Frequently Asked Questions

How much does fence installation cost in Portland?

Most wood and cedar privacy fences cost $30 to $65 per linear foot installed. Chain link usually runs $20 to $40, vinyl $40 to $75, and ornamental metal $45 to $100 per linear foot. Gates are priced separately. See our full fence installation cost guide.

How do I choose a fence contractor in Portland?

Check the contractor's Oregon CCB license, ask how deep posts are set and whether they use gravel drainage, compare written itemized bids, and look at photos of recent local fences.

What is the best fence for Portland weather?

Western red cedar on concrete-set posts is the most popular. Vinyl and metal last longest with the least upkeep. Whatever the material, good drainage at the posts matters most in our wet climate.

Do I need a permit to build a fence in Portland?

Fences up to 7 feet usually don't need a building permit in Oregon, but zoning limits apply: generally about 3½ feet in the front setback and up to 8 feet on side and rear lot lines in Portland.

Do you install gates and automatic gates?

Yes. We build walk gates and double drive gates in wood, vinyl and metal, and install automatic gate openers with keypads or remotes.

Do you replace old fences?

Yes. We remove and haul away the old fence, then install the new one, usually in the same visit.
