"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."

"Lance and his company was most professional and courteous before we even committed to an install. Once we scheduled an install, it was well executed and looked and worked great. Training was done by a superb trainer that our dog took to immediately. You can tell they care about their profession as well as the animal. A year later, damage was done by a third party. Lance himself showed up promptly on a holiday weekend to fix the fence and save our weekend. I can't recommend Lance's Hidden Fencing enough. A+ job."

"Fence-N-Deck Doctor’s has ended up being the best company that I have ever used for work done for my home. The company is owned by a husband and wife and they are extremely helpful with any questions or concerns I had. The price was extremely fair compared to other “big” fence companies. The work was done in 2 days, and I have a very big backyard that needed to be done. They removed the old fence I had up and put up a beautiful 6 ft privacy fence. I couldn’t be happier with the work that they and their team did. They even came back out after it was put up to make sure I was happy with the results. I recently also had a branch fall on the fence that they put up, and they came back out the same week and fixed the damage done. Would recommend 10/10 to anyone thinking or needing a new fence put up!!! The fence is gorgeous and they have put together an outstanding company."

"It looks great. It's not a 'normal' fence. I found something I wanted on Pinterest, and Skip and his crew did it exactly how I wanted. It took longer than he thought it would, partially because of the weather and partially because the wire mesh was hard to find. They had to drive around Columbus, Newark, and Zanesville to find something that would work. He even bought something that he decided was too flimsy, installed one piece and decided it wasn't good enough quality. AND, he passed on the $125 price difference to us. Good guy doing good work!"

"Angel and his crew completely re-made our entire backyard. What was previously a mud pit was turned into a beautiful paved patio with a stunning fire pit and seating wall, and brand new sodsurrounded by two types of new fences. In addition they trimmed up our large tree to allow light to the new sod. Angel was very responsive via text (my preferred communication method). He provided me with samples, pictures, ideas, etc throughout the process. His crew arrived early every day that weather permitted (before 9am) and they didn’t stop until 5 or 6pm. They always made sure that they had their things put away each night so as to not leave a mess. He was also very flexible with me as we changed the design mid project. I can’t say enough good things about these guys and the work they did. I will continue to use them for any landscaping project and will refer them to all of my friends. A+++"

"Halvey Fencing did a wonderful job removing our old fencing and installing the new back chain link fence. They were quick to respond any time we had questions and offered several suggestions that we are going to implement. We are also hoping to partner with them on a future project!"

"Corey and his staff were great. They did an amazing job and were courtesy and receptive to our needs. We originally hired Corey just for the patio work but then due to our satisfaction with that job, we hired him for our fence project as well as the removal of a few trees, replacement of screens and some rotten wood panels on our screened in patio and laying down a flagstone walkway on the side of our home. We look to hire him again in the future for other miscellaneous projects. I would highly recommend Fletcher's!"

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.
