| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood & Privacy Fence Installation | From $26/ft | Kansas City's default back-yard fence: 6-ft cedar or treated-pine privacy built to survive freeze-thaw clay. Posts set below the frost line in concrete; galvanized fasteners; dog-ear or board-on-board. We size the gap for the ground movement your lot actually has. |
| Vinyl & PVC Fence Installation | From $37/ft | Low-maintenance vinyl privacy, picket and ranch rail that will not gray out or need staining. Heavy-wall extrusions rated for Missouri wind and ice loads, with reinforced gate posts where the span needs it. |
| Chain Link Fence Installation | From $15/ft | Galvanized and black vinyl-coated chain link for yards, dogs and commercial lots. The most fence per dollar, and still the right answer on a lot of Northeast and Midtown properties where sight lines matter more than privacy. |
| Aluminum & Ornamental Iron Fencing | From $41/ft | Powder-coated aluminum and ornamental iron for front yards, pools and estate perimeters. Rust-resistant, rackable over rolling ground, and the only material that keeps a view while still closing the lot. |
| Fence Repair | From $450 | Leaning sections, cracked pickets, sagging gates and wind-damaged panels put right. We tell you plainly when a repair buys you five more years and when you are throwing money at a fence that is done. |
| Storm Damage Fence Repair | Free damage assessment | Spring derechos, straight-line winds and ice storms flatten fence lines across the metro every year. We rebuild fast in matching material and document the damage properly so you can file your claim. |
| Fence Post Repair & Replacement | From $450 | Expansive Missouri clay heaves posts every freeze-thaw cycle and ground-line moisture rots the rest. Posts are why most Kansas City fences fail first; we reset or replace them below the frost line so the run stops moving. |
| Gate Installation & Repair | From $475 | Custom wood, vinyl and metal gates built square and hung on hardware that holds. Adjustable anti-sag hinges, self-latching hardware, and a gap that still works after the ground moves. |
| Automatic & Driveway Gates | From $2,800 | Sliding and swing driveway gates with professional-grade openers, keypads, safety sensors and loop detection. Sized for the slope and the winter, so the gate still opens in February. |
| Pool Fence Installation | From $33/ft | Aluminum, mesh and glass pool barriers installed to Missouri and local barrier code: height, gap and self-closing self-latching gates. Inspected once, done right, and it stays legal. |
| Fence Replacement & Removal | From $2,300 | Full tear-out, haul-away and rebuild, or a clean removal if that is all you want. Old post concrete comes out too; leaving it is how the next fence ends up crooked. |
| Fence Staining & Restoration | From $900 | Cleaning, brightening and stain-sealing for cedar and pine. On a Kansas City fence that has never been sealed, this is the single cheapest thing that adds years to it. |
| Commercial & Temporary Fencing | Free site quote | Commercial chain link, security fence, temporary construction panels and silt fence for general contractors across the metro. Permitting help, scheduled installs and teardown on your timeline. |
| Farm & Ranch Fencing | From $11/ft | Ranch rail, no-climb horse fence, field wire and pipe fencing for acreage in Clay, Platte, Cass and Ray counties. Built for livestock pressure and for the equipment that has to get through the gate. |
What Affects the Price
- Fence Material and Type : Different materials have different costs. Chain link is the most economical option, while vinyl, wood, and ornamental iron command higher prices due to durability and aesthetic appeal.
- Linear Footage and Project Size : Most fence installations are priced per linear foot. Larger projects may qualify for modest volume discounts, and we always provide accurate measurements during your free estimate.
- Site Conditions and Terrain : Sloped yards, rocky soil, existing fence removal, and accessibility challenges can affect labor time and equipment needs, which we assess during the initial consultation.
- Additional Features and Customization : Gates, posts, caps, staining, and decorative elements add to the base price. Automatic driveway gates and custom ornamental designs require specialized installation.
