Frequently asked questions

How do I quote a fence job without internet?

Use FenceBid to build line items and a PDF on your phone. Data stays on device until you have signal to share or follow up.

Should gates be separate line items?

Yes. Treat gates, posts, and panels as their own lines so the customer sees the scope and you protect margin.

Why send the estimate on site?

A branded PDF while you are still at the property reduces delay and competing bids.
