What to Expect When You Book?

Your fencing project begins with an on-site evaluation where measurements, materials, and layout are discussed based on your goals. You'll walk the property line with the crew to confirm placement, gate locations, and any obstacles like utility lines or drainage areas. In Harrisburg, where new subdivisions often have specific design standards, this planning phase ensures compliance and avoids delays.

Thornton Home & Design handles site prep, post-hole digging, material delivery, and installation using equipment suited to local soil types. Posts are set in concrete for maximum stability. The crew communicates timing, progress, and any adjustments as work moves forward, keeping the process transparent and on schedule.

Final inspections confirm that gates swing smoothly, panels are level, and hardware is secure. Cleanup includes removing excess dirt, packaging, and construction debris so your yard is left ready to use. Whether installing a backyard privacy fence or a commercial perimeter, the focus stays on quality, value, and long-term performance.

Choosing the right fence involves understanding materials, maintenance, and local conditions that affect how long your installation lasts and how well it performs.
