Do you offer estimates for fence installation?

What types of fencing do you install?

Wood fencing, chain link fencing, custom fencing, gates, and retaining walls, for both residential and commercial projects.

How is a fence priced?

By the fence line. Linear footage, height, material and grade, post count and footing spec, rail count, gate count, terrain and access are the items a written estimate is built from. Price per foot alone is not comparable between quotes.

Do you repair existing fences?

Yes. Storm damage, rot, leaning posts, and broken sections are all repairable — count the failed posts rather than the broken boards: localized damage in an otherwise sound line repairs economically.

How deep do fence posts need to go?

The common rule is a third of the above-ground height, and always below the local frost line. A 6 ft fence usually means an 8 ft post with about 2 ft in the ground — deeper for gate posts and in heaving clay.

Frequently asked questions

What is a custom gate?

A gate built to a specific design rather than a stock panel — sized, styled, and hardware-matched to your property.

Can custom gates be automated?

Yes — see Driveway Gates for swing and slide operators.

How wide should a walk gate be?

36 in is standard; 48 in is more comfortable and accommodates equipment.

What hardware do you use?

Heavy-duty hinges, self-closing options for pool code, and stainless or coated latches sized for the gate weight.
