Fence Cost - Buyer Experiences and Price Information

Included was old fence removal, removal of large tree in fence line, cemented 4x4 post, 3rd rail, gate and cedar pickets.

I have all materials on site including concrete. What should i be paing for labor on this job. Yard is pretty much all level. First estimate was $2100. Is that high ?

Estimate for 4x4 post replacement $425. Estimate to stub post $325.

$9.94 linear ft w/ 2 gates. parts and labor

Metal support poles and two gates with running boards on 120 feet in the front.

These prices quoted per linear ft. Is this for labor only?

Seems a bit pricey, but then again, this is Philadelphia. No gates, but it's a hilly wooded lot.

Purchased the fence materials and did the install myself. This included a gate too. It was time consuming but I saved a ton of cash and the fence is perfectly straight and square. Plus the fence material isn't that cheap garbage Lowe's and HD sell, this was from fencecenter.com.

I am a local farmer who installs fence for myself and others on the side. I charge $10 LF for 4 rail, $8.75 LF for 3 rail fence.

Im doing a 70linear ft 8ft tall and 100 linear ft is going to be 6ft tall and the company is charging me 4250.49 is this right or not.

I am wondering how "your calculations" are a fair way to judge your neighbor. $2000 for 175 feet of fence is only $11.50 per foot. Besides, who are you to say that no contractor is worth $50/hr? Does he come to your office and tell you that you do nothing but sit on your butt all day so you are not worth the amount that you get paid? No he does not so keep your rude presumptuous comments to yourself.

$100.00/hour is absolutely highway robbery!!! NO CONTRACTOR IS WORTH EVEN $50.00/hour!!!

I did my own design up in acad, estimated the material quantities, including conc & associated hardware and came up with $1250.00. My contractor neighbor wants about $50-$100 ($2000 for the job) per hour, based on my calculations, for his labour! Is he outta his tree??? My labour is FREE! Do-it-yourself people! Don't let a contractor take you to the bank for something any joe blow could do! Geeeeez, it's just a freakin fence, not the Eifel Tower!

I received a quote from Fortified Fence in cumming, ga today and it was the best out of 3 quotes. $11 per linear ft

Had to install an AlumiGuard 54" high white decoritive fence around our in-ground pool.. The cost of materials runs about 2500... but the labor is what really gets my panties in a bunch..another 2500 for 3 days worth of work.. Well ...I'll be paying this fence off for a few years thanks to my credit card!

I got an estimate from lowes for installation and for the fence. This was crazy. We are getting more estimates. I will update you

I am suffering a bit of sticker shock over the first estimate we got for fencing in the yard for the dogs. 6 x 8 PT stockade with 2 5"gates, 4x4PT posts, cement and hardware came in at$1350.00...installation came in at $5417.00. This seems a bit HIGH, especially in times like these...any thots??

I needed 23 feet of chain link to finish an entrance gate to my property. I called for 2 quotes both came in at about 800 dollars. This motivated me to do it myself. I dug the holes and cemented the poles.A neighbor showed me how to install the fabric. Its done and looks good. I saved over 500 dollars. From now on I will do my own home repairs if possible. No more making contractors rich.

This is my rate in Louisiana best price around

I just purchased an ornamental galvanized steel fence from Xtreme Fence Mfg. in Cumming, GA. They were able to beat all the other contractors bids with a far supirior product bar none. They also can deliver what they say. The whole process was turn key. We did alot of research and nothing else compared. Brian was our sales person and you could not have asked for a better experience.

pricing in southern california is around 19.00 to 25.00 per lin foot for a standard dog eared cedar fence. this price does include demo and haul off of old fence. Gates are extra at 250.00 to 350.00

You guys on here are getting some great prices. I have been installing privacy fence know for 5 years and im currently pricing it between $15.00 and $18.00 per foot depending on the landscape and other variables I have to deal with. Also I should mention I dont use nails its all screws post concreated atleast 18" deep and det 24hours before framing. I have seen some of mentioned above companies work and lets just say repost in a year and tell us what your fence looks like.

Old split-rail fence removed. Installed new 6' privacy fence with dog-eared planks between 4x4 posts (in concrete). Two gates. I think this is a great price for 413 linear feet. And it's firmly constructed. Work completed in two days.

With reference with Joe Adams in Katy, Tx; (Fence Replacent). And if you can give the contractors name to me, thanks..but I have a need for a replacement fence (thanks to Ike), treated pine, much like Mr. Adams, but treated pine..and only about 100lf. I had a estimate for $2376 from a local builder..no "take away", put the old on the drive..blah,blah..! Want 1/2 $ before the works starts, 1/2 after the project is done.

Nawwwwwww..no deal folks. I've been a heavy constuction estimator for 32 years. The best price that I could estimate would be $1800 and that's with extras..profit, etc..ect..

Remove and haul off old fence. Construct new 1X6X6 cedar picket with rot board and includes 3rd rail and 4X4 posts in concrete and one gate.
Other prices were $3600 and $4000 for same.

I got a great picket fence for half of the average of picket fences mention in the article. The fence came with a lifetime installation warranty and ended up being way more then I had ever imagined.
