How much does it cost to have someone install a fence?
The costs to hire an installer are determined both by the price of the material that is being installed an the labor costs that the contractor charges. For materials, a simple 6-foot wood privacy fence can cost as low as $25 a foot, although these types of wood fences won't last very long. If you upgrade to high quality, pre-stained wood, you may pay $40+ per foot for materials. Vinyl fences also have ranges depending on quality, color, and brand. A cheap vinyl 6-foot privacy fence can be similar to a cheap wood fence in price, whereas a high-end vinyl fence can cost more than $50 per foot. Trex composite 6-foot privacy fence costs about $55 per foot for materials.
Labor costs for fencing can vary quite a bit based on a number of factors. For one thing, each installer is different. They may charge more or less for labor depending on how large the product is, the type of material, or how much overhead they are dealing with. Additionally, the fencing market looks different all across the country, and so installers need to adjust their labor costs to either remain competitive or to reflect the high demand in their area. Lastly, local codes may make installing a fence either less or more expensive. These are just a few of the biggest factors affecting installation costs. On average, though, we have seen installers charge anywhere from $15-$35 per linear foot to cover their labor when installing Trex Fencing. So, if you have 100 feet of fencing needing to get installed, and the contractor is charging $25 per linear foot, you are looking at 100 x 25 = $2,500 in labor costs.
Don't let the high price tag scare you, though. Designing your landscape is expensive in general, but there are smart ways to ensure that your costs end up being an investment in your property. Trex Fencing requires more up front costs than many other fencing materials, but you end up saving yourself from the time and expenses of maintenance costs throughout the life of your fence.
