What to Expect

You’ve made your deposit on a new fence, now what?

We know you are excited for your new fence installation, but there are a few steps in the process. There are many variables when it comes to fence installation, such as weather, permit approvals, material delays, and our schedule. For this reason, we are not able to give a definitive date of installation upon deposit. We try to give at least 24 hour notice before we begin installation after all the steps have been completed as detailed below.

Dislaimer: Timeframes may vary. Most installations take place within 30-45 days with some exceptions.

Please note the clock starts when the contract is signed, not when the deposit is given.

Step 1

CONTRACT SIGNATURE

Day 1-2

Sign the online agreement through Adobe Sign. Look out for the email in your junk folder. If you have questions about the document, please contact us directly to walk you through it.

Please ensure the payment form is filled out completely. This is important for final payment on the project.

Step 2

PLAT OF SURVEY SUBMITTAL

Day 1-4

Submit your plat of survey to us, if you haven’t already. This is used for the city permit. We handle the entire permit process on your behalf.

After you provide us with your plat of survey, we will send it back to you via email marked up for your approval. Once approved, it is sent directly to the city for their approval.

Step 3

MATERIAL ORDERING (IF APPLICABLE)

Day 3-5

If you have special order materials such as specialty vinyl, composite, or railing this is the point when your material will be placed on order. Material times can vary based on manufacturer.

Step 4

PERMIT SUBMITTAL

Day 5-10

We submit the permit to the village. Turnaround times may vary. Typical times are 1-2 weeks max. For unincorporated county permits, typical turnaround times are 4-8 weeks.

Step 5

SCHEDULE JULIE MARKINGS

Day 10-15

JULIE is called by us to mark your underground lines. Please ensure any private lines are disclosed and marked prior to us beginning work. JULIE will not mark any private sprinkler, drainage, or electrical lines.

Step 6

VERIFY JULIE MARKINGS

Day 15-30

Installation is almost ready! Once the JULIE flags are in your yard, please let us know. JULIE markings are only valid for 2 weeks so we will need to start the install, otherwise it will need to be remarked again.

Step 7

FINAL INSTALLATION

Day 30-45

Installation takes place if all the aforementioned steps have been completed. Once your installation is complete, final payment will be charged electronically. Now its time to enjoy your new fence!
