Fencing estimate FAQ
What should a fencing estimate include?
Linear footage, fence height and style, material and grade, post spacing and depth, concrete-set posts, gates with hardware, old fence removal, who locates utilities and confirms the property line, permit or HOA requirements, and a signature line. Boundary and utility questions belong on paper before the first post hole.
Who is responsible for the property line — me or the customer?
The customer. Put it in writing: the quote should state that the customer confirms the fence location and provides a survey if needed, and that relocation after install is billable. Fence contractors get dragged into neighbor disputes only when this line is missing from the signed scope.
How do I handle shared fences with a neighbor splitting cost?
Quote each party separately or name the paying party on one signed quote — never start on a verbal 'we'll split it.' Walk the line with the paying customer, get the style and price signed on site, and the neighbor drama stays out of your invoice.
