Why does it matter if I use a professional fence contractor for my residential fence?
Fencing is one of the easiest industries to “get into” for start-up business and novice laborers. For these people, who are looking to make a few extra dollars installing fences; a shovel, a level, and a string line may be all they need.
As a result, there are many individuals and/or companies who show up in Sherman, Texas, install residential fences for a short time, then disappear. We see it all the time. Beware! You only want to work with a fully licensed and insured fencing contractor in Sherman, Texas.
Here are some of the main pitfalls of working with non-professionals:
- The Residential Fence Warranty is Void
If the individual or company that installed your residential fence isn’t still around, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless. Additionally, some manufacturers won’t warranty their fence material if it was damaged during installation or installed improperly – which is very common with non-professionals. - The Fence Almost Certainly Won’t Last As Long
As a professional fencing contractor, our team of installers undergoes rigorous training and constant professional supervision. We are dedicated to improving our knowledge and skills of the best fencing materials and the best fence installation techniques in order to maximize the strength and life of your fence. Companies that simply install fences as something they do “on the side” usually have no idea how much they actually don’t know about residential fencing … and what is best for you and your property. - Putting Your Property at Risk
Installing residential fence in the Sherman, Texas area is actually somewhat risky. Sudden, harsh weather during the installation of a fence can blow materials – damaging your home. We’ve seen concrete splatter up onto cars or drip down beautiful driveways or walkways – as buckets of wet concrete are transported. Deep tire tracks sinking into your grass is another common issue. The secondary damage to homes and yards while installing fences by untrained labor is a very common thing.
Additionally, anyone hurt on your property while they are working puts you at risk! If you hire an unlicensed or uninsured contractor – you may be liable and your homeowners insurance may deny payment!
At first glance, hiring a novice to install your fence may appear to save you a few dollars, but in the long run it is almost certainly a price that you simply cannot afford to pay!

Aluminum Fence FAQs
How can I estimate how much fence I need for my business?
Make it Easy on Yourself!
Our aluminum fence experts will gladly come to your property and take all the measurements you need and help you design your fence! We are a full service fence company that specializes in aluminum fence installation, so you do not need to work hard to get a great new fence to protect your home or business.
DIY Fence Estimate
If you’d like to get a rough idea on your own about how much fencing you will need, follow these easy steps:
- If you happen to know the dimensions of the area you wish to enclose, simply add the length of each side together. Use a tape measure. Rough estimates are fine, there is no need to be too precise, this is just a rough estimate at this point.
- Be sure to subtract the length of any structures (like a building or a storage shed that will serve as part of the barrier). This will give you a rough estimate as to how much fencing you will need.
- An additional step to get greater accuracy for the amount of aluminum fencing you will need, is to also subtract the length of any gates you will be using. The gates are often priced much differently than the fencing is. For this reason we usually recommend to property owners who are looking to develop their own fence estimate, to list the gates separately. A standard aluminum walk gate is approx 4 feet wide and a standard aluminum drive gate can easily be 10 feet wide or more.
Caution!
Aluminum fencing is priced and sold by SECTIONS, not by linear feet! Even when the linear footage is included specifically on price estimates … the total number of aluminum fence sections is a factor in this pricing. So, “price per linear foot” is only a rough estimate and rarely represents the actual cost of the finished aluminum fence!
This is a very interesting difference that we would love to explore and explain to you if you’d like to speak with one of our fence experts further. Be aware, “price per linear foot” is a ploy that many unprofessional fence installers in the Sherman, Texas area use!

Why does it matter if I use a professional fence contractor for my aluminum fence?
There are many small fence companies in Sherman, Texas that install aluminum fencing. Very few of them specifically train their teams on the best installation techniques and practices for installing aluminum fencing. Unfortunately, this means that your aluminum fence is almost certainly not installed as securely as it could be – which, ultimately, can reduce the quality and lifespan of your fence.
Inferior installation techniques and using improper tools can also damage the aluminum fence during installation which may have the unfortunate impact of voiding the manufacturer’s warranty – because you chose an unqualified contractor not approved by the manufacturer.
Also be sure to choose a reliable fence company that has been around. Here are some of the most common pitfalls of using an unreliable, unlicensed, or uninsured aluminum fencing contractor:
- The Aluminum Fence Warranty is Void
If the company that installed your aluminum fence isn’t still in business down the road, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless.
