Fence Installation Billings, MT

Initial Consultation

The first step of our fence installation process is an initial consultation. One of our expert fencing consultants will visit your Billings property to inspect and measure the area. We’ll discuss your desired fence type, height, style, placement and usage. Based on the terrain and layout of your landscape, we’ll recommend the most suitable fencing solution.

We’ll also inform you about local permit requirements and estimated project timeframe. This on-site consultation helps us gather all the necessary information to create a customized fence installation plan for your property.

Design and Planning

With measurements and details from the consultation, our team will create a detailed design and installation plan. This includes a rendering of your new fence layout showing exact positioning and footages. We’ll choose the most optimal fence materials and posts to match your preferred style while complying with Billings building codes.

If required, we’ll also handle the permit application process on your behalf. At this stage, we’ll provide you with a written proposal of all project specifications and costs for your approval before proceeding.

Material Procurement

Once the fence design is finalized and permits are secured, we’ll order all the required installation materials. This includes the fencing panels or rolls, posts, gates, hardware and accessories needed to complete your new fence.

We only source high-quality sustainable wood, vinyl, metal or other fencing materials from trusted vendors to ensure durability. All materials are carefully inspected for defects before brought to your property in Billings.

Site Preparation

Our team will prepare your site for the new fence installation by clearing vegetation, removing old fencing if necessary, and marking layout lines. We take care to protect existing structures, utilities and landscaping during this process.

Proper site preparation helps us safely excavate post holes, set posts to correct depths and align fence lines according to the agreed plan. If underground wires, pipes or obstructions are found, we’ll adjust the fence layout as needed to avoid damage.

Fence Post Installation

We dig precise post holes using an auger for wood or steel posts set in concrete. For vinyl posts, we excavate wider holes and use gravel for drainage. Post spacing is calculated based on fence height and wind load capacity.

Our experts properly space and align all fence posts, ensuring they are plumb and level. We allow time for the concrete footings to cure before moving on. Proper fence post installation is key to building a structurally sound, straight and long-lasting fence.

Fence Panel Installation

With the posts securely in place, we’re ready to install the fencing panels or rolls. For a wood privacy fence, we attach each section between posts with durable galvanized nails and screws. For chain link or wire mesh fencing, we tightly stretch the rolls across posts and secure with ties.

Vinyl, aluminum and other pre-built panel systems simply get bolted or dropped into slots on the posts. Gates are installed and aligned to open and close smoothly. Finally, we complete the fence with decorative caps, trims and other final touches.

Cleanup and Finishing

As a final step, we’ll conduct a thorough cleanup of your Billings property. We remove all construction debris, tools and supplies related to the fence installation.

You are left with a beautiful new fence ready to enjoy without any mess or headaches! We can also provide tips on sealing or staining your wood fence to protect against weathering. Let us know if you need any assistance with fence maintenance.
