Most homeowners decide to install a fence on their own because of the cost. Many homeowners will not bother asking for an estimate, assuming that the cost would be prohibitive. In fact, most homeowners estimate their materials and do the entire job themselves. Visit us!
What is the cost of hiring a fence builder?
Fences are not expensive in most cases. It is the installer, and not the builder who builds fences. Hardware stores will sell you the already-assembled fence sections. After the sections are assembled, they must be securely attached to posts that run along the perimeter of your property. Installation of posts along the boundary is a time consuming task.
Size of yard is the most significant factor in determining the cost to hire a fencing contractor. Fence sections measure eight feet and need to have a pole in each corner. To support the fence more posts will be needed, which means that more holes must be dug. Concrete also needs to be added.
There are also gates. There will be gates in most yards, but some may require more. The cost of each gate is an extra expense. The cost of larger gates is higher because they need to be reinforced and are needed by vehicles or boats.
There is also the matter of materials. You can choose from wrought-iron, aluminum, or composite fences. Wooden fences can be the least expensive and most beautiful but are not very durable. Aluminium fences can last a lifetime, but do not have a good look. Composites look like wood fences, are as attractive and last longer than aluminum and wooden fencing. If properly maintained, wrought-iron fences can last up to hundreds of decades.
Costs of fence installation are calculated by multiplying the number of linear feet that the fence will cover. Costs associated with hiring fence contractors include this calculation of linear feet, plus the labor cost to install posts for the fence. Although a fence installer may be more expensive, they will guarantee their work. They also assume any liability if anything happens while installing the fence.
