimate will normally be given the same day as the measurements are taken, and if you are ready to schedule your installation, you can sign your contract and pay a down payment, and we will put you on the schedule.
The next step is preinstallation. Before we begin, we want to make sure every detail has been handled correctly. We contact JULIE to mark and clear utilities from the area with visible flags and spray paint. We also apply for any applicable permits, as well as clear the plans with your HOA, if necessary.
Installation day arrives! Once all the preliminary actions have been completed, including paperwork and permits, we can start on your fence! Our team installs fencing carefully and efficiently, using the highest quality materials. It usually takes between one and three days to install a fence, and we will be responsive to your needs during the process, because we want you to be thrilled with your completed fence. After we’ve finished, we haul away fencing materials and dirt, leaving you with a beautiful new fence.
