Midwest Fence Heavymill Chain Link is Better

Midwest Fence has been installing the Heavy Millimeter Vinyl clad chain link systems for many years. It is the most durable and affordable system that is manufactured today. Homeowners interested in having a nicer and more subtle containment system will find that this product will fill their needs perfectly.

Other vinyl systems which look similar, may have a powdercoated framework that can be more prone to cracking and chipping. The last thing a homeowner needs is another maintenance project. When powdercoat systems fail, the fence looks terrible; and if the property is for sale, it may be a re-sale liability.  The powdercoat finish is not even half as thick as the HeavyMill product.

Midwest Fence installs  HeavyMill systems because they are more impact resistant, more acid resistant (dogs) and more UV resistant than other products. No other system is designed to look good and last longer.

Midwest Fence's black chain link installations include a 15 year product warranty. And it is backed by a company that has stood behind their products since 1947. This is your long term, maintenance-free solution to your containment needs. Call for a free estimate today!

Fence Company Comparisons

Before you hire a contractor, it is important that you find out a few things:

• Do they have a current State Contractor license?

This is important because contractors must prove to the State of MN that they have enough insurance, and it means they are serious about being in this industry for the long term. You can weed out the non-licensed guys right away. A link to look up a residential contractor is provided here: www.doli.state.mn.us or you may copy and paste the address to your browser. You may be surprised to see how many fence companies are not licensed.

• Do they use In-House crews or sub-contractors?

Subs tend to have the best interest of themselves in mind; not the homeowner. Subs are paid by the job and not by the hour, so the faster they work, the more money they make. But speed does not necessarily equal quality. Workmanship is everything!

• Warranty on workmanship?

Anybody can warranty materials for 5, 10, 20 years, but the labor is what costs money. A board replacement or a gate adjustment are minor material costs, but the labor can be $200.00 or more. A one year labor warranty is the same as nothing. It says to the customer that if a board falls off next summer, the new board is free; but the trip charge is $200.00 (does that sound like a good warranty?) Better contractors who build durable projects, will warranty everything for 5 or more years because they know that it will last.

• Small down payment?

Most consumer advocacy groups (BBB, Angie's List) advise paying 30% or less as a down payment. Be cautious of contractors who want more than that. Remember, this down payment reflects your commitment to the job but the contractor hasn't performed any work yet. You have nothing to show for your commitment.

• Scope of work?

A detailed, written proposal is critical to helping you make an informed decision.  The details should include the following:

1. Total Linear Footage
2. Height of Fence
3. Style of Fence
4. Specific Brand, or Grade of Materials
5. Installation Methods and Process
6. Removal of Existing Fence and Haul or Recycle
7. Warranty Information on Labor and Materials
8. Installation Crews (subs or in-house)
9. Project Costs
10. Terms of Payment

You can always hire a nice guy with a "nice price", but do your homework first.  If you follow these steps, you may find that choosing your next contractor is easy and a good way to get the best value.

Terrific Trex Privacy

Are you tired of staining your old wood fence? Replacing posts and boards year after year can be expensive and sometimes an exercise in futility. Maintenance-free fencing has some big advantages over a wood product and the
good people at Trex have the solution.

The Trex Seclusions composite fence is made of recycled plastic and reclaimed wood. This product is at the forefront of the green revolution in fencing, as it is 96% recycled material. Other products in its class use less than 50% recycled material. Seclusions is also neighbor friendly; looks the same on both sides. The Trex 5x5 stand-alone post is not only one of the largest posts available in composite fencing, but it does not require any internal support; ie a wood post (which can rot over time). The Trex Seclusions Privacy is the only composite fence to pass the Miami Dade County hurricane wind load test, which is 130 mph wind gusts. And it has a 25 year warranty which gives you assurance that this product has been designed to give you long term performance.

Trex Seclusions is available in three colors: gray, saddle (pictured) and woodland brown. Trex's strength and durability can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars incurred by repair and replacement costs compared to a wood product.   It also will be an asset, not a liability when it is time to sell your home. 

Ask me about the new Trex Seclusions today! I will be happy to give you a free estimate for your yard.
