FAQs for aluminum or steel fence installation projects in Charlottesville, VA
A wood fence costs an average of $2,700 upfront while an aluminum fence costs about $4,610, making wood the less expensive option initially. That said, wood fencing demands regular upkeep to safeguard against bending, warping, rot, and pest damage, which increases long-term expenses significantly. Aluminum holds up with minimal upkeep, so it often balances out—or even beats—wood over the years.
The required fencing is determined by measuring your property’s perimeter and accounting for any obstructions or openings such as decks, driveways, and gates. Measure the overall border length and then subtract areas that do not require fencing. While you can map it out with a tape measure and some graph paper, a fencing pro can take precise measurements and confirm you’re ordering the right amount of material before installation begins.
Most metal fences last 20 to 50 years. The exact life span depends on the metal’s quality, how well the fence is installed, and how often you maintain it. Opting for premium materials and a skilled installer helps the fence shrug off weather and stay sturdy with only basic upkeep.
Electric fence repairs average about $200, but you could spend anywhere from $100 to $400. Your final bill hinges on how much damage there is, how complex the fence design is, and local labor rates. Most repairs cover both materials and labor to get the fence working—and safe—again.
