The Summit Difference: Why Our Employee Crews Deliver a Better Fence

When you decide to invest in a new fence, you're not just buying wood, vinyl, or iron; you're investing in security, privacy, and the long-term value of your property. You spend time choosing the right materials and style, but one of the most critical factors in the quality and durability of your fence is often overlooked: who is actually building it. Many companies in the fencing industry rely on subcontractors, but at Summit Fence Company, we believe there's a better way. We've built our reputation in Colorado Springs on the principle that using our own dedicated, professional employee crews is the only way to guarantee the exceptional quality our clients deserve. This isn't just a business decision—it's the core of our philosophy for building fences that last.

Direct Accountability and Consistent Training

One of the biggest challenges in the construction industry today is the shortage of skilled labor. This often leads companies to hire temporary or subcontracted crews to meet demand. The problem with this model is the lack of control over training and accountability. A subcontractor's primary loyalty is to their own business, not necessarily to the standards of the company that hired them.

At Summit Fence Company, our installers are our employees. This means they are an integral part of our team, invested in our company's mission and reputation. We provide them with ongoing training on our specific installation techniques and quality standards, which are designed to withstand the unique challenges of the Front Range climate, from intense sun to heavy winds and the occasional hailstorm. Because they work for us directly, they are fully accountable for the quality of their work on every single project. This direct line of responsibility ensures that the person building your fence is committed to upholding the Summit Fence standard of excellence, not just completing a job and moving on to the next.

Unwavering Commitment to Quality Control

How can a company guarantee the quality of its work if it doesn't have direct oversight of the installation process? When subcontractors are involved, ensuring consistent quality across different crews and job sites becomes incredibly difficult. Each subcontractor may have their own methods, tools, and standards.

By using our own employee crews, we maintain complete control over the entire project from start to finish. Our project managers and crew leaders work together as a unified team, following a proven process that ensures nothing is left to chance. This starts with selecting premium-grade materials for our popular cedar fence installations and extends to our meticulous installation methods. We conduct inspections throughout the project, not just at the end, to ensure every post is set perfectly, every panel is aligned, and every gate functions flawlessly. This rigorous quality control process is simply not possible to the same degree when outsourcing the labor. It’s this commitment that allows us to confidently stand behind the durability and craftsmanship of every fence we build.

Seamless Communication and a Smoother Project Experience

Clear and consistent communication is a top priority for anyone undertaking a home improvement project. When you're working with a company that uses subcontractors, you often face communication gaps. The salesperson you spoke with isn't the person managing the project, who in turn isn't the person leading the installation crew. This can lead to misunderstandings, delays, and frustration.

Our in-house model streamlines communication and creates a much smoother, more transparent experience for you. Your point of contact at Summit Fence Company has a direct line to the crew working on your property. Any questions you have can be answered quickly and accurately. Any changes or on-site decisions can be made efficiently without having to go through multiple layers of different companies. This integrated team approach means we operate as a well-oiled machine, minimizing disruptions to your daily life and ensuring your project stays on schedule and on budget. Whether it's a large commercial fencing solution or a simple cedar privacy fence for your backyard, our unified team ensures your vision is executed perfectly.
