What to Expect on a FindMyFencer Install

What happens after you draw the fence

FindMyFencer measures, prices, and installs fences with its own crews in Southern California and the Denver / Front Range area. The estimate tool works for an address anywhere. This guide is what to expect on a job we take, not a list of other companies to call.

Start with the drawing

Draw the fence on the map and pick the material. You get a range from that drawing. The range is not a locked price. When you are ready, request a free estimate and Josh calls you.

What we go over on the call

1. Where the fence goes. You confirm the line. Property lines, easements, and any city or HOA approval are yours to confirm.
2. How deep the posts go. Post depth, including below the frost line in cold climates, is what keeps a fence standing.
3. Who pulls the permit. Confirm in writing who is responsible — see our permit guide.
4. What is in the price. Old fence removal, haul-away, gates, hardware, and cleanup should all be written down.
5. Warranty. Workmanship is covered by the written quote. Material warranties stay with the manufacturer.
6. Schedule and payment. A start date can move for weather, permits, and materials. The payment terms are on the written quote.

Red Flags to Watch For

• Cash-only or large upfront deposits. A reasonable deposit is normal; demanding the full amount before work starts is not.
• No written contract. Everything — scope, materials, price, timeline, warranty — should be in writing.
• No proof of insurance. If they hesitate, walk away.
• Pressure tactics. "This price is only good today" is a classic high-pressure move.
• A price that leaves out the work. Ask what is left out — it is usually post depth, material grade, or cleanup.
• Vague answers about post setting or permits. Experienced installers answer these instantly.

Read the written price

Make sure the written price names the height, material, post setting, gate count, and whether removal and haul-away are included. A gap in those details is what moves the real price. Use our fence cost calculator as a starting range for your area.

Understand What Drives the Price

Material, height, terrain, gates, and removal all move the number. Our material cost guides break this down: vinyl, wood, and chain link.

Get Everything in Writing

Before any work begins, your contract should include:

• Exact material, height, and style
• Total linear footage and gate details
• Post setting method and depth
• Who handles permits and removal
• Total price and payment schedule
• Start date and estimated completion
• Workmanship warranty terms
