Fencing Estimates Are Not Equal

When it comes to fencing, many homeowners in Davenport start by collecting estimates. It seems simple: compare prices, pick the cheapest, and save money. But here’s the truth—not all fencing estimates are created equal. A low price up front may cost you far more in repairs, replacements, and frustration down the road.

At Stand Strong Fencing, we believe you deserve more than just a number on a piece of paper—you deserve clarity, quality, and confidence in your investment.

What’s Hiding Behind the Lowest Price?

If you’ve ever gotten wildly different estimates from fencing companies, you might wonder why. The answer lies in what’s included (and what’s not). Here are some common shortcuts that make “cheap” estimates look good at first—but cause big problems later:

• Inferior Materials 
  Some companies use lower-grade wood, thin vinyl, or untreated posts that can warp, rot, or crack within a few years.
• Shallow Posts 
  Proper fencing requires posts set deep in concrete to withstand Iowa’s freeze/thaw cycles. Cutting corners here saves time and money—but results in leaning, shifting fences.
• Hidden Fees 
  Watch for “extras” not listed in the estimate: old fence removal, gate hardware, staining, or cleanup. What looks cheap up front can balloon quickly.
• Unskilled Labor 
  Cheaper estimates often mean untrained crews or rushed work. That leads to uneven panels, sagging gates, and weak structures.

Comparing Apples to Apples

Here’s how to compare fencing estimates fairly:

1. Ask About Materials – What grade of wood or vinyl? How thick are the posts and rails? Treated or untreated?
2. Check the Depth – How deep are posts set? Are concrete footings included?
3. Look for Hidden Costs – Is cleanup included? Old fence removal? Gate hardware?
4. Evaluate the Warranty – Does the company stand behind their work, or do they disappear after installation?
5. Consider Reputation – Look at reviews, referrals, and local experience. The lowest bid isn’t worth much if the company vanishes in two years.

An Investment That Pays Off

A fence is more than just a project—it’s an investment in your home’s value, safety, and curb appeal. Paying a little more up front for quality workmanship and materials saves you from costly repairs and early replacements later.
