It can take days to reach the correct Fence Company that meets yours needs. Google generates over 100 Fence Companies in SWFl in a single search. Not including the 100 more that don’t show up on google, but are referred through a friend or colleague. When receiving quotes of any kind most people go for the lowest one; its understandable! With todays economy fluctuating, its smart to safe when you can. However, I recommend all home and business owners to verify price market prior to accepting a low quote ; the risk acquired multiply instantly. Taking on a big project such a new fence for your home or business comes with many challenges below are some tips to keep in mind:

Licensed and Insured

Despite the fact that any company can be listed on sunbiz and be insured does not garante you that they are Fence Contractors. Verifying license number and insurance will safe you time down the line. Whereas un licensed company might be able to provide a lower quote they will not be able to pull permits and inspections. They will not have access to real time information regarding your permit and in most cases the time to for permit approvel doubles such as they use a third party; incresed permit fees are typical. Damages to electrical lines, phones lines, water pipes and sprinkler systems are common; in most cases they are repaired onsite. In case damages are non reparable by the contractor insured and licensed contractors have the option to pay of hand or submit to insurance company, in ethier case customers are assured that their damages will be fixed correctly with no cost to them. In contrast, although the company performing the installation might be insured but not licensed you still face the posibility of seeing yourself in a civil law suit. Like I stated previously unlicenses companies must use a third party to submit permits. Meaning claims can take a provoleged period of time and in most cases not paid.

Is you Fence project being subcontracted?

Are you in fact contracting the company that provides the quote? Ill go further into detail. Many companies after acquiring your business will subcontract their work; meaning you never met the installation company until time of Install. This leaves us with the big question; Who did you Contract X or Y Company?
