Get matched with top aluminum or steel fence installers in your area

The average upfront cost of a wood fence is $2,700, less than the $4,300 you’ll pay for the average aluminum fence. However, wood fencing requires frequent maintenance to protect it from bending, warping, rot, and pests, leading to long-term costs up to 40% higher than maintenance-free aluminum fencing.

How much fencing material you'll need depends on the size and shape of your property and any landscape obstructions that might complicate installation. Add exterior fence border lengths, then subtract openings for decks or gates. Contact a contractor for more accurate estimates.

Metal fences typically last between 20 and 50 years. The lifespan depends on the material, installation quality, and maintenance frequency.

The average repair cost for an electric fence is $200, but prices can range between $100 and $400. The extent of damage, fence design, and your location determine the total cost.
