Many small fence companies in San Antonio, Texas, offer vinyl fence installation, but few have teams specifically trained in the best practices for installing vinyl fencing.

Unfortunately, this often means your vinyl fence may not be as securely installed as it should be, potentially compromising its quality and lifespan.

Using improper tools and inferior techniques can also damage the vinyl fence during installation, possibly voiding the manufacturer’s warranty if the contractor is unqualified or not approved by the manufacturer.

Here are some of the main risks of working with non-professionals:

1. **Void Warranty**: If the installer goes out of business, the workmanship warranty becomes worthless. Additionally, some manufacturers won’t honor their material warranty if the fence was improperly installed or damaged during the process—a common issue with non-professional installers.

2. **Reduced Fence Longevity**: Professional fence companies like ours provide rigorous training and constant supervision to our installers. Our commitment to mastering the best installation techniques and using high-quality materials ensures your fence’s strength and durability. Companies that install vinyl fences as a side job often lack this expertise, which can significantly shorten the life of your fence.

3. **Property Risk**: Installing vinyl fences in San Antonio can be risky, especially with sudden, harsh weather. We’ve seen concrete splatters on cars, damaged driveways or walkways, and deep tire tracks in lawns—common issues when untrained labor handles the installation. Additionally, if someone gets injured on your property during the installation and the contractor is unlicensed or uninsured, you could be held liable, and your homeowner’s insurance might not cover the costs.

While hiring a novice may seem like a cost-saving option initially, it often leads to expensive consequences that are best avoided.
