| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood & Privacy Fence Installation | From $27/ft | Fayetteville's classic 6-ft privacy fence, built for sandy Sandhills soil and long humid summers. Pressure-treated posts set deep in concrete, cedar or treated-pine pickets, board-on-board or side-by-side. We tell you honestly when cedar is worth it and when treated pine is the smarter budget call. |
| Vinyl & PVC Fence Installation | From $38/ft | Low-maintenance vinyl privacy, picket and ranch-rail fencing that shrugs off humidity, termites and North Carolina summer sun. Manufacturer-backed panels, correct post spacing and concrete-set footings, with no warping shortcuts. Honest guidance on where vinyl beats wood and where it doesn't. |
| Chain Link Fence Installation | From $16/ft | Galvanized and black vinyl-coated chain link for yards, pets, driveways and commercial lots. The toughest fence per dollar in Fayetteville: correct gauge, properly tensioned mesh and braced corners that stay tight in sandy soil, with privacy slats or windscreen where you need them. |
| Aluminum & Ornamental Iron Fencing | From $42/ft | Powder-coated aluminum and ornamental iron fencing for pools, front yards and established homes. Rust-resistant panels, clean welds and racked installation where lots slope toward the creeks: the premium look that actually holds up to Carolina humidity and summer storms. |
| Fence Repair | From $450 | Leaning sections, broken pickets, sagging gates and storm-damaged panels, repaired in every fence material. We tell you honestly when a repair will hold and when replacement is the better spend. Most repairs are completed in a single visit. |
| Storm Damage Fence Repair | Free damage assessment | After a hurricane, a tropical storm or a summer thunderstorm, we rebuild fallen sections fast: same line, same look, stronger posts. We assess the damage and document it with photos and a written estimate to help your insurance claim. |
| Fence Post Repair & Replacement | From $450 | Fayetteville's sandy, damp soil and busy termites rot posts at the ground line and let them shift, the reason most fences lean. We reset or replace posts in fresh concrete, plumb and braced, saving the rest of your fence instead of selling you a new one. |
| Gate Installation & Repair | From $475 | Custom wood, vinyl and metal gates built square and hung right. Adjustable hinges, self-latching hardware and anti-sag bracing, plus rebuilds of gates that drag or bind as sandy soil shifts and wood swells in humid weather, usually the first part of any fence to fail. |
| Automatic & Driveway Gates | From $2,800 | Sliding and swing driveway gates with professional-grade openers, keypads and safety sensors. Installation and repair on all major opener brands, with surge protection for summer lightning, plus solar-powered options for rural properties without trenched power. |
| Pool Fence Installation | From $34/ft | Aluminum, mesh and glass pool barriers for Fayetteville-area backyards, built to the pool barrier code that applies at your address. Self-closing, self-latching gates and posts set deep in sandy soil so the latch stays aligned, and we walk the requirements with you before a single post is set. |
| Fence Replacement & Removal | From $2,400 | Complete tear-out, haul-away and rebuild, or a straight removal if that's all you need. We reuse what's sound, replace what isn't, and quote repair versus full replacement side by side so you decide with real numbers. |
| Fence Staining & Restoration | From $950 | Professional cleaning, brightening and stain-sealing for cedar and pine fences. Done right it can double the life of the wood under Carolina sun and humidity, and we tell you when staining still makes sense and when the wood is past saving. |
| Commercial & Temporary Fencing | Free site quote | Commercial chain link, security fencing, temporary construction fence and silt fence for jobsites across Fayetteville and Cumberland County. Fast installs, code-aware layouts and volume pricing for builders, GCs and property managers. |
| Farm & Ranch Fencing | From $12/ft | Ranch rail, no-climb horse fence, field wire and pipe fencing for acreage across the Sandhills and Cape Fear region. We cover Cumberland, Hoke, Harnett and Robeson counties with straight lines over long runs, braced corners set deep in sandy soil and gates sized for trailers and equipment. |
What Affects the Price
- Fence length and height : Longer fences and taller fences require more materials and labor, directly increasing the total cost. Most prices are quoted per linear foot, so the total footage is a primary driver.
- Material choice : Wood, vinyl, chain link, aluminum, and ornamental iron have different material costs. Vinyl and ornamental metal typically cost more per foot than wood or chain link due to raw material and specialized installation.
- Site accessibility and terrain : Sloped, rocky, or obstructed yards may require extra labor, special equipment, or additional post support. Easy access for trucks and tools can reduce installation time and cost.
- Removal and cleanup : Removing an old fence and hauling away debris adds to the project cost. Cleanup and disposal are often included in replacement quotes but can vary by contractor.
