Our experts guide you through these factors, helping you select the best design, layout, and materials for a fence that performs well and enhances your property.
The cost of a residential fence depends on factors like the material, fence height, layout, and total footage. Because every property is different, we offer free quotes and walk you through your options during a consultation. Our team helps you choose a fence that fits your needs and budget without surprises.
Installation timelines vary depending on the fence type, length, custom features, and material availability. Once your estimate is approved, most fences can be installed within one to three weeks. Custom materials or special orders may extend the timeline, and we will guide you on any potential delays. Our team communicates clearly about what to expect. We aim to complete projects efficiently without sacrificing quality.
Our fence experts can visit your property to take accurate measurements. If you prefer a rough estimate on your own, measure each side of the area to be enclosed and add the lengths together. Subtract the width of any structures or gates that are part of the enclosure. Estimates are approximate. Our team can help calculate a precise estimate and explain any pricing nuances. This ensures your project is accurate and cost-effective from the start.
Yes! We stand behind both our materials and workmanship. Most fencing materials come with manufacturer warranties, and we provide a labor warranty for installation. Each fence type and manufacturer differs, so our experts will help guide you to the best options for maximum protection.

Traditionally, farm fencing is wooden post and rail fencing, split rail fences, or high tensile fences. Welded wire can be added to post and rail fences for specific small animal yards. There are variations of each type based on what you need to enclose. For example, if you have horses, you can border your land with split rail, but if you have smaller animals like chickens or pigs, you'll need something closer to the ground and with less open space. Our team of fence experts is happy to discuss your specific needs and find the perfect solution for your property.
Farm fencing works very well when it comes to following the changing levels of ground across many fields. Wood fencing particularly is always one of the most adjustable types of fencing and can be modified to your specifications.
Barbed wire is often added to farm fences in the area. It can be useful in order to contain your livestock and also to protect your animals from predators that may try to come through your fence. Even if you have fields of vegetables or other crops, barbed wire can help keep animals from getting in to eat your plants.
Yes! We often install post and rail farm fencing at various communities and for individual residential properties all across the region. When you speak with our associates, ask about our variety of wood rail fences and explore the best options with our experienced staff.
Yes. The Fence Company installs aluminum fencing for many homes, with each project handled by trained professionals using modern installation methods. Our team focuses on proper post placement, clean alignment, and long-term performance so the finished fence looks right and functions as intended from day one.
Aluminum fencing is a great investment in your home. It offers impressive strength while remaining lightweight and visually appealing.
A durable protective coating allows aluminum fences to withstand harsh weather conditions with ease. While some materials cost less upfront, aluminum fencing requires almost no maintenance. Over time, this makes aluminum a cost-effective and worthwhile investment.
Aluminum fences are extremely durable despite their lightweight design. Aluminum is widely used in industries that demand strength and reliability. Professional-grade aluminum fencing withstands daily wear and tear and unexpected impacts. Falling branches, landscaping equipment, and regular activity rarely cause issues. Quality materials and proper installation make all the difference.
It's important to note that low-quality aluminum fencing does exist. Some installers cut costs by using inferior materials that bend, fade, or fail prematurely. You truly get what you pay for with aluminum fencing. Our team uses quality materials and installation methods to ensure you get a fence that lasts.
The cost of an aluminum fence depends on several factors, including fence length, height, and style options. We offer free aluminum fence quotes to help you understand pricing upfront. Our team walks you through the process and schedules a consultation to review your goals.
We encourage homeowners to consider more than just price alone. Low-cost aluminum fencing often uses thin materials with poor finishes and limited warranties. Inexperienced installers may also cut corners and fail to stand behind their work. A well-built aluminum fence should protect your property and maintain its appearance for years.
Aluminum fences require very little maintenance. Aluminum naturally resists rust and corrosion, and our professional-grade aluminum fencing includes factory treatments that help prevent fading and surface wear. Occasional rinsing with water and a mild household cleaner is usually enough. Beyond that, you can simply enjoy your fence without ongoing upkeep!
Powder coating is a factory-applied finish that protects aluminum fencing from corrosion and fading. The process uses an electrostatically charged powder that bonds to the metal during baking. This creates a smooth, durable finish that seals in color and resists wear and tear. Powder-coated aluminum fences require minimal maintenance and retain their appearance longer, which is why we only install powder-coated aluminum fencing for residential property.
Make it easy on yourself:
Our fence experts can visit your property and take accurate measurements for you. We handle the details for you, so you won't need to provide measurements. Our team specializes in aluminum fence installations, providing full-service support from planning and measurement to installation.
DIY fence estimate:
Measure each side of the area you want to enclose and add the lengths together. Subtract any structures that act as part of the barrier, such as buildings or sheds. Then subtract the width of any gates you plan to install. Walk gates are usually about four feet wide, while driveway gates are wider.
Important note:
Aluminum fencing is typically priced by sections rather than linear feet. Section count often has a greater impact on pricing than total footage. Price-per-foot estimates can be misleading. Our team will provide a professional estimate that ensures accuracy.
Aluminum fencing is a popular choice for homeowners. It's often used for yard enclosures, pool fencing, and decorative boundary lines. Its clean design doesn't block views, while its strength and low maintenance make it a durable, stylish option for any residential property.
The I Drive Power System is a driven-post installation method that anchors aluminum fence posts deep into the ground using internal aluminum posts. Aluminum sleeves slide over the steel core, creating a reinforced post that supports the fence from the inside. The aluminum insert extends several feet below grade and above, creating strong internal support that protects your fence from strong winds and impacts.
Most aluminum fence installations move quickly once materials arrive. Smaller projects often take one to two days to complete. Larger or more complex layouts may require additional time. Weather, site conditions, and custom features can impact timelines. Your installer will review the expectations with you before work begins.
Aluminum fencing requires proper training and specialized installation techniques to ensure optimal performance. Many installers lack experience, which can compromise the integrity and overall lifespan of your fence. Improper tools and methods may also damage the fence during installation, which can void manufacturer warranties.
Here are some of the common pitfalls of working with non-professionals:
Warranty issues:
Some material manufacturers deny warranty claims if an unlicensed contractor uses their products. Additionally, if the installer disappears or installs the fence incorrectly, warranties may become useless.
Shorter fence lifespan:
Professional installers receive ongoing training and follow proven best practices. Proper installation improves strength, alignment, and long-term performance. Poor workmanship often leads to early repairs or replacement.
Property liability risks:
Fence installation involves handling heavy tools and materials. Inexperienced crews may damage driveways, landscaping, or vehicles, and damage to your property can become your responsibility if the contractor lacks proper insurance.
Hiring a professional like The Fence Company protects your fence, your property, and your peace of mind.
Absolutely! The Fence Company installs chain link fencing for homeowners looking for a practical, reliable solution. Our crews are trained in modern chain link installation methods to ensure proper alignment, secure posts, and long-term performance.
Chain link fences are commonly installed around backyards, side yards, pet areas, gardens, and property boundaries where visibility, airflow, and durability are important. When properly installed, they provide a clean, functional enclosure that stands up well to daily use and changing weather conditions.
Chain link fencing is a popular and affordable option for residential properties. It is strong yet lightweight, and the galvanized coating helps resist rust, corrosion, and everyday exposure to the elements. If you're looking for a cost-effective, durable fencing solution for your home, chain link fencing is a smart choice.
Absolutely! Chain link fencing is strong enough to keep pets safely contained and protect your yard from intruders. It withstands wear and tear from active pets, kids, and weather, giving you a reliable, low-maintenance barrier that keeps your loved ones secure.
The price for a new chain link fence is highly dependent on the amount of fencing you need, as well as the style and height you select. We provide free chain link fencing quotes! Email us or give us a call, and our team of friendly, experienced staff will be happy to guide you through the process and schedule a consultation.
Chain link fences require very little maintenance. Our high-quality chain link fences are factory-treated to prevent rust and corrosion. A protective vinyl coating can also be added to further protect the materials from rust and corrosion. We recommend clearing debris from the bottom of the fence and rinsing it throughout the year to keep the wiring clean and free from debris.
PVC-coated chain link fencing, often called vinyl-coated chain link, features a colored coating applied to standard chain link fencing. This coating protects your fence from rust and corrosion, extending its lifespan. Factory-applied for consistent quality and protection, our black PVC coating creates a smooth finish, making it a popular choice for athletic fields, pool areas, and other spaces where safety is essential.
Adding a tension wire to the bottom of a chain link fence increases security by preventing the fence from being pushed out by pets. If a tension wire is insufficient, installing a bottom rail will create an even stronger barrier than a tension wire.
Yes, they do! Our chain link fences come with impressive manufacturer warranties. Depending on the specific brand and style of chain link fence you choose, many come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty, ensuring that all materials and vinyl finishes are free from manufacturing defects for the entire warranty period. We also offer our comprehensive workmanship warranty for every fence we install.
A residential chain link fence installation generally only takes a few days. One of our experts will meet with you to walk your property and provide a detailed time and cost estimate for your project.
Once you approve the estimate, we can typically install a chain link fence within 1 to 3 weeks. However, please check with our office for your specific project details. At times throughout the year, that timeframe may be shorter or longer.
Other things can delay the start of a fencing project. If you choose custom chain link fence material, style, or height options that must be specially ordered, installation will likely be delayed. Like most fencing contractors, we do not stock a large selection of custom chain link fencing options. These materials come from various manufacturers, and shipping and delivery times are beyond our control. We will help you identify, in advance, any of your choices that are likely to cause these additional delays, and we will offer alternatives if possible.
Chain link fencing is a versatile choice for residential properties. It's commonly used to safely contain pets, keep children secure in the yard, define property boundaries, and protect gardens or play areas. Its durable, low-maintenance design provides long-lasting security while keeping your outdoor space open and visible.
Many small fence companies install chain link fences without proper training, which can lead to weak installation, reduced lifespan, or damage that voids the manufacturer's warranty.
Risks of non-professional installation:
Warranty Issues: Improper installation may void material and workmanship warranties.
Shorter Lifespan: Experienced installers ensure a strong, long-lasting fence; untrained contractors may not.
Property Risk: Poor installation can damage your yard or property, and hiring uninsured contractors can put you at liability risk.
Saving money upfront with an inexperienced installer can lead to higher costs over time due to repairs, warranty issues, and property damage.
Yes! We specialize in installing vinyl fences for residential properties. Our crews are trained in the latest vinyl fence installation techniques, ensuring your fence looks beautiful, functions perfectly, and withstands any weather.
Vinyl lasts a long time, so you don't have to generate or consume as many new resources to replace it. Additionally, vinyl fencing is recyclable, eliminating the need for painting or treating it with other chemicals, making it an affordable and sustainable option.
Vinyl fences are made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a widely used synthetic plastic found in many building products. PVC is used to create beautiful fences in several designs and styles, as well as in windows, pipelines, and many other applications in the building industry.
Vinyl fencing is one of the most eco-friendly options available.
Because vinyl lasts a long time, it reduces the need to consume new resources for replacement. Additionally, vinyl is recyclable, and recycled vinyl is often used in the next generation of fences, making it an excellent choice for environmentally conscious property owners.
Another key benefit is that vinyl fencing does not require abrasive cleaners, paint, or sealers, products that may contain harsh or toxic chemicals, helping protect both your surroundings and the health of your family and pets.
Routine cleaning usually involves rinsing the fence with a garden hose. For dirt or buildup, mild soap and water with a soft brush are typically enough to restore its appearance. To learn more about general maintenance tips for your new vinyl fence, contact our team!
Quality vinyl fencing is manufactured with UV inhibitors that help reduce fading from sun exposure. While all outdoor materials weather naturally, vinyl is designed to maintain its color and finish for many years.
PVC, the material used to make vinyl fences, is nonporous; therefore, it does not readily accept paint. When it comes to fences, many property owners and residents select vinyl specifically because it never needs painting, staining, or sealing. Unlike wood fences, vinyl fences retain their original color and shine throughout their lifespan.
While vinyl fences can't be painted, there are different colors and styles available to customize your fence to match your home and personal style.
If you wish to use a pressure washer on your vinyl fence, we recommend using a low-pressure setting. High-pressure cleaning is not recommended as it may damage the surface. Hand cleaning with mild detergent is usually the safest and most effective approach.
It generally takes a few days at most for one of our fence experts to walk your property and provide a detailed estimate for your vinyl fence project.
You can certainly call us to get even faster answers from our fence experts!
Once you approve the estimate, we can often install vinyl fences within 1 to 3 weeks. Please contact our office to discuss your specific project. At different times of the year, that timeframe may be shorter or longer.

Improper installation can damage the fence, void warranties, and reduce performance. Professionals also help protect your property and handle the work safely, reducing the risk of accidents or damage during installation.
At first glance, hiring a novice to install your vinyl fence may save you a few dollars, but in the long run, it is almost certainly a price you cannot afford to pay!
Consistent quality starts with proven systems, trained crews, and strict installation standards. Every wood fence project follows the same carefully defined process, from material selection and site preparation to post setting and final inspection.
Our teams use high-quality materials, follow industry best practices, and install each fence in accordance with industry guidelines for long-term performance. Every project is reviewed for proper alignment, structural integrity, and finish, ensuring the fence looks great and performs as expected.
By combining experienced installers, standardized methods, and attention to detail at every stage, we deliver wood fences that are built to last, regardless of the property type or location.
Pricing for all fencing materials can fluctuate, but generally, the up-front cost of wood fencing is lower than that of other types. Over time, wood fencing requires regular maintenance, including sealing and staining, so remember to factor these costs into your fence price.
Proper care and maintenance of your wood fence will extend its life for many additional years. Ultimately, the decision is yours, but we recommend using a high-quality stain or sealer every 2 to 3 years to protect your investment.
In some areas, harsh weather conditions can severely damage poorly maintained wood fences. Speak with one of our fence experts to learn more about the specific steps you can take for your particular situation.
Wood fencing is a versatile option that works well for any residential property. It offers natural privacy, classic curb appeal, and flexible design options that can be tailored to different property layouts and uses.
When properly installed and maintained, wood fences perform well in a wide range of climates and can be built for privacy, security, or decorative purposes. For property owners who want a fencing solution with a warm, traditional look, wood fencing remains a reliable choice.
Prices on wood fences are highly dependent on the amount of fencing you need as well as the exact style, height, and options you select. We provide free wood fencing quotes! E-mail us or give us a call, and our team of friendly, experienced staff will be glad to walk you through the process and plan a consultation.
Important!
We encourage you to speak with one of our fence experts before focusing solely on price! There are cheaper, very poor-quality wood fence brands that are not nearly as durable, will fade, often warp, and have limited, if any, warranty. We don't use them.
There are also very inexperienced and unprofessional fence installers who continually cut corners and don't stand behind their work, regardless of what their so-called warranty says.
Wood fences must stand up to the physical demands of weather as well as potential impacts from falling branches, landscapers, neighbors, animals, and more.
Shopping for the cheapest fence is generally not the best way to choose the fence you want to protect and beautify your home and the people you care about.
Wood fences typically have no warranty on materials, but they usually have a workmanship warranty.
However, there are specific options you can choose that may come with warranties, even on the materials! Speak with one of our fence experts to learn the details of the wood fence options you are considering.
A residential fence expert can typically assess your property and provide a detailed estimate within a few days. You can also call for quicker answers about your project.
Once approved, wood fence installation usually takes 1 to 3 weeks, though timing may vary depending on project size, material availability, and custom options.
Using the King Plus installation method, our team ensures faster, stronger, and more precise installation.

Leave it to the Experts!
Our fence professionals can visit your property, take all necessary measurements, and provide a detailed estimate. We're a full-service company, so you don't need to stress about calculating your fence yourself; however, if you'd like to get a rough idea of how much fence you'll need:
A rough DIY estimate rarely represents the actual cost. For accuracy and guidance, it's best to consult one of our fencing experts.
Wood fencing is versatile and can be used in many ways. Here are some of the most popular options we install:
Wood fences are highly customizable, allowing you to choose styles, colors, and finishes that suit your property's needs and aesthetic.
Fence placement is ultimately your responsibility as the customer. Moving a fence after installation can be costly, so getting a survey to be safe is never a bad idea. In many cases, the property lines are clear and well-marked, and installing your fence can be done without an official survey. However, some municipalities do require it, so be sure to check!
Hiring a professional ensures your wood fence is installed correctly, safely, and built to last. Many small or general contractors lack specific training in wood fence installation, which can result in weaker construction, reduced lifespan, and even damage to your fence during installation. Improper installation may also void the manufacturer's warranty.
Key risks of using non-professionals:
Warranty Issues
If the installer is unqualified or goes out of business, any workmanship warranty may be invalid. Manufacturers may also refuse to honor a warranty if the fence was damaged or improperly installed.
Reduced Lifespan
Professional installers undergo training and follow best practices for materials and techniques, ensuring your fence remains strong and durable. Contractors without specialized knowledge may not build your fence to last.
Property and Safety Risks
Incorrect installation can lead to damage to your yard, driveway, or other structures. Using unlicensed or uninsured contractors increases the risk of accidents, and you may be liable if injuries occur on your property.
While hiring a novice may seem cheaper initially, the long-term costs of repairs, reduced durability, and potential liability often outweigh any upfront savings.
We provide financing options through a third-party vendor who compares multiple lenders to secure the best deals and rates for your fence installation project. Additionally, HELOC loans can also be explored for fencing and other home improvements.
