Yes, you need to know exactly where your property lines are well before the installation is supposed to occur. Although RSVP Fence does not survey properties, some great free online resources are available to you in every town to find out your property lines. If you do a web search for your town's name followed by Gis, (example: Southington Gis), a link will pop up where you can input your property and find various measurements that you may use to find property lines/pins ahead of time. The Gis is not 100% accurate all the time, but it is always remarkably close. If an exact measurement needs to be taken, please contact your local surveyor long before scheduling a fence installation in Southington, CT.

Yes, you should absolutely let your neighbors know about your project. That way, when the time comes that we're out on the jobsite with a full crew and machinery going, they are not alarmed that we are there and don't panic about where the property lines are. The absolute last thing anyone wants to do is completely stop everything going on to address a property line issue, which wastes valuable time. 

Any complete stoppage on the jobsite due to not knowing where the lines are is an additional fee of $50 for every 30 minutes, with a maximum additional fee of $350, that must be paid that day, especially if we have to leave the jobsite and reschedule our service. Our fence contractors Southington, CT homeowners trust will do everything they can to ensure they can complete a job as scheduled.

Yes, you do. At RSVP Fence, we require a deposit of one third of the total cost of the service. Not only are virtually all of our products special order now due to the pandemic, but the one-third deposit also secures your valuable installation spot — spots come at a premium with a small business that runs one crew at a time with a hands-on owner. This also locks in your pricing for materials. Since, according to LongFence, you can expect a 65% return on your investment of installing a fence, this deposit ensures you can move forward with a valuable investment in your property.

The one-third deposit may be made via cash, check, or credit card. Note that if you pay via credit card, you also need to sign a credit card authorization slip that can be generated and sent to you; please just mention it. Upon RSVP Fence receiving the signed document and the deposit, you will receive an updated quote reflecting the deposit made. As one of the top fence companies Southington, CT property owners work with, we are clear about upfront and general costs from the start.
