INSTALL TIMELINE GUIDE
Much of a fence project happens before the first post goes in. Here’s each step from your free estimate to the final walk-through, and what can speed it up or slow it down.
QUICK ANSWER
It depends on your project. Fence length, gates, slope, old fence removal, permits and weather all change the timeline, and the steps before install day, like permit or HOA approval, can take longer than the build itself. We’ll walk you through the schedule for your yard at your free on-site estimate.
