The biggest complaint about vinyl over the years has been its inability to withstand cold climates.  Our vinyl systems are made with carefully selected ingredients designed to increase durability and long-term performance.  They are made with a high percentage of titanium dioxide.  Often you find “big box” companies selling similar products with a cheaper price tag.  But the old saying “you get what you pay for” rings true here.  Often their products have less titanium dioxide and without it vinyl fence can become cracked or brittle due to weather.

Our product is high quality and is made to withstand the temperature changes. The product is tested to the highest of standards performance and meets all of the American Society for Testing and Materials International  (ASTM) qualifications!

ASTM is a globally recognized leader in the development and delivery of international voluntary consensus standards. Today, some 12,000 ASTM standards are used around the world to improve product quality, enhance safety, facilitate market access and trade, and build consumer confidence.

So while our product should never cause the frustration of a crack, we do offer a limited lifetime warranty against cracking, peeling, and fading.  However, we are confident properly installed and cared for you will not even have to worry about it!

If you have unfortunately bought from a “big box” company and find yourself highly frustrated with the quality we will be happy to give you a free quote on a vinyl system that will last you for years to come!

People who own and operate their own business take “pride” in their work; it is common for their quality and efficiency to be much higher. In many cases small businesses are known for providing their customers personalized and customized, high-quality products and services.  Here at Summit Fence Supply the same is true.  We strive to provide you with the best quality for your money.

We work hard.  The hours are often long.  But unlike a larger company we are paid by the job, not the amount of time put into that job.  Companies will try and take advantage of smaller unestablished businesses.  They often know how much harder we work, but frankly do not care.  They know that every job means a paycheck so we will bend over backwards to get the job done.  We will send product without pay, we will complete research, endless hours of research without compensation.  And we will do it because the larger company is a reputable company.  A well known company.  An established larger company.

Small businesses are often trustworthy people who think that others are just as trustworthy, especially larger businesses, after all they were once a small business!

As a small business owner we have to constantly be on our guard.  We have to go above and beyond to protect ourselves from getting conned out of the money owed to us.   With two pieces of documentation we can safeguard ourselves.  These two documents does not mean we will get our money faster or without trouble.  But it does mean we have a leg to fight on.  Every small business supplier needs to know about the Notice of Commencement and the  Notice of Furnishings.

The Notice of Commencement is exactly what you would think it is.  It is a legal document that announces work is about to begin on a home building or remodeling project.  It provides interested parties with the information needed to follow the construction lien procedures properly.

The Notice of Furnishing provides proof that a supplier, subcontractor, or laborer has provided labor or materials toward a construction project.

Small business owners need to make friends with some lawyers and play nice with larger businesses.  Do the proper paperwork and allow the lawyers to enforce the law!   Going at a larger company with just your overdue balance and stressed out bank account will not get you far.

Here are a few tips on how to prevent neighborhood squabbles while maintaining and enjoying your shared fence. Boundary fences sit on the boundary line between two adjacent properties. Sometimes referred to as division fences, all boundary fences must conform to the laws established by Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&R’s). CC&R’s are governing documents that dictate how the homeowners associations operate and what rules the owners must obey.

When a fence is constructed, both property owners own the fence if they both “use” the fence. Though laws vary by state, there are some guidelines that most fence laws and ordinances are patterned after. It is important to note that “occupancy” typically refers to the use of the land up to the fence. “Join” refers to the attachment of another fence to the boundary fence. “Entire enclosure” refers to the property owner’s entire property being enclosed by the attachment of other fencing to the boundary fencing.

Responsibility for the maintenance of boundary fences is typically cast on the owners that use the fence unless there is an agreement indicating otherwise. Most ordinances place responsibility on both parties because both parties benefit from the fence. Therefore, when a repair or routine maintenance is required, both property owners must split the cost.

If a property owner refuses to pay their share of a repair or maintenance of the fence, the other party can proceed by:

–Drafting a letter to the neighbor to explain the problem with the fence.
–Move forward by having the repair or maintenance performed. Write a demand letter requesting payment from the neighbor.
–Go forward into mediation. If the law provides a provision, you may request a “fence viewer” to examine the fence and make a recommendation of whether the fence requires repair and if the repair or maintenance is reasonable.
–Sue the neighbor for reimbursement.

Typically because both property owners utilize the fence, both have a vested interest in maintaining and protecting their fence. Remember the old adage, a good fence makes a good neighbor.

It is a kind gesture to consult with your neighbors before constructing a fence in your yard. Here are some thoughts to consider. It is important to check your property lines before construction of your new fence. This is a great time to chat with neighbors and mention your the possibility of your new fence. Checking a property line can be as simple as locating the existing pins that were put in place by a surveyor at the time your home was built. If you are unable to locate the pins on your property, it is best to consult with your county records office.

To decrease unexpected problems, safety hazards and costs, notify your utilities before construction. Many states have free assessments and tagging of utilities for construction projects.

If you are working with a contractor, chance are that they will pull a building permit for you. However, if you are a do-it-yourself installer, contacting your local city and obtaining a building permit is an important step that is often overlooked. A building permit serves as permission from your municipality. Every city or county has different rules. Each area has different rules. Though some projects do not require a building permit, most city’s require a permit for major remodeling, new buildings, swimming pools and demolition.

After you have selected your fence, obtained the necessary permits and are ready for construction, you can ask for your neighbors’ thoughts on the project. Consider asking them if there are any times that they would prefer construction not occur. Review your fence selection with them and ask their thoughts on the material, placement and height of the fence.

Though your neighbors may have some negative comments or suggestions about your fencing plan, you should still move forward with what is best for your family as long as it is within the law.

Remember your new fence is also your neighbors new fence. In the end, your neighbors will thank you for including them in your decision and are more likely to welcome your new fence if they are involved in the process.
