This is at your discretion, but you’re welcome to follow your normal routine during the construction of your fence.

For a few reasons. 1) These posts are heavier which is good for the structure of a gate. 2) They're bigger, giving them a broader surface area in the ground and allowing for better hardware securement 3) Compared to a standard 4x4, they're less likely to warp over time, as they "dry out" because of their girth and grain structure 4) They're not as common of a selection as 4x4's, so during the manufacturing, shipping and selling process, this allows the freshly cut material to "sit around" longer, enhancing this "dry out" phase before we put it into the ground.

There are several reasons why you might want to consider hiring a local fence company for your fencing needs:

1. Local knowledge: Local fence companies may have a better understanding of local building codes and regulations, which can be helpful in ensuring that your fence is installed correctly and meets all necessary requirements.
2. Personalized service: Local fence companies may be able to offer more personalized service and support, as they often have a smaller team and may be more focused on building relationships with their clients.
3. References and examples of work: Local fence companies may be able to provide references or examples of their work in your area, which can be helpful in determining the quality of their work and their level of expertise.
4. Community involvement: By hiring a local fence company, you may also be supporting a small business in your community and contributing to the local economy.

That being said, it is still important to do your due diligence when hiring any fence company, regardless of whether they are local or not. Make sure to get quotes from multiple companies and compare them before making a decision.

Generally, the rails are placed on the inside for two reasons. First, this design is more aesthetically pleasing to your neighbors, and many HOAs will require this look, at least on the sides and/or the front 2, street-facing, sides of your house to fit in with your neighborhood lawnscape. Secondly, in terms of security, it is much more difficult for an intruder, or an animal, to scale the flat side, or "finished side", of a wood privacy fence without the secure footing of the rails.

This is a common question, and unfortunately not an easy answer. Many of our residents fell prey to "fly-by-night" fence companies, that "popped up" overnight in the FL Panhandle and left just as quickly, leaving our community suffering from shoddy work just a few years later. The good news is some of this can be fixed, however, there is always a chance that a full or partial removal and replacement will be needed.

As a standard practice, we always ask for an initial payment to secure the materials and book you into our job schedule. This is normally about 50% down. If a contractor asks for much more than that, or the entire amount, it might be a red flag. Once the work is completed and you're satisfied with it, we'll then ask for the remainder of the balance.
