Choosing a Fencing Contractor
Savannah Fence & Entry Systems is the right company to count on for all of your needs. Our factory-trained technicians strive to work for all of our customers and provide them with a product that best suits their needs. Choosing a credible and reliable fencing contractor can be difficult. That's why we have put together pertinent information you should know or questions you should ask before selecting a professional fencing contractor.
Knowing that the fencing contractor is licensed and has worked in your area for at least five consecutive years and been in business for over five years, doing business under their current name, shows stability and credibility. Being bonded and insured is also an important factor when making your selection.
Request a written copy of a Contractor’s insurance policy.
Be sure they have a policy which covers the following:
- Inland Marine
- Commercial General Liability
- Commercial Automobile
- Workman’s Compensation
- Commercial Umbrella
This protects you, the customer, as well as the contractor.
A quality and experienced fencing contractor should be able to provide you with fence details showing concrete footings, posts size and weight, accessories, gate frame size, and weight. Also, a fencing contractor that custom builds their own gates, offers you a manufacturers warranty on all materials, uses the notch and weld process in gate construction, owns portable welders for field repairs, offers you maintenance services for gate operating systems, and who will supply, install, and maintain gate operating systems is the definition of a quality fencing contractor who strives to provide their customers with quality services, products, and materials.
Before you seal the deal, make sure you ask the fencing contractor, Does the Price Quoted For You Include End Posts, Corner Posts, Gate Posts, and Gates? Includes Pipe Posts and Rail, Rather Than Tubing Posts and Rail? Is the Price Quoted For You a Turnkey Price with No Surprise Expenses (additional) Later? Will you be provided with a Lien Release After Job Completion? Will you be serviced After the Sale? If you are still unsure about making your final selection, ask the fencing contractor if they have referrals from past customers.
