Have a Fencing Question For Us?

ANSWER: No, 90% of residential fences do not require a deposit before installation. The only exceptions are very large commercial fences and occasional residential fences needing custom fabricated materials to be ordered to complete the job.

ANSWER: Wood fences in Florida last between 10 & 15 years. Because wood is a natural material, the best a wood fence looks will be the day it is put up. Florida’s sun is hard on wood causing it to fade very quickly after installation.

Vinyl fences last as long as you stay in your house. The only enemy to vinyl is mother natures storms. There is no warranty that will cover an Act of God.

ANSWER: No, in Florida the sandy soil acts just like concrete to secure a fence once it is packed and allowed to sit, plus it allows any water to drain naturally. Posts with concrete will hold water and restrict the natural drainage and cause the fence to rot at the ground where the concrete is.

ANSWER: A gate operator is a mechanical device and does need periodic lubrication, batteries will need to be replaced periodically, and will need to be adjusted if it is bumped.

ANSWER: You should always choose an installer that has proper general liability and workers’ compensation insurance. If they cannot provide proof of insurance or waiver from the state, then you should beware of hiring them.

ANSWER: Research! Do your research. Look around your neighborhood, ask your neighbors, use the Better Business Bureau, Angie’s List, and internet searches, to name a few.

ANSWER: Employees work for the company and, by law, must be covered by workman’s compensation insurance, general liability insurance, and have automotive insurance on all company vehicles. Subcontractors must have proof that they have purchased insurance or a certificate of exemption if they are the owner of their company.

ANSWER: The vast majority of fence companies are supplied by a few wholesalers that only sell their products to licensed fence professionals. It is in their best interest to ensure that they sell the best material possible for the price to fence installers. The people that you need to look out for are the people trying to sell you a fence driving around in unmarked pickup trucks. If they do not have a business license they must shop where the general public shops for their material.

ANSWER: Witt Fence Co. has been in business since 1986. There are many individuals that have been around for years putting up fences under different company names. Why have they had to change their name so often? Do you want to use a business that has only been open for 1 week?

ANSWER: At Witt Fence Co., we can honestly say that we care more about your fence than you do.

Make sure that whoever you choose to install your fence truly cares about your project.
