Great job. I highly recommend Long Fence

Update as of September 20, 2022: My review here was seen by Long Fence. A representative reached out to me directly, and as of today the damaged gate from installation was replaced entirely. Thank you! Overall experience was pretty good. The sales consultant was very informative of the options, gave suggestions on the logistics of installing a 6' vinyl privacy fence with my yard layout, and provided an estimate on availability and costs within hours. Setting up the loan with a down payment was painless, and installation of the fence began within the expected timeframe with no delays. The only issue I had was with the contractors used for the installation. Overall they did a great job with getting the fence installed; however, my wife noticed an incorrect measurement that was visually obvious, but they insisted was correct until actually shown it, and they left the job incomplete for several days without any notice until I reached out to Long Fence to ask what the hold up was. Additionally, they made a mistake when attaching the hinges to the gate which left numerous holes in it. When I pointed this out, they claimed they'd come back to plug the holes, but after nearly a month they still have not done so (I didn't really expect that they would). What I will give them a lot of credit for is that they discovered a mistake when adding the second gate and redid a section of the fence in order to fix it rather than cut corners or leave it to be discovered later.

Very professional and patient. I had to change some things and there was no attitude just wanting to do it right.

We had a wonderful experience with Long Fence. Our salesperson, Jason Smith was great to work with. Attentive to our calls and emails. The team that showed up to install we professional, quick and paid a lot of attention to the work they were doing. Consulted with us when they arrived and then got to work right away. We love our new fence and gate.

Questions & Answers

How much time will the installation take?

Long Fence | Sep 18, 2022
Long Fence | Sep 18, 2022

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.

What type of fence will match my house?

Long Fence | Sep 2, 2022
Long Fence | Sep 2, 2022

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.

Where are my underground lines?

Long Fence | Aug 3, 2022

Contact your local utility companies to help you determine the location of underground gas, water and power lines. The service is usually free.

Should I tell my neighbors about the project?

Long Fence | Jul 4, 2022
Long Fence | Jul 4, 2022

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.

Does the new fence fall within my HOA guidelines?

Long Fence | Jun 4, 2022
Long Fence | Jun 4, 2022

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.

Is my fence within my property lines?

Long Fence | May 5, 2022
Long Fence | May 5, 2022

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.

Can a sunroom or screened porch be built on my existing structure, such as my deck or concrete patio?

Long Fence | Jan 5, 2022
Long Fence | Jan 5, 2022

Yes, but your existing structure must pass local building codes.

What type of deck boards do you use?

Long Fence | Dec 6, 2021
Long Fence | Dec 6, 2021

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.

When you build a deck, will the deck floor be flush with my exterior door threshold?

Long Fence | Nov 6, 2021
Long Fence | Nov 6, 2021

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.

Will your products add value to my property?

Long Fence | Oct 2, 2021
Long Fence | Oct 2, 2021

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.

How can I get in touch with my sales associate?

Long Fence | Oct 2, 2021
Long Fence | Oct 2, 2021

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

How long will it take to complete my job?

Long Fence | Oct 2, 2021
Long Fence | Oct 2, 2021

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.

When can I expect my job to be installed?

Long Fence | Oct 2, 2021
Long Fence | Oct 2, 2021

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.

Does Long® Fence use subcontractors or do you have your own crews?

Long Fence | Oct 2, 2021
Long Fence | Oct 2, 2021

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.

What is Miss Utility?

Long Fence | Oct 2, 2021
Long Fence | Oct 2, 2021

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.

Does my fence have to be installed a certain distance from the property line?

Long Fence | Oct 2, 2021
Long Fence | Oct 2, 2021

No, unless there are specific community rules or zoning ordinances, a fence is typically installed just inside the property line.

Does Long® Fence provide a survey?

Long Fence | Oct 2, 2021
Long Fence | Oct 2, 2021

While we are not surveyors, we can order surveys in most areas at a reasonable cost.

Do I need to obtain the permits for my job?

Long Fence | Oct 2, 2021
Long Fence | Oct 2, 2021

No. Long® Fence obtains all necessary permits. Variances are the customer’s responsibility.
