What is not part of fence installation, repair & replacement
Knowing where the line is keeps the visit on track and keeps you safe. When a job belongs to a specialist, NorTech tells you before you book.
- Any fence job that reaches $1,000 in labor and materials, including most full fence runs, goes to a licensed contractor. NorTech flags this before you book.
- Retaining walls that hold back soil, and fences taller than local rules allow without a permit, need a permit and a licensed contractor.
- Electric fence systems and gate openers with wiring are electrical work for a licensed electrician.
- Removing trees or large stumps that block the fence line is its own service on NorTech.
- Deciding who owns a boundary fence, or settling a dispute with a neighbor. Check your survey or records first.

Before you book fence installation, repair & replacement
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Walk the whole line and mark every problem
Walk along both sides of the fence and mark leaning posts, broken boards and loose rails with painters tape. A full list lets the pro quote one visit, and the photos help with a repair that matches.
Know your property line
Find your survey or plat before booking. A new fence built even a few inches over the line causes trouble for years.
Check the post base
Push each post and look at the soil line. Soft, dark wood at the ground means the post is rotting.
Ask about the existing style
Take a photo of the picket shape, the spacing and the top rail. A pro can match boards or order panels more easily with a close picture, and a note on the fence height helps too.
Check rules before changing anything
Ask your HOA or local office about height limits, materials and permits before a new fence or a change in style. A note about what you learned saves the pro a trip.
Clear the fence line
Move bins, planters and vines away from both sides. Secure pets indoors on work day, and tell the pro about sprinkler lines, lights and buried cables near the fence.
Say where in San Carlos you are
Add your neighborhood, for example White Oaks, Howard Park, and Cordes, or your ZIP code to your notes. Pros choose the neighborhoods they cover, and it tells them how far they have to travel.
