On-Site Walkthrough + Measurements
We walk the property with you, take precise measurements, and confirm what you want the fence to accomplish (privacy, layout, access points). This prevents surprises and lets us scope materials and gate locations correctly.
Layout Confirmation
Before any digging starts, we verify the fence line, where gates should go, and how the fence transitions around corners, slopes, and existing features. You’ll know exactly what’s being built and where.
Post Settings
A wood fence is only as strong as its posts. We set posts with alignment and stability in mind so the fence stays straight, holds tension, and stands up to weather and daily use.
Framing + picket installation based on your selected style
We build the fence structure and install pickets to match your chosen style—privacy, board-on-board, shadowbox, or decorative. The goal is clean lines, consistent spacing, and a finished look.
Gate build + hardware installation and alignment
Gates are the most-used part of most fences, so we focus on solid framing, proper bracing, and smooth operation. We install and adjust hardware so gates open and close cleanly and latch correctly.
Cleanup and debris removal (where applicable)
We keep the jobsite tidy throughout the install and clean up when the work is complete. If removal/haul-off is part of your scope, we’ll confirm that up front and handle it accordingly.
Final walkthrough + punch list
We do a final walkthrough with you, confirm gate operation, alignment, and finish details, then address any punch-list items. You’ll leave with a fence you feel good about—not a list of “we’ll come back later.”
Installation Time Line
Timeline depends on:
-
Total linear footage
-
Number of gates and upgrades
-
Terrain/slope and access
-

How do i choose the right fence style?
Start with your goal: privacy, curb appeal, or both. We can recommend a style based on your yard layout and budget. For quick comparisons, check out Wood 101.
How long does installation take?
Most projects depend on fence length, gates, terrain, and weather. After the site walkthrough, we’ll give you a realistic timeline.
Can you remove my old fence?
Yes—many projects include removal and haul-off where applicable. We’ll confirm in your scope so it’s clear up front.
Do you install gates and hardware upgrades?
Yes. Gate function is one of the most important parts of a fence. We can build standard gates or upgraded options depending on access and usage.
Do you offer a workmanship guarantee?
We stand behind our workmanship. Ask during your quote and we’ll explain what’s covered for your specific project.
Do I need HOA approval or a permit?
Some neighborhoods require HOA approval or have style/height rules. If you’re in an HOA, it’s smart to confirm requirements before installation.
What affects the cost of a wood fence?
Fence length, height, number of gates, slope/terrain, removal of old fencing, and upgrade choices all impact price. We’ll break this down clearly in your quote.
When should I stain or seal a new wood fence?
It depends on the wood and conditions. We’ll share a simple recommendation based on your fence style and local weather patterns.
Should I repair or replace my current wood fence?
If posts are failing, the fence is leaning badly, or multiple sections are deteriorating, replacement is often the better investment. See Fence Repair vs Fence Replacement for guidance.
