This is a Preliminary Estimate
This estimator provides a starting point based on typical jobs. Actual costs may vary based on site conditions, material availability, permit requirements, and other factors discovered during work. We recommend a site visit before providing final pricing to customers.
This estimate is based on typical job parameters. Review and adjust for your specific situation. Standard market rates for your region, mid-grade materials unless specified, standard business hours labor rates, typical job complexity without major complications, basic cleanup included in labor time.
Job complexity
Simple repairs cost less than full installations or replacements. Multi-step jobs requiring permits or inspections add to the total.
Material quality
Budget, mid-grade, and premium materials can swing the price significantly. Discuss options with your contractor to find the right balance.
Local labor rates
Labor costs vary by region, season, and demand. Urban areas and peak seasons typically have higher rates than rural or off-peak times.
Site conditions
Difficult access, older structures, code upgrades, or unexpected issues discovered during work can increase the final cost.

Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
To calculate the linear footage, measure the perimeter of the area where the fence will be installed. For odd-shaped yards, break the area into straight segments and measure each one, then add the lengths together. Always add a small percentage (e.g., 5-10%) for waste or adjustments.
The per-linear-foot price typically includes both material and labor costs combined for a standard installation. Labor costs, when quoted separately, refer specifically to the hourly or project-based fee for the work performed, not including materials. In Atlanta, fence pros might charge $40 to $90 per hour for labor.
Installing a fence on complex terrain, such as slopes or rocky ground, significantly increases labor and potentially material costs. Contractors may apply a surcharge of $12–$18 per linear foot on top of basic installation rates to cover the added difficulty and time required for digging, leveling, and securing fence posts.
While the gate itself occupies linear footage in the fence line, it's typically priced as a separate item due to its higher material and labor costs. Gates can add $150 to $400 each to the total project cost, so it's best to quote them distinctly rather than averaging them into the linear footage rate.
The cost of old fence removal, typically $3–$8 per linear foot, is influenced by the material of the existing fence (e.g., heavy wood vs. light chain-link), the ease of access for removal, and disposal fees. More robust or deeply set fences will generally cost more to remove.
