5 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Fence Installer in Indiana

Before signing on with any fence installer, it’s important to ask the right questions. Your fence should last 15–25 years - so take the time to choose the right professional for your project.

Here are the five essential questions Indiana homeowners should ask, with our perspective on how a quality contractor should answer.

1. Are You Licensed and Insured in Indiana?

✔ Why it matters: Protects you in case of property damage, injury, or code violations.
📍 Our answer: Yes - we’re fully licensed and insured for residential fence installation in Indiana.

2. Do You Handle Permits and HOA Submissions?

✔ Why it matters: Carmel and surrounding cities have fence rules. HOAs often require paperwork.
📍 Our answer: We pull permits and provide HOA-ready drawings and documentation at no charge.

3. What Materials Do You Recommend for My Yard?

✔ Why it matters: Different materials perform differently in Indiana’s soil and climate.
📍 Our answer: We assess slope, sun exposure, privacy needs, and your budget to recommend the right materials for your home and not just the most expensive.

4. Can You Show Me Examples of Past Work?

✔ Why it matters: You want to see clean lines, sturdy posts, and well-finished gates.
📍 Our answer: Absolutely. We’ll show you photos and may even refer you to a local project nearby.

5. What’s Your Warranty Policy?

✔ Why it matters: A good warranty reflects confidence in craftsmanship.
📍 Our answer: We offer a comprehensive labor warranty plus manufacturer warranties on materials.
