Fence Warranty & Installation Standards
M.A.E Contracting installs fences using proven construction standards and provides a stated warranty on installed fences. This page explains how our installation practices support long-term performance and what our fence warranty is intended to cover, so property owners know what to expect before work begins.
Fence Installation Warranty Overview
M.A.E Contracting states that a warranty is offered on installed fences. While detailed written terms are not publicly published, the warranty is intended to address workmanship related issues that result directly from installation. This means the warranty focuses on how the fence was installed rather than damage caused by outside forces, aging, or misuse.
With more than 20 years of industry experience, our warranty reflects confidence in proper fence construction methods, material handling, and installation consistency across residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial projects throughout Florida and Southeast Georgia.
Installation Standards That Support Warranty Coverage
A fence warranty depends on consistent installation standards. Our crews follow practical, field-tested methods designed to improve structural integrity, alignment, and longevity.
Core installation standards include:
Post depth and spacing appropriate for fence type and soil conditions
Concrete set posts to reduce shifting and premature leaning
Straight, level panels and rails for uniform appearance and stability
Secure fasteners and hardware rated for outdoor use
Proper gate framing, hinge placement, and latch alignment
Jobsite practices that protect landscaping and existing structures
Material-Specific Installation Practices
Each fencing material requires a different installation approach.
Wood fencing requires attention to post protection, fastener spacing, and drainage to reduce premature deterioration. Vinyl fencing relies on accurate measurements and secure post anchoring to prevent movement or warping. Aluminum fencing and chain-link fencing require correct tensioning and alignment to maintain strength and smooth gate operation.
Custom gates and gate operator installations are handled with additional care, including proper footing support, balanced gate weight, and precise hardware placement to ensure reliable daily use.
What the Fence Warranty Typically Does Not Cover
To set realistic expectations, installation warranties generally do not apply to:
Storm damage, flooding, or fallen trees
Normal weathering, fading, or material aging
Damage from vehicles, equipment, or animals
Alterations or repairs performed by others
