Fence construction and fencing contractors juggle a lot of moving parts: measurements, property lines, utilities, permits, material deliveries, tear-outs and new installs. You’re dealing with wood, vinyl, chain-link, ornamental steel, aluminum and composite systems – each with different post spacing, heights and gate hardware. When customer details and fence layouts live across notepads, text messages and separate apps, it’s easy to lose track of what was quoted, what was approved and when each job is scheduled. A simple, free, mobile-first CRM gives you one place to track every customer, estimate and install date so your fencing projects stay organised from first measure to final walk-through.
Use the Companies module to store builders, general contractors, property managers, HOAs and commercial clients, as well as homeowners for direct residential work. Link individual homeowners, site contacts, GC project managers and maintenance staff as Contacts. Every enquiry, site measure, estimate review and scheduling call can be logged as an activity, so you always know who you spoke to, what was agreed and which property it belongs to before you send a crew.
Generic office software doesn’t understand post spacing, footing depth or zoning limits. With flexible custom fields, you can shape the CRM around your fencing workflow. Track fence type by run (wood privacy, board-on-board, picket, split rail, vinyl, chain-link, ornamental steel, aluminum, security), height, total linear footage, post size, post spacing, footing depth, concrete requirements and any stepped or racked sections. Capture gate locations, widths, swing direction, latch and lock hardware, self-closing requirements and access-control notes. You can also store survey info, property line notes, utility mark-out status, HOA/zoning approvals and permit numbers so all the technical details are easy to reference later.
When you’re managing multiple estimates and installs, you need to find the right jobs fast. Use advanced search and powerful filtering tools to pull up prospects in a specific neighborhood or ZIP code, jobs waiting on HOA or permit approval, projects scheduled this week, or high-value commercial fences with security requirements. The built-in dashboard gives you a clean snapshot of how many companies and contacts you’re working with and what’s been happening recently, without bloated sales charts or pipeline complexity you don’t need.
Estimators and installers spend their days in yards and on job sites, not at desks. This CRM is built with mobile-first technology and designed to be fast, so it works brilliantly on phones and tablets. At the property, they can pull up the customer record, see previous notes and layout details, review what material and height were quoted, and add measurements, photos and obstacles (trees, retaining walls, grade changes) right after the walk. On install day, crews can see gate locations, material type, access notes and any special instructions – all from their phone.
Whether you’re a one-crew operation or a growing fencing company with multiple crews and office staff, the CRM is completely free for up to 30 users. Office staff can log new enquiries and keep contact records clean, estimators can store measurements and pricing notes, and crew leaders can update job status and site notes from the field. You get the benefits of a shared, organised system without monthly subscription costs eating into profit on each fence.
As your fencing business scales, you can connect the CRM to the tools you already use. With full API access, you can hook up website quote forms or online lead sources so new prospects automatically create Companies and Contacts, or integrate with other systems where you manage estimating, scheduling or accounting. New opportunities flow straight into your CRM, ready to be measured, priced and turned into booked installations.
If you ever need help using the CRM, there’s a built-in ticketing feature that lets you contact the CRM support team directly. You can ask questions, report issues or suggest improvements and track responses in one place. The ticketing is for you as a CRM user – it’s not designed to handle your own customer service calls – so the system stays focused on keeping your data organised and your fence projects running smoothly.
This free CRM platform is available to companies in the US only, making it a strong fit for American fence construction and fencing contractors who want a modern, mobile-first CRM without monthly subscription costs. You get one central place to manage customers, estimates, layouts and installation schedules, backed by a fast, reliable system that grows with your crews and your reputation.
