01

Verify every fence run

Sketch and measure each run, record gates and widths, and identify corners, slopes, retaining conditions, obstructions, removals, access, and restoration.

02

Confirm boundary assumptions

Do not treat tax maps, online parcel outlines, existing fences, or landscaping as legal boundaries. Ask whether a survey is appropriate and confirm recorded easements.

03

Specify the installed system

Require height, material and grade, posts, spacing, footing or concrete method, rails, panels or pickets, fasteners, gates, hardware, finish, warranty, and exclusions.

04

Check local restrictions

Confirm zoning, height, setbacks, corner visibility, pool barriers, utility locating, association restrictions, permits, inspections, and responsibility for changes.

What this Sterling Heights range does—and does not—mean

The 1.00 adjustment is a broad planning assumption used consistently across HomeScope examples. It is not a measured price index or claim about the Sterling Heights market. Material, height, gates, posts, soil, terrain, access, removal, property-line work, utilities, contractor availability, and written local proposals determine actual cost.
