Searches for “fence queens” have exploded in recent years as homeowners look for privacy, safety, and curb appeal in one of New York City’s busiest boroughs. Yet the average Queens block features a maze of zoning rules, tight lot lines, and wildly fluctuating material costs. That is why CountBricks has become the go-to residential construction partner for local property owners who need clear answers, fast.
When a Queens homeowner types “fence queens” into a browser, they usually want three things:
• An accurate budget range they can trust
• A local crew that knows NYC building codes
• A timeline that respects their busy schedule
Traditional contractors still rely on handwritten measurements and outdated price books. CountBricks replaces guesswork with real-time voice conversation, blueprint takeoffs, and live material databases so every number reflects today’s market—down to the screw.
CountBricks unites estimating, design, procurement, and project management inside a single AI-driven environment. The result is shorter lead times, fewer change orders, and a fence that fits both your yard and your budget.

• Pressure-treated wood privacy fences for mid-block yards
• Ornamental aluminum railings along historic front stoops
• Vinyl picket fences that resist coastal humidity near Rockaway
• Chain-link perimeter fences for driveway security in Corona
• Hybrid cedar panels with steel posts to withstand high winds in Breezy Point
CountBricks data shows the average installed price ranges from $42 to $68 per linear foot, but several variables tilt the scale:
• Material grade: Cedar runs higher than spruce; powder-coated aluminum costs more than galvanized steel.
• Terrain complexity: Sloped yards require stepped or racked panels, adding labor hours.
• Existing structures: Removing an old chain-link fence can add 5-10% to total cost.
• Permit fees: NYC DOB filing ranges from $260 to $550 depending on scope.
Because CountBricks recalculates each factor in seconds, you never pay a padded “safety buffer.”
• Accuracy within 2% of final invoice, verified across 1,100 Queens projects
• Voice-to-estimate workflow delivers a complete proposal in under 15 minutes
• Automated change-order tracking eliminates spreadsheet chaos
• Integrated material ordering slashes lead time by up to 30%
Queens zoning dictates maximum fence heights—typically 6 ft in backyards and 4 ft in front yards. Corner lots face additional “sight triangle” rules to preserve driver visibility. CountBricks embeds these parameters into every takeoff so designs are compliant before they hit DOB desks. Homeowners associations in neighborhoods like Forest Hills Gardens often layer on style requirements; our template library speeds up submissions and approvals.
• Wood: Apply UV-blocking stain every two years.
• Vinyl: Rinse with mild detergent to prevent mold.
• Metal: Inspect welds and repaint scratches to avoid corrosion.
CountBricks schedules post-installation check-ins and links you to replacement part inventories right inside your project dashboard.
