We signed a contract with Long Fence in May to install a deck for us; the time given to start the project was 10-12 weeks and 10-12 day project completion from when we signed the contract. Well, the project didn't start until weeks after the timeframe given, and it is still going on four weeks so far when we were given a 2-week timetable at most. The project started horribly; the plans that were drawn up conflicted with each other. The installers initially tore up my yard because the one site plan was inverted and in conflict with another site plan. We had to go out and stop them because they were not doing it correctly. We have had installers come out and barely work a few hours and then don't come back for days and work that failed inspections. The assigning of contractors to work on this project has been horrible because there is a 2-week gap between when the main work is done to when the final electrical work is done. How was this not scheduled in a manner that wouldn't leave weeks-long gaps in the project? The communication with Long Fence has been horrible, we would call and ask about the status of the project, and it's supposed to be nearing the end of the project, and we are told that it should only be two more weeks total. Then to be notified by Long Fence that, oh, we don't have the electrical work scheduled for another two weeks. The lies abound with them; we would call and be transferred to the person we needed to talk to, only to be told by the person that we needed to be transferred to someone else. Then the same person we needed to talk to called back and gave us an update. Communication with this company is horrible, and the contractors they hire to complete projects are subpar. In the beginning, they are attentive and very considerate. However, once they receive your money, they will become distant and ignore the needs and deadlines of your project. After spending considerable money with Long Fence, we will NEVER use this company again for anything.

Long Fence Did an exceptional job installing my privacy vinyl fence. Mr. Steve Cooper did a wonderful job keeping me informed throughout the process even going the extra mile making sure I had the correct fence caps. Thank you. Sandra Gibson

Determine your fence style and materials based on your needs and your home’s architecture. Will the fence be purely an aesthetic landscaping feature? Are you looking for absolute privacy? Will it be used to control access to a pool, protect the children’s play area or prevent your dog from escaping? Your answers will go a long way in determining what type of fence is best for you.
Time required is extremely variable. What materials will you be using? Chain link, for instance, installs faster than wood. How much space are you enclosing with the fence? Is the terrain flat and unobstructed? Wooded? Rugged? Into what kind of soil will you be placing posts? (Rocks take extra time and effort.) Installing a fence, particularly digging the holes, can be very strenuous work, particularly for a long fence and in rocky soil.
Contact your local utility companies to help you determine the location of underground gas, water and power lines. The service is usually free.
Discuss your intentions with your immediate neighbors. They may be considering a similar project, in which case you might be able to pool your resources and share the costs of a dividing fence.
Check with your HOA to be sure there are no restrictions on fence installation or if there are style guidelines in effect for your community.
You should locate your plat to determine your property lines. You will want to be sure the fence lies within the confines of your own property. If you are not sure of your property’s boundaries, a lot stake out is recommended.
Yes, but your existing structure must pass local building codes.
We have three different options for decking: treated wood with stabilizers, composite or vinyl. All three products offer benefits to the homeowner depending on their lifestyle, budget and individual preferences.
Our standard installation is to keep the deck floor below the door threshold to prevent moisture from “wicking” into the doorframe and causing rot. We will, however, build a deck tight to the threshold when instructed by a homeowner or in applications that require full accessibility.
Adding a fence to enclose all or part of the yard, or a deck or patio to your residential property will, in most cases, add to the value of the property upon appraisal or assessment.
The sales associate should leave their business card and their contact numbers and email address with the proposal. Or you may contact us and we will put you in touch with your sales associate.
Every job is different and many factors can determine its completion date, but once we start your job, we will keep you informed of its progress until its completion.
Your salesperson should provide you with an estimated start date. Jobs cannot be started until all necessary permits have been obtained and Miss Utility has been called. Once the permits are obtained and the property is marked, you will be notified of your installation date. Weather can also be a factor in determining the start date of a job. If you are ever uncertain about your installation date, please contact your sales associate for clarification.
We utilize both. Most of our subcontractors have been with us for at least five years. The installation manager determines the best crew for the job. If you ever have a concern about installation, please contact us.
Long® Fence is required by law to contact Miss Utility prior to starting any job. Underground utilities need to be marked on the property where the job will be installed in order to prevent damage or injury during installation.
No, unless there are specific community rules or zoning ordinances, a fence is typically installed just inside the property line.
While we are not surveyors, we can order surveys in most areas at a reasonable cost.
No. Long® Fence obtains all necessary permits. Variances are the customer’s responsibility.
We furnish and install fencing and related perimeter security products such as gates, bollards, railings, guardrails and access control systems. We also furnish and install decks, related structures, hardscaping and irrigation systems. We provide service to residential and commercial clients.
