How the marketplace works for operators
- Homeowners request jobs. They describe the work on Fences.co by ZIP and service.
- We turn it into a job brief. The request is structured the way an estimator would want it, not just a name and a phone number.
- The brief goes to a matching operator. It's routed to an operator in the network who covers that ZIP and does that service, not blasted to a list of companies.
- You quote and do the work directly. The job, and payment for it, are between you and the customer.
What's in a job brief
- ZIP code and matched town
- Service type and timing
- Property type
- Material, rough length, and height
- Gates
- Ground along the fence line (flat, sloped, roots or rock)
- Existing fence: remove, keep, or none
- Pool barrier, pets, HOA, property-line, shared-fence, or storm-damage flags
- A short description in the homeowner's words
- Photos, when provided
- Contact details and consent to be contacted
Pricing and fees
Operators, not homeowners, pay to receive job requests. We haven't published pricing yet. We'll go over fees with you before you receive any job, and sending the interest form costs nothing.
Why a national brand just for fence work
General marketplaces treat fencing like any chore and sell the same lead to several companies. A fence quote turns on details: material, length, height, gates, slope, and whether an old fence comes out. A brand that only does fences asks those up front.
Licenses and insurance
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.
What we won't do
- Invent reviews, ratings, or badges for anyone.
- Show a license or insurance mark we haven't checked ourselves.
- Pretend you have an office in towns you don't serve.
- Promise homeowners start dates on your behalf.

Operator FAQ
What is Fences.co?
A nationwide marketplace that's only for fencing. Homeowners and property managers submit job requests by ZIP code and service; we route them to fence companies in the network who cover that area and do that kind of work.
Who pays?
Homeowners don't pay to request quotes. Operators pay to receive job requests. We haven't published pricing; we'll go over it with you before you receive any jobs, and filling in the interest form doesn't commit you to anything.
What kinds of jobs come through?
Residential and light commercial requests for new fences, repairs, and gates. You choose which services, materials, and areas.
Is the network already live in my area?
Probably not yet. The network is new. We're collecting interest from fence companies now and will be upfront about how much request volume an area has before you commit.
Do you check licenses?
Yes, once you join: we'll ask for any license your state or city requires and proof of insurance, check them, and show the date we checked.
