Frequently asked questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit before building my fence?

In most Utah cities and counties, a permit is required for new fence installations—especially if the fence exceeds certain heights or uses specific materials. The good news: Trusted Fence Company will help you navigate the process and make sure your project meets all local building codes and HOA requirements.

Do I need to talk to my neighbors before installing a fence?

It’s not a legal requirement, but it’s always a smart move. If your fence will run along a shared property line, discussing your plans with neighbors can help avoid misunderstandings and ensure everyone’s on the same page before installation begins.

Can you find my property lines?

We can help guide you, but only a licensed land surveyor can determine exact property boundaries. If you’re unsure where your line falls, we recommend getting a professional survey before installation to prevent any future disputes.

Do you handle underground utility locating?

Yes! Before digging, we contact Blue Stakes of Utah to safely mark any underground utilities like gas, water, or electrical lines. This ensures a safe and compliant installation every time.

Absolutely. From modern privacy styles to decorative aluminum or custom wood designs, Trusted Fence Company can create a fence that complements your property and matches your exact vision.

How much does a new fence cost?

Pricing depends on the material, height, footage, and site conditions. We offer free on-site estimates so you can get an accurate, no-obligation quote tailored to your property.

How long does installation take?

Most residential fences are installed in 1–3 days, depending on material, layout, and site conditions. Custom or commercial projects may take longer — we’ll give you a clear timeline before work begins.

Do you remove old fences?

Yes, we do! For an additional fee, we’ll safely remove and dispose of your old fence before installing the new one — keeping your property clean and ready for a fresh start.

Do your fences come with a warranty?

Yes — we stand behind every fence we build. Our materials include manufacturer warranties, and we also back our craftsmanship with a Trusted Fence workmanship guarantee. Warranty coverage varies by material, and we’re happy to walk you through the details for your specific project.

How do I maintain my fence after installation?

Maintenance depends on the material:

  • Vinyl & SimTek: Rinse occasionally with water and mild soap to keep it looking fresh.
  • Aluminum & Chain Link: Light cleaning as needed and check for any loose fittings or hardware.
  • Wood: Apply stain or sealant every few years to protect against weathering.

We provide care instructions specific to your fence type once installation is complete.
