Fence Builders of Oklahoma offers financing for fencing projects. If you have pets or are worried about security and safety, having your fence blow down in a storm can be just as bad as your washing machine or hot water tank go out unexpectedly.

Fence Builders of Oklahoma offer a 1 year warranty. Virtual every thing on your fence is covered. Materials and Labor. So say you have a picket that has a knot hole in it that falls out after 10 months. Yup, we'll be out and replace it. If a post becomes loose in the ground because we didn't use enough concrete for whatever reason, we are coming out to fix it. We know for a fact that other companies "offer" a 1 year warranty, but very very few come back out to honor it. That is not the case with us. When you call to get something repaired, as long as you are patient, we ALWAYS will come and make it right!

Repairs are typically done within a week or two, but sometimes can take longer depending on time of year and our workload. The only item that we do not cover in our warranty are pressure treated products from warping, bowing, or shrinking. In 2008, the EPA changed the requirements of what chemicals can be used to treat pressure treated wood. Since then, warping and bowing has been an issue. Obviously when we purchase and install it, its perfect. But several months after install, it may start to bow. We can't look into the future, no matter what supplier we are using or what saw mill we are purchasing lumber from and see which materials we are installing will have defects like this, and which won't.

We do however offer, past the 1 year warranty period, a $150 service call option for repeat customers. If you have an issue like this, 3 years down the line, we charge $150 for the service call, plus the price of whatever material is being replaced.
