Frequently asked questions

Most residential fences are completed in 1 to 3 days, depending on length, terrain, and the material you choose. A standard backyard privacy fence on level ground usually takes two days, while larger commercial perimeters or gates with automation can take longer. We give you a clear timeline before we start and keep the site clean each evening.

In most Alabama cities and towns, a fence permit is required before installation, and setback rules can vary by neighborhood. We confirm the local regulations for your property before work begins and guide you through what is needed — many projects only require a simple residential permit. Utility locates are handled on our end so digging is always safe.

Vinyl and aluminum last the longest with the least maintenance — both routinely hold up 25 years or more without painting or sealing. Cedar and treated pine can also last 15 to 25 years in Alabama when the posts are set in concrete and the wood is stained every few years. Chain link is a solid budget pick, with galvanized mesh lasting 20 to 30 years.

Yes — every estimate is completely free, and there is no obligation to move forward. We come to your property, measure the fence line, discuss materials and gate options, and give you a written quote with a clear price per linear foot. You get honest pricing up front with no pressure and no hidden fees.

We can build close to your property line, but we strongly recommend confirming the exact boundary with a survey first, especially if your home has never been surveyed or neighbors already have fences. Building on the wrong side of the line can lead to disputes and removal costs. If you do not have a survey, we can discuss your options during the free estimate.
