1. Merchant Contractors
Based in Bowie, MD, Merchant Contractors works as a fence installer. The business has been operating for 30 years with a team of 15. Fence work covers new installations, repairs, and replacements for wood, vinyl, aluminum, chain-link, and composite. A new fence starts with confirming property lines, marking utilities, and setting posts in concrete or compacted gravel. Panels or pickets are then attached, gates are hung, and the line is checked for straightness and level. Common requests for fence installation include aluminum ornamental fencing, gate installation, wood privacy fence installation, gate repair and realignment and fence staining and sealing. Merchant Contractors is also listed for artificial turf installation, cabinet installation, carpet installation and countertop installation. Leaning sections, posts that wobble when pushed, or boards cracking and pulling loose are signs a fence needs repair or replacement. Ask whether a permit or HOA approval is needed locally, and mention buried utilities, sprinkler lines, or pets that will be in the yard. Total linear footage, height, material, and the number of gates are the main pricing factors, along with removal of any old fence. Customers in Bowie and nearby areas such as Upper Marlboro, Lanham and Hyattsville can request a quote. Posted hours are Monday to Saturday. Accepted payment methods include Cash, Check, Credit card, PayPal, Stripe and Zelle. To get started, send Merchant Contractors a request on Fixerlane with the details of your project.
