| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood & Privacy Fence Installation | From $28/ft | Six-foot dog-ear cedar is the standard backyard fence from North End bungalows to new Meridian subdivisions. We set posts below the local frost line and step rail lines to match sloping foothill lots, keeping gates square as the ground shifts. |
| Vinyl & PVC Fence Installation | From $39/ft | Vinyl privacy fencing is common across the newer subdivisions spreading through Meridian, Kuna, and Nampa. We install UV-stabilized panels that hold their color under Boise's intense high-altitude sun and resist the freeze-thaw swings that heave lesser fences. |
| Chain Link Fence Installation | From $16/ft | Galvanized chain link holds up well along canal banks, ditch lines, and Bench backyards where budget and durability matter more than privacy. We set posts in concrete footings sized for Boise's clay and rocky subsoil so lines stay straight. |
| Aluminum & Ornamental Iron Fencing | From $43/ft | Aluminum and iron fencing suits the Craftsman fronts of the North End and the HOA entries of Eagle and Harris Ranch alike. Powder-coated finishes shrug off Boise's dry heat and winter freeze without rust or warping. |
| Fence Repair | From $450 | Boise's freeze-thaw cycles and dry summer wind loosen posts, split rails, and sag gates over time. We repair wood, vinyl, chain link, and iron fencing without a full rebuild, matching existing materials wherever possible. |
| Storm Damage Fence Repair | Free damage assessment | Boise's foothill wind gusts and canal-row poplars drop limbs fast, snapping dog-ear cedar panels and bending steel posts along the Bench and North End. We inspect the full run, pull out cracked pickets and leaning posts, and rebuild to match your existing fence line. Most repairs finish same day. |
| Fence Post Repair & Replacement | From $450 | Boise's rocky, clay-heavy subsoil and seasonal frost heave are the top reasons posts lean or rot at the base. We dig out failed footings, reset posts to proper frost depth, and pour new concrete so the line stands straight again. |
| Gate Installation & Repair | From $475 | Gates take the most abuse on any fence, especially where clay soil settling pulls posts out of plumb. We install and repair pedestrian and drive gates in wood, vinyl, and iron, resetting hinges and latches so they swing true again. |
| Automatic & Driveway Gates | From $2,900 | Automatic driveway gates suit the long gravel drives common on acreage lots around Kuna, Star, and Emmett. We install keypad, remote, and phone-app entry systems built to keep working through Boise's cold winters and summer dust. |
| Pool Fence Installation | From $35/ft | Backyard pools in Meridian, Eagle and Star subdivisions sit behind board-and-batten and stucco homes, and we frame each one with a mesh or picket barrier that swings the gate outward with the latch out of reach. Posts go below frost depth so the fence holds through freeze-thaw winters. |
| Fence Replacement & Removal | From $2,400 | Six-foot dog-ear cedar fences across the Bench and North End go sun-bleached silver on the south side long before the posts fail, and we tear out the whole run, haul off every picket and footing, then set new cedar or vinyl to the same line. Post holes go deep enough to survive valley frost heave. |
| Fence Staining & Restoration | From $950 | Boise's intense sun bleaches south-facing cedar silver-gray within a few seasons, and dry air pulls moisture out of the wood. We clean, brighten, and reseal with UV-rated stain to stop cracking and restore the original tone. |
| Commercial & Temporary Fencing | Free site quote | New construction along the Meridian, Nampa and Kuna growth corridors and events across the valley floor need fencing that goes up fast and comes down clean, so we deliver panel and chain link runs sized to your site, anchor them against foothill wind gusts, and pull everything at job's end. |
| Farm & Ranch Fencing | From $12/ft | Acreage around Emmett, Homedale, Marsing, and Kuna needs fencing built for livestock, not just looks. We install T-post and wire, wood rail, and vinyl rail fencing across pasture, sagebrush ground, and irrigated hay fields alike. |
What Affects the Price
- Material Type : Different materials have different costs. Chain link is the most budget-friendly option, while vinyl, wood, and ornamental iron increase in price. Your choice depends on aesthetics, durability, and maintenance preferences.
- Linear Footage and Project Size : Most fence installations are priced per linear foot. Larger projects may qualify for better rates. Gates, posts, and special features add to the total cost.
- Site Conditions and Terrain : Sloped yards, rocky soil, existing structures, and accessibility affect labor time and equipment needs. Our team assesses these during a site visit to give you an accurate quote.
- Removal and Cleanup : If you're replacing an old fence, removal and disposal add to the project cost. Storm damage repairs may include debris clearing and post replacement, which are factored into the estimate.
