Anyone know what fences are running these days?

Looking to put in eight foot board on board. Just trying to get a ball park price per LF to start socializing the cost with the boss.

Had a 6' cedar fence done 2 years ago and it was about $20 a linear foot. I'm guessing it's more now.

2 estimates for 8 ft board on board horizontal were $9,000 for 109 linear feet, no gates.

I also had my handyman quote it, he was at $7500. These were all quoted in December.

No kidding. The price I quoted was using existing poles - I know poles and concrete have gotten $$$. But still.

I just had my fence replaced. Quotes were $56 - $61/lft, but mine has 6 and 8 foot sections due to elevation changes. They probably used 60% 6' and 40% 8' pickets.

Home Depot has 6', unstained western red cedar pickets for $3.96 right now. Those are 5.5" wide. Board on Board you get about 3-3.5" per picketed. So call that ~$16/LF for the picket alone.... posts, rails, and staining... yeah I could see how it gets to $50/LF pretty quick.

I thought this thread was about strollers.

Last week had standard 6-foot cedar picket fence with 6-inch rot board & all treated lumber installed on back fence. $26/lf for 90 feet in Kingwood. Same contractor that does all local HOA work.

Who was the company? Co-worker is needing to replace 300 linear feet of fence. Quotes around $22K. He is hoping to get it under $20K.

I used USA Fence & Roofing, 469 853 8989. I go to church with the owner. I also had a quote from Trutex. Their quote was pretty close and several of my neighbors have used them.

Did this quote include staining the fence?

Yes. The pickets were pre-stained.

2nd estimate is $4600 or ~ $150/lf.

Drilling holes for and installing posts is always going to add a lot cost due to the labor AND they have to come out on two different days.

Quote I paid above was using existing posts. You can't compare price per linear foot for with vs without posts.

At $20/lft I would drill and put in my own posts. Black gumbo prairie be damned.

No ***** When I had mine done, I had two posts that needed replacement. I did those myself before the fence guy came.
