When you have a professional iron fence contractor make and install your custom iron fence, there are a couple of questions you should be asking them. These questions help determine whether the iron fence contractor is a good fit for the job, can make your fence installation process more enjoyable, and help you learn the best way to care for your fence for years to come. You should be welcomed to ask as many questions as necessary, but be sure to bring up these following topics at some point.

As a potential customer, you’ll likely be asking your iron fence contractor this question while you’re still looking around and vetting your options. The contractor should be more than happy to show you their past work and refer you to previous happy customers in a bid to earn your business. Plus, seeing pictures of their recent projects and hearing from others about their experience can help you make the smart decision on whether or not you can trust them to meet your satisfaction.
Some fence construction projects, like some residential or pool fences, will require you to obtain a permit from your local city hall before installation can begin. You should ask the iron fence contractor whether your project specifications will need a permit to build the fence, including considering the purpose of the new fence construction. Further, you should also determine who will be responsible for getting the necessary permission and paperwork: you or the contractor on your behalf.
Experienced contractors will have the knowledge to give you a close estimate as to how long your project will take until completion. They’ll be sure to factor in the time it takes to craft custom fences and lay out the timeline for the installation phase. Once they can offer you a realistic estimation for the completion date, get it in writing. The contractor knows they are held accountable to finish your project by that date.
The amount you pay will depend on the scope of your project and how much detail you want to add to your iron fence. However, an experienced contractor should be able to give you a close estimate. Better still, itemize every aspect of your project from materials to labor and any other types of incurred fees. You’re more likely to calculate the actual price and keep track of where your hard-earned money is being spent on your fence.
The best person to ask for tips and know-how on how to maintain your new iron fence is the contractor who built and installed it. They can show you how to fix minor issues on your own, such as cleaning up small rust spots and tightening a loose gate. These tips will go a long way in extending the lifespan of your new fence.

Fencing is one of the most accessible industries for start-up businesses and novice laborers to get into. For these people looking to make a few extra dollars installing fences, a shovel, a level, and a string line may be all they need.
As a result, there are many individuals or companies who show up in San Antonio Texas, install residential fences for a short time, and then disappear. We see it all the time. Beware! You only want to work with a fully licensed and insured fencing contractor in San Antonio Texas.
Here are some of the main pitfalls of working with non-professionals:
The Residential Fence Warranty is Void
If the individual or company that installed your residential fence is no longer in business, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless. Additionally, some manufacturers won't warranty their fence material if it was improperly installed or damaged during installation. Both situations are common with non-professionals.
The Fence Almost Certainly Won't Last As Long
As a professional fence company, our team of installers undergoes rigorous training and constant professional supervision. Our dedication to improving our skills, knowledge of the best fencing materials, and best fence installation techniques maximizes the strength and life of your fence. Companies that install fences as something they do "on the side" usually have no idea how much they don't know about residential fencing or what is best for you and your property.
Your Property May be at Risk
Installing residential fences in the San Antonio Texas area can be risky. Sudden, harsh weather during the fence installation can blow materials and damage your home. We've seen concrete splatter onto cars or drip down beautiful driveways or walkways as buckets of wet concrete are transported. Deep tire tracks sinking into your grass is another common issue. The secondary damage to homes and yards is common when untrained labor installs the fence.
Additionally, you are at risk if anyone gets hurt on your property while they are working. If you hire an unlicensed or uninsured contractor, you may be liable and your homeowner's insurance may deny payment!
At first glance, hiring a novice to install your fence may save you a few dollars, but in the long run, it is almost certainly a price you cannot afford to pay!

DIY Fence Estimate
If you'd like to get a rough idea on your own about how much fencing you will need, follow these easy steps:
Caution!
Aluminum fencing is often priced and sold by SECTIONS, not by linear feet! Even when the linear footage is included specifically in price estimates, the total number of sections is a factor in this pricing. So, price per linear foot is only a rough estimate and rarely represents the actual cost of the finished fence!
If you would love to explore and explain this difference, you can speak with one of our fence experts. Be aware that price per linear foot is a ploy many unprofessional fence installers in the San Antonio Texas area use!
Many small fence companies in San Antonio Texas install aluminum fencing. Very few specifically train their teams on the best installation techniques and practices for aluminum fencing. Unfortunately, this means that your aluminum fence is probably not installed as securely as it could be, which ultimately can reduce the quality and lifespan of your aluminum fence.
Using inferior installation techniques and improper tools can also damage the aluminum fence during installation, which may have the unfortunate impact of voiding the manufacturer's warranty since you chose an unqualified contractor not approved by the manufacturer.

There are three primary differences between residential fence and the kind of fence we do.
First, residential grade chain-link fence posts are made of tubing, while both commercial and industrial chain-link fence posts are pipe. For more on this, see the above answer about pipe and tubing.
Second, residential chain-link fence fabric is usually a higher gauge (smaller wire/larger diamond) wire, such as 11½, 12, or 13 gauge, while commercial and industrial is either 9 or 11½ gauge.
Third, a distinction can also be made in the method used to galvanize the wire. Residential fence is usually GBW, which means "galvanized before weaving." The problem with that process is that the wire scrapes together at each joint during the weaving process, which scrapes through some of the galvanized coating. Industrial and commercial grade fencing fabric is GAW, meaning "galvanized after weaving," which means the wire was hot-dipped in zinc after being woven into fence fabric. This process prevents rusting that the former process does not, which is why it carries a longer warranty than the former. It ensures long-term durability. Many residential fence installers are inexperienced and unfamiliar with basic commercial and industrial components, such as braces, truss rods, tension wire, barbed wire, drop rods, and box hinges.
Prices on vinyl fences are highly dependent on the amount of fencing you need as well as the exact style, height, and options you select.
We provide vinyl fencing quotes for free! us or give us a call and our team of friendly, experienced staff will be glad to walk you through the process and plan a consultation.
Important!
We encourage you to speak with one of our fence experts before focusing solely on price! There are cheaper, very poor quality vinyl fence brands available that are not nearly as durable, will fade, will often warp, and have limited, if any, warranty. We don't use them.
There are also very inexperienced and unprofessional fence installers who continually cut corners and don't stand behind their work, regardless of what their so-called warranty says.
Vinyl fences must stand up to the physical demands of the San Antonio Texas weather, and physical abuse from falling branches, landscapers, neighbors, animals, and more.
Shopping for the cheapest fence is generally not the best way to choose the fence you want to protect and beautify your home and the people you care about.
