Those planning to hire a fence contractor or company for their springtime fence installation have less work ahead of them than property owners who plan to take a DIY approach.
With winter finally over in Maryland, many property owners are considering completing home improvement projects, including installing new fences. Those planning to hire a fence contractor or company for their springtime fence installation have less work ahead of them than property owners who plan to take a DIY approach. However, there are still considerations before getting started.
Consider the Fence Application
For those who lack an existing fence, it’s vital to consider the intended application before hiring a fence company for installation. Do you prioritize privacy or want a springtime fence installation to keep pets and children from running amok? Will plants be growing around it? Will the fence need to be painted to complement the property’s décor?
Answering these questions will help determine the appropriate materials and give property owners an idea of what to discuss with their fencing companies. Many fencing types are available, so it’s essential to consider where the fence will go and its expectations. This ensures that it complements the owner’s lifestyle and the property’s existing features.
Talk to Your Neighbors
Any property owner who doesn’t have an existing fence should take some time to talk to the neighbors to allow them to know the following:
- The placement of the fence
- The fence appearance after the project is done
- Expectation of contractors to begin installation work before starting the project
Furthermore, it’s only polite to inform the neighbors because some might be offended if a new fence is directly next to their property lines with no notice. If you are still determining where your property lines lie, make sure to check the documentation of your land’s boundaries to ensure they are not invading their neighbor’s properties.
Research Fencing Materials
Selecting the suitable material for your springtime fence installation is the hardest part of the process. Of course, choosing a material is a personal preference. However, it may help to learn slightly about the pros and cons of varying fencing materials and consult a fencing professional with any questions before making a final decision.
