1 Year Warranty Backed by Trusted Fence Builders in Mercer Island

What the Warranty Covers

Every Mercer Island installation is backed by a warranty covering both materials and labor. Chain link, vinyl, aluminum, and ornamental iron carry up to 10 years of coverage with a wood-specific warranty available on all cedar builds across island properties.

How Warranty Claims Work

Mercer Island homeowners contact Rare Bears directly when a warranty issue arises. Our in-house team assesses and resolves every claim without subcontractor involvement, third-party delays, or paperwork disputes slowing down the resolution process on your property.

Why It Matters on Mercer Island

Waterfront humidity, lakeside soil movement, and the island's moisture exposure put fences under more pressure than inland properties experience. Our warranty reflects confidence that every Mercer Island fence is built to handle those specific conditions from day one through the full coverage period.

Materials That Back the Warranty

Every material used on Mercer Island properties is sourced from trusted regional suppliers selected for Pacific Northwest climate performance. Alta Forest Products cedar, commercial-grade galvanized chain link, and non-toxic vinyl panels are all chosen specifically to perform under the warranty terms offered.

Mercer Island Fencing Insights You Only Get From Building Here

Mercer Island is surrounded by Lake Washington, creating a unique island microclimate and high-value property standards that demand more from fence installation.

• Any fence within two hundred feet of the waterline requires shoreline permit review
• Island water table sits closer to the surface, creating consistent saturation across residential lots
• East and West Channel HOA documents have some of Washington State's most detailed fence restrictions
• Single I-90 access point means material delivery requires planning and scheduling coordination
• Established Douglas fir canopy creates root interference requiring an experienced crew assessment before installation
