Commercial Aluminum Fencing San Luis Obispo, CA

Our 5-Step Process for Installing Commercial Aluminum Fences

Over more than a decade serving the San Luis Obispo area, Fence San Luis Obispo has fine-tuned a customer-focused process for commercial aluminum fence supply and installation. Here is what you can expect as a valued client working with our fence contracting team:

Step 1: On-Site Consultation & Quote Preparation

The journey begins when we visit your business’ property for an in-person consultation. Our commercial fence experts will:

• Carefully assess your site layout, terrain variations and access points to plan appropriate aluminum fence alignments, post positioning and gate locations
• Identify potential install challenges like subsurface utilities/features, giving you transparency upfront on what to budget for excavation services if needed
• Discuss with you or other stakeholders your desired fence height, style preferences, access control requirements and any relevant codes/zoning provisions to inform fence design
• Provide seasoned guidance on selecting the optimal grade and finish of aluminum – from basic mill finish to durable powder coating in black, bronze and other optional colors – based on your priorities, settings and budget
• Verify when you need the commercial aluminum fence installation completed by so we can reserve team availability
• Answer absolutely any other questions or concerns you may have!

Armed with precise site measurements and insights gathered during our on-site meeting, we then prepare a detailed project quote outlining all specifications, materials and services for installing your aluminum commercial fencing system per our discussions. We’ll promptly email this over for you to review and sign off on before work begins.

Step 2: Materials Sourcing & Delivery Scheduling

Now that a final quote for your new commercial-grade aluminum fencing is signed off on, our team gets straight to work ordering all necessary fencing materials, hardware and gate accessories from our trusted suppliers. This ensures every component required will be on hand for timely project completion by your desired install date.

Given manufacturing and shipping lead times, expect it to take roughly 2 to 4 weeks for your aluminum fencing materials to arrive. In consideration of storage space limitations, we’ll coordinate with you on an accurate delivery date for having it all shipped directly to your commercial property, unless alternate arrangements are agreed to.

Step 3: Installation Preparations

While awaiting your fence materials delivery, your dedicated project manager will be busy completing key preparations to ensure an efficient install process, such as:

• Applying for and obtaining any required commercial fencing permits from local building departments
• Verifying underground utility locations if needed to prevent lines damage during post digging
• Scheduling our professional installation crew’s availability to complete work within your requested timeframe
• Confirming you’ve cleared at least a 3-foot access path along proposed fence alignments for our crews to maneuver in with equipment for digging, setting posts and mounting fencing
• Coordinating anything else necessary so your aluminum fence project stays on track

Once materials arrive and all preparatory tasks are completed, our crews will be ready to commence construction on-site.

Step 4: Professional Commercial Aluminum Fence Installation

Now the exciting part – transformational progress you’ll get to watch firsthand as our skilled fencing technicians bring your new commercial-grade aluminum perimeter fence system to life!

Here’s an overview of the key phases involved:

Site Prep & Layout: Before digging, we’ll use marker paint/stakes to lay out clearly defined fence lines per original plans. Our crew foreman will also walk the site once more to spot-check for potential underground obstacles not previously identified.

Post Hole Digging & Installation: We utilize powerful earth augers to bore evenly-spaced holes to proper depths for fence post footings based on height. For most commercial aluminum fences, holes are dug 24-30 inches deep and 10-12 inches wide. Crews then carefully set posts plumb in holes, bracing temporarily until permanent cross-members are installed for reinforcement.

Cross-Member Attachment: With posts aligned perfectly in place, installers mount horizontal cross-members securely to join each post at proper heights. These sturdy interconnecting rails provide the backbone to support long stretches of fencing through years of wind, rain and other elements.

Panel & Gate Installation: Now the fun part – crews hoist lightweight aluminum fence panels into place, attaching them firmly onto posts and cross-members through pre-set bracketing. Skilled welding may also be utilized for seamless connections and optimal durability. Likewise, any custom gates ordered are hung precisely within their openings using heavy-duty gate hardware built to withstand constant commercial opening/closing.

Finishing Touches: To complete installation, crews recheck all joint connections, gate functions and overall fence stability/alignment. We’ll also clean up the work site, hauling away debris or leftover materials and restoring any adjacent landscape areas impacted. Lastly, we’ll provide guidance to client reps on maintaining the new aluminum commercial fencing system properly over its extended lifecycle.

With a perfect commercial fence installation now protected by solid limited warranties – plus our team’s ongoing service commitment – all that’s left for you to do is enjoy the security and aesthetic enhancement for decades on end!

Step 5: Customer Service & Warranty Support

That’s why Fence San Luis Obispo provides responsive post-installation support and services along with ironclad limited warranties on labor and materials – backed by the fence industry’s leading manufacturers.

Should you ever experience any problems with gates failing to close properly, sections becoming wobbly, or finish coatings wearing prematurely, simply give our service team a call. More often than not, we can dispatch crews promptly to make minor repairs or adjustments covered under warranty at no additional cost to you.

For more extensive damage due to incidents like vehicle collisions with fence lines, we’re also here as a trusted partner to facilitate warrantied replacement of components – getting your commercial aluminum perimeter barrier looking like new again quickly.
