You tell us the style and approximate size of your project, and we connect you with local fence contractors who install wood in the Richmond area. You receive free quotes—often within 24 hours—and can compare materials (e.g., pressure-treated, cedar) and prices with no obligation. The contractor you choose will handle measurements, permits if needed, and installation. Most residential wood fence projects are finished in a few days.

Materials & Options

Pressure-treated pine is widely used for posts and framing; cedar is popular for panels and pickets for its looks and resistance to decay. Heights and styles (full privacy, shadowbox, picket, ranch rail) affect cost and appearance. If you’re comparing wood to other options, we also connect you with contractors who do vinyl and chain link so you can weigh pros and cons.

What Impacts Price

Wood fence cost depends on style, height, linear feet, wood type (pressure-treated vs. cedar), and gates. Labor and site conditions (slope, hard ground) also affect the total. Getting multiple quotes from Richmond-area contractors gives you a realistic range for your project.
