Snohomish Washington Aluminum Fencing

Aluminum fences require very little maintenance. Aluminum is naturally rust and corrosion-resistant. In addition, our professional-quality aluminum fencing has been factory-treated, further preventing rust and corrosion while resisting color fading and dull finish issues that are more common with lower-quality aluminum fencing.

For this reason, an occasional rinse with a water hose, a gentle, non-abrasive home cleaner, and a sponge should be sufficient. Apart from that, you should not need to do anything except enjoy your beautiful aluminum fence!

Every local municipality has a separate set of requirements when it comes to building permits, and that includes aluminum fencing. Sometimes, the specific height of the fence, placement of the fence, or purpose of the fence can impact the need for a permit. There are also HOA considerations in some areas.

We have installed many aluminum fences in almost every possible area across Greater Seattle so we are happy to answer these questions and guide you through the process.

The best way to get specific answers quickly and accurately is to call your town building code office.

Fence placement is ultimately the responsibility of you, the customer. Moving a fence after installation can be costly, so getting a survey to be safe is never a bad idea. In many cases, the property lines are clear and well-marked and installing your fence can be done without an official survey. However, some municipalities do require it, so be sure to check!

Many small fence companies in Greater Seattle install aluminum fencing. Very few specifically train their teams on the best installation techniques and practices for aluminum fencing. Unfortunately, this means that your aluminum fence is probably not installed as securely as it could be, which ultimately can reduce the quality and lifespan of your aluminum fence.

Using inferior installation techniques and improper tools can also damage the aluminum fence during installation, which may have the unfortunate impact of voiding the manufacturer's warranty since you chose an unqualified contractor not approved by the manufacturer.

Here are some of the main pitfalls of working with non-professionals:

1. The Aluminum Fence Warranty is Void
   If the individual or company that installed your aluminum fence is no longer in business, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless. Additionally, some manufacturers won't warranty their fence material if it was improperly installed or damaged during installation. Both situations are common with non-professionals.

2. The Fence Almost Certainly Won't Last As Long
   As a professional fence company, our team of installers undergoes rigorous training and constant professional supervision. Our dedication to improving our skills, knowledge of the best fencing materials, and best aluminum fence installation techniques maximizes the strength and life of your fence. Companies that install aluminum fences as something they do "on the side" usually have no idea how much they don't know about aluminum fencing or what is best for you and your property.

3. Your Property May be at Risk
   Installing aluminum fences in the Greater Seattle area can be risky. Sudden, harsh weather during the fence installation can blow materials and damage your home. We've seen concrete splatter onto cars or drip down beautiful driveways or walkways as buckets of wet concrete are transported. Deep tire tracks sinking into your grass is another common issue. The secondary damage to homes and yards is common when untrained labor installs the fence.

   Additionally, you are at risk if anyone gets hurt on your property while they are working. If you hire an unlicensed or uninsured contractor, you may be liable and your homeowner's insurance may deny payment!

At first glance, hiring a novice to install your aluminum fence may save you a few dollars, but in the long run, it is almost certainly a price you cannot afford to pay!
