Why do I need a visit instead of just getting a number now?

A real price depends on your exact space, materials, and access, things no phone call can measure. Your free in-home visit is how we get you an accurate number instead of a guess, with zero obligation to buy.

How much does it cost to install a fence?

Fencing costs vary widely by material: chain link runs **$8 to $20 per linear foot** installed, wood privacy fencing runs $20 to $45 per linear foot, and vinyl or aluminum fencing typically runs $25 to $50 per linear foot. For an average 150 to 200 foot backyard, most homeowners spend $3,000 to $10,000 total, and Neu Home Services offers financing options.

Do I need a permit to install a fence?

Most municipalities require a permit for a new fence, especially once it exceeds a certain height, commonly **6 feet in backyards and 4 feet in front yards**, and many also require a survey confirming the fence sits on your property line. A licensed local contractor typically handles the permit application and can help navigate any HOA approval requirements as well.

How close to the property line can I build a fence?

Setback requirements vary by municipality, but many jurisdictions allow a fence directly on the property line as long as it doesn't encroach onto a neighbor's land, while others require a **setback of a foot or more**. Getting a professional property survey before installation is the best way to avoid a costly dispute or having to move the fence later.

Which fence material lasts the longest?

Vinyl and aluminum fencing typically last **25 to 40 years** with minimal upkeep since they resist rot, rust, and insect damage, while a well maintained wood fence usually lasts 15 to 20 years and chain link can last 20 or more years but tends to look dated sooner. Wood requires the most ongoing care to reach its full lifespan, including regular staining or sealing.

How long does it take to install a fence?

A typical residential fence installation takes **1 to 3 days** depending on the length of the fence line, the material, and how much digging and post setting is required, since concrete post footings need time to cure before panels are attached. Fences on sloped or rocky terrain, or those requiring a permit and inspection, can take longer.
