Hancock Fence residential fencing in scenic backyard with pool

Did you know that the best time of the year to replace your fence is during the fall and winter?

After 32 years in the fence replacement business we have noticed annual patterns that come back year after year. People seem to be less likely to embark on home projects or fence replacement right after labor day. We always see a slower period from “back to school time” until April of the following year. There are variables from year to year, but in general… we expect it.

We always keep busy from season to season, but during the spring and summer we easily become overwhelmed and this leads to long wait times and honestly less time getting to know our customers. Our crazy spring storms don’t help at all!

During the fall and winter we are not so “pressed” so we get to spend more quality time with our customers. We see material prices stabilize, the schedule is less hectic, and generally the weather is fine. Our installers like the cold weather while they are working. You can always put on more layers to keep warm.
Nobody likes working in the rain or snow, but luckily we don’t have too much of that.

If you are not in a pinch and can wait to schedule your fence replacement until the fall, we highly recommend it. We can usually offer you slightly better prices and our service cant be beat!
