FAQs about Fencing

  • How much does a fence cost?

    Fence costs vary by material and height. Wood privacy fence (6 ft cedar): $20–$35 per linear foot. Vinyl privacy fence: $25–$40/linear ft. Chain link (4 ft): $10–$20/linear ft. Aluminum ornamental: $25–$45/linear ft. Wrought iron: $30–$60/linear ft. A typical residential fence (150–200 linear feet) costs $2,000–$8,000. Gates, corner posts, and removal of old fencing add to the cost. Get at least two to three estimates and confirm each includes posts, concrete, hardware, gates, and permits.

  • Do I need a permit for a fence?

    Most municipalities require a permit for new fence installation. Regulations typically govern maximum height (6 ft in backyards, 3–4 ft in front yards), setback from property lines (often 6 inches to 1 foot inside your property), material restrictions, and gate requirements near pools. HOAs may have additional restrictions on fence style, color, and material. Before installing a fence, confirm your property lines (locate survey pins or hire a surveyor), check local ordinances and HOA rules, and obtain the required permit. Your fence contractor should be familiar with local regulations.
