The Best Fence Contractors in Brevard County FL Are the Ones Verified as Safe To Hire

The state of Florida requires a state license of fence contractors in Brevard County FL only for aluminum fences and vinyl fencing specifically, and not for wood fences or fences made of materials other than aluminum and vinyl. That state license only for aluminum or vinyl fences is called a Specialty Structure Contractor license and requires passing a written exam, a minimum amount of previous experience, and proof of liability insurance.

But none of that is a guarantee that any particular fence contractor in Brevard County FL is doing business ethically, delivering value, and satisfying its customers.

This makes it all the more significant that all contractors for fences in Brevard County FL who bear The Prime Buyer's Report-TOP 10 symbol have been cleared by our research staff as passing all the requirements for Prime Buyer's Report-TOP 10 status such as survey phone calls to previous customers to verify high satisfaction, good complaint record, verified state license (only for vinyl or aluminum fences), verified worker's comp and liability insurance, only employees legal to work in the U.S., and more.

Questions To Ask Fence Contractors in Brevard County FL

When it comes to hiring fence contractors in Brevard County FL, first ask these questions about their abilities, experience, and credentials:


• How long have they been in the business of fences in Brevard County? (Different regions have different soils and climates that will affect decisions about the best materials, finishes, and installation methods. The amount of experience as fence installers in your region shows possible knowledge of these conditions and how to adjust to them.)

• How many other fences have they installed like yours, regarding size, material, residential versus commercial, vinyl fence versus chain link, versus wood, deer fence versus privacy fence, custom design, etc.?

• Will they share with you names and numbers of previous clients for whom they did the same kind of fence that you can call as references? (All fence contractors bearing the Prime Buyer's Report-TOP 10 symbol have already had their client references called by our research staff so you don't have to.)

• Will they give you their cost estimate in writing, itemized to include the amount of material you're getting, brand names and item numbers?  (This is key because cheap fence companies in Brevard County often only appear cheaper by quoting you less material, or low quality material that will cost you more later in extra maintenance, repairs, or earlier replacement.)

• Can they recommend an easy adjustment you could make to the specs that would substantially lower the cost, and if so, what would you lose in performance? Similarly, do they see a big gain in performance or appeal that you could get for a little bit more money?

• How deep into the ground will they set the fence posts and with how much of cement? (Doing inferior post setting is another way that a fence company can only appear cheaper than another by doing less work with less material.)

• In the case of wood fencing, is the wood treated to be weather resistant and how?  

• If wood fence posts, what are the details on how the wood is treated to be resistant to rot, and does the fence company otherwise do anything in the install process to stop the posts from rotting in the ground?

• Are there manufacturer warranties on any of the materials to be used?

• Will they give you a written guarantee on their labor, aside from any manufacturer's warranty? If so, what does it cover exactly and for how long after fence installation?

• How long will it take them to complete the fencing once they begin?

• Do they have a showroom where you can look at samples of different materials, styles, or finishes? If not, will they go with you to a supply store to do this?

• Will they put in writing that the new fencing meets local zoning ordinances and city codes?

• Will a permit be needed for the new fence? If so, who goes and gets the permits, you or the fence contractor?

• Can they vouch that all their employees sent to your property are legal to work in the U.S.? (All fence companies in Brevard County bearing The Prime Buyer's Report-TOP 10 symbol have already signed an agreement to only hire documented workers.)

• Will they show you proof of liability insurance and workers' comp? (All fence contractors bearing the Prime Buyer's Report-TOP 10 symbol have already had proof of insurance verified by our research staff so you don't have to.)

• Do they use only their own permanent employees, or do they use subcontractors, and if so, what are the names of those subcontracted companies so you can research them?

When you've decided on the best fence contractors in Brevard County for you, make sure they are properly licensed if Brevard County requires one. (All fence contractors bearing the Prime Buyer's Report-TOP 10 symbol have already had their necessary license verified by our research staff so you don't have to.)
