Commercial fencing, built to a residential standard.
Commercial work calls for solid planning, dependable execution, and a clear understanding of the job. That same standard carries through from the first site visit to the finished installation.
We are a residential builder that takes commercial work
That is a deliberate way to put it, and it is worth knowing before you send us a scope. Our crews, standards, and warranty were built on work for homeowners who notice the details. That same level of care carries directly onto a commercial site.
We are built for commercial projects where the details matter and the scope deserves careful attention. You get our crews, our standards, and direct communication throughout the job. If the scope or schedule is not a fit, we will tell you in the first conversation rather than the fourth.
Where we do fit: perimeter and property-line runs, work yards and equipment storage, multi-family and HOA common areas, and public sites. Pioneer Park in Tumwater is ours, it is open to the public, and you are welcome to go and inspect it before you talk to us.
Four kinds of commercial sites
Chain link, ornamental metal, wood, and vinyl, specified according to the site, the project requirements, and how the finished fence needs to perform.
Work yards and storage
Security and controlled access rather than privacy. Gate size and support posts matter most on these jobs because they handle more weight and movement than the rest of the fence.
Multi-family and HOA
Common-area and perimeter fencing where a board or a property manager has to sign off. We will build to the association’s standard and help you put the submittal together.
Public and municipal
Pioneer Park in Tumwater is one of ours. Public sites take public wear, which makes them the fairest possible thing to judge a fence company on.
Six things that do not change on a commercial site
The same workmanship standards apply to every project. That is why the same warranty stands behind the work.
Terminal posts sized for the run
End, corner, and gate posts carry the tension of the whole line. On a long commercial perimeter that is not a detail, it is the whole structure.
Every post set in concrete
Footing depth matched to the fence height and the soil conditions across the site rather than to a default.
Steel gate frames on wood
Our standard on wood fencing, commercial or residential. Gates see more daily use and movement than any other part of the fence.
Gates built for the vehicle
Tell us what has to pass through — trucks, trailers, equipment — and the opening and hardware get specified for that, not for a preset width.
Locates and permits are ours
Utility locates are cleared, and required permits are handled without adding another task to your project schedule.
One point of contact
You talk to the company doing the work. There is no third party between the person who quoted it and the crew on site.
What the proposal covers
Stated plainly, so there is nothing to discover at invoicing.
Scope, proposal, schedule, walk
Six steps, with a clear point of contact from start to finish.
Send the scope
Drawings, a site plan, or just an address and a description of what needs enclosing. We will tell you quickly whether we are the right company for it.
Site walk
We walk it and look at access, ground conditions, gate requirements, and what is already standing. This is where the questions that change the number get asked.
Written proposal
Itemized scope and price, with inclusions and exclusions stated rather than implied.
Schedule and contact
On approval you get a window and a named point of contact who answers the phone.
Locates and permits
Ours to call, clear, and pull before anything is dug.
Build and final walk
Our own crews, and a walk with your site contact before we demobilize.
What clients say about the work
“If you haven’t seen the quality craftsmanship of Lionheart Fence Builders, take a look at some of their completed projects. Their work truly speaks for itself!”
— Kristine Zitny, Google review“It’s hard to find companies you feel like you can genuinely trust, and Lionheart is one of them. They care about the quality of their work and the people they’re doing it for.”
— Lynz Halversen, Google review“They showed up every day of the project by 8am. They removed old fence and built a sturdy replacement to last for years.”
— Kate Kesling, Google reviewPioneer Park, Tumwater.
Chain-link fencing at a public park in our own city. Public sites are the hardest test a fence gets — constant traffic, no controlled access, nobody being careful with it — and they are the only kind of reference you can go and inspect without an appointment.
If you are weighing us against another bid, take a look at the finished work. Seeing the quality in person can tell you a lot about what you are comparing.
On price
Commercial work is quoted from a site walk and a written scope, the same as everything else we build. We do not give per-foot numbers over the phone, because on a commercial site the gates, the terminal posts, the access, and the demolition often routinely matter more than the linear footage does.
Our minimum project is $5,000. Most commercial scopes clear that comfortably, but it is worth stating so nobody wastes a site visit.
$5,000 project minimumWe don't publish per-foot pricing, because a number without a site visit is a guess. Your written price comes after we've walked the property.
Commercial fencing questions
Do you install automatic gate openers?
We build and install the gate itself, including the frame and hardware. Automatic operators and access controls may be handled separately by a contractor who specializes in those systems.
Do you handle the permit and the utility locate?
Yes. Utility locates are cleared before digging, and required permits are handled. Requirements vary by jurisdiction, so what applies to your specific property is confirmed during the estimate.
Who will be on my property?
A Lionheart crew, not subcontractors. On project morning, your salesperson or project manager meets the crew at your property and walks through the job with you before work begins.
What exactly does the lifetime workmanship warranty cover?
It covers installation quality while the original customer owns the property. Workmanship or installation issues are repaired at no labor cost. It is the only lifetime workmanship warranty among Thurston County fence companies.
What areas do you serve?
Thurston, Pierce, Mason, and Lewis counties roughly an hour and a half in any direction from our Tumwater shop. Tumwater and Olympia are where most of our projects are today.
How long will the build take?
It depends on the project size and ground conditions. We will give you a realistic timeframe at the estimate, based on what the work actually requires.
