5 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Fence Contractor

Hiring the right contractor can make or break your fence project. With your money, time, and curb appeal on the line, it’s essential to ask the right questions before signing a contract. If you're planning a fence build in Brantford or the surrounding area, here are five must-ask questions to guide your decision—and how MM Posthole Digging stacks up.

1. Are You Licensed and Insured?

Why it matters: Accidents happen. Hiring an insured contractor protects you and your property in case of damage or injury. What MM Posthole Digging does: We’re fully insured and operate with the highest safety standards to keep our crew—and your property—protected.

2. Do You Handle Utility Locates Before Digging?

Why it matters: Digging without proper utility locates can damage underground lines, delay your project, or even put your safety at risk. It’s not just smart—it’s the law. What MM Posthole Digging does: We take care of all required utility locates before we break ground. It can take up to two weeks for locates to be completed, so we schedule accordingly to keep your project moving on time and done safely.

3. What’s Included in the Estimate?

Why it matters: Unexpected costs can derail your budget. Always ask what’s included and get it in writing. What MM Posthole Digging does: Our estimates are transparent —no surprise fees, no fine print. Just honest pricing for honest work.

4. What’s Your Timeline for Completion?

Why it matters: Delays can leave you with an unfinished yard or unsafe space. What MM Posthole Digging does: We show up when we say we will. Our booking schedule is clearly communicated, and we work efficiently to deliver quality builds on time—even in the busy season.

5. Can I See Photos or Reviews from Past Projects?

Why it matters: Seeing past work helps you judge quality and style, while reviews show customer satisfaction. What MM Posthole Digging does: Check out our website, Instagram, and Facebook to see our recent builds. We’re proud of the work we do—and so are our clients.
