The phrase “cost to install vinyl fence” is searched thousands of times every month by Boston‐area homeowners who want the classic look of white pickets without the yearly repainting. Yet most online figures are national averages that ignore local labor rates, New England weather considerations, and sudden material price swings. CountBricks closes that gap with AI-powered estimates that listen to your project goals in real time and deliver precise, neighborhood-specific numbers.
• Low upkeep compared to wood or wrought iron
• Resists rot and salt air—critical near the coast
• Wide style selection, from privacy panels to traditional rails
• Lifetime manufacturer warranties on premium products
Privacy fences (6–8 ft) require more vinyl and sturdier posts than 4-ft decorative panels, adding both material and labor expense.
Every extra foot increases posts, panels, and concrete. CountBricks voice-to-estimate automatically calculates precise footage from your site walk-through or uploads from CountBricks.com/blueprint-takeoffs.
Boston frost lines demand deeper post holes—often 42 inches—along with concrete footings that can raise costs by 10–15 % over warmer regions.
Single walk gates average $350–$550 installed, while double-drive gates start near $1,100. Upgraded latches or smart locks add another layer.
• Rocky soil or ledge requires specialty augers or hand digging
• Sloped yards need stepped or racked panels
• Existing fence removal and disposal averages $3–$5 per linear foot
Standard 4-ft ornamental vinyl: $28–$34 per linear foot installed
6-ft tongue-and-groove privacy: $38–$46 per linear foot installed
Premium wood-look vinyl: $45–$55 per linear foot installed

• Vinyl panels: 50–60 % of total budget
• Posts and post caps: 15–20 %
• Concrete and gravel: 5–8 %
• Gates and specialty hardware: 10–15 %
• Fasteners, sealants, miscellaneous: 3–5 %
Even with prefab panels, labor still represents roughly 40 % of the installed price. Certified fence crews typically work in two-to-three-person teams and complete 150–200 linear feet per day, weather permitting. CountBricks benchmarks its labor module against verified field productivity data, ensuring your quote reflects real-world crew performance rather than optimistic spreadsheets.
Upload your site survey or full architectural plans to CountBricks.com/blueprint-takeoffs. Our AI reads scale, elevation changes, and gate placements, then outputs a color-coded markup and exact materials list minutes later. That precision eliminates the 10-12 % contingency most contractors add to cover miscounts.
Boston requires a building permit for fences over 6 ft and mandates post placement at least 1 ft from public sidewalks. CountBricks embeds these rules into every estimate so you’re never blindsided by compliance costs or delays.
• Schedule installs between April and October to avoid frozen ground surcharges
• Choose UV-protected vinyl with titanium dioxide to prevent yellowing
• Opt for stainless steel gate hinges—Boston’s coastal moisture corrodes zinc quickly
• Ask your neighbors about sharing the cost of boundary fence sections

A Boston homeowner needed 110 linear feet of 6-ft tongue-and-groove vinyl to enclose a historic brownstone’s tiny backyard. Traditional bids varied wildly—from $5,900 to $7,800—because contractors disagreed on post depth, gate hardware, and winter digging premiums.

• Our AI scanned local supplier inventories, identifying an in-stock privacy panel at $29 per foot and stainless gate kit at $410.
• Frost-line data triggered a 42-inch post depth and flagged a small-equipment surcharge for tight alley access.
