A fence is the one thing on a property that everybody sees and nobody measures. Three hundred feet of it will follow every dip in the ground and every bend in a property line, and both of those stay visible from the street for as long as the fence stands.
Almost everything that decides how it turns out happens before any digging: the survey line, the association submittal, and the utility locate. Get those three wrong and the fence comes out crooked, gets rejected after it is up, or finds an irrigation main with a post hole.
- Aluminum fence and gate installation
- Vinyl and PVC fence installation
- HOA and ARC submittal: style, height, color and setback
- Layout set from the survey line, not from the neighbor’s fence
- Utility locate before any excavation
- Gate posts, adjustable hinges and latch alignment
- We do not survey the property. The line comes from your survey — if there is not one, that comes first
- We do not decide a boundary. If it is disputed with a neighbor, that gets settled before we set a post
- We do not dig before the locate is marked on the ground. It is free and it is required
The line comes from the survey
Not from the neighbor’s fence and not from where the grass stops. A string is run the full length, the post centers are marked off that string, and the setback is read from the survey before anything is ordered.
The submittal goes in before the order
Style, height, color and setback go to the association first. A fence installed and then rejected comes down at somebody’s cost, and that is the most expensive way to find out what the covenant says.
Utilities located and marked
Free, required, and the reason a post hole does not find an irrigation main or a power drop. Nothing is dug until the marks are on the ground.
Posts set, plumbed and left to cure
Holes to the depth and diameter that the post size and the soil call for, posts set in concrete and plumbed on two faces, and the concrete left to cure before a single panel is hung.
Panels racked to the grade, gates last
Panels follow the ground where it falls and step at a wall. Gate posts go deepest, leaves hang on adjustable hinges to an even reveal, latches are aligned to catch on the swing, and both gates are cycled before anyone leaves.
Your association needs a submittal
Style, height, color, setback and a site plan. We prepare it; you sign it.
The ground is not flat
A racked panel follows the grade; a stepped one does not. Which one a run needs is decided on site, not on a drawing.
The run meets something else
A house wall, a retaining wall, an existing screen enclosure. Terminal posts go there — a fence is never fixed into an enclosure frame.
- Your survey, if you have one
- The association’s architectural guidelines, or who to ask for them
- Roughly how many linear feet, and where you want the gates
- Whether a neighbor shares the line
Which areas of Florida do you work in?
Home counties are Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Lake and Polk. We have delivered projects in Orlando, Jacksonville, Tampa, St. Petersburg and Gainesville, and we travel for commercial and occupied-facility work.
How long does an estimate take?
One business day for a response, and a full estimate as soon as the scope is defined. If we cannot hit your bid date we tell you the same day instead of going quiet.
What if something fails after you finish?
Our work carries a one-year limited workmanship warranty: if something we installed fails because of the way we installed it, we come back and fix it. Materials keep their manufacturers’ own warranties, which are usually longer. It has exclusions, and they are the usual ones — misuse, accidents, storms, settlement, missed maintenance, and work done by someone else after we hand over. On commercial and occupied-facility scopes the warranty is the one written into the contract.
