Installing a fence may seem like a weekend project — but is it really? At APG Fencing Contractor, we often get asked: “Should I try installing a fence myself or hire professionals?” Here’s what you need to consider before picking up the tools.

1. Quality & Precision

DIY:
While DIY installation gives you control, it often lacks the precision needed for durability — especially on uneven terrain or sloped yards.

Professional:
Experts measure, align, and install with precision. You get a solid, straight, and long-lasting fence the first time.

   Proper post depth
   Even spacing & alignment
   Stronger anchoring

2. Time & Effort

DIY:
Fence installation is labor-intensive and time-consuming. Digging, leveling, and securing posts can stretch over multiple weekends.

Professional:
With trained teams and equipment, professionals complete most projects in 1–3 days, depending on size and material.

     Save your weekends
     Avoid physical strain
     Faster results

3. Tools & Materials

DIY:
You’ll need to rent or buy tools like post diggers, concrete mixers, levels, etc. Mistakes can also lead to material wastage.

Professional:
We bring all necessary tools and materials — ensuring efficiency and minimal waste.

    No extra tool costs
    Material handled professionally
    Accurate cuts and fittings

4. Legal & Safety Compliance

DIY:
Homeowners might overlook property lines, utility lines, or local zoning laws — leading to fines or having to re-install.

Professional:
At APG Fencing Contractor, we handle permits and utility markings to ensure full compliance.

    Avoid legal issues
    Respect property lines
    Safe installation near utilities

5. Warranty & Peace of Mind

DIY:
Mistakes or miscalculations in DIY projects usually mean extra costs — and you bear the risk.

Professional:
We offer warranties on both materials and labor, so you’re protected if anything goes wrong.

    Warranty coverage
    Expert workmanship
    Ongoing customer support

Conclusion

While DIY may seem budget-friendly at first, professional fence installation saves you time, guarantees durability, and reduces stress. At APG Fencing Contractor, we ensure your fencing project is done right — the first time.
