Installing a fence will provide you with the privacy you’ve always wanted and will separate your property from your neighbours so that you can fully enjoy your own personal outdoor space. If you’re ready for a new fence, there are two options you can consider, including hiring a fencing company or doing the job yourself. If you’re not sure which option is best for you, the following list of pros and cons will help with your decision:

DIY Fence Installation

Pros

  • Costs are the main reason why some homeowners choose to tackle this project on their own. If you don’t hire a fencing expert, you will save on labour costs. Creating exactly what you had in mind is another bonus that comes with doing this on your own because you will be able to tailor your fence exactly as you like and can enhance your property based on your vision. Finally, there’s nothing quite as satisfying as looking back at a completed project that you did all on your own and you will feel very proud of your work.

Cons

  • There is always a risk of installing your fence incorrectly because building a fence without a professional can lead to problems, especially if you are unfamiliar with quality standards. Additionally, while you may be saving on labour fees, this type of mistake can end up costing you a lot more down the road when you have to deal with repairs and replacements. Correcting issues like unstable posts, for example, can be expensive, so keep this mind.

Hiring a Professional Fencing Company

Pros

  • Professional fencing teams provide their expertise so you will get perfect results. They specialize in this field so you will not have to worry about improper installation and can have peace of mind knowing that the job will be completed right. They will also provide professional advice and guide you in terms of the right materials and styles that are most suitable for your needs and property. Additionally, the installation will be done quickly and professionally, so you can have a beautiful new fence in no time and you won’t have to spend days attempting to prepare and build a fence on your own.

Cons

  • The costs may not align with your budget because you will need to pay for both the labour and the materials being used, which can add up quickly. You can ask around for financing options to see if this is a possibility if the costs are too high.
