Installation Notes

Posts set 36 inches deep with concrete footings. Post hole depth may require surcharge if bedrock is encountered below 30 inches ($45 per hole for rock augering). Client is responsible for marking property lines before installation begins. All digging subject to 811 utility locate — allow 3 business days before start date. Existing fence panels and posts hauled off-site and disposed of.

Fence Installation Proposal Tips

  1. 1

    Price by linear foot, not by the job. A per-foot breakdown makes it easy for clients to add 20 more feet or cut a section — and keeps your margin intact when material costs shift.

  2. 2

    Specify the post hole depth and concrete spec in the proposal. If a fence fails in year two because posts were set at 24 inches instead of 36, you want it in writing that you did it right.

  3. 3

    List gate hardware separately. Clients routinely ask for a double driveway gate after signing a basic perimeter quote. Give it a line item upfront so you're not re-negotiating mid-job.

  4. 4

    Note what happens when you hit rock or roots. Post-setting gets expensive fast if there's 8 inches of topsoil over bedrock. Either quote a rock surcharge or say you'll stop and call. Either way, put it in the proposal.

  5. 5

    Include a property line disclaimer. Getting a survey wrong is the contractor's nightmare. Ask the homeowner to mark the line or provide a survey — and say so in the proposal before the first post goes in.
