Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before, during, and after your fence installation. Can't find your answer? Give us a call.
📞 Request a Free EstimateAlthough not mandatory, Accurate Fence highly recommends that a Land Survey be completed prior to any work beginning onsite. With visible property stakes, AFC can pull a string line to ensure all posts and fence lines are in fact placed inside your property.
Without a Survey, Accurate Fence cannot be held responsible should any portion of the fence be placed outside of the property. Feel free to discuss the need of a Survey with your Sales Representative — he or she can also recommend a Professional Land Surveyor if needed.
In most counties or cities a permit is not required for fence installation. However, some areas — like the City of Atlanta — do require permits to be pulled. Typically most County or City websites will let you know if a permit is required. Feel free to ask your AFC Sales Representative for assistance.
In the event a permit is required, it is the responsibility of the homeowner or client to apply for and collect the permit prior to any work beginning onsite.
Anticipated fence lines will be marked by your salesman with either flags or spray paint. Upon signing the contract, clients will be asked to call for a utility locate — a free service where all public utility lines will be marked above ground.
The general rule is that we must stay 24″ away from all marked areas, which could affect the original layout of the fence. In the rare event that an issue occurs, we ask that the client notify their respective salesman, who can come out and make any appropriate adjustments prior to installation.
For the longevity of your purchase, Accurate Fence highly recommends that all wood fences be sealed roughly 4 to 6 weeks after installation. This allows the wood to dry, cure, and adapt to the elements before application.
There are many different seal and stain options available, and your Sales Representative will be happy to recommend a Quality Painting Professional upon request. To keep your fence looking great for years to come, re-apply the sealer every 3 to 5 years or when applicable.
