Fence installation or replacement. If you are in the market for a brand new fence, a contractor’s services will include walking you through various fence styles and materials, determining a suitable height, ensuring that all fence designs and plans are compliant with New Jersey building codes, and that the fencing meets both your stylistic and security needs as the homeowner. Fences and gates must complement the grade of your property as well as the type of soil you have, so the contractor should always plan around these considerations. Additionally, if you don’t know exactly where your property lines are, he or she can commission a survey for you.
