When choosing a fence company, it’s natural to compare prices. After all, fencing is an investment, and you want to ensure you’re getting the best deal. But here’s the truth:
You can always find someone cheaper.
The real question is—what are you giving up in exchange for that lower price?
At Fantastic Fence, we believe in doing the job right the first time. That means using high-quality materials, following best installation practices, and standing behind our work. Unfortunately, not all fence companies share this philosophy. Some focus solely on speed and cost-cutting, which can lead to problems down the road.
The Two Types of Fence Companies: Quality vs. Quantity
There are two main types of fence companies in the market:
- Quantity-Focused Companies (Cheaper, But at a Cost)
These companies prioritize installing as many fences as possible, as quickly as possible. Their goal is to be the cheapest option, often by:
- Using lower-grade materials that won’t hold up over time.
- Cutting corners on installation techniques, leading to structural weaknesses.
- Hiring less-experienced labor to keep costs low.
- Offering limited or no warranty, leaving you responsible for repairs.
The result? A fence that may look fine at first but fails much sooner than expected—leaning, warping, or needing costly repairs within a few years.
2. Quality-Focused Companies (A Long-Term Investment)
At Fantastic Fence, we take a different approach. We believe in:
✔ Using premium materials that withstand weather, pests, and time.
✔ Installing fences correctly with durable posts, proper concrete depth, and secure fasteners.
✔ Employing skilled crews who take pride in their craftsmanship.
✔ Backing our work with warranties and a reputation built on over 1,000 five-star reviews.
We don’t cut corners because we know a well-built fence should last for decades, not just a few years.
Cheap Fences vs. Quality Fences: A Side-by-Side Comparison
| Feature | Cheap Fences | Quality Fences (Fantastic Fence) |
| Initial Cost | Lower upfront cost | Competitive pricing, built to last |
| Material Quality | Low-grade wood, weaker fasteners | Premium materials, strong and weather-resistant |
| Durability | Prone to warping, leaning, and early failure | Withstands weather and wear |
| Installation | Rushed, minimal concrete depth, improper fastening | Proper post setting, secure construction |
| Warranty & Support | Limited or none | Strong warranties, long-term customer support |
| Aesthetics | Few design options, fades quickly | Customization options, long-lasting appearance |
| Long-Term Costs | Frequent repairs, early replacement | Minimal maintenance, long-lasting value |
What Are You Really Paying For?
A cheaper fence might save you money today, but what about five years from now?
A poorly built fence can lead to:
🚧 Costly repairs—replacing warped boards, leaning posts, or unstable sections.
🚧 Frustration—dealing with a fence that doesn’t last as long as expected.
🚧 Replacing it sooner—spending more money in the long run.
On the other hand, a well-constructed fence:
✔ Stays strong and beautiful for years.
✔ Requires minimal upkeep and fewer repairs.
✔ Adds value to your home instead of becoming a liability.
If Price Wasn’t a Factor, Who Would You Choose?
When we speak with customers comparing quotes, we like to ask:
“If our price and the competitor’s price were the same, who would you choose?”
The answer? Almost always Fantastic Fence.
Why? Because of our:
✅ Reputation for excellence
✅ Superior materials
✅ Skilled craftsmanship
✅ Reliable customer service
The reality is, our price reflects what it actually costs to do the job right.
- On-Site Visits: In situations where repeated attempts to contact your neighbor have been unsuccessful, we can send one of our estimators to knock on their door. If the neighbor isn’t home, the estimator will leave a note with information about the project and our contact details. While we can’t guarantee this will result in a response, it’s often a proactive way to encourage communication.
Making the Right Choice for Your Fence
When choosing a fence company, ask yourself:
✅ Do I want a fence that lasts, or am I okay with replacing it sooner?
✅ Will this company stand behind their work, or disappear after installation?
✅ Does this fence add value to my property, or is it just a quick fix?
✅ Am I making a smart investment, or just going for the lowest number?
At Fantastic Fence, we don’t aim to be the cheapest—we aim to be the best. And in the long run, the best-built fences are the best value.
