Pricing guide

What Changes the Cost of Fence and Deck Work?

We measure the fence line, but the footage is only part of the job. Taking out old concrete footings, fitting gates and working around corners can take much of the time. A narrow gap between a garage and a boundary also changes how we can dig and move material. We'll look at it before pricing the work. A deck estimate needs to say whether the rails, stairs and old frame are included. Composite boards and wood boards have different installation and maintenance needs, so we explain them against the same proposed deck. Composite deck builders need to follow the chosen board's support and fastening requirements; swapping the surface isn't always a straight replacement on an old frame. If you have a spa beside the work, leave room for hot tub maintenance. Filters, pumps and access panels need to be reached later. We ask which side opens before putting a rail or fence in front of it.

Wood Privacy Fence pricing and scope

We build wood privacy fences for yards that need screening, separation or a secure place for a dog.

We measure the run and price gates and demolition separately where needed. Old footings can take time to remove, and close spaces beside a garage can limit equipment access. Ask whether the quote includes hauling the old fence away and putting back anything temporarily removed to reach the work.

Vinyl Fence pricing and scope

We install vinyl fences when you want a panel system without the routine staining that wood needs.

Gate size, slope and taking out existing concrete footings affect the estimate. We list the agreed material and installation work so you’re comparing the same fence between quotes. If an older vinyl section needs matching, photographs and product information help us check whether compatible parts can still be obtained.

Chain Link & Aluminum Fence pricing and scope

If you need a fence without closing off the view, we can look at chain link or aluminum with you.

The estimate accounts for post spacing, grade changes and gate supports, not only fence footage. Different mesh or picket systems also have different costs and fitting requirements. If you need vehicle access, say what will pass through and how it turns into the opening so we can plan more than the nominal gate width.

Custom Deck Building pricing and scope

We plan a deck around the door and the space you want to use outside.

An estimate should distinguish footings and framing from the choice of surface board. Stairs, guardrails and removing an old deck can add substantial work. We also ask about access for materials. A tight side passage can affect handling throughout the job, so we walk that route while discussing the design.

Composite & Wood Decks pricing and scope

We help you compare wood with composite for the deck you actually want to build or resurface.

We explain the material options against the same scope, including any framing changes. Rails, borders and fascia should be clear in the estimate too. A low surface-board price isn’t a full comparison if one option leaves structural repairs for later. With wood, cleaning and future coatings need to be part of the decision as well.

Deck & Fence Repair pricing and scope

We start a repair by looking for why the part moved or failed.

The estimate includes the access needed to reach the failed part, not only the replacement piece. Material matching can be another issue on an older structure. A similar board or panel may fit differently or weather to a different color, so we discuss what you should expect before you decide how much of the fence or deck to repair.

What should the estimate include?

A useful estimate identifies the proposed work, important exclusions, price, preparation requirements, cleanup expectations, and what conditions could legitimately change the scope.

The written estimate sets the price. Every property is priced after the estimate, so this page explains what moves the number instead of quoting one.

How to compare two estimates

Check whether both proposals describe the same preparation, materials, quantities, access plan, protection, cleanup, disposal, and finished result. A lower number may omit work included in another proposal. Ask for clarification before treating totals as directly comparable.

Preparing for an estimate

Make the affected area reasonably accessible, gather photographs or prior paperwork when available, and identify the result you want. Mention deadlines, active damage, safety concerns, pets, tenants, gates, parking, or utility conflicts when scheduling.

Changes after work begins

Conditions hidden behind finishes, below grade, inside equipment, or within an existing assembly may not be visible beforehand. Ask how discoveries will be documented, priced, and approved. Additional work should not be treated as automatic merely because a project has started.
