How does the saying go? Good fences make good neighbors!? Well that only goes so far when it comes to making friends with your neighbors but we all have our own preferences.
Our natural "fences" in our yard, consist of trees, bamboo, and shrubs. Personally I prefer them to vinyl fencing but to each his own. We've had an unprecedented number of fencing requests lately from new vinyl and wood installs to repairs of the same due to hurricane damages mostly. When it comes to making decisions about changes to your property, unless you have restrictions from your local construction jurisdiction or HOA, there's a lot to think about when it comes to decisions on which materials to choose and what the costs are. So here's a little tip when it comes down to costs. How to Estimate the Cost of Installing a Fence You can estimate the cost of installing a fence by determining how much fencing is required to surround your yard or property. Fences are measured and priced by the linear foot, so simply measuring your property lines can give you an idea of the price range to expect. It can also help contractors provide you a more accurate bid. Information on property lines can be found in your deed, or in land surveys provided to you when you purchased the property. Identify the property lines, then measure and record the linear feet. You want to make sure to stay within your property lines to avoid legal troubles (or unfriendly glances from your neighbors). Cost of installation per linear foot varies by height of the fence and materials used According to our fence installation cost estimator, the average price to install a fence around the average 1500 square foot home is roughly $2,388. No matter your preferred type, most homeowners choose a six-foot privacy fence. The average minimum cost to install a six-foot privacy fence is $3 per linear foot, with the maximum coming in at $13 per linear foot. The average cost of installing a fence is between $13 and $50 per linear foot. Length of the fence, materials used, and add-ons such as gates affect the total price of the project.

Marlon CoxFrom the time I was a child, I was fascinated with the work my uncles did as painters and carpenters. I took every opportunity to crawl with them under houses or up a ladder to watch or help when I could. It's that same passion and desire that drives me to work for my customers and to see their smiles of satisfaction when the job is done! Archives
