Project planning
What matters before a fence quote.
Good fence leads usually include the reason for the fence, the line layout, photos, and any rule or access issues.
Sell the project clearly
Privacy, pets, pool safety, curb appeal, security, and storm damage are different motivations. The clearer the reason, the better the recommendation.
Plan before pricing
A quote is easier when the line length, gates, old-fence removal, terrain, and material preference are not guesses.
Send the details that help most.
- Property town and project address area.
- Wide photos of the yard, corners, gates, old fence, and access route.
- Approximate footage, fence height, preferred material, and number of gates.
- Notes about dogs, pools, privacy, neighbors, slopes, ledge, plow zones, or storm damage.
Move from search to estimate.
Use this page as a local search landing page, then open the Fence Planner or contact MJ Fence ME with a clear project description. The easier the project is to understand, the faster it can move toward a useful estimate discussion.

Common questions
Quick answers before you call.
Does MJ Fence ME help with fence project prep checklist?
Use this page to prepare the project, then call or text (207) 432-2943 to confirm current availability, scheduling, and fit for the property.
What details make a fence estimate faster?
Photos, rough fence length, gate locations, removal needs, preferred material, slope, pets, pool areas, and timing goals all help.
Should I verify local rules before installing a fence?
Yes. Fence height, pool barriers, setbacks, HOA rules, permits, and boundary questions can vary by town and property.
Use proof well
Turn project photos into a better fence conversation.
Gallery photos are most useful when they help you point to the look, height, spacing, or gate style you want to discuss.
Pick examples
Save one or two examples that feel close to your property, then explain what you like: height, material, openness, gate style, or finish.
Match to your yard
Think about slope, corners, pets, privacy, driveway openings, and how the fence connects to existing buildings or landscaping.
Photos to send
Send your property photos alongside the gallery example so Matt can compare what is realistic for your layout.
Mistakes to avoid
Do not assume every project photo transfers perfectly. Soil, grade, access, and code questions can change the final plan.
