Fence Pricing in Charlotte, NC

One of the first questions homeowners ask us is, “How much does a fence cost?”

The answer depends on the type of fence, height, design, property conditions, gates, and other details. But we also understand that homeowners want a realistic idea of cost before calling a fence company.
Below are some of our typical starting price ranges per linear foot for fence installation in the Charlotte area. These are real-world starting prices based on the types of fences we regularly install. Your final price may vary depending on your property and the details of your project.

Wood Privacy Fence | Starting Around $20–$22 Per Linear Foot

Wood remains one of the most popular choices for homeowners looking for privacy, a clear property border, and good value. A standard wood stockade privacy fence typically starts around $20–$22 per linear foot. Custom wood fences—including board-on-board, shadowbox, decorative tops, custom heights, upgraded lumber, or other designs—are priced individually based on the design, materials, and additional labor involved. If you’re looking for an affordable way to add privacy to your backyard, standard wood privacy fencing is often one of the best values.

Aluminum Fence | Starting Around $25–$30 Per Linear Foot

Aluminum fencing is a great option for homeowners who want a clean, attractive fence with very little maintenance. Our aluminum fence installations generally start around $25–$30 per linear foot, depending on the height, style, and design of the fence. Aluminum is especially popular around pools, backyards, and properties where homeowners want to maintain an open view while still creating a defined and secure space.

White Vinyl Privacy Fence | Starting Around $28–$32 Per Linear Foot

White vinyl privacy fencing is a popular choice for homeowners who want privacy without the regular maintenance associated with wood. Our standard white vinyl privacy fencing generally starts around $28–$32 per linear foot. Pricing can vary depending on fence height, material, layout, and property conditions. Other vinyl styles or custom designs can be quoted separately.

Chain-Link Fence | Starting Around $17–$20 Per Linear Foot

Chain-link fencing continues to be one of the most practical and affordable ways to secure a property. Our chain-link fence installations generally start around $17–$20 per linear foot, depending on the height, type of material, coating, and overall project. It’s a good option for backyards, pets, larger properties, and homeowners who want security and function at an affordable price.

What About Gates, Removal and Other Costs?

Every property is different, which is why we prefer to look at the property before giving a final price.

Gates, existing fence removal and disposal, difficult slopes, unusual terrain, custom designs, larger openings, special materials, and other project-specific work are priced separately.

Gates in particular can depend on the width, location, slope of the yard, fence material, and how the homeowner plans to use the opening. When we visit your property, we’ll go over these details with you and discuss the best options before giving you a final quote.
