Need to start getting bids on new fence for our home. Probably not so good timing, but hey...gotta get done.
In Mansfield, looking for thoughts, costs, timing for residential fence. Roughly 200 feet, 85 of which exists as 6 foot so only need extensions there.
8 foot, unsure of board on board or just butted. Capped at top, 2 gates.
Thanks for any leads and help.

I got mine done not to long ago, and it ran me $30 per linear foot, plus $250 per gate. They used post master metal post, three hangers, and 6ft cedar pickets. This should give you a ballpark idea of what to expect.

Ive got a short run of fence that needs redoing but everything is so high right now I decided to wait.

Times are tough right now. I would try to hold out a few months, hoping lumber drops.

Glad we had our fencing done last summer. The contractor was just starting to have issues getting 6’ and 8’ cedar fence pickets.

Mark Harris--Triple C Fencing He's in Mansfield and did our house....quite a bit cheaper than other prices quoted in this thread, and he did a great job, built us a custom gate, etc. Ours is 8' board on board, cap, metal posts on 6'. Super nice guy and has lived in Mansfield forever. PM me if you want his number.

It's not just price right now. Inventories are vey low which means quality may suffer.

HunterMatt I'll PM you his business card. Handle you are correct. Company I'm right. technically Sr is Roofing, Jr is Construction, but either way you will get a hold of Jr. OP Dave’s good people. He has done probably close to 250k for myself and family(fences, porches, remodel and add ons) and another 300k in personal referrals. He is out of Mansfield too.

Man 6’ materials are easier to come by than 8’ materials last time I checked. It’s hit and miss. If you’re comparing today’s prices to anything more than 2 or 3 months ago then there really is no comparison. I did superdutys big deck and wood literally went up $1200 on his job from one week to the next. It’s brutal. Wood futures are a little lower but nothing of significance. Let me figure out a price and I will let you know where I’m at.

Wood fences are easy. Do it yourself.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.
