Question 2

Do you offer financing?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we work with trusted lending partners to offer flexible financing options, including low monthly payments and promotional 0% APR periods for qualified buyers.

Question 3

When is payment due?

Accepted Answer

We typically require a 50% deposit to secure your place on our schedule and order materials. The remaining balance is due upon completion and your final walkthrough.

Question 4

Do I need a permit?

Accepted Answer

Most municipalities require a permit for fences over 6 feet tall, or fences located on corner lots. We will advise you on the specific requirements for your city and can handle the permit process for you.

Question 5

Do you handle HOA approvals?

Accepted Answer

While the homeowner must officially submit the request to their HOA, we provide all the necessary documentation, specifications, and drawings needed to get your fence approved quickly.

Question 6

Who marks the utility lines?

Accepted Answer

We will contact 811 to locate and mark all public utilities (gas, electric, public water) before we dig. Homeowners are responsible for marking private lines like sprinkler systems, invisible dog fences, or private lighting.

Question 7

Do I need to find my property pins?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It is the homeowner's responsibility to know their property lines. If you are unsure, we highly recommend hiring a surveyor before installation begins to avoid encroaching on your neighbor's land.

Question 8

How deep do you set your posts?

Accepted Answer

In Colorado, the frost line dictates depth. We dig our posts 30 to 36 inches deep (depending on the fence height) and set them in wet-mixed concrete to prevent frost heave and wind blow-overs.

Question 9

Can you install in the winter?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We build fences year-round. As long as the ground isn't frozen solid for feet on end, our equipment can break through the frost layer to set posts properly.

Question 10

What is the best fence for high wind?

Accepted Answer

For high-wind areas along the Front Range, we recommend Shadowbox wood fences (which allow wind to pass through), chain link, or ornamental iron. If you want solid privacy, Vinyl with aluminum rail inserts or strongly reinforced Cedar are required.

Question 11

Wood vs. Vinyl: Which is better?

Accepted Answer

Wood offers a natural, traditional look but requires staining every 2-3 years. Vinyl costs more upfront but requires zero maintenance and won't rot, splinter, or fade.

Question 12

Why do you recommend Cedar over Pine?

Accepted Answer

Pressure-treated pine holds a lot of moisture. In Colorado's dry climate, it dries out too fast, causing severe warping and twisting. Cedar is naturally rot-resistant and remains much more dimensionally stable.

Question 13

How do I maintain my wood fence?

Accepted Answer

We recommend applying a high-quality UV-protectant stain or sealer 3-4 weeks after installation (to let the wood dry), and re-applying every 2 to 3 years.

Question 14

Do you tear out and haul away old fences?

Accepted Answer

Yes, full tear-out and haul-away services are included in your quote if requested. We leave your yard clean.

Question 15

Can you fix just a broken gate?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer repair services. Sagging gates are common; we can rebuild them with proper cross-bracing and heavy-duty hardware.

Question 16

Do you build commercial security fences?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We install heavy-gauge chain link, crash-rated gates, and high-security iron fencing for commercial and industrial clients.
