Fencing FAQ

No. Fences.co is a nationwide marketplace for fence work. Homeowners and property managers post a job request; independent fence companies join the network to receive them as structured job briefs. We don't build fences ourselves.

No. Requesting quotes is free, and you're never obligated to hire anyone. Operators in the network are the ones who pay to receive job requests.

You can submit a request from anywhere in the US. The network is new and still being built, so coverage varies by ZIP code. If no operator covers your area yet, we'll say so, try to connect you anyway, and can notify you when one joins.

Often. Many cities require one for new fences and limit height and placement, and HOAs add their own rules. Check before you sign, and ask the installer who pulls the permit.

Licensing for fence contractors varies by state and city, and many cities require a permit for a new fence. We don't guarantee any operator's license. Once operators join, we'll check licenses where they're required and show the date we checked.

Material, a rough length and height, gates, the ground along the fence line, and whether an old fence comes out. Photos help a lot.

Tell us about your company and service area on the For fence companies page. We'll follow up about how the network works and what it costs before you receive any jobs.

We use your information to handle your request and share it with the operator we route it to. See our Privacy Policy for details.

It depends on your area and on demand. We don't promise response times.

Post holes can hit buried utility lines. A free 811 locate request marks them before digging; most installers place it, so ask.
