Hiring fencing pros in Seattle
Signs it's time to call a fencing pro
Leaning or heaved posts
Posts that tilt or lift after winter usually were not set below the frost line, so seasonal ground movement pushes them out of plumb. Once several posts lean, the fence's alignment and strength are compromised and resetting is needed.
Rotting or loose boards
Soft, grey, or crumbling wood at the base and rails, along with boards that wobble or fall away, shows the fence is reaching the end of its service life. Scattered replacements help, but widespread rot signals full replacement.
Rust and sagging chain link
Rusted mesh, bent top rails, and fabric pulling loose from posts mean a chain link fence is failing. Vinyl-coated or galvanized replacement restores security and lasts far longer than patching a corroded run.
Gates that stick or sag
A gate that drags, will not latch, or has dropped at one corner points to a weak or heaved gate post or worn hardware. Because gates take the most stress, they are often the first part of a fence to fail.
How to choose between Seattle fencing quotes
Fencing is usually not a licensed trade, so your due diligence carries more weight. Start by confirming the contractor is properly insured with liability coverage and workers' compensation such as WSIB or WorkSafeBC, and that they carry any municipal business licence your area requires. More important than any credential, though, is how they handle boundaries and rules. A trustworthy contractor asks about your property line, recommends a survey or Real Property Report when there is any doubt, and confirms the permit and height bylaws with your municipality rather than leaving those risks with you. Before digging, they should also arrange a locate through your provincial one-call service so buried utilities are marked.
Ask directly how deep the posts will be set, because frost-depth footings are the difference between a fence that stays straight and one that heaves. A good answer references setting posts below the local frost line in concrete, not a shallow shortcut. Get the material, height, post spacing, footing depth, gate details, and old-fence removal itemized in a written quote, and ask to see recent local fences they have built. Confirm they will handle the utility locate and any permit, and clarify in writing who is responsible if a boundary question arises, so expectations are clear before the first post hole is dug.
Whoever you shortlist from the ranking above, ask each for a written scope, proof of insurance, and two recent Seattle references before signing.
