"I like them a lot. I thought the agent that came out was very good. He gave me I thought a good estimate with all the factors taken into account. There was a woman at the office that I was going to go look at fencing. Unfortunately, I broke my leg and I have a cast on; I haven't been able to get there. So far I can say the company I think is very highly rated. The cost varies according to requirements. I haven't gotten a solid estimate. I've taken a look at other things but nothing that I would compare to them. On pricing, I think they're fair. I think their product is good, the quality of the workmanship seems to be excellent, and I haven't had it installed yet. That's just a guesstimate. They replaced a fence that was hand made that I had nothing but trouble with, and they really covered every single issue that I had with that previous fence so that I wouldn't run into the same problem again, so I have a lot of optimism about this outcome."

"Maria showed up for estimate within a day of contacting company . She had the estimate emailed to me the very next day . Within 2 days I gave her a deposit and 2 weeks later fence was installed . Met with Julio to go over over everything with him and Maria and they got started . Took 2 days to dig all footing with cement and install fence . It came out so great . I plan on using them next year to put a partial fence in front and side of my property . I would recommend these guys to anyone looking for fencing . The quality of the fence they use looks and feels way stronger then what I saw at stores too."

"AVP Fence did an outstanding job, at a very fair price. Paul was responsive, and the work got done very quickly. Part of the job involved replacing a section of fence, including a corner post, that had been crushed by a large fallen tree. AVP not only made the fence good as new – including replacing the post while the ground was frozen – but they also were willing to cut and and remove the tree to an unused area of our property. All-in-all, as good an experience as one could hope for. In future, AVP is the only company that I'll be calling for any work on my fencing. About a year earlier, we were considering creating an enclosed area in the yard for our dogs. We wound up deciding not to go forward with that project, but I worked with Paul at that time, too. He was incredibly patient with and responsive to changes that we made in the plans, and his proposed price was very reasonable. My experience with him then was so positive that I didn't hesitate to call him else for this later job, and I'm glad I did."

"I called Mr. Robert Wagner for an estimate for a fence repair. He came promptly and gave me a thorough and detailed explanation of the work that needs to be done on my fence. He is very professional and very thorough."

FAQs for fencing service projects in Mount Vernon, NY

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.
