Cheap vs. Least Expensive: Why It Matters When Hiring a Fence Contractor
At Legacy Fence, we hear it all the time: “You’re not the cheapest quote I got.” And we’re not.
But we like to say this instead:
“I’m not the cheapest. I’m the least expensive.”
Sound like a contradiction? Let’s break it down.
What “Cheap” Really Means
“Cheap” contractors are focused on one thing—being the lowest bidder. That usually comes with some tradeoffs:
- Cut-rate materials that warp, rot, or rust faster
- Corners cut during installation that you won’t notice until it’s too late
- Lack of support when something goes wrong after the job is paid for
- No systems in place to manage jobs professionally—just one guy and a truck
What seems like a deal upfront ends up costing you more when things need to be redone, repaired, or ripped out entirely.
What “Least Expensive” Means at Legacy Fence
Being least expensive means you get the best long-term value for your money. Here’s what that looks like:
- Proper post depth and quality materials—built for Oklahoma’s soil, wind, and weather
- Crews who care about craftsmanship, not just getting to the next job
- A business that will answer the phone—even after the check clears
- Efficient systems that keep your project moving on schedule
- Warranties that mean something, because we stand behind our work
We may not come in with the lowest bid—but we keep your fence from becoming a recurring expense.
What’s the True Cost of a Fence?
A cheap fence might cost you less today, but if it leans, breaks, or falls apart in a few short years, you’re right back where you started—with another bill to pay.
A well-built fence, on the other hand, gives you peace of mind, lasting protection, and a return on investment you can see and feel every time you pull into your driveway.
Final Word
So no—we’re not the cheapest fence contractor in town.
But we’re the least expensive in the long run.
And in this business, that’s what really counts.
