Most people who call us have never rented a fence before. The project manager has done it fifty times, but the event planner, the church facilities director and the homeowner-turned-GC on a teardown usually haven't. This is the whole process, in the order it happens.
The five things we need to quote you
Every quote comes down to the same five inputs: where the project is, which fence style you want, how many linear feet, how many gates, and how long the fence stays up. If you have those five, a phone call gets you a verbal number on the spot.
If you'd rather not talk yet, the self-serve estimator takes the same five inputs and lets you draw the run on a map.
Panels or post-driven, decided by your ground and your timeline
Freestanding panels sit in stands with sandbags, go up fast, and can be shifted by your own crew as the job changes. Post-driven chain link goes into the ground, doesn't move, and is the right call when the fence has to keep pedestrians and intruders out for months. We walk through this on the first call.
From yes to standing fence
After the verbal number comes a written proposal. Established commercial accounts run on Net 30; smaller or first-time rentals pay up front. Then the install gets scheduled. Panels usually go in within 24 to 48 hours, and post-driven chain link gets scheduled ahead. Changes on a live site are normal for us, because a construction schedule doesn't wait for a fence vendor.
While the fence is up
Gates move, runs get extended, a storm knocks a panel line over, an inspector wants an opening somewhere new: you call, we come. Moves and added runs are billed, and there's no queue to get behind. When a change is time-sensitive, Richard makes it a priority.
When the job wraps
You call, we pick the fence up. There's no removal charge, and a month or two of waiting on a final inspection doesn't change the flat fee you agreed to. A much longer extension is billed for the difference.
What to have ready before you call
You don't need drawings. A site address, a rough sense of the perimeter, and your dates cover most of it. If you can walk the line with your phone and read us the long sides, that's enough for a real number.
For events, tell us whether the fence is holding a crowd back or holding a perimeter, because crowd-control barricades and fence panels are different products, and we rent both.
The add-ons people ask about mid-rental
Windscreen is the common one. It adds privacy, holds down dust, and turns a chain link run into signage if you print on it. It's sold rather than rented, so it's yours to keep for the next project, and it can be added to a fence that's already standing. Eight-foot fencing is available as a special order for sites that need more height.
Where we do this
We're based in Greenwood and cover the Indianapolis metro and roughly 80 miles around downtown: construction sites, special events, and emergency response after a fire or a storm. The service area page names the towns we work most.
