Ask for their GA contractor license number, then verify it yourself at the state licensing website before signing anything.
Request a certificate of insurance. Call the carrier directly to confirm general liability and workers' comp are active.
Get at least three written bids. Any quote more than 30% below average is a red flag, not a deal.
Ask specifically about permit requirements for fencing. A contractor who says "no permit needed" for structural work is a liability.
Read recent Google and BBB reviews for complaint patterns, not just star averages. One-star reviews reveal how disputes get resolved.

Fence permits are required in most cities when height exceeds 6 feet or the fence is installed within a utility easement or right-of-way. HOA approval may also be required. Verify local ordinances before installation, since unpermitted fences can require mandatory removal.
