Many homeowners decide to install their own fences, but in most cases, the project turns out to be more overwhelming than it looked before the first post hole was dug out. Fence installation can also take very long, especially if you are doing it all by yourself and without experience in designing and executing fences and chances are that the results will be less than perfect.

Fortunately, there are lots of great Thornton gate and fence contractors out there who can hardly wait for your call – here is how to find a contractor who does a great job for a great price:

• Get multiple cost estimates for your fencing project – invite at least three contractors to see the future job site and then request a detailed estimate in writing. Choose the fence and gate contractor whose prices are the most reasonable, not the cheapest one – reducing the price too much will prevent the contractor from using quality materials;
• Ask all your questions – the method that the contractor will use for revealing hidden underground utilities, the way he is planning to do the grading or to incorporate obstacles, such as trees, are all essential for your final decision;
• Discuss the deadlines – most fencing companies have huge backlogs, so try to get at least a promise about the starting date for the fencing project.
