Re: Island Wide Fence
I never heard of them. Ask them for addresses in your area of homes that they have done in the past year.
Drive by those homes and see how the fence is holding up.
My advice is to call precision fence in Bohemia. They did my fence, and my neighbors fence. Best quality fence out there if you ask me.
You will pay more but the quality of the fence is worth it

Precision's estimate was over $1000 more
We don't plan to be here long term either

Re: Island Wide Fence
Yes Precision will be a lot more expensive. Danielle and I dont know if we plan to be in our house for ever, but we wanted to get a good quality fence that wont start sagging, chipping, pealing etc....
If you get a fence make sure it is 100% Virgin PVC, and if the company claims that it is make sure you get that in writing on the contract.
Also make sure you get the thickest Rail. We have an 8inch rail. Most companies use a 51/4 or 61/2.
The $1000 more is worth it if you are going to stay in your house another few years.
Maintenance is a lot easier on Precisions fence compared to other companies.
These are the companies we got prices from
Consumer Fence (Beware of them) $4700 - Very thin rail, crappy quality fence. They used to be good. They guy that installed my fence was giving me the run down on the company and how bad the quality of ther fences and service is now.
Liberty Fence - I found out they make their own fences, but they used recycled PVC. - $4600
Rose - Actually told me to use the company that installed my neighbors fence. He said that it was exceptional quality. He said if it was his house, he would of used that company.
Carls Fence - $5300.
Precision $5350 - For the extra money it was worth it to us to have a better quality fence with a 50 year warranty.

Re: Island Wide Fence
Precision is the only one that uses the 8" rail.....I guess if you dont want to spend the extra money because you are going to be there that long then it should be fine.
Make sure you ask them for addresses of homes that they did fences at in the past year.....the longest time b4 now would be best - so you can see how they hold up
Ask if it is 100% Virgin PVC
Ask who makes the fence. Get a website name so you can research the company.
