What to Expect From a Fencing Visit

Site prep makes major exterior work go smoothly.

• Clear access to work areas (vehicles, lawn equipment, debris)
• Mark utilities if work involves digging (call 811 if contractor hasn't)
• Verify permit status if the work requires one
• Confirm any HOA or neighbor coordination needed
• Note where deliveries should be staged

Substantial exterior work starts with verification and setup.

• Introduction, credentials, and insurance certificate
• Site walkthrough confirming scope and any boundary concerns
• Verification of utility marking (if applicable)
• Material delivery and staging area setup
• Final written estimate before work begins

Standard practice for exterior trade work.

• Daily site cleanup keeping the property accessible
• Communication when hidden conditions surface (rot, drainage, settling)
• Permits posted and inspections scheduled if required
• Updated estimate if scope changes materially
• Photo documentation of work in progress (especially anything that will be covered)

Final inspection, debris removal, and warranty.

• All materials, debris, and equipment removed from site
• Final walkthrough confirming scope items completed
• Inspection (if required) scheduled or completed
• Itemized invoice and warranty documentation
• Care and maintenance instructions for the new installation
