A fence can be a big investment, but a worthwhile one. Whether it’s for security, privacy, or perimeter protection, a well designed and constructed fence offers innumerable benefits. However, the home or business owner has the task of weighing up several different factors before making an informed buying decision.
The most important question is who to choose to do the job? This can get confusing if you have several contractors giving you quotes that vary wildly. However choosing a fencing contractor doesn’t have to be a daunting task. While not all fencing contractors can offer the same benefits, there are 3 key factors that make the job of choosing a fencing contractor easy.
Reputation
No matter how rich you are, you can’t buy a good reputation, it must be earned. And thanks to the internet, it’s pretty easy to gauge what previous customers think of a fencing contractor. Sydney based companies generally feature on websites like wordofmouth.com.au and truelocal.com.au. Both websites offer independent reviews from customers who have paid for their services. Some of the best authorities on any contractor are their previous clients.
A reputable fencing contractor will be able to provide you with a list of satisfied clients upon request. They should also show you some testimonials regarding their past work and can even give you references of customers they’ve left satisfied before. Be very wary of any fencing contractors who are unable or unwilling to provide you with references. For more information about who we are and our experienced team go the About Us page on our website.
Experience
Every service-orientated fencing contractor with an internet presence boasts of experience at some point on their website. Some companies will specify exactly how many years they have been in business. In general, the longer a business has been operating, the better their customer service will likely be. An experienced fencing contractor is more likely to get the job finished quickly and within budget.
A good website will give you an indication of whether the contractor is experienced in the type of project that you need them for. You can get an idea from their website as to who the management team is, how long the company has been in business and what their service area is. It also helps to find out if the company has a specialty in repairing the type of fence you are having installed and if they offer after sales care.
Materials
The use of quality materials that have a long-term guarantee will ensure the longevity of your fence and is vitally important when selecting a contractor. Take a look at some of their equipment and vehicles if possible. Look for equipment and vehicles that are in good condition and workable. A high quality fencing contractor will take the time to ensure that their vehicles and equipment are taken care of and maintained.
