DIY Fence Estimate
If you'd like to get a rough idea on your own about how much fencing you will need, follow these easy steps:
Caution!
Fencing is often priced and sold by SECTIONS, not by linear feet! Even when the linear footage is included specifically on price estimates … the total number of sections is a factor in this pricing. So, “price per linear foot” is only a rough estimate and rarely represents the actual cost of the finished fence!
This is a very interesting difference that we would love to explore and explain to you if you'd like to speak with one of our fence experts further. Be aware, “price per linear foot” is a ploy that many unprofessional fence installers in the South Jersey area use!

Every local municipality has a separate set of requirements when it comes to building permits, and that includes residential fencing. Sometimes the specific height of the fence or placement of the fence or purpose of the fence can impact the need for a permit. There are also HOA considerations in some areas.
We have installed many residential fences in just about every possible area across South Jersey so we are happy to answer these sorts of questions and/or to guide you through the process.

Fence placement is ultimately the responsibility of you, the customer. Moving a fence after it's already been installed can be costly. It's never a bad idea to get a survey to be safe. However, in many cases we are more than happy to install your fence without an official survey, especially if the property lines are clear and well-marked. While a survey is not required, it can greatly reduce the chance of dealing with the headache of moving your newly installed fence.

Fencing is one of the easiest industries to “get into” for start-up business and novice laborers. For these people, who are looking to make a few extra dollars installing fences; a shovel, a level, and a string line may be all they need.
As a result, there are many individuals and/or companies who show up in South Jersey, install residential fences for a short time, then disappear. We see it all the time. Beware! You only want to work with a fully licensed and insured fencing contractor in South Jersey.
Here are some of the main pitfalls of working with non-professionals:
The Residential Fence Warranty is Void
If the individual or company that installed your residential fence isn't still around, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless. Additionally, some manufacturers won't warranty their fence material if it was damaged during installation or installed improperly - which is very common with non-professionals.
The Fence Almost Certainly Won't Last As Long
As a professional fencing contractor, our team of installers undergoes rigorous training and constant professional supervision. We are dedicated to improving our knowledge and skills of the best fencing materials and the best fence installation techniques in order to maximize the strength and life of your fence. Companies that simply install fences as something they do "on the side" usually have no idea how much they actually don't know about residential fencing ... and what is best for you and your property.
Putting Your Property at Risk
Installing residential fence in the REGION area is actually somewhat risky. Sudden, harsh weather during the installation of a fence can blow materials - damaging your home. We've seen concrete splatter up onto cars or drip down beautiful driveways or walkways - as buckets of wet concrete are transported. Deep tire tracks sinking into your grass is another common issue. The secondary damage to homes and yards while installing fences by untrained labor is a very common thing.
Additionally, anyone hurt on your property while they are working puts you at risk! If you hire an unlicensed or uninsured contractor - you may be liable and your homeowners insurance may deny payment!
At first glance, hiring a novice to install your fence may appear to save you a few dollars, but in the long run it is almost certainly a price that you simply cannot afford to pay!
The best way to get an accurate estimate for your fence installation date is to call our team of friendly fence consultants! There are times throughout the year where that timeframe may be shorter or longer.
There are other things that can delay the start of a fencing project. If you select a specific type of material, or post options, or decorative options that need to be special ordered, that will often delay the installation of your fence. We will help you to identify, in advance, any of your choices that are known to be likely to cause these additional delays, and we will offer alternatives whenever possible.

Yes! We are a leading aluminum fencing contractor across the entire South Jersey area.
Our crews are experienced and specially trained in the latest techniques for installing aluminum fences - ensuring your fence is installed properly, will look great, function properly, and will hold up to the harsh weather typical of South Jersey.
Aluminum fencing is a popular option for homes and businesses in the South Jersey region. Aluminum fences are strong yet lightweight. Together with their durable protective coating - aluminum fences easily stand-up to the harsh weather conditions of South Jersey.
While there are other fence materials that are less expensive initially, aluminum fencing requires nearly zero maintenance. Over time aluminum fencing is actually a less expensive fencing material than many of the other alternatives in terms of time and cost saving of paints and sealers that are not required by aluminum fences.
If a maintenance-free elegant looking fence is what you want, look no further than aluminum fencing.
Aluminum fences are very durable! Don't let the light weight fool you. Aluminum is a very strong material used in airplanes, cars, and many other items that are designed to protect you. Aluminum fencing is more than strong enough and durable enough to protect your home or business - while standing strong in the face of the South Jersey weather. Typical physical abuse from falling limbs, landscapers, kids, animals, neighbors, and more are usually no problem for our professional-quality aluminum fencing.
It should be mentioned however, that some discount fencing contractors in South Jersey are known to undercut prices by using lower quality aluminum fencing - which absolutely does not hold up as well. Be careful. You get what you pay for!
Aluminum fences require very little maintenance. Aluminum is rust and corrosion resistant, naturally. In addition, our professional quality aluminum fencing has been factory treated to further prevent rust and corrosion, while resisting color fading and dull finish issues that are more common with lower quality aluminum fencing.
For this reason, an occasional mild rinse with a water hose, a gentle, non-abrasive home cleaner, and a sponge should be sufficient. Apart from that, you should not need to do anything except enjoy your beautiful aluminum fence!
Our aluminum fences are powder coated at the factory. A powder-coating added to an aluminum fence prevents corrosion and makes regular maintenance a breeze by sealing in the final color under a chemically bonded layer. It's accomplished by applying an electrostatically charged powder to the metal and baking it into a smooth coating.
If you are considering an aluminum fence for your South Jersey property, you definitely want to protect the beauty and durability of your fence with a powder coating. No stress. We ONLY sell and install powder-coated aluminum fences for both residential and commercial applications.
Yes, they do!
Our aluminum fences have impressive warranties directly from the manufacturer. Depending on the specific brand and style of aluminum fence you choose, many of them come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty - ensuring that all aluminum fencing materials and powder-coated finishes will be free from manufacturing defects for the entire duration of the warranty period. Of course we will guide you through these important details to make sure you get the best warranty available.
We also offer our comprehensive workmanship warranty for every fence we install. We take pride in our work and our craftsmanship! We earn our outstanding reputation in South Jersey - one happy customer at a time.
Yes! We are a leading chain link fencing contractor across the entire South Jersey area.
Our crews are experienced and specially trained in the latest techniques for installing chain link fences - ensuring your fence is installed properly, will look great, function properly, and will hold up to the harsh weather typical of South Jersey.
Chain link fencing is a popular option for homes and businesses in the South Jersey region. Chain link fences are strong yet lightweight. Together with their galvanized coating - chain link fences easily stand-up to the harsh weather conditions of South Jersey while also resisting rust and corrosion.
If a durable, reliable fence is what you want, look no further than chain link fencing.
Chain link fences are very durable! Chain link fencing is more than strong enough and durable enough to protect your home or business - while standing strong in the face of the South Jersey weather. Typical physical abuse from falling limbs, landscapers, kids, animals, neighbors, and more are usually no problem for our professional-quality chain link fencing.
If you choose a colored pvc coating which also beautifies the fence, the added corrosion protection will extend the life of your chain link fence for many additional years!
Chain link fences require very little maintenance. Our professional quality chain link fencing has been factory treated to prevent rust and corrosion, and can be further enhanced with protective colored vinyl coating.
We recommend clearing debris away from the bottom of the fence and maybe a quick squirt of the hose every once in a while. Chain link fencing requires almost no attention or maintenance.
PVC-coated chain link fencing (sometimes called vinyl coated chain link fencing) is that beautiful colored coating that can be added to chain link fencing. More than a simple color choice, vinyl coating your chain link fence greatly increases the rust and corrosion resistance of the fence and will greatly extend the life of your fence.
Colored vinyl coatings added to chain link fences are very popular in the South Jersey area. They are particularly popular for athletic fields, pool areas, and anywhere else where children are commonly found - due to the smooth texture. These PVC coatings are applied at the factory for maximum quality and protection.
It's fairly easy to secure your chain link fence from being able to be pushed out for a pet to escape. A tension wire can be added to the bottom of the chain link to keep it from being pushed out by children or animals. If a tension wire is not enough, a bottom rail could also be installed for an even stronger barrier.

Our crews are experienced and specially trained in the latest techniques for installing vinyl fences - ensuring your fence is installed properly, will look great, function properly, and will hold up to the harsh weather typical of South Jersey.
Vinyl fencing is a popular option for homes and businesses in the South Jersey region. Vinyl fences are strong enough to stand-up to the harsh weather conditions of South Jersey.
Vinyl fencing requires nearly zero maintenance. Over time vinyl fencing is actually a less expensive fencing material than many of the other alternatives in terms of time and cost savings of paints that wood fences require.
If a maintenance-free, clean and modern looking fence is what you want, look no further than vinyl fencing.
Vinyl lasts a long time, so you don't have to generate or consume as many new resources to replace it, and it can be recycled after you're done with it. There's no need to paint it or treat it with other chemicals. Vinyl fencing is one of the most eco-friendly alternatives available.
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), the plastic most often used to make a vinyl fence, ranks third among the world's most manufactured synthetic plastics. Beautiful fences in a number of designs may be made from it, but it also has many other applications in the building industry, including in windows, pipelines, and other items.
Vinyl fencing is one of the most eco-friendly alternatives available.
Vinyl lasts a long time, so you don't have to generate or consume as many new resources to replace it, and it can be recycled after you're done with it. Recycled vinyl fencing is often used in the next generation of new vinyl fences, making it a great option for those who are environmentally aware!
Another huge benefit to your immediate environment and to the health of your family and pets is that vinyl fencing does not require harsh cleaners, or paint, or sealers - all of which may contain harsh or even toxic chemicals.
PVC, the material used to make vinyl fences, is nonporous, therefore it does not readily accept paint. When it comes to fences, many South Jersey residents select vinyl specifically because it never needs painting or staining or sealing. Unlike wood fences, vinyl fences retain their original color and shine for the duration of their life span.
So, while vinyl fences can't be painted, there are a number of different colors and styles available to customize your fence to match your home and your personal style preferences.

Pricing on all fencing materials can fluctuate, but generally speaking, the up-front cost of wood fencing is usually lower than some other types of fencing. Keep in mind that wood fencing needs to be maintained by sealing and staining it over time, so its maintenance should be considered in the total cost of your purchase.
Your wood fence should be protected with a high-quality stain and sealer, but the decision is ultimately yours to make. Proper care and maintenance of your wood fence will absolutely extend the life of your fence for many years to come!

Important!
We encourage you to speak with one of our fence experts before focusing solely on price! There are cheaper, very poor quality wood grades that are commonly used by other fencing contractors in South Jersey to cut costs. These lower quality wood options are not only inferior, but they will absolutely not last! We don't use them.
There are also very inexperienced and unprofessional fence installers who continually cut corners in their labor and installation techniques who don't stand behind their work (regardless of what their so-called-warranty says).
Wood fences must stand up to the physical demands of the South Jersey weather, the sun, wind, changing humidity levels,and physical abuse from falling branches, landscapers, neighbors, animals, and more.
Shopping for the cheapest fence is usually not the best way to make a decision about the fence you want to protect and beautify your property.
Wood fences typically have no warranty on materials but do have a workmanship warranty.
However, there are certain options you can choose that do come with warranties, even on the materials! Speak with one of our fence experts to learn the specific details of the wood fence options that you are considering.
Ornamental steel fencing is a great option for properties of all shapes and sizes in the New Jersey area. It is a very strong material that creates a high level of security with an unmatched elegant design. If your priorities are design and strength, ornamental steel is a perfect solution for any home or business.

When you are in the market for a new fence, speak to our fence professionals who can help you get a quote for whichever types of fencing you're looking for and help you find the perfect fit for your goals and your budget.

Ornamental steel fencing needs very little maintenance over its lifetime at your New Jersey property. Being proactive is the best way to make sure your fence will last without any issues. Keeping your ornamental steel free of dents will help prevent rust, so avoid using lawn trimmers too close to your fence or planting bushes too close to your fence, which can hide problems if they arise. Other than a rinse every now and then, your ornamental steel fence should need no cleaning or repairs, and you'll also receive a manufacturer's warranty that should cover major problems for your peace of mind.
The overall strength of ornamental steel fences in New Jersey varies based on the thickness of the fence posts and pickets as well as the post depth and fence height. Steel fences are more durable than most other forms of fencing because carbon is added to the steel, which helps an ornamental steel fence survive the elements and other possible harm.
One of the best features of ornamental steel fences is that it is resistant to rust and corrosion. The engineering of the metal and the protective coating that it comes with helps to ensure a long-lasting product with very little maintenance needed and no peeling or chipping. You can have peace of mind with the manufacturer warranty that covers your fence, too.
