Excel is a family owned and operated company based in Harford County. We have been in business for 25 years. As a full service fencing and decking company, we provide the most competitive prices with the highest quality products in the area. We pride ourselves greatly on customer satisfaction. This isn’t just an idle boast; we never consider the job complete until you’re 100% satisfied.
"I wish all businesses were as easy, pleasant, and honest to deal with as Excel. I wanted to expand an existing vinyl fence and add two gates. The Project Coordinator at Excel listened to what I wanted and made some suggestion, but did not try a hard sell for goods or services. He explained in detail what the work crew would do and how the fence would be installed. Out of all the companies I contacted Excel was the only one to provide a written estimate. The price was reasonable and comparable to what other companies were quoting. The workers who responded to install the fence and gates were great. It was obvious they worked together in the past and were comfortable with each other. The supervisor went over everything with me before they started the job. He explained in detail what they would be doing. After the job was done the supervisor walked around the entire project with me, while explaining again what they did and answered questions. They definitely made sure I was happy with everything before they left. Another thing worth mentioning is their office and administrative staff. I made a point to stop by their office one day before the project. I believe the way an office appears and is run tells a lot about a business. Excel has a nice, clean office with very friendly and professional staff. A live person answers their phone, instead of getting an automated message, prompting you to press a number. It was a great experience from beginning to end. I will definitely use Excel for future projects."

Yes, invisible fences can function effectively on properties with slopes when properly installed. The key consideration is maintaining consistent signal strength throughout elevation changes. Professional installers can adjust installation depth and transmitter settings to accommodate terrain variations. Special installation techniques may be required to ensure reliable boundary enforcement and pet safety for particularly steep slopes or challenging soil conditions.
Most invisible fence wire repairs cost between $100 and $300, depending on the specific issue. Common repair needs include fixing broken boundary wires, replacing malfunctioning transmitters, or addressing collar receiver problems. Battery replacements represent the most frequent maintenance expense, typically costing between $10 and $50, depending on your system model. Professional diagnosis and repair services help ensure your system returns to full functionality quickly.
Many pet owners find that invisible fencing provides good value compared to conventional fencing options. These systems cost less than physical barriers while preserving property aesthetics and views. Invisible fences also allow flexibility for irregularly shaped properties and can work in areas where physical fencing might be restricted. The effectiveness depends partly on your pet's temperament and consistent training, so consider your specific animal's behavior when evaluating this containment option.
With proper maintenance, most invisible fence systems provide reliable service for several years before requiring significant upgrades. Regular battery replacements and occasional system checks help extend equipment lifespan. Individual components like transmitters or collar receivers can be replaced as needed without reinstalling the entire system. Environmental factors such as soil conditions and climate can affect underground wire longevity, while proper surge protection helps prevent premature system failure.
Regular maintenance expenses include periodic replacement of collar batteries, which cost between $10 and $50, depending on your specific system. Boundary wire repairs might be necessary if landscaping activities or ground shifting cause damage, with repair costs ranging from $100 to $300. System checks are recommended seasonally, especially after extreme weather events. Some owners also invest in backup power solutions or surge protection to prevent system interruptions during power outages.
