Jim's Fencing
Front yard fencing is rarely included by a builder or developer, meaning you and your neighbours on a new estate will all be in the same boat. Why not work together and coordinate your new fence installation?
If you’re not sure where to turn, you can count on Jim’s Fencing to provide the answers.
When one homeowner chooses a brick wall with slat fencing while the others choose tubular fencing, it can create a look that clashes.
It’s better to work as a group and engage a professional fencing contractor like Jim’s Fencing. We can recommend a fencing style that suits the architectural style of your residential estate.
A unified style makes for an eye-catching and fashionable look for the entire street, which can even increase the value of your home.
Not only that, but coordinating your fencing with your neighbours can give everyone a sizable cost saving during the installation process.
By working with your neighbours as a group, you will often be able to negotiate a discounted rate for residents of your development with your fencing contractor. If multiple homeowners are using the same contractor to fence their homes, you’re sure to get great value on your boundary fencing.
Every housing estate, council and state will have different guidelines on how to go about installing a new fence. Most neighbours are very considerate and will make the process very smooth. The easiest way to navigate shared fencing dilemmas is to keep channels of communication open.
Start by calling your estate’s sales office, management team, or your local council to get contact details for your neighbours – this is especially important if your homes are in different stages of construction and the owners aren’t on-site yet.
You need to maintain communication with your neighbours and give them the chance to voice their perspective. Some neighbours won’t mind what you do and are happy to pay their share once the fence is built. Others will want an active role in the process, so be prepared to listen and come to a decision that suits everyone.
After gaining some direction on fencing styles and options, the next step is to obtain quotes from a local fencing contractor like Jim’s Fencing. After having the opportunity to evaluate the quotes, you can then move forward with new fence installation on your estate.
Most neighbours are going to be pleasant and civil, but at the end of the day, they are required to pay an equal share for a sufficient boundary fence. If your neighbours make the process difficult, a fencing order can be issued by the court as a last resort. However, it’s always better to come to a happy agreement together – after all, these are the neighbours you’re going to have for the foreseeable future!

Go over and above
These guys are great. Got me out of trouble on an hours notice on Christmas eve after my dog broke through our fence. Came back after the proper panels were available and soldiered on through a heavy storm, with smiles on their face the whole time. Definitely over and above. Couldn’t recommend Leon and Georgine enough. Thanks guys

I can highly recommend Jim’s fencing Caloundra West. They are very professional, from quote to placing the fencing, it has been a very smooth process. The guys are friendly, pricing is competitive and the turn around time was quick. We are very pleased with the quality workmanship of the lap wooden fencing and the pool fencing (aluminium and glass).

Could not recommend Pat and his workmanship and skill high enough. Recently had Pat erect 150m of rural fencing for my parents at their property. They are so very happy with the end result and will ensure my beautiful cattle are kept in the right paddock! Attention to detail is definitely assured! Clare is amazing and super easy to do all transactions with! Dynamic duo!

Excellent service
Excellent service from the get go. Couldn’t have asked for a more professional and responsive person to undertake the extensive work required at my property. I had severe damage caused by a storm and Mike was round quickly to assess and quote. He made the the whole process painless and ensured that the work was completed as quick as possible. The end result is a brand new fence completed to the highest quality. Thanks Mike for your help and if anyone is looking some fencing, look no further.
Hermann Steegar
Morley
Exceedingly Efficient
We were very cautious about contacting a large company regarding our fencing requirements but now cannot speak more highly of Amel at Jim’s Fencing Morley.
Amel has been exceedingly efficient with his quotation and work and very flexible in meeting our requirements.
The work required one visit to quote, another visit to install fence posts prior to concrete pour and a final visit to install fence panels. Amel has been able to complete all this in the time frames required and agreed. We are very grateful to Amel and recommend his fencing services to everyone. Thanks very much!

Affordable Solutions
Darin and Emma from Jim’s Fencing Coffs Harbour South have always been professional, courteous and reasonably priced. They’ve done a number of small jobs for us now, and nothing is ever a problem. They correctly colour matched my fence and offered practical and affordable solutions for improved privacy. I highly recommend them for any fencing or screening need.

Attention to details
Gus was very responsive to my calls, enquiries and emails.
He delivered the job earlier than I expected and I was surprised with his attention to detail and the standard of his work – as I am very picky myself!
I would definitely use his company if I ever need it again!! I will be referring him to my friends and family, without a doubt!!

Somerville
Highly recommend
James from Somerville, came out to view and estimate our blown down fence at the behest of my neighbour. With a very reasonable quote, we accepted, and he proffered a date.
Arriving on the said date and time, he already soared in my opinion, having not met him before, he was more than happy to explain all that would happen …. and d’ya know what, it did happen, no issues although parts were tricky, no unforeseen problems in the way – he just motored on.
He cleared the old fencing, reposted the uprights, erected the new slats and kickboard…. and … tidied all the soil round about the uprights and kickboard … Legend !
Would I recommend him ? … already have to the rest of the neighbours, if they are getting work done – phone this guy.

Very professional
The experience working with Ramandeep was professional from beginning to end. His quotation was very competitive, his service was delivered with 48 hours notice and the final result was excellent.
I usually don’t review business in Google, but this time is worth it.
The new owner is almost always responsible for the cost of installing a fence on a new estate. And because fences are shared, fencing costs are shared too.
From new fence installation to repairs, you are usually splitting those costs with your neighbours who share that fenceline. That means if you share boundaries with two of your neighbours, any costs for the property’s fence are going to be divided three ways.
The law states that when a fence needs to be built, neighbours that share boundaries have to contribute equally for a fence to be built to the minimum standard. However that doesn’t mean that if your neighbour wants a fancy or elaborate fence that you are going to be stuck with a bigger bill.
Legally, you are only required to pay for half of what is considered to be a standard fence for your estate.
However, in most cases, neighbours can come to a happy agreement about what kind of fence they’d like and how much to spend on it.
The team at Jim’s Fencing is experienced in all things estate fencing, including drawing up quotes and arranging for neighbourhood fence installation. If you need advice or want to get the ball rolling, talk to someone from our friendly team.
