Thinking about installing a fence for your property? You have two options: tackle it yourself or hire a professional. Both have pros and cons, so let’s break them down to help you decide which is the best fit for you.
Time
If you’re looking to save time, hiring a professional is the way to go. Installing a fence yourself means handling everything—planning, measuring, gathering materials, digging, and constructing—which can take weeks or even months.
With Rugged Fence, the process is streamlined. We have the materials, expertise, and manpower to get the job done efficiently. Just tell us what type of fence you want and where you want it, and we’ll handle the rest.
Cost
DIY fence installation can save you money upfront since you’re only paying for materials, not labor. However, mistakes or improper installation can lead to costly repairs down the road.
Hiring a professional does come with labor costs, but you’re also paying for quality, durability, and a fence built to last. Plus, with Rugged Fence, you get expert craftsmanship that ensures your investment holds up over time.
Design
Both DIY and professional installations allow for customization, but bringing your vision to life can be tricky without construction experience.
At Rugged Fence, we’ve done it all, from mixing materials and combining privacy and picket styles to creating unique, one-of-a-kind designs. If you want a truly customized fence without the guesswork, we can make it happen.
Quality
Fence quality can be somewhat subjective, but professional contractors typically have access to better tools, materials, and skilled labor, meaning a professionally installed fence is more likely to be high-quality compared to a DIY build.
That’s not to say you can’t build a solid fence on your own. With thorough research and careful attention to every step of the process, a well-built DIY fence is possible. However, hiring a professional eliminates the risk of mistakes and ensures durability from the start.
The Bottom Line
DIY installation can save money, but it requires significant time, effort, and skill. Hiring a professional ensures a faster, high-quality result with expert craftsmanship. If you’re ready for a hassle-free fence installation, Rugged Fence is here to help!
