1) Where is the Company Located – the ups-and downs of the economy has caused many fence companies to go through tough times of late.  It’s no secret that lots of people in Livonia 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.

Let’s ignore the fact that this could be a safety hazard that ends up producing disastrous results and just deal with the facts.  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.

For this reason, it’s best to work with a Livonia 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 Livonia Requirements – 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 in Livonia.

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 Livonia community planning department.  This is another reason why working with a local fence company is in your best interests.

3) Bonded and Insured – you’ll want to make sure that you check to ensure the fence company you contract with to install your new fence is properly bonded and insured.  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.

At Veterans Fence we’ve always maintained our contractor’s license in good standing as well as all the required insurance coverage to give you that extra peace of mind when our fence company is on-site installing your fence.  You can ask for a copy at any time and we’ll be glad to provide it to you.
