Cedar privacy fences line nearly every backyard in Boise, from the North End to the Bench, and they take a real beating from the high-desert sun and caliche hardpan that turns post holes into a drilling job. Boise Fence Company has been installing, repairing, and restoring fences across 83702 and the surrounding area since 2014, and we know what it takes to build a fence that lasts in this climate.

When a fence leans, a gate drags off its hinges, or a storm brings down a run of boards, homeowners in Boise call us because we show up with the same crews, we work from an honest assessment of what can be repaired versus what needs replacement, and we handle the caliche and the UV exposure like we built the fence ourselves. We are fully insured and an AFA Member Installer with the American Fence Association.

Fence Installation and Repair in Boise

Boise's housing stock is dominated by single-family homes with tight lot lines, sloped terrain in many neighborhoods, and a lot of older cedar privacy fences that have greyed from two summers of unprotected exposure to high-desert UV. The caliche hardpan that sits under much of the city means post holes are not a dig-and-set job; they require drilling and careful handling to get posts set deep and true. Setback rules, height limits, and corner-visibility standards vary across city and county jurisdictions in the greater Boise area, and many master-planned communities have HOA architectural standards that govern material and color. We work with those rules, we coordinate with HOA review when required, and we pull the permits that your local building department calls for.

Since 2014, our crews have installed wood and vinyl privacy fences, chain link, aluminum and ornamental iron, gates, and automatic driveway gates across Boise. We repair sagging fence lines, replace rotted posts set in concrete, restore sun-damaged cedar with staining and sealing, and handle emergency storm damage assessment and repair. We work on residential, commercial, farm, and ranch properties, and we know the neighborhoods from the foothills to the valley floor.

How a Fence Job Works in Boise

You call us at (208) 297-6537 or reach out online. We schedule a free on-site visit. We walk the fence line with you, look at what's there, listen to what you want, check setback and height rules for your location, and give you an honest assessment of condition and options. If a fence is repairable, we say so. If replacement is the better spend, we explain why and give you a clear price.

Before we dig any post holes, we arrange for an Idaho 811 utility locate. That is required by law, and it protects you and us. Then our crews set to work. If the job is wood privacy fence, we may need to drill through caliche to set posts deep in concrete. If it is vinyl or chain link, we work to proper post spacing and tension. If it is a gate, we hang it plumb and square, set the hardware for smooth operation, and test it through its swing. We handle tight lot access, we work around existing structures and utilities, and we clean up as we go.

When the fence is done, we walk it with you, show you the work, and leave the site clean. If there is storm debris or old fence material to haul, we handle that. You have a fence that is built right and built to last.

Wood privacy fence in Boise runs from $28 per linear foot for basic pressure-treated pine to higher cost for premium cedar or board-on-board construction. Vinyl privacy fence starts at $39 per foot. Chain link is the budget option at $16 per foot and works well for side yards and pet areas. Aluminum and ornamental iron fencing starts at $43 per foot for decorative applications. A gate installation or repair typically runs from $475, and an automatic driveway gate system starts at $2,900. Fence repair jobs (sagging lines, rotted posts, dragging gates) begin at $450, and a full fence replacement with removal of the old run starts at $2,400. Storm damage assessment is free. The actual cost of your job depends on the linear footage, the material you choose, site access, whether posts need to be drilled through caliche, and whether old fence needs to come out first. Call us at (208) 297-6537 for a free estimate. We will give you a real number based on what we see on your property.

Why does my cedar privacy fence look grey and weathered after just a couple of years in Boise?

Cedar and pine exposed to Boise's high-desert sun and low humidity grey and dry out fast, especially if the boards are not sealed. The UV is intense, and moisture at the ground line feeds rot at the post base. We restore greyed fences with staining and sealing, and we can replace rotted posts while keeping the rest of the fence. If you want to keep your fence looking good, sealing every few years makes a real difference here.

My fence is leaning. Do I need to replace the whole thing, or can you fix it?

It depends on how far it has gone and why. If posts have shifted in the ground or concrete has failed, we can often reset or replace the bad posts and brace the fence back to plumb. If the rot has spread across multiple posts or the stringers (rails) are compromised, replacement is more cost-effective. We assess it on site and tell you which way to go. Call (208) 297-6537 and we will come look at it.

What does it cost to install a new vinyl privacy fence in Boise?

Vinyl privacy fence starts at $39 per linear foot. A typical 100-foot run would be around $3,900 before site-specific factors like caliche drilling, old fence removal, or gate openings. Exact pricing depends on post spacing, whether we are replacing an old fence or building new, and site access. Get a free estimate by calling (208) 297-6537.

Do I need a permit to install a fence in Boise?

Permit requirements vary across Boise and the surrounding jurisdictions. Some areas require a permit, others do not. Height limits, setback rules, and corner-visibility standards are set by the city or county where your property is located. If you are in a master-planned community, your HOA may have architectural standards for material, height, and color. We know the rules for different areas of Boise, and we will pull the permits your building department requires. Always check with your local building department or HOA before you start, and we can help you navigate that.

My neighbor's tree is hanging over my fence and dropping branches on it. What can I do?

Overhanging branches belong to your neighbor, and you have the right to trim them back to your property line. Do not trespass on their property to do it. If the situation is contentious, a licensed land surveyor can establish the exact property line, though that is a separate service. We work from the property line you identify and can trim or remove branches that cross into your yard. If the damage to your fence is significant, we can repair or replace the damaged section. For a clear answer on where your property line sits, you would need to consult a surveyor or your existing property survey.

Is Boise Fence Company fully insured?

Yes. We are fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. Our crews carry the insurance they need to work safely on your property, and we can help you document any storm damage to your fence for an insurance claim. Final approval of any claim is between you and your insurance company.

We document the damage to help you with your insurance claim if you have one. We do not offer to cover deductibles or absorb costs, but we price the repair work honestly and get it done.
