Is a wood fence or an aluminum fence cheaper?

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.

How much fencing do I need for my property?

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.

How long does a metal fence last?

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.

How much does an electric fence cost to repair?

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.

"I had an amazing experience with Fence Company of Columbus. I chose them initially because although their pricing was reasonable, more importantly, communication was very strong. Bryan is an enthusiastic and approachable owner and was very attentive to my needs and ideas. Fence construction was painless and very fast for such a large yard. I figured it would be a 4 day job, but they were done in 2. Demolition was very neat and tidy. Very little debris left behind from the old chain link. The crew was respectful of my property and kept my landscaping unharmed, which I appreciate very much. The fence is PERFECT. It's just absolutely perfect in every way. My only small complaint was that the gate didn't turn out super great, but I they have promised to make it right in the fall when they return to inspect and seal the wood. I will update to 5 stars across the board if that promise is kept, which I have no doubt it will be. Overall, an amazing experience with a group that did everything they promised and more at competitive rates. I can't recommend this company enough, and I absolutely love my new fence. A work, start to finish."

"★★★★★ Exceptional Retaining Wall Installation I recently hired A& D to install a retaining wall on my property, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The work quality was truly outstanding - they demonstrated an impressive level of knowledge and skill throughout the project. What really impressed me was their expertise in creating curves with the bricks. Their craftsmanship went beyond my expectations, and the finished wall looks both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The team was professional from start to finish. They showed up on time, communicated clearly throughout the process, and completed everything exactly as we had discussed. The cleanup afterward was thorough - you'd never know they had been working there. The pricing was very reasonable for the quality of work delivered. Given their professionalism, expertise, and excellent results, I would absolutely hire them again for future landscaping projects and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others."

Here at TPM FENCE & PROPOERTY MAINTENANCE we are here for all your fence,decks and property maintenance needs we are family owned and operated. we take pride and quality to be the best in are trade of work.we have a A+ rating with the BBB.. WE HAVE OVER 128 REVIEWS ON ANGI List.

"TPM is an excellent company to do business with. They built my fence on the property just after I bought it so that I had a run for my dogs. Fence and three gates are very solid and one of them is large enough for my 48” riding mower. In other words the work they do is customized to your needs. They also built my 24’X 36’ workshop and I could not be happier with it. My only regret is that I did not have TPM pour the concrete slab as they would have done that work cheaper and the quality would have been far better. TPM just recently added a 10’X24’ lean to shed for my workshop so that I can now store my tractor out of the weather. There is nothing I would not trust TPM to do for me and I would give them the highest recommendation. Really good people doing excellent work!!!"

The Fence Guy is a small, family owned business that has been in operation since 2008, and has been in the fence installation trade since 1986. ***We do NOT have sales people, YOUR ESTIMATE IS DONE BY AN INSTALLATION EXPERT. Every Time.*** The concept behind this is that you get what you want, the first time, every time. As it should be. **We NEVER TAKE A DEPOSIT ON JOBS** The simple concept behind this is we do not want your money until: (a)We have earned it, and (b) We have made the client happy with their purchase. We offer ALL styles of fence including privacy, picket, shadowbox, scalloped, convexed, split-rail, horse-fence, farm-fence, chain-link, ornamental aluminum and steel, guard-rail, barrier fence and just about any other type of containment available. We also offer REPAIR WORK on ALL styles of fences and gates. We work with Cedar and Pressure-Treated lumber and we buy from local suppliers, hand-picking your material for YOU. We offer MILITARY and SERVICE PROVIDER(Fire/Medic and Law Enforcement) discounts We offer SENIOR discounts **WE ARE CURRENTLY RUNNING APPROXIMATELY 2-3 WEEKS OUT ON RESIDENTIAL INSTALLATIONS, weather permitting.** **NOTE----- There have been reviews that have stated that we use sub-standard materials that warp. ANY lumber is susceptible to warpage, at any time. At the time of the sale, the customer is given several choices and price points accordingly. If you buy the least expensive product, you cannot expect it to perform like a top of the line product. We can and do warranty all of our workmanship/craftsmanship, but we have very little quality control over lumber beyond what we see when we purchase it. That being said, we will stand behind what we install within reason, based on the choices the customer makes at the time of the sale. Obviously, we want our customers to be happy with their purchase and their choice in us as their contractor! Keith---740-438-9135
