As you consider hiring a Springfield fence installation company, be sure to ask these helpful questions to ensure your selection is truly a Superior one:

1. How Long Have You Been In The Business?

In the home improvement business, there are some companies that may seem to be high caliber, but the sad truth is that they may not be. It is critically important that the Springfield fence builder you ultimately choose be the very best solution for your needs.

At Superior Fence & Rail, our reputation for excellence precedes us as we celebrate our Silver Anniversary of 25 years designing, installing and servicing fence Springfield structures, as well as fence security barriers.

Without question, Superior is the Springfield fence company that raises the standards with our outstanding, respectful and trustworthy service. For this past quarter of a century, homeowners just like you rely on us for exceptional products and installations.

2. Are Your Customers Pleased With Your Local Fence Company Results?

There are several ways to validate what our Springfield clients think of Superior. For starters, we are most happy to report that

we have more than 30,000 five-star reviews and are quickly approaching 32,000 online reviews for our fence Springfield installations. As for our Custom Satisfaction Rating, we can boast a 94% rating – virtually unheard of in the home improvement business category.

3. When It Comes To Fencing Materials, What Choices And Quality Can You Provide Me With?

Whatever your need, whatever your aesthetic preferences, and whatever property area you wish to secure and protect, you’ll find it all – and more – at Superior. We offer a complete range of today’s most desirable, highest-quality fence products. Today’s modern fences are made from a variety of material options to fit every property and need.

For a modern look and low maintenance, you have your choice of selecting from PVC Vinyl, Trex Composite or Aluminum Fencing.

We also offer the tried-and-true classics of Wood and Chain Link fences. Below, are just a few of the many categories of fence products available from Superior. Visit our Fence Gallery for more photos of fencing, railing and gates and entry installations.

4. I Own A Growing Commercial Property, What Fencing Options Do You Think Would Best Serve My Needs?

As any of our Superior fencing materials would serve this need, the first two that immediately come to mind are Aluminum and Chain Link.

If you prefer a rather upscale look to protect your commercial property, our Aluminum Fencing would serve you very well. Based on our vast experience, property developers and managers enjoy the trifecta of valuable benefits of long term durability, obvious security and an elegant, professional look.

Superior Aluminum Fencing makes it very clear that unauthorized visitors and vehicles are not welcome without prior approval, while still allowing visibility around the fenced area with our pickets, rails and gates.

An Aluminum security perimeter easily allows for continuous observance via monitoring technologies and security personnel. Unlike wood and solid fencing that may hinder visual ability, Aluminum is often the fencing material of choice for:

  • Industrial enterprises
  • Corporate headquarters
  • Retail multiplexes
  • Warehouses
  • Developments for mixed use clients

Another terrific protection alternative offering virtually full-view access is Chain Link. One of its most attractive features is its affordability. Chain Link materials are lower in cost, making it a more affordable installation option.

For enhanced protection if and when desired, especially in rather remote locales, access can be further deterred via the inclusion of anticlimbing slats, spikey barbed wire and sharp razor ribbon.

5. What Steps Should I Take Prior To Installation?

The majority of the work will be done for you with our acclaimed professional team once your fence installation is scheduled. However, it is a good idea to have a few tasks handled before your installation day.

  • Have your property survey available in case any questions arise during installation.
  • Make a plan to keep children and pets out of the area during installation, for their safety and our team’s safety.
  • Relocate any potted plants or other exterior items from within two to three feet of the fence line.
  • Identify any plants or trees that are near the fence perimeter that you’d like to protect during your fence installation.
  • Test your irrigation to make sure it is operating properly before installation and again after installation.
  • Request a private utility marking if you have underground utilities, such as pool pumps or gas lines, that were not marked by the public utilities.
  • Ensure the fence installation crew has access to water and electricity.
  • Be ready for possible challenges. Our fence professionals are ready for just about every surprise during fence installation, but occasionally something unforeseen does come up. Our Superior team will resolve any issue promptly and keep you informed along the way.
  • Schedule yourself to be present for the start and completion of the fence installation process to review and approve the project with our installation crew.
  • For residential Springfield fencing installation, if you have a Homeowner’s Association (HOA), check with them to determine any requirements for fencing such as height, color, and materials.
