"Tim did an excellent job. His crew removed my old fence and installed a new fence in two days. He was a one stop company. He did everything from furnishing a bid, buying the materials obtaining the permits, and having the utilities lines checked. The only thing I did was agree to do the job and write the check at the end. I highly recommend him for your fence work."

"Original project was estimated with removing existing fence posts (18 total), leveling to proper fence height, pouring cement to set repositioned post, and replacing broken gate hinges. Estimate provided by Eli. When A&E arrived and started removing first couple of posts, Eli?s father, most experienced member of crew, noticed the existing post cement had not heaved. So he felt removing existing posts was not necessary. Instead he recommended pounding the posts back down into existing concrete until level and drilling holes in posts to allow new concrete to create more of an anchor to keep them from sliding out of concrete base. This eliminated a lot of manual work and lessened damage to yard. I thought this was a good idea and thought the cost of the job would reflect a lesser amount since this cut the total job time more than half. Instead they did not adjust the bill accordingly. I would expect a company to treat their customers fairly and not overcharge when the planned work changes without the customer complaining or requesting such. Instead I ended paying the original estimate ($1,400), which equates to approx. $150 / hour (crew of 3), plus materials. Total job completed in 2.5 - 3 hours, which was great. I think this was extremely high for 1 highly skill worker and 2 apprentices. I gave A&E 4 stars because they did do a good job. Fence looks great. I just feel like it should have been a little less $ for the amount of work they ended up having to do. I did examine the original estimate and it only stated leveling the fence, no specifics on how this was to be done. But verbally it was understood they would have to dig out new fence posts, re-level and re-cement. Lessons learned on my part?get a detailed contract and if the actual work deviates, then adjust final bill."

"Hoss was wonderful, friendly, efficient, everything we could have asked for. We needed our fence done fast. And in two half days(dude to the rain) they had our old fence and trees down and the new fence up. He addressed our concerns happily. And even went the extra mile to block off another area for us for no extra charge"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

In the vast majority of cases, chain-link fences are less expensive than wood fences. Installing a wood fence costs anywhere from 20% to 30% more than a chain-link fence, or an average of $3,100, whereas a similarly sized chain-link fence will average around $2,400. Even with add-ons and additional protective finishes, a chain-link fence is very likely to cost you less than a wood fence. The only exception would be a split rail wood fence, which can cost about half the price of a chain-link fence or less.

The cost to build a fence is about $3,100 on average, but you could pay anywhere from $400 to $13,700 or more. Your cost will depend on the length, height, and materials for the fence. If you hire a professional installer, labor costs typically represent about half of the total cost of the project. This means you potentially can save quite a bit of money doing the work yourself.

The average cost to install a fence is between $1,800 and $4,500. However, the price can vary significantly based on several factors. For a small DIY project, costs could be as low as $450, while fencing a large property like a 5-acre yard can exceed $43,000. Key factors that influence the total cost include the fence's size and height, the material used, the complexity of the design, site preparation needs, and any additional features like gates. The cost of raw materials, manufacturing, and custom fabrication can also impact the final price.

The most durable metal for a fence is wrought iron. With proper care, a wrought iron fence can last for centuries. This means regular resealing to stave off rust and corrosion, especially in coastal climates with salty sea air. In these environments, chain link and corrugated fencing tend to stand up better to the elements with fewer maintenance needs.

Yes, installing a picket fence is a manageable DIY project for homeowners with basic tools and some patience. The process involves marking the fence line, digging post holes, setting the posts, and attaching horizontal rails and pickets. However, precision is key to ensure the fence is straight and sturdy, which can be challenging for beginners. If the fence line is long, the ground is uneven, or you’re working with more complex materials like metal or composite, hiring a pro may be a better option.
