Poorly installed fences can be a nightmare to deal with when it comes to your insurer.
It’s not always clear who needs to pay in the event of poor workmanship, and whether you’ll still be covered by your insurance if your fence was installed incorrectly.
You can avoid these hassles altogether by trusting the experienced team at Jim’s Fencing.
We have been installing and repairing fences for over 28 years, so when you deal with us, you’re working with the best in the business.
Some fencing contractors hire out work to unauthorised parties who are paid by the meter and aren’t as dedicated to quality.
With Jim’s Fencing, all work on your fence is carried out by our trusted franchisees, and we never cut corners – in fact, our status as a household name relies on our absolute quality guarantee.
Everyone in the Jim’s Fencing family goes through extensive industry training as well as a police check.
When a trusted member of our team works on your property, you can be worry-free knowing our fences are truly built to last.
Yes, fence damage generally falls under the umbrella of your homeowner’s insurance.
It depends on your insurer and individual insurance policy, so always check the details, but most consider fences to be permanent fixtures – like pools, sheds and solar panels.
Not all insurers will cover fence damage, though, and it always depends on the circumstances.
Your fence will usually be covered by insurance in the event of things like storm and flood damage.
To find out exactly what your insurer covers, and how much you will be covered for, be sure to check your product disclosure statement (PDS).

After being let down by other contractors, who we are still waiting to ‘Come back to us’ Brett came with in a couple of days, at a time convenient to us quoted and the job was done very quickly after that. Would be happy to use again and recommend to others.

Dealing with Aws – Jim’s trees was very easy and his quote ( after trying others) – very reasonable. Paul who did the trimming did exactly as we asked and a perfect clean up. We will use them again when required and recommend them without hesitation. Thanks

Daniel was great. He responded promptly, and really positive and courteous. Our job was relatively small and it was hard attract contractors. The work was done with minimal fuss and site cleaned up.
Would recommend him.

Communication & Quality
Would definitely recommend Gus to anyone looking at building a fence.
He was quick in responding to initial request. He came to site to measure up ASAP. He delivered what he promised.
His communication was exceptional.
Would always come back to me ASAP with answers.
The end product was perfect- exactly what we wanted. One of the hardest working tradesman I have used. Keep up the great quality work and outstanding customer service

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

l couldn’t be happier with the great job on my colour bond fence. The boys were very professional, didn’t waste anytime and did a great job cleaning up before they left. Great price too. Highly recommend.
Tanya Geerts
Caloundra West
Very professional
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).

Attention to detail
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.
