I got someone to come over last night and give us an estimate for the fencing. He runs a family business (instead of the huge business we had visited this weekend), so I figured his prices would be cheaper. They definitely were; his price including installation is less than the price of the sections from the 1st business we contacted (still haven't heard from them to give us an estimate). He also gave us a good idea on how to change the location of the fence to make it more aesthetically pleasing. He warranties the workmanship for 2 years and he uses a different company to supply the aluminum fence sections. Their warranty is the same as the other fencing company. If this is the company we use, we will get the S4 Saybrook style (top picture on the page).
I am waiting for another family business to call and set up an estimate, as well as the original business we contacted. A friend of ours showed up last night with the business card for another business run by a friend of his, so I will call them today. After I get all the estimates, it will be time to make the decision as to what we will actually fence in and who we will go with. We do want to hurry and make our decision within the next couple of weeks as somewhere around Memorial Day, people start thinking of summer projects and the lead time will be longer than the 3 weeks it is currently at.
