What a Fence Estimate Covers: Cost and Installation Timeline
We walk your property, measure the fence line, and talk through material options — wood, vinyl, chain link, aluminum, or a code-compliant pool barrier — based on your yard, your budget, and any HOA rules that apply. If a permit is needed through the City of Edina Building Inspections Division, we explain that up front, and we schedule the required locate through Gopher State One Call as part of your project timeline, not as a surprise delay.
Which Fence Materials Cost More — and Why
Chain link is generally the least expensive material we install, and cedar and pressure-treated pine typically cost less up front than aluminum or ornamental steel — vinyl usually lands in between, costing more than basic wood initially but skipping the staining and sealing schedule wood needs over its life. Where your project falls inside those ranges comes down to linear footage, height, gate count, and corner posts, which is why the written number comes after a measurement.
The two cost drivers homeowners most often miss: gates — each one adds hardware and a heavier post footing — and site conditions like slopes, tree roots, and old footings that have to come out before new ones go in. A yard walk catches all of it, which is exactly what the free estimate is for.

What We Put in Writing
A firm written price
Your estimate is measured on-site and put in writing — never a phone-only ballpark that moves once a crew shows up.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What determines the cost of my fence?
Per-foot pricing depends on material — cedar, pressure-treated pine, vinyl, aluminum, and chain link all price differently — plus your gate count and yard layout. We give you a firm total after an on-site measurement, not a phone estimate.
Will my project need an Edina permit?
In most cases, yes. We handle the permit application with the City of Edina Building Inspections Division as part of your project, and we'll flag it at your estimate if your specific fence needs one.
When should I book my estimate?
Most Twin Cities installs happen between mid-spring and early-to-mid October, before the ground freezes. Booking your estimate earlier in that window gives you first pick of install dates.
What happens after I submit the form?
We'll follow up to schedule your free on-site estimate — most homeowners hear back within a couple of business days. If you'd rather talk it through first, call the number at the top of this page and we'll set the visit up on the spot.
