Professional Installation
When a decision is made to have a fence installed on your property there are many factors to consider, including:
Is the fence legal?
- Is the height within legal limits
- Is the fence BOCA code compliant (for swimming pools)
- Sufficient set backs, especially on corner properties
Permits:
Usually come from the township and requires the fence company to have various insurances and occupational licenses.
Environmental and community friendly installion
- Are there any issues related to blocking sun or wind?
- Is there a requirement for a "neighbor friendly" style where both sides look alike?
Property Lines
Only a licensed surveyor can pin or mark your property lines for a legal certification.
- Fence City will always follow pins
- We usually set the fence 6 inches inside the property line (to ensure that the fence belongs to you)
- Fence follows the contour of the property
Is the fence legal?

Posts
Post holes on every type of fence, even wood, should be filled to near top with concrete, several inches left for top grass to grow.
Grade
Only a professional fence installer knows how to make adjustments in the field to make a fence pleasing to the eye. If the ground looks level, it's not, as the rain water must go somewhere. A so-called "flat property" could change in elevation 3 feet from front to back yard.
Warranty
Fence City warrants the fence for one year for the labor and each material has its own time limit. Aluminum fences have a lifetime guarantee.
