Every project differs, but you should ask any fence contractor for an estimate, before they do any work. In fact, ask for their general payment terms before any fencing services work is done.
If the job is large and going to take longer than a day, it's common practice for fence contractors to request a down payment. Usually, this will be around 25% so they can commence work on your fence contractor project.
