| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood & Privacy Fence Installation | From $27/ft | Huntsville's classic 6-ft privacy fence, built for sticky red clay, heavy spring rain and Tennessee Valley humidity. Pressure-treated posts set deep in concrete, cedar or treated-pine pickets, board-on-board or side-by-side. We tell you honestly when cedar is worth it and when treated pine is the smarter budget call. |
| Vinyl & PVC Fence Installation | From $38/ft | Low-maintenance vinyl privacy, picket and ranch-rail fencing that shrugs off humidity, sprinklers and north Alabama sun. Manufacturer-backed panels, correct post spacing and concrete-set footings, with no warping shortcuts. Honest guidance on where vinyl beats wood and where it doesn't. |
| Chain Link Fence Installation | From $16/ft | Galvanized and black vinyl-coated chain link for yards, pets and commercial lots. The toughest fence per dollar in Huntsville: correct gauge, properly tensioned mesh and braced corners on red clay and rocky ground, with privacy slats or windscreen where you need them. |
| Aluminum & Ornamental Iron Fencing | From $42/ft | Powder-coated aluminum and ornamental iron fencing for pools, front yards and historic homes. Rust-resistant panels, clean welds and racked installation on the sloped lots common below Monte Sano: the premium look that actually holds up to Alabama humidity and sun. |
| Fence Repair | From $450 | Leaning sections, broken pickets, sagging gates and storm-damaged panels, repaired in every fence material. We tell you honestly when a repair will hold and when replacement is the better spend. Most repairs are completed in a single visit. |
| Storm Damage Fence Repair | Free damage assessment | After a tornado-season squall line, a straight-line wind event or a summer thunderstorm, we rebuild fallen sections fast: same line, same look, stronger posts. We assess the damage and document it with photos and a written estimate to help your insurance claim. |
| Fence Post Repair & Replacement | From $450 | Huntsville's red clay swells in wet weather and shrinks in dry spells, and rots posts at the ground line, the reason most fences lean. We reset or replace posts in fresh concrete, plumb and braced, saving the rest of your fence instead of selling you a new one. |
| Gate Installation & Repair | From $475 | Custom wood, vinyl and metal gates built square and hung right. Adjustable hinges, self-latching hardware and anti-sag bracing, plus rebuilds of gates that drag or bind as the clay shifts through wet and dry seasons, usually the first part of any fence to fail. |
| Automatic & Driveway Gates | From $2,800 | Sliding and swing driveway gates with professional-grade openers, keypads and safety sensors. Installation and repair on all major opener brands, with layouts that suit sloped driveways, plus solar-powered options for acreage properties without trenched power. |
| Pool Fence Installation | From $34/ft | Aluminum, mesh and glass pool barriers for Huntsville-area backyards, built to the pool barrier code that applies at your address. Self-closing, self-latching gates and posts set firmly in clay and rock so the latch still lines up season after season, and we walk the requirements with you before a single post is set. |
| Fence Replacement & Removal | From $2,400 | Complete tear-out, haul-away and rebuild, or a straight removal if that's all you need. We reuse what's sound, replace what isn't, and quote repair versus full replacement side by side so you decide with real numbers. |
| Fence Staining & Restoration | From $950 | Professional cleaning, brightening and stain-sealing for cedar fences. Done right it can double the life of the wood under north Alabama sun and humidity, and we tell you when staining still makes sense and when the wood is past saving. |
| Commercial & Temporary Fencing | Free site quote | Commercial chain link, security fencing, temporary construction fence and silt fence for jobsites across Huntsville and the Tennessee Valley. Fast installs, code-aware layouts and volume pricing for builders, GCs and property managers. |
| Farm & Ranch Fencing | From $12/ft | Ranch rail, no-climb horse fence, field wire and pipe fencing for acreage across north Alabama. We cover Madison, Limestone, Morgan and Marshall counties with straight lines over long runs, braced corners set in red clay and rock, and gates sized for trailers and equipment. |
What Affects the Price
- Material type and quality : Wood, vinyl, chain link, aluminum, and ornamental iron each have different material and installation costs. Higher-grade materials or custom designs can increase the price per linear foot.
- Fence height and linear footage : Taller fences and longer runs require more materials and labor. Most pricing is based on per-foot rates, so the total length directly impacts the overall cost.
- Site accessibility and terrain : Sloped, rocky, or obstructed yards may require extra labor, special equipment, or additional site preparation, which can add to the installation cost.
- Gates, automation, and special features : Adding gates, automatic openers, or decorative elements increases the project scope. For instance, automatic driveway gates start at $2,800, while basic gate installation starts at $475.
