Terms of Service

Effective Date: August 10, 2026

Welcome to Affordable Fence, Inc. These Terms of Service explain the general conditions that apply when you request or purchase services from us.

By accepting an estimate, signing a proposal or agreement, paying a deposit, or authorizing us to begin work, you agree to these Terms and any additional terms included in your project documents.

1. About Affordable Fence

Affordable Fence, Inc. (“Affordable Fence,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a licensed, bonded, and insured fence contractor based in Bloomington, Indiana.

We serve residential and commercial customers throughout Monroe County and surrounding areas.

2. Our Services

Our services may include:

  • Fence installation
  • Fence replacement
  • Fence repair and maintenance
  • Residential fencing
  • Commercial fencing
  • Gates and related fence services
  • Other services included in an approved estimate or proposal

The specific scope of work, materials, pricing, and project requirements will be described in the customer’s written estimate, proposal, or service agreement.

3. Estimates and Proposals

We provide free estimates based on the information available when the property and project are evaluated.

Estimates may consider:

  • Fence type and materials
  • Property size and layout
  • Labor requirements
  • Site and soil conditions
  • Removal of existing fencing
  • Gates and additional features
  • Permit or approval requirements
  • Other project-specific factors

An estimate does not guarantee a final price until the project scope and terms have been approved by both Affordable Fence and the customer.

4. Project Approval

Work may be scheduled after the customer approves the proposal and completes any required paperwork or payment.

The approved proposal will include the project-specific details and may contain additional terms that apply to the work.

If there is a conflict between these general Terms and a signed project agreement, the terms of the signed agreement will apply to that project.

5. Pricing and Payment

Project pricing and payment requirements will be provided in the customer’s estimate or agreement.

A deposit may be required before materials are ordered or work is scheduled. The remaining balance must be paid according to the agreed payment schedule.

The customer is responsible for additional costs resulting from approved changes, undisclosed property conditions, or work outside the original scope.

6. Scheduling and Project Delays

Estimated start and completion dates are provided for planning purposes and are not guaranteed.

Project schedules may be affected by:

  • Weather conditions
  • Permit or inspection delays
  • Material availability
  • Utility-marking delays
  • Site or soil conditions
  • Customer-requested changes
  • Events outside our reasonable control

Affordable Fence will provide reasonable notice when a significant scheduling change occurs.

7. Property Access

The customer must provide Affordable Fence and its authorized workers with safe and reasonable access to the project area during scheduled working hours.

The project area should be reasonably clear of vehicles, personal belongings, animals, and other obstructions before work begins.

8. Property Boundaries and Customer Responsibilities

The customer is responsible for confirming property boundaries and providing accurate information about the project site.

The customer must inform Affordable Fence about known:

  • Property lines and boundary markers
  • Easements and restrictions
  • Private utility lines
  • Irrigation systems
  • Septic systems
  • Underground wires or pipes
  • Homeowners’ association requirements
  • Other conditions that may affect the project

Affordable Fence may recommend a professional property survey when boundaries are unclear. If the customer chooses to proceed without a recommended survey, the customer accepts responsibility for issues caused by inaccurate or unconfirmed boundary information.

9. Utilities and Underground Conditions

Public utilities should be properly marked before digging begins.

The customer is responsible for identifying private utilities and systems that are not marked by public utility-location services.

Affordable Fence is not responsible for damage caused by private or incorrectly marked underground systems that were not disclosed before work began.

Unexpected rocks, roots, buried materials, unstable soil, or other hidden conditions may require additional work and charges.

10. Permits and Approvals

Responsibility for permits, homeowners’ association approval, zoning requirements, and other necessary approvals will be identified in the estimate or agreement.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the customer is responsible for confirming that the planned fence complies with property restrictions, neighborhood requirements, and applicable regulations.

11. Materials

Fence materials may naturally vary in color, grain, texture, size, or appearance. These normal variations are not considered defects.

Material availability may affect the project schedule. If an approved material is unavailable, Affordable Fence will discuss a suitable alternative with the customer before making a substitution.

12. Changes and Additional Work

Any change to the original project scope must be approved by Affordable Fence and the customer.

Changes may affect:

  • Project pricing
  • Material requirements
  • Payment terms
  • Start or completion dates

Whenever reasonably possible, Affordable Fence will notify the customer before completing additional work that may result in extra charges.

13. Warranty

Any workmanship or material warranty provided for a project will be explained in the customer’s proposal, agreement, or warranty documentation.

Manufacturer warranties may apply to certain fencing materials and products.

Unless otherwise stated in writing, warranties do not cover damage caused by:

  • Misuse or neglect
  • Improper maintenance
  • Unauthorized repairs or modifications
  • Accidents or impact
  • Severe weather or natural disasters
  • Ground movement or soil conditions
  • Normal wear and tear
  • Circumstances outside Affordable Fence’s reasonable control

14. Cancellation

Project cancellation terms will be provided in the estimate or agreement.

If a customer cancels after approving a project, the customer may be responsible for work already completed, materials already purchased or ordered, restocking charges, administrative costs, and other project-related expenses already incurred.

15. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Affordable Fence’s responsibility for a verified workmanship or service issue will be limited to correcting the affected work or providing another reasonable remedy.

Affordable Fence is not responsible for delays, damage, or additional costs resulting from inaccurate customer information, unmarked private utilities, undisclosed site conditions, customer actions, third parties, or events outside our reasonable control.

16. Privacy and Customer Information

We may collect customer information for:

  • Estimate requests
  • Project communication
  • Scheduling
  • Service delivery
  • Payment processing
  • Recordkeeping
  • Customer follow-up

We do not sell customers’ personal information. Please review our Privacy Policy for more information about how customer information is collected, used, and protected.

17. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Indiana.

Affordable Fence and the customer agree to first attempt to resolve any concern or dispute through good-faith communication. Any unresolved matter will be handled according to applicable Indiana law.

18. Updates to These Terms

Affordable Fence may update these Terms periodically. Changes will become effective when the revised Terms are published on our website with an updated effective date.

Updates will not replace the terms of an existing signed agreement unless both parties agree to the change in writing.

19. Acceptance

By approving an estimate, signing an agreement, paying a deposit, or authorizing Affordable Fence to begin work, the customer confirms that they have reviewed and accepted these Terms and the project-specific conditions included in their approved proposal.
