Start with an address and a few photos
Send the address and a picture of the fence line
The gap between a useful first reply and a vague one is mostly how much the first message says. Fences are scoped off footage, height, material, gates and grade, so the more of that you write down now, the sooner you have an answer worth comparing.
Get in touch
Email admin@columbusfenceinstallers.com with your street address and the fence you are planning.
What to put in the first message
- The street address, plus the city or township it falls in. Rules on height, placement and sight lines at driveways and corners are set locally, so the address settles which rulebook applies.
- Roughly how many feet of fence. Pacing the line and counting strides is close enough — a figure within twenty feet beats none. Note whether the run ties into the house or wraps the whole yard.
- The height and material you are picturing, even loosely. Four feet of ornamental aluminum along a front walk and six feet of solid board out back are different projects with different post work under them.
- How many gates, roughly how wide, and where they go. Gates wear out first, so a walk gate near the driveway and a wider one for getting a mower through are worth naming now.
- Whether an old fence has to come out, and what it is built from. Tear-out, pulling old posts and hauling debris off are real parts of the job, and buried footings in the new post line change the day.
- Whether an association has to approve the plan. If a review board is involved, say so immediately — approval can run weeks and moves separately from anything the city or township asks for.
Photos worth taking
Pictures do more work here than paragraphs. Back up far enough that the whole run fits the frame instead of shooting one board up close, and take a shot from each end so any fall in the ground shows. Photograph whatever is in the way: a slope dropping toward the neighbor, trees near the line, and any post already leaning or soft at the ground. A written description of a fence line is guesswork on the other end; four or five wide daylight shots are not.
Who is on the other end
This site is not the fence company. It connects homeowners around Columbus and central Ohio with a fence contractor working the region, and that contractor reads what you send, walks the property with you and builds the fence.
Scope and cost are set by that contractor after a site visit, not here. No page prices a job, because footage, height, gate count, grade and how much old fence comes out move the number further than the material does. Expect a walk-through before any figure means much.

Send the address, the height and material you are after, a rough footage and photos taken from both ends of the line, and a fence contractor working central Ohio will follow up.
