Licensed fence Installers have invested years, if not decades learning the skills and expertise needed for their chosen trade. In addition, they have committed to undertake any further training that may be required of them by becoming licensed and insured.
You should always check your fencer holds the right licence for the job!
When assessing potential fence installer for your project, it is important to always ask them to show you their licence and insurance.
Why does an unlicenced fencer cost less?
The reason an unlicensed fence installer may quote a lower price is that they often haven’t completed the training or gained the qualifications necessary to work in their field. They have lower overheads as they are not paying licensing fees, and possibly not obtaining liability and worker’s compensation insurance either.
This lack of skills can become apparent in the inferior quality of their handiwork. They are also more likely to cut corners.
In addition to the initial costs of installation, imagine paying thousands of dollars extra to correct their mistakes?
