"York Fence is definitely a professional organization when it comes to customer service, installation and appearance. Their crew was prompt, organized and very methodical when it came to the installation itself. They cleaned up everything afterwards. Literally, there was nothing to be of concern about when this was over. More importantly, we achieved what we were looking for....privacy. I can't say enough good things about York Fence. Definitely a first class company who treats their customers right."

"It went great. From first contact with company in scheduling an estimate to the end result I was treated great. When they came out to take measurements, I was shown the product I was interested in and was told everything that would be done when they installed the fence. When I decided to use Straightforward Fence co INC, I was told how they scheduled their installations around inclement weather and it ended up that I didn't have to wait long at all. When the crew came to put up the fence they were very courteous and friendly. I love my new fence and I highly recommend Straightforward Fence Co.

"Mike and his team at Modern Fence were very well organized, reliable and efficient when they did the actual fence installation. They were very careful to respect the neighbor's property line when installing the fence and were careful to comply with my town's fence height requirements. I highly recommend Modern Fence."

"Juan & Precise Fence provide a A+ job at a competing price. We had 600 feet of black aluminum and 400 feet of farmer fence installed at our home. Juan provide the skills do the entire job from start to finish. Other fence companies wanted us to hire other contractors to complete task such as clearing debris, tree limbs removal, leveling yard or constructing a farmer fence. Our fence is incredibly straight and level and was completed quickly. We’re incredibly thankful for Juan’s insights and recommendations. If you want a custom fence with personal care and attention along the way contact Precise Fence. Juan built and cared for the fence as if it was his own. Thank you!"

"Had an old wooden picket fence that was falling apart. Montco Fence replace the wood fence with a white Vinyl picket fence. The guys were terrific, it was a tough job in that part of the fence went through fairly heavy vegetation that required a lot of work to remove the old fence. We are very happy with the work and results. I would recommend and we will use again when it comes time to replace some privacy fencing we have in the next few years."

FAQs for fencing service projects in Princeton, NJ

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.
