Fence Contractors in Miami


When choosing a fence contractor in Miami, you have more choices than time to review them. So how do you select a fence contractor in Miami and know you're going to get a high-quality job for a reasonable price?

You don't want to discover you picked the wrong fence contractor in Miami at the end of the job. You don't want to discover the fence contractor underbid the job and halfway through demands more money. And you don't want to discover that the fence contractor in Miami took shortcuts, like not using approved materials, enough screws, or an unsafe finish.


Before you start calling fence contractors in Miami, have a detailed explanation of what you want. It's tough to get competitive bids on a project when there isn't a common item to bid on. If you can have a drawing of what you want constructed for the fence contractors, they’ll be able to give you a better estimate. If you have one fence contractor who is supposed to be amazing and they insist on a fee for the estimate and design consult, and if you're willing to have them give their two-cents-worth of input, be sure the fee gets applied to the job if you choose to use them.

When securing the estimates, ask about the timeframe from the date of contract to completion. Be sure they are responsible for all permits and that all permit fees are included in the price. The contract should clarify any question about who is responsible for permits, materials, bad weather delays, or anything else that may apply to your circumstance.

I'm sure you know to confirm that they fence contractor in Miami is licensed, insured, and bonded. If they employ workers, they have to be responsible for all wages due them, as well as workman's comp insurance. The contractor also has to agree to the removal of any liens, as well as repairing any damage caused by them or their workers.

Before you sign the contract, read it from beginning to end. If you aren't sure what you're reading, ask someone who knows how to read contracts. These are legally binding on both parties, and define who does what and when. Some people prefer to sign the contract and let the fence contractor do everything else. That's fine, but be sure to check up on the job, so you can understand what was done when it's all over.

If the fence contractor in Miami wants a deposit, it's not a bad idea to say that you will give an amount equal to the cost of the materials when they are on site, and then correlate the bill to the items. The reason is that if the fence contractor walks, you don't want to be out the money. Some unscrupulous fence contractors in Miami are unlicensed, demand payment up front, and partway through the job, say they didn't expect this or that, and the job will cost more. It's better to promise to increase their payment when it's all over than to give them money up front. Again, protect yourself.

Use good sense, do your homework, and you'll be pleased with the end result when you use a fence contractor in Miami. It doesn't have to be difficult; you just need to think it through.
