CJ Steinhour is a con artist. I mean, he is a true artist, a master of his craft in scamming people. He built us a gate that was unlevel, too heavy, etc. and it began to fall forward within a week. The wood was warped from the weight of it pulling off cen...

How does invoicing/payment work for most Fence Contractor projects in Berkeley?
Every project differs, but you should ask any fence contractor for an estimate, before they do any work. In fact, ask for their general payment terms before any fencing services work is done.
If the job is large and going to take longer than a day, it's common practice for fence contractors to request a down payment. Usually, this will be around 25% so they can commence work on your fence contractor project.
If it's a quick job, you'll likely be given an invoice/bill when the job is complete. Then it's up to you and the fence contractor to determine if you pay immediately or can send payment at a later date.
What should I check for once my Fence Contractor in Berkeley has finished working?
Every fencing services project is going to have different results, but here are a few things to check for once any fencing services company has told you they've finished the job:
- Obviously you want to do a visual inspection. Even if you're unfamiliar with fencing services work, this gives you the opportunity to ask questions (even basic ones like, what did you do?).
- Ask the fence contractor to describe what they did. Whether your fencing services project was a repair job or a building job, have them run you through what was done.
- Compare the description provided on your fencing services project estimate to the work completed. Did the professional do what was promised?
- Request that the fence contractor do a follow-up visit to check on the work. Most professionals are willing to do this, especially if you ask them.
