How To Find a Reputable Fence Installation Company

If your area was not listed above or you are still looking for a great fence installation company in your city or town, read on to see some tips on finding a reputable installation company. Finding a great fence installation company doesn’t have to take up all of your time – it just takes knowing what to look for, and what not to look for. Here are some red flags that may turn up when working with a poor fencing company:

• Too many delays or not showing up on time/at all
• Using the wrong materials and refusing to fix or charging extra for their mistakes
• Ignoring your contract
• Inappropriate behaviour such as foul language, ignoring building codes, and/or ignoring Bylaws
• Poor workmanship

You can avoid these common problems by hiring a reputable chain link installation company. Here are some ways to find a great one:

Read Online Reviews

Online reviews like Google Reviews, HomeStars, House, and Facebook reviews are becoming increasingly popular. Reading what others in your community have to say about a company is one step to help you determine how reputable a company is. Keep in mind that there will always be negative reviews, no matter how great or reputable a company is. As attractive as a 5-star review is, it’s important to actually read through some of the reviews and see what customers have actually said and why they chose to give a certain rating. A company that has a 5-star rating but only three reviews may be less reputable than a company with a 4.3 star rating and 25 reviews.

Talk To Your Neighbours and Friends

Word of mouth is a great way to find out if a company is right for you. If you see a great fence on your street, talk to your neighbours and ask who the installer was. If you feel comfortable, you can even ask for a brief review and look up the company online. Relying on word of mouth alone may not the best idea, but if you hear great things about a company from a reliable friend and see online these results were not isolated, it’s a good indication that this is a good fence installation company.

Call The Better Business Bureau (Or Look Them Up Online)

A great way to get a feel for the company is to search online for or call the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Using the BBB, you can find out what the company is rated and how old the company is. You can also see if there have been any complaints against the company (and if so, how the company handled each complaint). You can also see how active they are in your community. You can check out Jay Fencing’s BBB page here!

Ask To See a Portfolio of Previous Work

Your new potential fence installer should not only be willing but also excited to show you past work they’ve done. If they are hesitant, reluctant, or show you only one picture or two, that is a big red flag. If you are looking at a company’s website, you should be able to find lots of pictures or galleries of previous work – and the pictures should be large enough for you to at least see some detail. Exclusively tiny, fuzzy, or missing pictures may be a bad sign.

Check Out Their Website

There’s nothing wrong with using stock images on any website – but trying to pass off stock images or uncredited images as your own? That’s a different story. As mentioned in the point above, a reputable company will have lots of their own images, either taken by customers and sent along to the company or taken by the company themselves. If you feel like something is off or suspect a company has been stealing images, do a quick reverse image search on Google. A reputable company will never lie about their work.
