FAQs

Yes! Fence Boys is fully licensed and carries comprehensive insurance. We’re happy to share specific details if you need them for your records.

Visit our locations page for complete service area coverage across Central Ohio.

We back our work with material-specific warranties: Pressure-Treated Wood carries a 30-day warranty, Western Red Cedar a 1-year material and labor warranty, and Vinyl & Aluminum a 1-year labor warranty.

Absolutely. Browse our gallery and read what neighbors say in our testimonials.

Contact us immediately if issues arise. Coverage depends on your fence type’s warranty. We’ll evaluate whether it falls under warranty and schedule any necessary repairs. Some things aren’t covered, like damage from storms, accidents, or improper use.

We specialize in three proven options: Aluminum (modern look, virtually maintenance-free), Wood (classic appeal, natural beauty, versatile styles), and Vinyl (weather-resistant, durable, minimal upkeep). Visit our services page for detailed comparisons.

Aluminum wins this category — no rot, no rust, no painting ever. The trade-off? Aluminum provides the least privacy.

The Fence Boys goal is 20-30 years of reliable service. Actual lifespan depends on material choice, maintenance habits, and environmental factors.

Plan for 1-3 days with our crew on-site. Most residential projects complete within this timeframe.

Our baseline is 4-6 weeks from down payment to completion. This timeframe shifts based on specialty material availability, permit processing, and seasonal demand. Spring and summer typically see longer lead times.

Here’s the reality: Fence Boys cannot guarantee specific installation deadlines. Weather, permits, and material availability create variables beyond our control. We’ll do everything possible to accommodate your timeline and keep you informed throughout the process.

HOA approval remains the homeowner’s responsibility — we cannot communicate with your HOA on your behalf. What we can do: provide detailed proposal layouts and specifications that support your application process.

Depends entirely on your neighborhood’s regulations. The good news? We handle this process for you.

Yes, we’d love to have you there during installation — especially when we kick things off. Can’t stick around the whole time? No problem, just try to be there at the start so we can address any questions together.

We offer flexible removal options: complete removal and haul-away service, or removal only where you handle disposal. Note: we don’t haul away fences that are already removed.

This one’s on you as the homeowner — but we’ve got resources to help. Check your property survey or consider hiring a surveyor if you’re unsure about boundaries.

We handle the 811 utility marking request. Your responsibility: mark any private underground utilities like irrigation systems, invisible dog fences, landscape lighting, or private electrical lines.

Safety comes first. We keep at least 18 inches away from all marked utility lines. Need to get closer? We can bring in hydro-vac digging services where available (this does add to the cost, but it’s worth it for safety).

We use professional methods suited to your property: gas-powered augers for efficiency, hand digging when precision matters, and we always work to minimize yard disruption.

Choosing the perfect fence means thinking through a few key things: your budget and any financing needs, your main goal (privacy, keeping pets safe, curb appeal), kids and pets using the yard, what your neighborhood allows, and how much maintenance you’re up for.

Preparation ensures you get exactly what you want — ask about materials, timeline, permits, warranty, and payment schedule during your estimate appointment.

Proper preparation prevents delays: clear the fence line of furniture, toys, and debris, mark any private utilities not covered by 811, and secure pets during work hours.

We install year-round, but timing matters. Spring/Summer offer ideal weather but the longest lead times due to high demand. Fall/Winter mean faster scheduling and often perfect installation conditions. If you have a specific deadline, start the process 2-3 months in advance.

Typically 5 days — material costs fluctuate frequently. Specialty materials may have shorter validity periods. Always confirm with your salesperson.

Rarely. Price adjustments only occur with unforeseen conditions requiring significant additional labor, like underground rock or concrete, hidden utility complications, or major grade changes not visible during estimation. We’ll always discuss any changes before proceeding.

Projects start at $2,000, which covers both materials and labor. Your actual cost depends on fence size, material choice, and site conditions. Every yard is different — schedule your free quote to get exact pricing for your specific project.

Yes — your first estimate is always free. We’ll visit your property once to assess your needs and provide a detailed quote. If you need multiple site visits or design revisions, we can discuss appropriate arrangements.

We’ve made payment easy and flexible: credit card (online payment available), check by mail, ACH transfer when needed, or cash under certain conditions. We ask for a down payment to secure your spot, with the final payment due when we finish your project.
