"Simply put, they are The Best. Responded right away, helped with my vision for several projects that included brickwork (beautifully done!) around front beds, new cedar fence and gate and old fence removal, and most importantly a flower garden to memorialize my husband. They completed all of that in record time and for a really great price. Xavier and his Awesome Crew will get whatever job you have done, with care, communication and professionalism."

"William Oliver and crew are honest, hard working men who can literally do anything or know someone who can. After several quotes and countless hours, I knew immediately after meeting William that his company was the perfect one for the job. The team painted my home (brick and siding), replace rotted wood on my carport, built a new crawl space door, CUSTOM wooden handrails for my front steps, accent shutters as well as a wooden fence all in 3 days! Every crew member is friendly and answered any question that I had without hesitation or judgement. As a woman, having work done on my home, I felt respected and never blown off like I have experienced with other companies in the past. Anytime I called or messaged I heard back in a timely manner which is rare these days. I wholeheartedly support and recommend William and the Oliver Home Repair team!"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Do you need a permit to build a fence if you are simply replacing an existing fence? Whether you need a permit in this case depends on your local laws and regulations. Most municipalities consider a fence replacement project as being equal to building a new fence, so you likely will need a permit. Check with your local building inspection department or zoning department to see if you need a permit. If you hire a local fence contractor, this pro can take care of obtaining all permits for you.

In addition to the fence itself, several factors can impact the overall price of putting a fence in. Consider these add-ons and necessary expenses when building your project budget. For example, additional cost factors may include:

  • Removing your existing fence

  • Land leveling and other site work

  • Tree and stump removal

  • New landscaping

  • Working around underground utilities

  • Painting and staining

Most people prefer to keep the fence level by “stepping” the fence when running a horizontal fence over a slope. Stepping involves raising each panel between the posts as the fence moves over changes in slope, giving the fence line the appearance of stair steps. While this may be the preferred method of running a horizontal fence up a slope, there’s nothing wrong with installing your fence so it follows the undulations in the ground instead.

The most common hog wire gauge for a fence is 12.5. However, you can choose from a few gauges based on your needs. While 12.5 is a reliable gauge for penning in large, strong animals, 9 gauge is a better option of you have large animals that are easily spooked, such as horses. For smaller animals, like dogs or pigs, you can use a 16 gauge hog wire.

The cost to build a fence is about $3,100 on average, but you could pay anywhere from $400 to $13,700 or more. Your cost will depend on the length, height, and materials for the fence. If you hire a professional installer, labor costs typically represent about half of the total cost of the project. This means you potentially can save quite a bit of money doing the work yourself.
