Specialized Fencing Concord, NC

Initial Consultation

The starting point for any custom fencing project is an initial onsite consultation. This allows our fencing specialists to see and assess your property firsthand while discussing your vision for the new specialty fence.

Key items we evaluation during the initial meeting include:

• Intended purpose of new fence (security, privacy, aesthetics, containment, etc.)
• Measurements needed to estimate materials/costs
• Identifying any access issues or challenges
• Taking photographs to aid in planning stage
• Discussing preliminary fence ideas and options
• Addressing any specific desires or requirements

This is your opportunity to communicate your goals for the new specialty fence and ask questions. Our team will offer ideas and recommendations based on years of experience with all types of fencing applications. By the end of the consultation, you’ll have a clearer idea of which style and type of fence is best suited for your property along with projected costs.

Custom Designs

One of the hallmarks of specialty fencing is the ability to create customized looks that reflect the homeowner’s personal taste. That’s why our team works closely with each client to bring their unique fence ideas to life. We can incorporate everything from custom arbors, pergolas, gates and finials to decorative post caps and intricate scrollwork.

In some cases, we’ll create detailed scale drawings or computer visualizations so you can actually see how the finished project will appear on your property before work begins.

This is especially helpful for ornate iron/steel fences or properties with landscaping that needs to be factored into the design. We’ll refine the custom fence plans until you’re fully satisfied this will meet your requirements visually and functionally.

Attention is given to getting all the details just right – from determining the best placements and layout to choosing colors, textures, lighting effects and more. By taking the time upfront to solidify design plans, we can avoid potential problems or changes mid-project that tend to compromise budgets and schedules.

Material Selection

Specialized fences utilize a wide spectrum of materials from wrought iron and steel to synthetics, aluminum, stained cedar, reinforced masonry and beyond. The options can seem limitless. But in reality, only certain fencing materials make practical sense based on the intended application and location.

Our fencing contractors will guide you in selecting the best construction materials for your custom fence to not only look beautiful but also withstand the elements and environmental factors unique to your property. Some key considerations include:

• Durability requirements
• Level of security/privacy needed
• Amount of regular maintenance desired
• Local building codes and requirements
• Allergy/health factors (cedar vs. synthetics)
• Affordability and project budget
• Visual appeal and design style

By balancing all these criteria along with personal preference, we can narrow down the choices to determine the ideal fencing materials for your specialty application. And should you have any doubts or questions along the way, our team is here to provide expert recommendations.

Permitting

An important behind-the-scenes aspect of specialty fence installations is securing the necessary permits. Since customized fences fall outside the scope of ordinary residential barriers, they often necessitate additional approvals, zoning variances or reviews depending on local municipal regulations. We handle this permitting process on your behalf so you don’t have to tackle the paperwork and bureaucracy.

Before submitting for permits, we double check that all specifications and materials comply with Concord’s zoning laws and codes enforced by the City Planning and Zoning Division. We also verify property line plots when fences are being built on boundaries shared by adjacent homes. It’s essential due diligence is performed upfront to prevent any violations or disputes later on.

Once permits are secured, our crew schedules install dates with you. We also coordinate any requirements for certified inspections by city officials at different stages throughout the fence construction process. Taking care of permits, inspections and related compliance issues allows our clients to focus on bringing their dream fences to fruition.

Step-by-Step Installation

When installation day arrives, you can count on our specialty fencing contractors to take care of everything in coordinated, efficient fashion. We come fully equipped with all the necessary tools, equipment and hardware needed to erect custom fences from the ground up. Each crew member is highly trained and skilled in specialty barrier construction.

Safety is also paramount on every job site. We stake out work zones, set up barricades if needed and use extreme caution operating vehicles, equipment and power tools in close proximity of homes or pedestrians.

Throughout the build process, our foreman closely oversees the crew to ensure workmanship meets our strict quality standards. We also double check measurements periodically and make any necessary adjustments on the fly if original fence plans need tweaking.

With specialized barriers, unforeseen issues can present challenges that require creative problem-solving in the midst of installation. Our adaptability allows us to overcome obstacles while still delivering top-notch outcomes.

Most custom fencing projects take several days to complete from start to finish. Timing varies considerably based on fence height/length, terrain, soil conditions, chosen materials and other factors.

We keep clients updated on progress and give ample notice as the project enters final stages. Before packing up, we do a final walkthrough together to confirm everything meets your approval prior to our team departing the site.
