| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood & Privacy Fence Installation | From $32/ft | Cedar privacy fencing is the standard here, since it holds up to nine months of Portland rain better than fir. We set posts with gravel drainage so the base doesn't sit damp in the silt loam all winter. |
| Vinyl & PVC Fence Installation | From $42/ft | Vinyl fencing sheds Portland's long wet season without the rot risk that untreated wood faces here. We still set posts below the frost line and add drainage gravel since damp silt loam holds moisture around the base. |
| Chain Link Fence Installation | From $19/ft | Galvanized chain link resists the moss and corrosion that Portland's wet season brings to fence lines. We use coated fasteners and set posts clear of tree roots common along older Portland property lines. |
| Aluminum & Ornamental Iron Fencing | From $46/ft | Aluminum and iron fencing holds up through Portland's wet season without rusting like bare steel. We set posts deep enough to stay solid in the region's damp silt loam year-round. |
| Fence Repair | From $475 | Fence repair in Portland usually means fixing rot and moss damage from nine months of rain, not storm breaks. We replace damaged boards, reset loose posts, and treat bases so the repair outlasts the next wet season. |
| Storm Damage Fence Repair | Free damage assessment | Coastal windstorms bring down more Portland fences than freeze ever does in this region's mild frost. We assess wind-snapped posts and rain-soaked panels, then repair or replace what the storm actually damaged. |
| Fence Post Repair & Replacement | From $475 | A leaning fence post in Portland usually means damp silt loam, not frost, since the ground here rarely freezes deep. We dig out the saturated footing, reset the post with proper drainage, and match it to the existing line. |
| Gate Installation & Repair | From $495 | A gate on a Portland fence often sags first, since damp silt loam keeps the hinge post soft for months. We set the hinge post deeper, square the frame, and use hardware that resists rust through the wet season. |
| Automatic & Driveway Gates | From $3,100 | Automatic gates here need hardware that resists corrosion through Portland's nine months of rain each year. We set posts deep in silt loam, weatherproof the opener, and grade the drive for the region's steep terrain where needed. |
| Pool Fence Installation | From $37/ft | A pool fence here must meet the pool barrier code that applies at your address, built for Portland's wet climate. We set posts below grade with drainage, size gaps to code, and hang the gate to swing away and latch high. |
| Fence Replacement & Removal | From $2,650 | Fence replacement in Portland often starts with old wood gone soft from years of moss and standing rain. We remove the failed fence, haul it off, and set new posts with drainage suited to the region's silt loam. |
| Fence Staining & Restoration | From $1,050 | Cedar fencing in Portland needs regular staining, since nine months of rain pushes moss and rot fast. We clean the wood, treat it for moisture, and reseal so the fence holds through the next wet season. |
| Commercial & Temporary Fencing | Free site quote | Commercial sites in Portland need temporary fencing that holds up through the region's long wet season. We set panels on stable footing across job sites from inner neighborhoods to Washington and Clackamas county subdivisions. |
| Farm & Ranch Fencing | From $14/ft | Farm and ranch fencing out through Washington and Clackamas counties has to handle wet ground and heavy tree canopy. We set posts deep enough to stay solid in silt loam and choose materials that resist the region's long rainy season. |
What Affects the Price
- Fence Material and Style : Different materials have different costs. Chain link is the most economical option, while ornamental iron and automatic gates represent premium investments. Wood, vinyl, and aluminum fall in between, each offering distinct durability and aesthetic benefits.
- Linear Footage and Project Size : Most fence installation is priced per linear foot, so a 100-foot fence costs more than a 50-foot fence. Larger projects may qualify for modest per-foot discounts, but complexity and site access matter more than volume alone.
- Site Conditions and Terrain : Sloped yards, rocky soil, existing structures, and difficult access increase labor time and costs. Flat, clear ground with easy equipment access keeps prices lower. Storm damage or extensive rot may require additional assessment and removal work.
- Repair vs. Replacement Scope : Simple repairs like replacing a few boards or fixing a gate hinge cost less than full fence replacement or removal. Extensive damage, rot, or structural issues may require complete sections to be rebuilt, affecting final pricing.

Pricing FAQ
Why does fence pricing vary so much between materials?
Each material has different durability, maintenance requirements, and installation complexity. Chain link is affordable and low-maintenance but less private. Wood offers classic appeal but requires staining and eventual replacement. Vinyl and aluminum are premium options that last longer and need minimal upkeep, justifying higher upfront costs.
