Fence Installation Costs

If you've ever wondered or asked, how much will fence installation cost, or how much will fence repair cost, then you're not alone! Installing or repairing a fence can be a significant investment that one should not take lightly. Many different factors go into an estimate for fencing, such as materials, labor, overhead, profit margin, and taxes. 

Materials are the most considerable expense, making up a significant portion of the total. The 
style of fence chosen has a significant impact on the Material cost. A vinyl fence, aluminum fence, or wrought-iron fence have some of the highest price tags ranging from $20-35 per foot. On the other hand, a chain-link fence will range from $10-15 per foot. But with the variability in cost, there is a give-and-take of overall curb appeal, longevity, and long-term maintenance and upkeep commitment. Labor will include any payroll, benefits, and other human capital costs incurred during the fence installation process and will vary based on the size of the yard, the length of the project, and the terrain of the yard or property, such as slopes or waving surfaces all impact pricing as these will all impact the time it takes to successfully complete the project.



The overhead expense covers the cost of rent, utilities, trucks, equipment, and other tools necessary to complete the fencing project. This expense is what is required for your favorite fencing company to keep the lights on and keep answering the phone to help you through your fence installation and fence repair projects. Much like overheard, Columbus Fence Co, or any other fencing company near me needs to make a profit to sustain the business and to continue to grow and prosper.  Columbus Fence Co is very conscious of how expensive fencing costs can be and makes every effort to provide the most exceptional value and service for the fence installation cost.
