1) Location, Location, Location – the economy has caused many fence companies to go through tough times of late.  It’s no secret that lots of people in Dearborn as well SE Michigan as a whole are holding off on purchasing anything and everything that they normally would and this includes installing a fence.

Here’s the real truth about what’s going on in our area. People are not installing as many fences as they used to which in turn has led fence companies from all across the area to try and expand their area of business in an effort the find a few more customers each month to meet their quota.

Make sure you look deeper into this type of situation though because you don’t want to be the victim when a company based in Jackson doesn’t come by to install your fence for weeks and weeks after they’ve already taken your deposit.
For this reason, it’s best to work with a Dearborn fence company that works in and around your community each and every day.  This goes a long way to ensure your job is completed on time.

2) City of Dearborn Fence Installation Regulations – obviously, we hope that you’ll choose Veterans Fence Company to install your next fencing system, if you decided that another company is better suited, make sure that they know what they are doing inDearborn.

Remember, a company based in Jackson can run an ad in the local paper or Yellow Pages but that doesn’t mean they have the experience dealing with the Dearborn community planning department.  This is another reason why working with a local fence company is in your best interests.

3) Insured and Bonded– always double check to make sure that the company you go with carries the proper insurance and is bonded in accordance with Michigan State regulations.  If a member of an installation crew injures himself while on your property, his company’s coverage should help take care of his lost time, wages, and medical expenses.  If this type of coverage was never procured or was allowed to lapse then the worker might just feel that it makes sense to pursue legal action again you, the homeowner, to get the money he feels he’s entitled to.
