Our Fence Warranty. Our Work. Our Word.

A warranty is only as strong as the company that stands behind it. Mae Fence makes its own fences, installs them with its own crews, and handles its own warranty claims, so when a covered issue comes up you deal with us, not a distant manufacturer or a third-party claims department.

Three warranties. One company behind all three.

  • 3 years

    Cedar

    Limited material warranty against defects, including premature rot and insect damage.

  • Lifetime

    Vinyl

    Limited material warranty against abnormal fading, cracking, peeling, or blistering.

  • Lifetime

    Aluminum

    Limited material warranty against abnormal fading, peeling, or corrosion.

All three add a 3-year installation workmanship warranty, gates and gate hardware included, and approved claims cover the materials and the labor.

We Make It. We Install It. We Stand Behind It.

There’s a fundamental difference between a company that sells you a fence and a company that takes responsibility for it. Mae Fence manufactures and fabricates its own fencing, installs it, and provides its own warranty service.

When your fence company buys from a manufacturer

Many do, and when something goes wrong their customers may end up making some or all of these stops.

  1. Call the company that installed it

  2. Get pointed to the manufacturer

  3. File a claim with another company

  4. Wait for replacement parts

  5. Pay extra labor to have them installed

When Mae Fence made it

  1. Send Mae Fence your claim

    In writing, to the company that made your fence and installed it. Mae Fence inspects the fence and decides the remedy.

  2. We fix it

    Approved claims are repaired or replaced, with the materials and the labor at no charge to you.

One company. One point of contact. Complete accountability.

Warranty Terms by Fence.

Every wood, vinyl, and aluminum fence Mae Fence makes and installs carries two warranties, one on the material and one on the installation. These are the terms for each, and the full warranty, with its exclusions and claim procedure, is a PDF under each one.

Limited Three-Year Wood Fence Warranty

Built Right. Built to Last. Backed by Mae Fence.

3-Year Material Warranty
Mae Fence Company warrants its qualifying Mae Fence-branded wood fencing products against defects in material and workmanship, including premature rot and insect consumption, under normal residential use for three (3) years.
3-Year Installation Workmanship Warranty
Wood fencing installed by Mae Fence Company is warranted against defects resulting from improper installation workmanship, including gates, gate hardware, and all components, for three (3) years.

A three-year warranty does not mean a wood fence is expected to last only three years. A properly installed and maintained wood fence can last for decades. Wood is a natural material that responds to its environment, so surface checking, minor cracking and splitting, expansion and shrinkage, minor twisting, cupping, or warping, knots, sap stains, color variation, and graying with ordinary weathering are normal characteristics, not defects.

Limited Lifetime Vinyl Fence Warranty

Manufactured to Last. Installed with Pride. Backed for Life.

Lifetime Material Warranty
Mae Fence Company warrants its qualifying Mae Fence-branded vinyl fencing products to the original purchaser against defects in material and manufacturing, including abnormal fading, cracking, peeling, or blistering, for the lifetime of the product under normal residential use.
3-Year Installation Workmanship Warranty
Vinyl fencing installed by Mae Fence Company is warranted against defects resulting from improper installation workmanship, including gates, gate hardware, and all components, for three (3) years.

Mae Fence fabricates its own vinyl fencing rather than buying another manufacturer’s, which gives it control over the material, the construction, and the service long after installation. Normal, gradual weathering and minor color changes over time are expected and are not considered defects.

Limited Lifetime Aluminum Fence Warranty

Manufactured for Strength. Installed with Precision. Backed for Life.

Lifetime Material Warranty
Mae Fence Company warrants its qualifying Mae Fence-branded aluminum fencing products to the original purchaser against defects in material and manufacturing for the lifetime of the product under normal residential use, including abnormal fading beyond normal, gradual weathering, and peeling, flaking, blistering, or corrosion.
3-Year Installation Workmanship Warranty
Aluminum fencing installed by Mae Fence Company is warranted against defects resulting from improper installation workmanship, including gates, gate hardware, and all components, for three (3) years.

Mae Fence manufactures its own aluminum fencing, which gives it control over the quality, construction, and finishing of the product from manufacturing through installation. Normal, gradual weathering and minor color changes over time are expected and are not considered defects.

How to File a Warranty Claim.

Warranty questions

The Mae Fence Promise.

Anyone can print the words Lifetime Warranty on a piece of paper.

A warranty isn’t worth much if the company behind it isn’t there when you need it. We’ve been part of this industry since 1927, and nearly a century has taught us that a reputation isn’t built by making promises. It’s built by keeping them. Our family name, our history, and everything we’ve worked to build stand behind the fences we manufacture and install.
