How to Go About Buying a Fence in Six Easy Steps

#Step 1: Define Your Purpose

The first step in buying a fence is understanding its purpose. Are you aiming for enhanced privacy, heightened security, or a beautiful aesthetic addition to your property? By clearly defining your goals, you set the foundation for selecting the most suitable type, style, and height for your fence.

#Step 2: Schedule a Consultation with Our Fencing Experts

Montco Fence makes the process of buying a fence easy for homeowners and businesses in-and-around Delaware County, Montgomery County, Chester County, Northampton County, Bucks County, and Berks County.  

Once you make an inquiry, one of our custom fence contractors will schedule an on-site consultation and arrive at the scheduled time promptly. Our team will meticulously inspect and measure the space.

We will listen to your vision, understand your requirements, and blend our expertise with your preferences to create a tailored fencing solution.

#Step 3: Tailored Design Proposal

From the insights gathered during the consultation, we will provide you with a detailed design proposal. This isn’t just a quote for buying a fence; it’s a roadmap that outlines the recommended fence style, material options, and a transparent cost estimate. At Montco Fence, we believe in upfront honesty – no hidden fees, no surprises.

#Step 4: Material Selection

Whether you’re drawn to the timeless charm of wood, the durability of vinyl, or the low-maintenance benefits of aluminum, our extensive selection ensures you end up buying the fence of your dreams.

#Step 5: Ensuring Confidence in Your Choice with Insurance and Warranty Coverage

When it comes to selecting a trustworthy fence company, ensuring that they are fully insured is paramount for your peace of mind. At Montco Fence, we are a fully insured and licensed contractor in Pennsylvania, always prepared to provide proof of insurance upon your request.

Regarding our craftsmanship, we proudly provide a 5-year warranty that covers a range of potential issues. This warranty encompasses concerns such as misaligned sections, an uneven appearance, any undone fencing segments, gate functionality problems, or fence leaning.

Montco Fence was great, I had fielded a couple of quotes from the area, and though they may not have been the cheapest, they worked with me on what I wanted and needed with some great recommendations. I was given multiple options of different styles from my guy Jim at Montco Fence as well, he was great to work with. The team that came in was great, respectful, timely and got everything done in about a day and 1/2. I think they hit some unexpected shale/rocks that took a little extra time. Everyone at HQ, over the phone, was helpful as well with questions and getting the billing set up. I'm very glad that, for an investment like this, I went with Montco Fence.

Start to finish they were very pleasant to work with, from Colin who came out and gave the estimate to the crew who worked at my house. They scheduled installation extremely fast from the time I got the quote and permit. The fence was installed in one day and I have a large property. Very happy with the finished product.
