| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood & Privacy Fence Installation | From $28/ft | The Treasure Valley standard: 6-ft western red cedar privacy built for high-desert sun and dry wind. Posts set in concrete below frost depth; hot-dip or stainless fasteners; dog-ear or board-on-board with a cap rail that slows UV greying. |
| Vinyl & PVC Fence Installation | From $39/ft | Vinyl privacy, picket and ranch rail that will not silver out under Idaho UV or need staining every few years. Heavy-wall extrusions and reinforced gate posts for valley wind coming off the Snake River plain. |
| Chain Link Fence Installation | From $16/ft | Galvanized and black vinyl-coated chain link for yards, dogs, canal-side lots and commercial ground. Still the most enclosure per dollar when the view or the irrigation flow matters more than privacy. |
| Aluminum & Ornamental Iron Fencing | From $43/ft | Powder-coated aluminum and ornamental iron for foothill lots, pools and estate frontage. Rackable over slope, rust-resistant in irrigation spray, and the only material that keeps a foothills view while still closing the lot. |
| Fence Repair | From $450 | Leaning bays, split sun-baked pickets, sagging gates and wind-damaged panels put right. We say plainly when a repair buys five more years and when the run is past saving. |
| Storm Damage Fence Repair | Free damage assessment | Valley windstorms and wet spring snow flatten fence lines every year, especially on exposed west-facing lots. We rebuild fast in matching material and document the damage properly for your claim. |
| Fence Post Repair & Replacement | From $450 | Caliche hardpan makes post holes a drilling job, and constant lawn irrigation rots posts at ground line. Posts are why most Treasure Valley fences fail first; we reset or replace them properly so the run stops moving. |
| Gate Installation & Repair | From $475 | Custom cedar, vinyl and metal gates built square and hung on hardware that holds. Dry summers and freezing nights are hard on a gate, so we use adjustable anti-sag hinges and self-latching hardware sized for the span. |
| Automatic & Driveway Gates | From $2,900 | Sliding and swing driveway gates with professional-grade openers, keypads, safety sensors and loop detection. Specified for long foothill and acreage driveways and for winter operation. |
| Pool Fence Installation | From $35/ft | Aluminum, mesh and glass pool barriers installed to Idaho and local barrier requirements. Minimum height, restricted gaps and self-closing self-latching gates, inspected once and compliant for good. |
| Fence Replacement & Removal | From $2,400 | Full tear-out, haul-away and rebuild, or a clean removal on its own. Old post concrete comes out too; leaving it in caliche ground is how the next fence ends up out of line. |
| Fence Staining & Restoration | From $950 | Cleaning, brightening and stain-sealing for cedar and pine fences across the Treasure Valley. At this elevation UV greys an unsealed fence in two summers; sealing it is the cheapest year you can add to a fence. |
| Commercial & Temporary Fencing | Free site quote | Commercial chain link, security fence, temporary construction panels and silt fence. We cover contractors across Ada and Canyon counties, with permitting help, scheduled installs and teardown to your build calendar. |
| Farm & Ranch Fencing | From $12/ft | Ranch rail, no-climb horse fence, field wire and pipe fencing for Treasure Valley acreage. We work Eagle, Star, Kuna and the Canyon County farm belt, and build for livestock pressure, irrigation crossings and equipment gates. |
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.
