Questions for a Fence Installation Company

As a Vancouver-based fence installation company, QS Fencing gets asked a lot of questions about fence installation. But before turning to the professionals, it’s important to know what kind of questions to ask when shopping around for fence installation. What’s a reasonable cost? Is the quote too high or low? How can you tell?

Any reputable company should be happy to provide a free estimate when it comes to the fencing materials. They should ask about the size, height, and material required for the fence. After that, there’s the installation costs to consider. Does the property slope? Are here any other challenges? All this must be considered when providing a quote.

Don’t be afraid to get estimates from two or even three companies to compare before committing to a fencing company. And always remember to ask about the services they provide, specifically if there are specific concerns around a project.

For example, who will secure necessary permits? What happens if utility companies need to be contacted? What is the timeline and when will the project start? Are there alternate suggestions to improve the cost? What if the fence becomes damaged or breaks?

As a rule, chain-link fencing is by far the cheapest and longest lasting, if not the most attractive. Wood is slightly more expensive, but requires ongoing maintenance. Iron and aluminum are both durable and beautiful, but both materials and labour cost more.

In the end, what matters is being comfortable and confident with the vendor you’ve selected. And you need to ask enough questions to make sure that’s the case. To learn more about metal fence installation in Vancouver, contact QS Fencing at 604-345-5145
