How much are typical fence installation costs?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-fence-installation-cost.htm">The average cost to install a fence</a> 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.

What questions should I ask a fence installer?

• <div><p>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.

Do I need a permit to build a fence?

• <div><p>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.</p><p>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. </p></div> • <div><p>Any solid panels over 8 feet in height will require a permit, while a 2-foot lattice top on a 6-foot fence does not require a permit. </p></div> • <div><p>Permit requirements can vary, so it's best to check with your county and municipality.

Yes, you should confirm that the fencing installer you hire is insured before proceeding with the job. In most cases they do not need a specific fencing license, but rather a general contractor’s license. Hiring a licensed contractor protects you as a homeowner from fraud, poor work, and potential legal woes.

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

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
