| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood & Privacy Fence Installation | From $27/ft | The classic 6-ft cedar or treated-pine privacy fence, built for Ohio Valley humidity and Kentucky freeze-thaw. Pressure-treated posts set in concrete below the frost line, board-on-board or side-by-side, with straight lines held over long runs. We tell you honestly when cedar is worth it and when treated pine is the smarter budget call. |
| Vinyl & PVC Fence Installation | From $38/ft | Low-maintenance vinyl privacy, picket and ranch-rail fencing that shrugs off Kentucky summers. No painting, no staining. Manufacturer-backed panels, correct post spacing and concrete-set footings, with no warping shortcuts. Honest guidance on where vinyl beats wood and where it does not. |
| Chain Link Fence Installation | From $16/ft | Galvanized and black vinyl-coated chain link for yards, pets and commercial lots across Jefferson County. The toughest fence per dollar in Louisville: correct gauge, properly tensioned mesh and braced corners, with privacy slats or windscreen where you need them. |
| Aluminum & Ornamental Iron Fencing | From $42/ft | Powder-coated aluminum and ornamental iron fencing for pools, front yards and estates. From Old Louisville wrought-iron streetscapes to East End subdivisions, we set rust-resistant panels with clean welds, racked to follow the rolling lots common across the Highlands. |
| Fence Repair | From $450 | Leaning sections, broken pickets, sagging gates and wind-damaged panels, repaired in every fence material. We tell you honestly when a repair will hold and when replacement is the better spend. Most repairs are completed in a single visit. |
| Storm Damage Fence Repair | Free damage assessment | After the straight-line winds and ice storms that cross the Ohio Valley, we rebuild fallen sections fast. Same line, same look, stronger posts. We assess the damage and document it with photos and a written estimate to help your insurance claim. |
| Fence Post Repair & Replacement | From $450 | Louisville's clay-heavy soils swell and shrink with the seasons, and freeze-thaw cycles lift posts. Ground-line moisture finishes the job, which is why most fences here start to lean. We reset or replace posts in fresh concrete, plumb and braced, saving the rest of your fence instead of selling you a new one. |
| Gate Installation & Repair | From $475 | Custom wood, vinyl and metal gates built square and hung right. Adjustable hinges, self-latching hardware and anti-sag bracing, plus rebuilds of dragging or misaligned gates, usually the first part of any fence to fail. |
| Automatic & Driveway Gates | From $2,800 | Sliding and swing driveway gates with professional-grade openers, keypads and safety sensors. Installation and repair on all major opener brands, plus solar-powered options for acreage properties in Oldham, Bullitt and Spencer counties without trenched power. |
| Pool Fence Installation | From $34/ft | Aluminum, mesh and glass pool barriers installed to meet the pool barrier rules that apply at your address. That means the required barrier height with self-closing, self-latching gates, and we walk the requirements with you before a single post is set. |
| Fence Replacement & Removal | From $2,400 | Complete tear-out, haul-away and rebuild, or a straight removal if that is all you need. We reuse what is sound, replace what is not, and quote repair versus full replacement side by side so you decide with real numbers. |
| Fence Staining & Restoration | From $950 | Professional cleaning, brightening and stain-sealing for cedar and treated-pine fences. Done right it can double the life of the wood through Louisville's wet springs and humid summers, and we tell you when staining still makes sense and when the wood is past saving. |
| Commercial & Temporary Fencing | Free site quote | Commercial chain link, security fencing and temporary construction fence for Greater Louisville jobsites. Silt fence too, with fast installs, code-aware layouts and volume pricing for builders, general contractors and property managers. |
| Farm & Ranch Fencing | From $12/ft | Ranch rail, no-climb horse fence, field wire and pipe fencing for acreage across Greater Louisville. We cover Oldham, Bullitt, Shelby, Spencer and Nelson counties with straight lines over long runs, braced corners and gates sized for trailers and equipment. |
What Affects the Price
- Fence Material Type : Chain link is the most affordable option, while vinyl, wood, and ornamental iron increase in price based on durability and aesthetic appeal. Premium materials offer longer lifespans and lower maintenance.
- Linear Footage and Project Size : Most fence installations are priced per linear foot. Larger projects may qualify for volume pricing adjustments, while smaller repairs or shorter fence runs have different cost structures.
- Site Accessibility and Terrain : Difficult terrain, uneven ground, rocky soil, or limited access for equipment can increase labor time and installation complexity, affecting your final quote.
- Existing Fence Removal and Debris Cleanup : If replacing an old fence, removal and haul-away services add to the project cost. We handle cleanup so your property is left in perfect condition.

Pricing FAQ
Why do fence installation prices vary so much between materials?
Different materials have different durability, maintenance requirements, and lifespan. Chain link is budget-friendly but requires periodic maintenance. Vinyl costs more upfront but lasts 20+ years with minimal upkeep. Wood offers classic appeal but needs regular staining. Ornamental iron provides premium aesthetics and longevity. Your choice depends on your budget, style preferences, and long-term maintenance tolerance.
