Fencing Contractor Invoicing Rules
Always State Total Linear Footage
Break pricing down into clearly multiplied linear feet (e.g. 180 LF @ $32/LF) plus distinct gate entries.
Protect Yourself from Boundary Disputes
Include an explicit clause stating the homeowner verified fence placement along legal survey boundary markers.
Itemize Old Fence Tear-Out
Removing old rotted wood or concrete post footings requires significant labor and haul-off dump fees; always bill separately.
