Our Process

Our Fence Installation Process | Fence America LLC

At Fence America LLC we believe in doing things right the first time. Here's exactly what you can expect when you hire us — from your first call to your finished fence.

Step 1 — Free On-Site Estimate

We come to your property, measure the area, walk through your options, and provide a clear written quote at no charge. No pressure, no surprises.

Step 2 — Deposit & Scheduling

Once you're ready to move forward we collect a deposit to secure your spot on the schedule. We'll confirm your installation date and get everything lined up.

Step 3 — City Permit

Before any work begins we pull the required permit from the City of Des Moines or your local municipality. This protects you as the homeowner and ensures your fence meets local code requirements. Permit fees typically run around $70 and are handled by us.

Step 4 — Iowa One Call — Utility Marking

Safety first. We contact Iowa One Call and have all underground utilities marked before we dig a single post hole. This protects your yard, your home, and our crew from accidental utility strikes.

Important note for homeowners: Iowa One Call marks utilities from your house to the street. Any private wiring between your house, garage, or outbuildings is your responsibility to locate and communicate to us before installation begins.

Step 5 — Professional Installation

Our experienced crew arrives on your scheduled day and gets to work. We work efficiently and cleanly — most residential fence installations are completed in a single day. Larger projects of 200+ linear feet may require two days.

Step 6 — Final Walkthrough

Before we leave we walk the entire fence with you to make sure everything meets your expectations — every post, every panel, every gate. We don't consider the job done until you're completely satisfied.

Step 7 — Final Payment & Review

Once you're happy with your new fence we collect the remaining balance. We'd also love it if you'd share your experience with a quick Google review — it helps our small local business more than you know!
