5 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Fence Contractor

Antelis Fence & Hardscapes

Not all fence contractors operate the same way. Asking a few direct questions upfront can save Davidson homeowners a lot of frustration later.

1. Are You Insured?

Insurance protects you if something goes wrong during the project. Ask to confirm coverage before signing anything.

2. What's the Realistic Timeline?

A vague answer is a red flag. A contractor who's done the work before should be able to give you a reasonable estimate based on your specific project.

3. Do You Handle Utility Locates?

Digging post holes without knowing where utility lines run is a real risk. A professional contractor should call in locates as a standard part of the process, not an optional add-on.

4. What Does the Quote Actually Include?

Ask whether the quote covers materials, labor, cleanup, and gate hardware, or if any of those are extra. A detailed written quote avoids surprises later.

5. Can I See Recent Work?

Photos of recent, similar projects give you a real sense of quality - not just a sales pitch.
