Fence planning questions

Before you get started.

More planning advice
Do you offer free fence estimates?

Yes. Floyd Fence offers free, no-obligation estimates. Share your location, preferred fence material and a few project details to get started.

Where does Floyd Fence work?

We serve homeowners and property managers across the Charleston tri-county area, including Summerville, Charleston, Mount Pleasant, North Charleston, Goose Creek, Moncks Corner, West Ashley, James Island and Daniel Island.

Which fence material is right for my home?

Start with your priorities: privacy, an open view, pet containment or lower routine maintenance. Wood, aluminum and vinyl / PVC suit different needs. Your property layout, exposure, preferred look and budget help narrow the choice.

What affects the cost of a fence?

Material, total length, height, gate size, removal of existing fencing, access and site conditions all affect the quote. An on-site estimate gives you a more useful comparison than a generic price per foot.

How can I compare two fence estimates?

Compare the same length, height, material and gate specifications. Ask whether removal, access work and cleanup are included, and request the relevant workmanship and product warranty terms in writing.

How long will my project take?

Timing depends on the scope, materials, site conditions, approvals and current scheduling. We’ll discuss the anticipated timing for your particular project.

What about property lines, permits and HOA approval?

Discuss responsibilities before work starts. Bring any survey or association guidance you already have, and confirm applicable requirements with your local authority or association.

What should I ask about warranties or payment?

Ask for the workmanship, product warranty and payment terms that apply to your particular estimate. The written project details are the right place to confirm them.
