Deptford Fence Contract
Please enter your initials after each statement to verify you read and understand it.
Booking your installation:
A deposit of 50% is required to book your installation. Once a deposit has been given you will be scheduled into our system and will be given an approximate start week. Most times this is accurate but not 100% of the time. Unfortunately we have to contend mother nature and difficult ground conditions. Properties with a lot of roots can affect the length of installation by several hours to a day or more in some cases.

Permits:
Obtaining the permit is the sole responsibility of the homeowner. If you choose to have the fence installed without the permit you are responsible for any and all charges to have the fence removed. If replacing an existing fence it is normally not required. Please contact your town hall for more information.

Property to be ready for installation:
Properties that are not ready result in longer installation times and affect the installation dates for all other customers that are scheduled. The property must be free of debris so that we can maneuver equipment and fencing materials. There must be a 5' path along the property line that must be free of brush, overhanging limbs, vines, rocks along fence line, etc. The labor rate for preparing the lot for installation is $60 per MAN hour after the first 15 minutes. If a customer turns away a crew so that they may get their property ready for installation it will result in a charge of $400. These fees must be paid before the installation can start. A payment via credit card is available if customer is not home for installation.

Property Lines:
Deptford Fence is glad to assist with the layout of the fence. However, it is the sole responsibility of the homeowner to ensure the fence is within their property. If any posts need to be reinstalled the price is $75 per post. We highly suggest having a survey done with permanent markers installed so that you know where the property lines are.
Enter your initials.
Utility Lines:
Deptford Fence will call 811 to have any public utility lines marked. These flags must remain on the property until the installation is complete. If flags are removed Deptford Fence cannot install the fence. If we arrive to the property and must reschedule due to the flags there will be a $400 fee. All other private lines are solely the customer’s responsibility. Deptford Fence is not responsible for any lines that are not marked or incorrectly marked. Examples of private utility lines are: sprinkler, pool, propane, landscape lighting, etc.
