Got two or three fence quotes on the table?
They can be hard to compare. One lists every detail. Another is a single number.
Here is what a good written quote should show, so you can compare them side by side.
1. The Fence Type and Height
The quote should name the material and the height.
Wood, vinyl, aluminum and chain link all price differently. Our starting prices per foot:
- Wood privacy: from $32/ft
- Vinyl: from $36/ft
- Aluminum: from $30/ft
- Chain link: from $21/ft
2. The Footage
Look for the total linear feet.
That number should come from someone walking and measuring your fence line, not from a guess off a map.
3. Gates
Gates are often where quotes differ most.
- How many gates?
- How wide is each one?
- Walk gate or driveway gate?
See our gates page for options.
4. Old Fence Removal
If an old fence is coming out, the quote should say so.
Our old fence removal starts at $6/ft. See fence removal.
5. Who Does the Work
A quote is only as good as the crew behind it.
Ask who will build the fence. Every installer of ours is a W-2 employee. We don't use subcontractors.
6. The Timeline
A good quote comes with a realistic schedule.
- From signing to install: about 4 weeks.
- On-site install: most fences take 1–2 days.
7. Permits and HOA Approval
Ask what the company handles and what you handle.
Rules differ by city and county. Our Panama City fence permit guide covers what to expect.
8. The Warranty
Get it in writing.
Every fence we build is backed by our Lifetime craftsmanship warranty.
9. Payment Options
Check the minimum and how you can pay.
Our minimum project is $1,000. We offer financing through Wisetack.
Comparing Quotes: Quick Tips
- Compare the same material and height.
- Count the gates on each quote.
- Check if removal is included.
- Ask who installs.
- Compare warranties, not just price.
