"Bert and his men did a wonderful job with my fence. They were very friendly and personable while working very hard. They cleaned after themselves and finished the job very quickly considering it rained majority of the time. I would gladly recommend Fences2U to everyone looking to do their fence. Thank you!"

"From the quote to the follow up I was so happy with the entire process. The work is not contracted out. It was done by the family who owns the company and their employees. They were quick, considerate and accommodating to the fact I had other work going on and they had to deal with dig safe because of the gas pipeline in my yard. The price was great and right on target with my numerous other quotes. They had a wonderful selection of fences and actually listened and asked questions. I have done a lot of work on my house and this company far exceeds any of the contractors I have used so far. So much so that I have never written a review before. They just did such a great job I think other people need to know!"

"On the day we moved into our house over a year ago, I ran into the chainlink fence along our driveway with the moving van and crumpled the end post. It was mostly upright but the chainlink part was not connected anymore and it looked awful. I finally decided to do something about this and called Greg's Fencing. They returned my phone call that night, and after we talked about the work, they came out the next day to inspect the damage and left me a written estimate far lower than what I had expected. After that, we communicated through voicemail for about a week until the repairs were done. There was a little confusion that resulted from not actually reaching each other on the phone, and at points it was not clear to me exactly when they would come out. A message they left on Friday said they would be out on Saturday or early the next week; the work was finally done Friday of that week. However, I was not in a great rush (as I had told them) and was very pleased to come home to find the fence restored to its former uprightness. They did not contact me after that, either by phone or with a bill, so I just mailed a check to their address for the amount of the estimate. The quality of the work is great, the price was great, the time frame was actually fine, and I think the communication would have worked out much better had I been available to answer the phone when they called. If I ever run over my fence again, I will definitely call them."

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.
