Compare your fence quotes

How to compare fencing quotes correctly

Fence quotes vary by material, post depth, and whether concrete footings are included. A $3,000 fence and a $6,000 fence for the same linear footage usually come down to post quality and how deep they're set.

Wood fences live or die by the posts. Cedar posts set 24 inches deep without concrete will rot and lean within 5 years. Pressure-treated posts in concrete footings 36+ inches deep will outlast the pickets.

Compare gate count, hardware quality, and whether stain or sealer is included. Old fence removal and haul-off should be itemized, not assumed.
