I plan to add a fence to my backyard, and am thinking to go to Home
Depot to get them to install the fence as well as purchasing the fence
from there.

If I get Home Depot to install the fence, are the installer or
contractor?
What values does a fence contractor add to the work?

Normally how do people go about adding a fence to their backyard? I
had already contacted the town to get a permit, but how do I find (or
decide on) a contractor and where to buy the fence.

Thanks

Unless you have issues like needing a retaining wall as well as a fence,
anyone who sells and installs fencing can do the job - no special
"contractor " skills required. If you are the slightest bit handy, have
basic carpentry skills and have the proper equipment, it's a job you can do
yourself with a spouse or friend

If you like the fencing styles offered by HD and the price is right, no
reason not to use their services. If you want something a bit more creative,
you might want to look in your yellow pages for fencing companies that do
custom work.

Be sure you know where your property line is located before installation -
if any question, get a survey or the placement could come back to haunt you
down the road.
