Homeowners often begin a fencing project with one burning question: “What will my fence installation price be?” While the web is filled with generic ranges, CountBricks uses live material feeds, AI-powered takeoffs, and decades of residential field data to deliver figures you can trust. This guide explains every factor that shapes cost and shows how CountBricks makes pricing transparent, accurate, and lightning fast.
Even within the same neighborhood, two fences can differ by thousands of dollars. CountBricks estimators see five cost drivers on almost every residential job:
• Linear footage and fence height
• Material type (cedar, vinyl, ornamental steel, composite, etc.)
• Terrain conditions and site accessibility
• Local labor rates and crew availability
• Permitting, demolition, and finishing details
Below are typical turnkey ranges our platform has generated for 200+ recent residential projects. These figures include demo, posts, gates, hardware, and standard labor but exclude taxes and permit fees.
• Pressure-treated pine: $18 – $28 per linear foot
• Cedar: $24 – $38 per linear foot
• Vinyl: $28 – $42 per linear foot
• Composite: $42 – $55 per linear foot
• Ornamental steel/aluminum: $36 – $60 per linear foot
Material markets move weekly, which is why CountBricks pulls real-time supplier pricing the moment you request an estimate.
• Old fence removal and disposal
• Rocky soil augering or machinery rental
• Retaining or kick boards on sloped lots
• Custom gate hardware and automation
• Staining, sealing, or painting after install
• Municipal inspection fees and HOA submissions
Ignoring these items can inflate the final fence installation price by 10 – 20 %. CountBricks flags them automatically during the AI voice consultation so there are no surprises later.
1. Speak with our AI Estimator—no forms, no spreadsheets. Simply describe your yard and material preference.
2. Upload or snap smartphone pics of your survey or site plan. Our blueprint recognition engine converts them into instant takeoffs.
3. The platform cross-checks current lumber, vinyl, or steel costs from regional suppliers.
4. Local labor multipliers and historic productivity data refine the baseline.
5. Your interactive quote arrives, complete with line-item materials, tasks, and taxes—ready to accept or customize.
A San Antonio homeowner recently priced a 140-foot cedar fence through traditional contractors. Quotes ranged from $6,800 to $8,200 and took two weeks to arrive. Using CountBricks:
• Initial voice call to final PDF quote: 12 minutes
• Live supplier feed shaved $620 off lumber
• Crew scheduling optimization removed a full labor day
Total contract: $5,540—signed the same afternoon.
• Choose heights under 8 ft to avoid non-standard posts
• Group fencing with neighbors to split corner post costs
• Schedule during off-peak months when crews discount labor
• Opt for factory-colored vinyl to eliminate painting
• Bundle staining with installation to save return-trip charges

Ready to fence in your dream yard? CountBricks has the numbers—and the crews—to make it happen.
When the Ramirez family in the Brookside subdivision needed privacy around their new pool, three contractors quoted wildly different numbers, and each required an on-site visit two weeks out. They opened the CountBricks app instead.
1. Mrs. Ramirez spent five minutes in a voice chat describing a 6-foot, 180-linear-foot cedar fence with two gates.
2. She uploaded the plat map copied from her closing documents; CountBricks’ AI traced the lot lines and pinpointed gate locations automatically.
3. Within eight minutes, her dashboard showed:
• Cedar pickets at $2.86 each pulled from a preferred local mill
• 2 ⅜-inch schedule-20 posts adjusted for her clay soil
• Labor allowances reflecting a two-person crew in San Antonio’s current wage index
The initial fence installation price: $7,190. The family then toggled “factory staining” on the interactive quote, adding $620. A same-day acceptance locked the lumber price before a holiday surge, saving another projected 6 %.
• Order 10 % extra pickets when staining—returns are easier than color-matching later
• Upgrade hinges on pool gates to self-closing models to pass inspection in a single visit
• Use stepped panels on sloped yards, not angled rails, to keep pickets vertical and avoid gaps
From first conversation to finished install, CountBricks delivered the project in nine business days. Explore similar successes at CountBricks.com/portfolio and see how our AI-driven approach keeps residential fencing on time and on budget.
