What do I need to know about local zoning and fence codes?

Building codes for fences and pools vary by state, county, city, and even homeowner's association. You should contact your applicable county zoning department to determine your exact requirements. Codes may determine placement, height, materials, etc.

 

What types of warranties and guarantees are available?

Warranties on materials vary. This is an important consideration when determining the type of fence you would like to purchase.  Depending on materials, terms can range from no warranty on products like wood fencing, to lifetime warranties on maintenance-free products, such as P.V.C. vinyl and aluminum fences. The lumber we use for our wood products is of top grade materials. However, lumber is a product of nature and therefore, we cannot be responsible for the natural seasoning of the lumber, which may include some warping, cracking, and shrinkage. This is a natural part of the lumber's drying process.  We will provide you with manufacturer's warranty information.  Many factors affect the life of a fence, such as local climate, soil conditions, proper installation, wear and tear, and proper maintenance.  Warranty on labor from Eads Fence Company is one year.  Warranties and guarantees are only as good as the company giving them. We have been keeping our word, backing our products, and honoring our guarantees since 1980!

 

Do I need a survey?

Surveys define exactly where your property line is and eliminate any guesswork from the layout of your fence project.  If you know exactly where your property line is, then a survey may not be necessary. However, it is our recommendation that a survey be obtained.

 

What about underground wires and utilities?

If you are building your own fence, it is very important for you to call your local underground utility source.  They will properly locate and mark any public utilities.  If we are installing your fence, we will schedule the marking of the utility lines through: Ohio: 811 or 1-800-362-2764; Kentucky: 1-800-752-6007; and Indiana: 1-800-382-5544.   They will mark public utility lines.  However, they will not mark private lines, such as sprinklers, underground downspouts, invisible fence, etc.   Eads Fence Company is not responsible for private lines.  Please alert us to any private lines.  We will be as cautious as possible but we cannot be held responsible for underground utilities that are not clearly marked or identified by the customer.
