If you’re looking to get a new fence installed, you’re probably wondering how long the process will take. The good news is that it usually won’t take more than three or four weeks from start to finish. This timeline depends on a variety of factors. The size and complexity of your fence, the type of fencing material you choose, and the time of year can all affect how long it takes to get your fence installed. Read on for more information on the timeline of getting a new fence installed.
First Determine Exactly What You Need
At Fence Builders Inc, our sales representatives usually start by visiting your property to give you a solid estimate on your fence. The time it takes to complete this step depends largely on the schedule of the homeowner. The next step requires the homeowner to determine exactly what they need and want. This includes deciding on the type of fence, the height, and any additional features such as gates or decorative accents. We then issue a quote/contract that needs to be executed. If you want a fence fast, order something that we have in stock, as we have a large stock of fence inventory on hand. If we need to special order your fence or components for the fence, this will add time to the installation process.
We Make Sure We Know Exactly What to Do
Once the contract is signed, our team will kick off the project! We will have the public underground utility lines marked, and we may need to wait for a survey of the homeowner’s property. In the interim, we’ll dispatch a construction superintendent to thoroughly inspect the project in person. The construction superintendent will accurately assess all the elements and resources necessary to construct your fence. They can pre-determine where each post should go, decide if special attachments like augers are needed for assembly, and evaluate whether power is required for an automated gate.
Gathering All the Parts and Pieces
Our expert team in-house will construct the gates, shape the wood and assemble all necessary parts to finish your project – even any special orders from our trusted suppliers. Once all preparations are complete, we will arrange a time to install your new fence.
Installation of Your Fence
Unfavorable weather conditions (such as rain) can throw off our entire schedule, thus impacting all of our customers. Our crew will be in touch a day prior to your installation so that you can anticipate our arrival and plan accordingly. Our expert installers will ensure a high-quality finished product that you can be proud of, with a goal of completing everything in one trip.
It Depends on the Season
During the Spring and Fall months, we experience an increase in demand for our services, thus resulting in longer lead times. If you’re seeking a perfect time to complete your fencing project, the summer season is an ideal choice. During this period of rest and relaxation, activity slows down significantly – making it the opportune moment!
