The estimate

We visit, measure every line and listen to what you actually want. Free, and it stays free.

02
Your clear quote

Posts, panels, gates and labor, one line, one price. Approved by you before anything starts.

Signed & guaranteed

The number lands in writing with a 2-year workmanship warranty. If it isn’t right, we make it right.

The breakdown

What moves the number.

No mystery math. Four things decide what a fence costs, and we walk every one with you before the quote lands.

Length & layoutTotal footage, plus every corner and gate. More corners and gates mean more posts and hardware, so the shape of the run matters as much as its length.
Material & heightCedar, vinyl, aluminum, steel or chain link, and how tall you go. The material sets the post size and the labor as much as the sticker.
Ground & accessWhat sits under the soil, rock, roots and old footings, and how easily we reach the line. Hand-digging and tight backyard access take longer, priced plainly.
The line as we find itSlope, drainage and hauling an old fence away. A level, clear run is quick; a graded or overgrown one is more work, and we say so up front.

Whatever the mix, you get one clear quote, in writing, before any work starts.

Recent jobs

Real work, in plain numbers.

Three jobs from the past few months, what they were, where, and how long they actually took.

Cedar privacy fence
Woodstock·3 days

140 feet of 6-foot western red cedar, dog-ear boards run tight to the line. Posts set two feet deep in concrete, rails on the level, one walk-gate hung on a steel frame.

Pool-code aluminum, gated
Laurelhurst·2 days

54-inch powder-coated aluminum around the pool, picket spacing to code. Self-closing, self-latching gate with the latch mounted high on the inside so it passes inspection first time.

Sagging gate rebuild
Sellwood·3 hours

Old cedar gate had dropped and dragged the walk. Rebuilt it on a welded steel frame with an anti-sag cable, reset the hinge post plumb, and it latches soft on its own now.

How it goes

From first call to done.

No mystery in the middle. This is the path the job actually takes, start to finish.

01
The walkthroughwithin a few days

We walk the property line with you, tape measure and spray paint in hand, marking every post and gate. You tell us what the fence is for, privacy, dogs, pool code, and we flag anything that changes the plan like slope, tree roots, or a shared line with a neighbor.

02
Quote lands in writingwithin 48 hours

You get a clear quote on paper, itemized by material, linear footage, gates, and concrete, with no line reading to be determined. The price we write is the price you pay, and it holds even if we hit hard clay or an old buried footing.

03
Locates and permits1-2 weeks out

We file the permit with the city and call 811 so the utility locates are marked before anyone digs. You do not chase paperwork, we hand you the approved permit number for your records.

04
Build weekday of the job

The crew sets posts in concrete first and lets them cure, then hangs panels and pickets to a string line so the run stays dead straight. Same foreman is on site every day, and we protect your beds and irrigation lines while we work.

05
Walk it and sign offbefore we leave

We walk the finished line together, swing every gate, and check each latch and post while you watch. You get the our workmanship on every job, all offcuts and old fence hauled off, and the ground raked clean before the truck pulls out.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Getting started
Do you charge for estimates?+
No. Written estimates for new lines, repairs, gates and commercial work are always free, we visit, measure, talk through materials and fence lines, and email you a clear, itemized quote with no obligation.
How soon can you start?+
Most estimates go out within a day, and typical projects are scheduled within one to two weeks. For urgent rebuilds, before a move, a sale or an event, just tell us the date and we'll do our best to fit you in.
What does “free estimates” mean?+
Before any work begins, we give you one clear quote to approve, prep, materials and labor included. No hourly meter, no surprise add-ons at the end. You always decide before we start.
What should I do before the crew arrives?+
Know roughly where your property pins are, we locate and confirm, and give neighbors a heads-up if the line is shared. Utility locates are on us, we call them in before any digging.
Do I need my neighbor's sign-off?+
On a shared line it is wise, and often they will share the cost. We provide a written quote you can show them, and we build from your side without trampling theirs.
Can you give a price over the phone?+
A fair range from your measurements and photos, yes. The quote lands after the free estimate, in writing, before any digging starts.
What actually happens during the estimate?+
We locate pins, check grades and drainage, talk through heights and materials at the spots that matter, and measure everything, fifteen minutes, then a plain-English quote.
Materials & the build
What materials do you install?+
Clear western red cedar, heavy-wall vinyl, powder-coated aluminum and steel, and commercial chain link, each quoted honestly for your use, not our margin.
What about my dog during the build?+
Tell us and we plan the sequence so the yard is never open overnight, temporary panels close gaps while posts cure.
Can you build on a slope?+
Yes, stepped panels for a crisp look or racked rails that follow the grade with no gaps underneath, we recommend per section, not one-size.
How long does a fence take?+
Posts one day, cure, panels and gates the next visit, most homes are done inside a week from first dig, weather willing, and you will know the plan up front.
Which material fits my yard?+
Tap through the Material Studio above, cedar, vinyl white, matte black steel, and the whole page wears each tone. Bring your favorite to the estimate.
Will you haul the old fence away?+
Same day it comes down, hauled and recycled where the material allows. The yard is raked and magnet-swept before we leave.
Weather, durability & guarantee
How deep do posts really need to go?+
Below frost line, a third of the post in the ground as a rule, set in concrete crowned to shed water. It is the single biggest difference between fences that last and fences that lean.
Why do fences lean after a few winters?+
Shallow posts, no concrete, or concrete poured flat so water pools at the wood. All three are corner-cutting, and all three are invisible on day one. We do none of them.
Do you handle permits and utility locates?+
Both. Utility locates before every dig, and where heights or corners need a permit, we pull it and meet the inspector.
Is the Care Plan worth it?+
For most homes, yes: an annual inspection, free scuff and touch-up visits, priority scheduling, and 15% off future projects typically pay for the membership the first time you use it, and keep every finish looking new.
