"The process was very smooth beginning to end. I enjoyed working with Eddie, and the team he designated to do the job. Only disappointed a bit in the end when Eddie asked for additional $$ when a bit more work was needed. In my opinion this should have been absorbed into the price agreed on. Referred Atwood Builders to a friend of our family - Eddie was punctual and attentive - bid the job and completed the work. They too are pleased with the company. Would recommend and rehire again. Thank you."

Most pros need about two days to install a standard chain-link fence—one day to set the posts in concrete and another to stretch and tie the mesh. Larger footprints, complex layouts, or rocky soil can tack on extra hours. If your fence line tops 150 feet, ask the contractor for a tailored timeline so you know exactly when the yard will be secure.
A well-maintained chain-link fence typically lasts 15 to 20 years. Upgrading to galvanized, powder-coated, or vinyl-coated wire can push that life span closer to 30 years by warding off rust and sun damage. Plan to inspect the mesh and hardware each season; tightening loose ties early prevents sagging that leads to bigger repairs. Because fixes run $300 to $800—and sometimes more than $1,500—a few minutes of yearly maintenance is the cheapest insurance you can buy.
Yes—chain-link almost always beats wood on price. While wood runs $20 to $50 per linear foot, chain-link falls between $8 and $40. The final gap depends on your fence height, local labor rates, and any extras like decorative caps or privacy slats. If budget is your top concern, a galvanized chain-link fence delivers solid security for far less cash than cedar or pine panels.
Temporary chain-link panels average about $2 per linear foot per month, but location, fence length, and rental duration all affect the quote. Short-term leases usually include delivery, setup, and teardown fees, so ask for an all-in price before you sign. If you need the fence for several months, negotiate a lower monthly rate or look into buying used panels instead.
A standard chain-link fence won’t drag down your home’s value, but it won’t add much either. Curb-appeal upgrades—think powder-coat colors or wood posts—can make the fence look more polished and buyer-friendly. More important, a sturdy, well-installed fence signals clear property lines and adds a layer of security, both of which buyers appreciate. In other words, quality installation matters more than the material alone when it comes to resale impressions.
