How to find a good fence company in the San Diego area.
So you have decided it is time to replace that old fence around your yard or add a new fence. Whether you are replacing an old fence or building a new one for the first time, there are many things to consider when making this important decision.

Things to consider when looking for a good fencing company:
1. How long has the company been doing business?
2. Does the company carry liability and workers' compensation insurance?
3. Get two or more recent references, which you can drive by and view their workmanship first hand or speak with the owners.
4. Get at least two or three other bids, so you can compare not only price, but which one offers the most value for the money.
5. Find a fencing company that will come out and take measurements and discuss options before giving you a price, because you will need to have an accurate estimate to make a good decision.
6. Get a written contract so you know the total you will pay before work begins.
7. What are their payment terms?
8. What is their warranty?
9. What is the estimated time of completion?

Where to find references:
The best place to start asking about fencing companies is your family, friends and especially your neighbors. Other good sources of references include other contractors, management companies, and HOA. Your Home Owners Association may have restrictions on what kind of fence can be built, as well as colors. It's always best to find out this information before you begin construction. They may also require you to submit plans, colors and an estimate to their architectural committee for approval before you begin.

Good questions to ask references:
Were you happy with the quality provided by the fencing company?
Everybody has their own ideas of quality, so you should take a look at their fence and judge for yourself. Pay attention to see if the fence posts are straight. Are there visible cracks between the boards that should overlap? Do the gates operate properly? ​

How does it look...visually?
If painted or stained, does the color look consistent?
Does it feel solid?

Did the fencing company clean up after themselves?
Did they remove the old fence, and leave the yard clean after doing the work? Did they pick up nails or screws from the yard? If you are left to clean up after them, this will cost you more time, money and frustration.

Were they courteous and polite?
This is a very important consideration. The entire experience, from beginning to end, needs to be as stress free as possible. Plus if the fence builder enjoys their job, the quality and attention to details will be better. The customers attitude can and will affect the entire fencing job. Hopefully this will be the first question you ask. If the answer to this question is "no" then do not go any further, you don't want to work with that person.

Is a warranty included?
A good fence company uses quality materials and has a high level of expertise. Most reputable fence companies carry a one year workmanship warranty.  

GUIDE TO BUYING A FENCE
How to Hire a Fence Company
Think about the last time you purchased a car. Chances are you didn't go to the yellow pages, choose a dealership at random, and buy your car from the first lot you visited. Many times, though, this scenario describes the way homeowners find a fence company, they look in the phone book and call the company with the largest ad or the first one listed on the internet. But much like purchasing a car, finding a qualified fence company requires research and comparison shopping.

Ask Questions
Will they call the utility company to stake out buried lines?
Reputable fence companies will schedule with Dig Test as required by the State of Texas to have your property marked to identify underground utility lines.

Are they responsible for sprinkler heads?
Homeowners are usually responsible for marking or pointing out sprinkler heads and underground sprinkler lines, but always ask the fence company to be sure.

What are the requirements if I own a swimming pool?
If you own a swimming pool, there are special requirements that you will need to be aware of. This can be found on your city's website in the permits and inspections area.

How deep do you set your posts?
Posts should be set 2 to 3 feet deep and should always be set in concrete. As the fence height goes up, the posts should be set deeper for stability.

How far apart are the posts set from each other?
Generally, posts are set 7 ft apart for wood, 8ft for iron, and 10ft on chain link fences. Sagging can occur over time if posts are set too far apart.

What type of nails or screws will be used?
Galvanized ring-shanked nails are the most common, and do not come out or rust. Screws can be used, but require more time and labor, which will add costs to the project.

Ask For a Estimate
Invite fence contractors to look at the job and ask for an estimate in writing. In the quote also ask them to specify the time it will take to complete the job. Ask what their backlog looks like, how soon can they start and how long will it take to complete. Make sure the contractors are quoting on the same specifications - linear feet, like materials, posts, wood, stain, gates, etc.Execute a Contract
Execute a contract
specifying the work to be done, total cost, payment schedule, start date and estimated completion date. Make sure the contract specifies that the fence company is responsible for cleanup and the removal of your old fence.

Things to Look For in a Qualified Fence Company
There are a number of qualifications which can set a professional fence company apart.

Insurance:
Be sure that the prospective fence company you are considering is fully insured, having both workers' compensation and liability insurance. Your selected contractor should be able to provide you with a copy of his or her insurance policy.
