How to Choose the Right Contractor for Fence Installation Cape Cod

The wrong contractor costs you twice. You pay them. Then you pay someone else to fix their mistakes. Here's how to pick right the first time.

Check their license and insurance. Massachusetts requires contractors to be licensed. Ask for their license number. Verify it with the state. Insurance protects you if someone gets hurt on your property. No insurance means you're liable. Get proof of both before you sign anything.

Look at their actual work. Photos on a website prove nothing. Drive to completed projects. See the quality up close. Check if posts are plumb. Look at how boards line up. Examine corners and gates. Quality shows in the details.

Get references from jobs done in the last year. Old references don't count. Call these homeowners. Ask if the crew showed up on time. Ask if the price changed. Ask if they'd hire this contractor again. One bad reference is a red flag.

Read the contract carefully. It should list materials by brand and grade. It should include start and completion dates. It should specify who handles permits. It should detail payment schedule. Never pay everything upfront. You lose leverage.

Ask about their crew. Do they use employees or subcontractors? Employees mean better quality control. Subcontractors mean the contractor doesn't control who works on your property. Ask how long crew members have worked for them. Experience matters.

Verify they pull permits. Some contractors skip permits to save time and money. You're responsible when the town finds out. Make sure permits are part of the deal.

Get three quotes but don't pick the cheapest. The lowest bid usually means cut corners. They use cheaper materials. They rush the job. They skip important steps. The middle quote often gives you the best value.
