Licensed Fence Contractors Urged as Key to Safety, Compliance in Bay Area Installations

With increasing safety concerns and stricter building codes across the Bay Area, Duce Construction Deck & Fence is urging homeowners to hire only licensed, bonded, and insured contractors for fence installation projects in their latest blog post at https://duceco.com/always-hire-licensed-fence-contractor/. The company, which has been serving the region for over 40 years, warns that using unlicensed contractors not only compromises safety and durability, but may also expose homeowners to financial and legal liability.

"Every year, we see homeowners face serious setbacks after choosing the lowest bid from unlicensed individuals," said Susan Duce, co-owner of Duce Construction Deck & Fence. "What they don't realize is that cutting corners can void material warranties, violate local building codes, and even result in costly fines or litigation. A properly licensed contractor protects your investment and ensures your fence stands the test of time."

Licensed fence contractors are trained to navigate state and local regulations, including securing the correct permits and coordinating required inspections. They also have access to high-quality, fire-resistant materials-an increasingly important factor given the Bay Area's wildfire risks. Beyond compliance and materials, licensed professionals provide workmanship warranties and insurance coverage that unlicensed operators often lack.

Improperly installed fences not only deteriorate quickly, but can also pose physical hazards to families, pets, and neighboring properties. As fire seasons grow more severe, substandard fences made from flammable or inappropriate materials can accelerate the spread of fire rather than help protect a home.

In contrast, reputable contractors like Duce Construction offer peace of mind through thorough licensing verification, worker's compensation coverage, and strong client references. "We recommend homeowners check the California State License Board's website to confirm a contractor's status and request proof of bond and insurance before any work begins," added Duce.

Homeowners are also advised to be cautious of unusually low bids, which often signal inadequate credentials or cost-cutting practices. Duce Construction emphasizes that legitimate estimates from licensed professionals reflect not just materials and labor, but also the value of experience, proper permitting, and customer service.
