The cost of a new fence depends on several factors including the material, height, length, and any special requirements like gates or slopes. On average, you can expect to pay between $15-$50 per linear foot installed. We offer free estimates so you can get an exact quote for your specific project.
We offer a wide range of fence materials including wood, vinyl (PVC), aluminum, chain link, composite (Trex), SimTek, and agricultural fencing. Each material has its own benefits in terms of durability, maintenance, and aesthetics. Our experts can help you choose the best option for your needs and budget.
Most residential fence installations can be completed in 1-3 days depending on the size and complexity of the project. We'll provide you with a detailed timeline during your free estimate so you know exactly what to expect.
Permit requirements vary by county and city. In most cases, you will need a permit for fence installation. We handle the entire permitting process for you, including submitting applications and scheduling inspections. This is included in our service at no additional cost.
Maintenance depends on the material: Wood fences may need staining/sealing every 2-3 years, vinyl fences require only occasional cleaning with soap and water, aluminum fences need minimal maintenance, and composite fences are virtually maintenance-free. We provide detailed care instructions after installation.

Pressure-treated wood is chemically treated to resist rot, insects, and moisture, making it more durable and longer-lasting. Cedar is naturally resistant to these elements and has a beautiful natural appearance. Cedar typically costs more but requires less maintenance over time.
We typically set fence posts at least 2 feet deep in concrete for stability and longevity. In areas with frost or high winds, we may go deeper. Proper post installation is crucial for the structural integrity and lifespan of your fence.
Absolutely! We have extensive experience installing fences on all types of terrain. For sloped properties, we can use stepped panels, rackable panels, or follow the contour of the land depending on the material and your preferences.
Yes, we stand behind our work with comprehensive warranties. We offer a 1-year workmanship warranty on all installations, and most materials come with manufacturer warranties ranging from 10 years to lifetime, depending on the product.
We handle most of the preparation, but you can help by clearing the fence line of any obstacles, marking underground utilities, and ensuring pets are secured. We'll provide you with a complete preparation checklist before your installation date.
For maximum privacy, we recommend 6-8 foot tall wood, vinyl, or SimTek fences with minimal gaps between panels. These materials provide excellent privacy while still looking attractive. We can also add privacy slats to chain link fences if needed.
