Do you want to know why getting your new fence can take several weeks to months? This blog post will explore the factors influencing your fence build’s timeline.
Step 1: Initiate Your Fence Build
Start your fence build with ease by using our user-friendly online estimate tool. This convenient tool allows you to map out your desired fence directly on an aerial view of your property, ensuring precise planning from the start. You’ll specify the fencing materials, choose the location of the gates, and provide us with all the details we need to begin crafting your personalized quote.
The tool will give you an initial estimate range based on the information you provided. This initial step sets the stage for a productive conversation about your fencing project, giving us a solid foundation to understand your needs and preferences.
Estimated time: You are in the driver’s seat for this step and can determine how long it takes!
Step 2: Design Your Fence
Once you’ve completed the online estimate tool, our A to Z Quality Fencing team takes the reins.
We meticulously review the information you provided, ensuring we understand your vision down to the last detail. Next, we reach out to you to dive deeper into your project. Whether you want to discuss a custom design or need expert advice on selecting the best fence materials, this step is about working together.
We address any questions or concerns and align our understanding with your expectations. Together, we’ll refine the details to ensure your new fence perfectly matches your needs and desires.
Estimated time: It can take several business days or more, depending on our schedules, the time of year, and the amount of design assistance needed. During our busy season, things stretch out a bit more. In addition, if you’re up in the air and need more assistance selecting materials and fence styles, that will stretch out the design timeline of your fence build, too.
Step 3: Final Quote & Contract
In this crucial step, A to Z Quality Fencing takes a hands-on approach to verifying all the requirements to bring your fence project to fruition. We may visit your location for a thorough walk-through, and we can figure out any special considerations, like utilities, tree trimming, or installation into concrete, that might affect the installation or materials ordered.
While we offer guidance on local regulations based on our extensive experience, you must verify these regulations and obtain any necessary permits.
After this onsite consultation, we present you with a comprehensive final quote and contract. Once the contract is signed, a 50% deposit is due to proceed with your dream fence project.
Estimated time: Depending on the time of year and your property location, scheduling your onsite consultation can take one to two weeks. Suppose it’s during our busy season, or you’re on the outer edges of our service area. In that case, fitting the consultation into our installers’ schedules takes some extra time.
In addition, consider having a survey conducted if you have questions about property boundaries and your permit before proceeding.
Finally, if you are pursuing financing, obtaining it may take some time, causing a delay in paying the 50% down payment.
Step 4: Manufacturing
Upon receipt of your 50% deposit, the next phase of your fence build begins. In this step, our sister company, A to Z Fence Supplies, orders the raw materials needed to create your custom fence and begins manufacturing. We craft each component to work flawlessly with our No Mess, No Dig Installation process, ensuring a seamless and efficient installation.
Estimated time: At the beginning of this step, your fence installation is, on average, 3 to 8 weeks away. This timeframe may be shorter or longer due to the following:
- Seasonal—Our installation schedule fills up faster when the weather is nice and people want to be outside.
- Materials—Obtaining raw materials can sometimes be complicated and result in delays. For example, due to global conditions beyond our control, we’re currently experiencing longer wait times for aluminum and colored vinyl (which could change tomorrow)!
Step 5: Fence Installation
The moment you’ve been waiting for has arrived! A to Z Quality Fencing will expertly install your custom fence using our revolutionary No Mess, No Dig Installation process. On average, you’ll have a beautiful, durable fence in 1 – 2 days without the hassle of disruptive digging and cleanup. With our method, you get a pristine fence that stands strong and looks stunning, all without the usual mess.
