"Tim was great. Came in and showed us difference types of fencing. Gave us a great deal on a fence. The guys came out to install a few weeks later. Our job was a tough one with all of the rocks in our soil. They had to hand dig the holes for the posts. Took them 2 days because of this. They came back bright and early on Saturday (a holiday weekend at that). It looks amazing! We were very happy with Northwest.

"The initial phone call to Alex, the owner, was fine. The fellow who came out for an estimate was late, but he apologized. His estimate was fairly simple. We agreed on the price, with half paid before and half after completion. The start date was changed 3 times and it cost me a few day's off work for nothing. Once the start day arrived, the 9am start time came and went. After 2 more phone calls to Alex, the 2 man crew arrived. (Alex made up an excuse that they bought the "wrong concrete". The guys worked diligently and got half the job done in one day and removed the old fence. From that point on, I dealt with the workers, not Alex. They came back the next day, finished the job, cleaned up and that was it. Good work, good workers, good materials, but bad management."

"Things went well. They were flexible in their scheduling to visit and make an estimate. The estimate was written on site (others did not get estimates delivered within weeks or at all!) The team was professional, arriving exactly when expected and completing the work quickly. There were two small problems: 1) the fence was placed 18 inches inside of my property line (this was the contractor's error and was corrected at no cost to me), 2) the mailbox was too small to accommodate magazines without damage, this was a standard size that had to be removed and replaced at a $300 cost to me."

"Installed fence while I was out of town. Due to this there was a little confusion on a couple things, but after contacting Jeff his crew came out and fixed my concerns within a couple days of our phone conversation. I am pleased with the final product and as long as Aspen sticks to their word on the guarantee of their work I will continue to be a happy customer. I would recommend Aspen to anyone, but I would just say to make sure both parties are clear on what needs to be accomplished to avoid any issues.

Yes, most states require a fencing installer to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed fence installer could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification, which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
Fence installers typically charge by the hour when working on a project. Typically, you can expect to pay around $50 per hour for fence installation. Your project might take anywhere from 24 to 72 hours, depending on the length of your fence, overall project complexity, and fence type.
The average cost to install a fence is between $1,760 and $4,500. These costs are what an average homeowner spends, but you might spend more or less depending on several factors. For a smaller DIY project, you might get away with spending as little as $430, or for a much larger project (like fencing for a 5-acre yard), you can spend in excess of $43,000.
Besides the size of your yard, other factors like your fence material, fence height, site prep, and additional fence features like gates all impact the overall cost. Additionally, the high cost of raw materials and manufacturing can all make the overall price tag higher.
Before you hire a fence installer to build you the fence of your dreams for your yard, it’s important to set expectations up front by asking questions. Some questions to consider include:
Do you offer a warranty?
Do you offer financing or a payment plan?
Do you have references?
Do you have photos of previous work?
What type of fencing materials do you work with?
Only some fences require a permit to build. Factors like where you live, how tall your fence will be, and where in your yard you plan to build all impact the need to have a permit. Below are a few examples of when a permit is needed; it’s always best to check with your fence installer to confirm if a permit is required.
Generally, if you live somewhere rural, like on a farm, there’s a good chance you will not need a fence permit. However, you will most likely need a permit if you live in a highly-populated area. In addition, many privacy fences in your backyard won’t need a permit if it is 6 feet or shorter. However, you might need a permit for anything over 3.5 feet in your front yard.
