Acme Fence – Zephyrhills, Dade City, San Antonio & Surrounding Areas
When homeowners search for a fence installer, the natural instinct is to compare prices. But there’s one question that matters even more than cost:
👉 Is your fence contractor licensed, fully insured, and registered to pull permits in your city?
At Acme Fence / GetFenceNow.com, we are licensed, carry full liability insurance, and have workers’ compensation insurance for every employee on your job site. We also handle all required permits in Dade City, San Antonio, and Zephyrhills — so homeowners don’t have to navigate paperwork or deal with code enforcement.
✅ Why Licensing & Insurance Protect YOU (the homeowner)
Many fence companies claim to be “licensed and insured,” but homeowners are shocked to learn that:
Liability insurance ≠ workers’ comp
A business license ≠ a contractor license
A permit must be pulled by the contractor, not the homeowner, for legal jobsite coverage
When a contractor lacks workers’ compensation insurance, YOU can be held responsible for injuries on your property. Without liability insurance, you could be financially responsible for damage to utilities, neighbor property, or HOA-restricted areas.
With Acme Fence, you're protected.
✔ Licensed fence contractor
✔ Workers’ compensation insurance
✔ $1M+ liability insurance
✔ Permit pulled with contractor listed as the installer
✔ Fully documented proof furnished upon request
✅ Why Permits Matter in Dade City, San Antonio & Zephyrhills
Each municipality has zoning rules, property setbacks, and height requirements. If a contractor doesn’t pull a permit:
The city can issue a stop-work order
The fence may have to be removed at the homeowner’s expense
Fines can be issued
A future home sale can be delayed due to unpermitted structures
At Acme Fence, we handle everything:
City / Area | Permit Required? | Who Pulls the Permit? |
Dade City | ✅ Yes | Acme Fence (contractor) |
San Antonio | ✅ Yes | Acme Fence |
Zephyrhills | ✅ Yes | Acme Fence |
We never ask homeowners to pull their own permits. If a contractor asks you to do that, it’s a red flag — it usually means they are not properly licensed to work in that jurisdiction.
✅ Cheap Fence Companies Can Cost You Thousands
Here are real risks of using uninsured or unlicensed installers:
🚫 If an unlicensed installer hits a gas or water line — you pay for repairs🚫 If an installer gets hurt — you may be liable for medical costs🚫 If HOA or city code is violated — you pay to remove and replace the fence
Saving $300 today can cost you $3,000–$7,000 later.
✅ Acme Fence Difference
When you hire Acme Fence:
You get a professionally installed fence built to code
You are covered legally and financially
You have a local partner who stands behind the work
We provide premium vinyl, aluminum, chain link, and privacy fencing, backed by warranty and proper documentation.
✅ Final Thoughts: Protect Your Home. Hire Right.
Before signing a fence estimate with anyone, ask these 3 questions:
Are you licensed to pull the permit in my city?
Can you provide proof of workers’ comp and liability insurance?
Will your employees be on the jobsite (not unvetted subcontractors)?
At Acme Fence, the answer to all three is YES.
“The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of a low price is forgotten.”
