Installing a fence yourself saves 50% of the total cost, but may take two full weeks of labor. Fencing materials alone cost $8 to $15 per linear foot, plus $200 to $500 for renting or buying equipment such as a drill, hammer, saw, auger, post hole digger, and measuring tape.
A professional fence contractor knows local building codes, pulls permits, flags underground utility lines, provides a warranty, and only takes 2 to 4 days to install a new fence.
Search for fence installers in your area to ensure the fence is built correctly.
