Why Price Shouldn’t Be the Only Factor When Choosing a Fence Company

When it comes to installing a new fence, every homeowner wants a fair deal – but “the lowest price” doesn’t always mean the best value.
At FenceCrafters of Ohio, we often meet customers who went with the cheapest bid first… and ended up calling us later to fix mistakes that cost more in the long run.

Let’s talk about why price should never be the only deciding factor when choosing your fence company – and what truly matters for lasting quality and peace of mind.

1 Cheap Doesn’t Always Mean Cost-Effective

A lower quote can seem appealing, but it often hides the shortcuts behind it: thinner materials, unlicensed labor, or poor post-setting methods.

Those corners cut can lead to warping, sagging, or total fence failure – especially under Ohio’s unpredictable weather.

Think of your fence as a long-term investment – not a short-term expense.

Spending a little more upfront with a reputable contractor ensures proper foundations, high-grade materials, and warranties that save you hundreds (or thousands) later.

2 Quality Materials Make a Huge Difference

A properly installed fence starts with the right materials.

FenceCrafters of Ohio uses top-grade vinyl, aluminum, cedar, and galvanized steel designed to withstand humidity, heat, and freeze cycles common in Cincinnati and Dayton.

Lower-priced competitors may use sub-standard materials that:

• Fade or crack after one winter
• Rust prematurely
• Shift because of improper footing or spacing

Our clients often notice that higher-quality fences not only last longer but also look better – maintaining curb appeal and property value.

3 Experience and Craftsmanship Matter

The best fence isn’t just about what’s in the ground – it’s about who puts it there.

Our professional installers have years of experience handling slope adjustments, drainage, and precision layout to keep your fence line straight and secure.

Choosing an unlicensed or inexperienced installer might save you a few dollars today, but it can cost you:

• Uneven panels
• Misaligned gates
• Non-compliance with city codes or HOA rules

FenceCrafters ensures every installation meets local codes and passes final inspection – something budget contractors often skip.

4 Warranty & Accountability

Ask every contractor what happens if something goes wrong.

Many low-cost companies disappear after installation – leaving you with no recourse for repairs.

At FenceCrafters of Ohio, we stand behind our work with a written workmanship warranty and ongoing customer support.

If an issue arises, you know exactly who to call – and you’ll speak directly with a local professional, not a call center.

5 Trust and Reputation Are Priceless

In home improvement, reputation is everything.

Our team has earned trust across Cincinnati, Mason, West Chester, and Hamilton through transparent pricing, clean job sites, and consistent 5-star service.

You’re not just paying for a fence – you’re investing in reliability, honesty, and proven results.

Final Word

The cheapest fence might look good for a year.

The right fence, built with care and quality, will add value and beauty for decades.

When choosing your contractor, ask not only “How much?” but also “How long will it last?” and “Who’s standing behind it?”
