Carl's is fully licensed in both New Jersey and New York to undertake construction work. To guarantee that our clients are properly protected, we hold both liability and workers' compensation insurance.

When performing work that requires a permit, one should always be in place. Permits trigger important inspections, often throughout the project. When building a new deck, for example, having a building inspector 'Pass' the footings for that deck is an extra level of protection and responsibility for the customer. Also, all that wonderful insurance Carl's carries (above) will be moot if there is no permit. When an accident occurs on a project that should have a valid permit in place, but none was secured, the insurance company will not cover the accident in most cases. Bottom line: Permits are necessary, important, and in place to protect you.For fencing projects, we put the obligation of securing the permit on our customers, as a fencing permit is a simple process. For all other construction projects, Carl's will complete all necessary paperwork and work with the municipality directly on your behalf to secure all permits.

At Carl's install crews are held to high standards when it comes to quality of work, punctuation, and background checks. Every job in the field is supervised by a Crew Chief, an Outside Construction Manager, or both. Most installs are done by Carl's Fencing & Decking trained employees but we also use certified sub-contractors at the height of our season that are held to the same standards of our direct employees.

That depends on the job. Most fencing and roofing installs are done in one day! Siding, windows, decking... they can be anywhere from a few days to a few weeks depending on the size of the project and the scope of work. Remember, all the projects we install are custom jobs (because no two houses are identical). Whole house renovations and storm remediation, for example, can go on for months, but most basic projects are complete within a couple weeks. Your Project Consultant will be able to advise you of an expected time frame based on your unique scope of work.

Absolutely. At Carl's we take pride in our work and even have a dedicated repairs department for any issues that may arise during or after your project to ensure you are completely taken care of and satisfied with your project.

The first step is to contact us to set an appointment for one of our Project Consultants to meet with you, review the project, and take measurements. Once a proposal is developed and agreed upon...

The process can differ slightly based on the type of project, but once we receive a contract, rest assured we are working hard behind the scenes to make sure your project goes off without a hitch, and you get exactly what you're expecting. Logistical planning, fence fabrication, material ordering and delivery coordination, pre-construction meetings, permit application completion, and debris management preparations are just a few of the activities that often take place prior to your project beginning. In many cases, you don't have to do anything but wait for us to provide you with a Start-Date.
