What to Expect
The Build Process:
The project starts when you reach out through email, call, or text at (252) 290-4753. We work hard to respond promptly to all inquiries and you can expect our reply within two business days.
Schedule a measurement. Stocks Fence will visit your site and review options for design and style. This is the opportunity to meet face-to-face, ask questions, discuss your goals regarding pet safety and privacy, measure your planned layout, and get to know our fantastic staff.
Receive your preliminary proposal. This will include the scope of work, a detailed layout, and accurate pricing for the material and labor prices for your project. This gives an opportunity to compare different styles of fence, as well as lead times on various material sources.
Approve your final proposal. After considering all options, we will come to a plan that meets all of your needs and adheres to the budget you have in mind. Special order material is normally invoiced at this stage to get the ball rolling on manufacture and delivery. We will also assign a start date, request underground utilities to be marked, and submit for HOA approval.
Material delivery. Material is normally delivered on the first day of construction. Any material balance is invoiced at this point, shortly after delivery. This is also the time that we flag the location of each fence post, gate, and take an opportunity to verify that the planned fence location is as expected from the proposal.
Construction. Stocks Fence will dig the post holes, set the posts, and assemble the panels in one continuous process. We work one project at a time and do not skip around projects. Our work schedule is Monday - Friday approximately 9am - 4pm. Tear down and digging is normally done with machines that are brought in for a short period then removed promptly.
Completion. As the construction phase comes to a close, we work to tie up any loose ends and apply the final touches including hanging gates, installing post caps, and cleaning up the area.
Final Payment. Final payment of the labor portion of the project is due on completion. We do like to receive full payment on the day we finish the fence.
Enjoy your new fence! Stocks Fence believes that customer service is a life-long commitment. We will be available to address any question or concern at any point in the future. Please feel free to reach our for any future expansion, changes, or repairs.
