The Cheapest Bid Isn’t Always the Best Deal
We get it. Fence projects can be a big investment—and when someone offers to do it for half the price, it’s tempting. But at Midwest Fence, we’ve seen how that story ends: uneven posts, sagging gates, poor communication, and unfinished work.
Before you sign that super-low bid, here’s what you should consider:
1. A Fence Is Only as Good as Its Installer
Even the best materials won’t matter if they’re installed wrong. The “cheap guy” might:🔧 Cut corners on post depth📏 Mis-measure footage🚫 Ignore local codes or permits
That adds up to repairs, red tape, and redoing the job altogether.
2. Poor Workmanship = Future Headaches
A fence that leans, warps, or fails within a year? That’s not a good deal. You’ll spend more fixing it—or worse, replacing it—than you saved upfront.
3. No Insurance? No Warranty? Big Risk.
Some cut-rate contractors don’t carry liability insurance or offer a real warranty. That means if they mess up your yard, damage utilities, or disappear mid-job… you're stuck footing the bill.
At Midwest Fence, we’re licensed, insured, and back our work with real guarantees.
4. Communication Matters
A fence job isn’t just about labor—it's about service. Do they answer your calls? Do they show up on time? Do they walk you through the process?
✅ We do. Because it matters.
5. Long-Term Value Beats Short-Term Savings
You’re not just buying a fence. You’re investing in:🏡 Property value🛠️ Durability💡 Peace of mind
Midwest Fence uses premium materials and proven installation practices. You won’t have to wonder if your fence will still be standing in 10 years—you’ll know it will.
