Cost of vinyl fence installation?
Question:Does anyone know how much it costs to have a vinyl privacy fence installed?? I think they usually charge by foot, but while our yard is on the small side, the first estimate we got was $4000 total to install. That is more than the cost of the fence and hardware! I didn't even ask for a break-down of the cost, this just seemed way to high to me! I have no base of comparison, so I just want to see if anyone knows about how much it should cost, or how much someone else has paid. Thank you!
Answers:
get a couple of bids before you make your choice and get every detail in writing...it will make all the difference ..we went with cedar...just in the front.it cost around 1500..went with MidWest fence...chk around do you homework.
We charged about $900 for labor and supplyfor a real wood fence. It is really easy to do and i doubt you would have any problem at all putting up yourselves. There is also a good feeling that you will get when you do it yourself.
Go to home depot or lowes and find out what the fence will cost. allow about 10-15% mark up and labor which varies by location.
We charge around $25 a ft. Or you can purchase from Lowes and we charge $3 a ft to install. Keep in mine the stuff at lowes is premade panels and is more flimsy then what a contractor may get. The best is not prebuilt and has medal inserts in the gate post. Get several estimates, ask about quality of materials. Also lowes has a pro series that is supposed to be better.
