"The Fence Guy, Keith, and his team, do great work. They've installed my privacy fence, added on to my fence, and also done a repair to a fence. He takes great pride in doing high quality work."

"Terrific, as usual! Our family has been pleased with Lance's Hidden Fencing since our first encounter more than 12 years ago. Lance and his team are polite, patient and knowledgeable. Over the years our needs have included repair after accidental severing, relocation of boundaries and upgrading of a system installed by another company. Work has always been completed in a timely fashion (even in cold and rainy November weather). Most recently, the new guys came up with the perfect solution for our specific fencing needs. Challenge accepted and DONE and no additional charge :) Thanks, Lance and Co. It's great to know we can always count on you to make our dogs safe."

"I called several places for a quote; some were not interested in the job. One of the businesses referred me to Fence-N-Deck Doctors. Setting up my appointment for an estimate was fast and easy. He was professional, provided us a very honest opinion with suggestions, and knew exactly what we wanted. They didn't come out when we expected but it was for the obvious heavy rain season we just had. I was updated regularly. The day finally come, their crew showed up and went to work. All of them knew what their job was and worked in sync with one another. Everyone was super friendly and did a great job of cleaning up as they went. We are very happy with our fence and the professionalism of everyone involved."

"Luis Perez did a great job! He repaired our existing fence in several spots, removed old fencing, and installed new fencing with a double gate along the back of our property. We appreciated how quickly he performed the fence repair and installation, and how polite and professional he was. We would definitely hire Luis Perez again!"

"It went great! Jeff came out and made sure that he divided the duplex directly down the middle and got to work really fast. The job was tough because he had to go through a lot of concrete and blacktop but he got it done. He also installed a gate for each side and they're great. We did have an issue with the way one was settling, nothing that was done on his part, and he came right out and adjusted the gates. We will 100% use them again for any of her fence needs."

"It took a few weeks to get this work scheduled but we finally got it done. The crew came out and quickly removed 4 bushes with stumps/roots, removed all debris and added new top soil to level off the area. I'm now looking to get a quote to build a porch!!"

"Excellent. JC3 is a small company. Jerry, the owner, gave us several alternatives to replace an existing fence and we settled on cedar dog-ear pickets. Total job time was about 4 hours, 2 hours in the evening to remove and set new posts and 2 hours the next morning to install the stringers and pickets. I was impressed with the professionalism, speed of the work and price paid.
You won't be disappointed...

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.
