Fences must stand up to Southern New Hampshire high winds, harsh weather, and physical abuse from animals, kids, gardeners, and neighbors. Shopping for the cheapest fence is generally not the best way to choose the fence you want to protect and beautify your home and the people you care about.

DIY Fence Estimate

If you'd like to get a rough idea on your own about how much fencing you will need, follow these easy steps:

  • If you know the dimensions of the area you wish to enclose, add the length of each side together. Use a tape measure. Rough estimates are fine; there is no need to be too precise.
  • Be sure to subtract the length of any structures, like a house, a barn, or a shed, that will serve as part of the barrier. This will give you a rough estimate of how much fencing you need.
  • For even greater accuracy, subtract the length of any gates you will be using. Often, gates are priced much differently than fencing. For this reason, we recommend that property owners looking to develop their fence estimate list the gates separately. A standard walk gate is approximately 4 feet wide, and a standard single driveway gate is closer to 10 feet wide.

Caution!

Fencing is often priced and sold by SECTIONS, not by linear feet! Even when the linear footage is included specifically in price estimates, the total number of sections is a factor in this pricing. So, price per linear foot is only a rough estimate and rarely represents the actual cost of the finished fence!

If you would love to explore and explain this difference, you can speak with one of our fence experts. Be aware that price per linear foot is a ploy many unprofessional fence installers in the Southern New Hampshire area use!

Aluminum Fence FAQs

Yes! We are a leading aluminum fencing contractor across the entire Southern New Hampshire area.

Our crews are specially trained in the latest aluminum fence installation techniques, ensuring that your fence will look great, function properly, and hold up to the harsh weather typical of Southern New Hampshire.

Aluminum fencing is a popular option for homes and businesses in the Southern New Hampshire region. Aluminum fences are strong yet lightweight; with their durable protective coating, aluminum fences easily stand up to the harsh weather conditions of Southern New Hampshire.

Other fence materials are less expensive initially, but aluminum fencing requires nearly zero maintenance. Over time, aluminum fencing is a less expensive fencing material, saving time and money when compared to many other alternatives because aluminum fences do not need to be painted or sealed.

If a maintenance-free elegant fence is what you want, look no further than aluminum fencing.

Aluminum fences are very durable! Don't let the light weight fool you. Aluminum is a very strong material used in airplanes, cars, and many other items that are designed to protect you. Aluminum fencing is more than strong enough and durable enough to protect your home or business while standing strong in the face of the Southern New Hampshire weather. Typical physical abuse from falling limbs, landscapers, kids, animals, neighbors, and more is usually no problem for our professional-quality aluminum fencing.

It should be mentioned, however, that some discount fencing contractors in Southern New Hampshire are known to undercut prices by using lower-quality aluminum fencing, which absolutely does not hold up well. Be careful. You get what you pay for!

Prices on aluminum fences are highly dependent on the amount of fencing you need as well as the exact style, height, and options you select.

We provide aluminum fencing quotes for free! E-mail us or give us a call and our team of friendly, experienced staff will be glad to walk you through the process and plan a consultation.

Important!

We encourage you to speak with one of our fence experts before focusing solely on price! There are cheaper, very poor quality aluminum fence brands available that are not nearly as durable, will fade, will bend, and have limited, if any, warranty. We don't use them.

Aluminum fences must stand up to the physical demands of the Southern New Hampshire weather, and physical abuse from falling branches, landscapers, neighbors, animals, and more.

Shopping for the cheapest fence is generally not the best way to choose the fence you want to protect and beautify your home and the people you care about.

Aluminum fences require very little maintenance. Aluminum is naturally rust and corrosion-resistant. In addition, our professional-quality aluminum fencing has been factory-treated, further preventing rust and corrosion while resisting color fading and dull finish issues that are more common with lower-quality aluminum fencing.

For this reason, an occasional rinse with a water hose, a gentle, non-abrasive home cleaner, and a sponge should be sufficient. Apart from that, you should not need to do anything except enjoy your beautiful aluminum fence!

Wood fencing is unique in its ability to be utilized for such a wide array of applications. Listed below are some of the most popular applications of wood fencing:

  • Decorative Wood Fencing
    Many decorative styles of wood fencing are perfect for showcasing areas of a property or sectioning off a portion of your yard. Wood rail fences and wood picket fences are two of the most common decorative styles of wood fencing.
  • Wood Privacy Fencing
    Wood fencing is an excellent option when you are looking for a privacy fence. Available in many styles, easily customizable, and able to be painted or stained in a variety of colors, it is a versatile, attractive option suitable for both residential and commercial properties.
  • Wood Perimeter Fencing
    Wood fencing is the staple of privacy fences. Popular across Southern New Hampshire, a 6-foot dogear wood privacy fence is likely the single-most requested fence we install.

Every local municipality has a separate set of requirements when it comes to building permits, and that includes wood fencing. Sometimes, the specific height of the fence, placement of the fence, or purpose of the fence can impact the need for a permit. There are also HOA considerations in some areas.

We have installed many wood fences in almost every possible area across Southern New Hampshire so we are happy to answer these questions and guide you through the process.

The best way to get specific answers quickly and accurately is to call your town building code office.

There is no bad time of year to get an wood fence in Southern New Hampshire. As professional fencing contractors, we build wood fences across Southern New Hampshire all year!

There are certain times during the year when our installation schedule is busier, but our fence team always does its best to get you the fence you need right when you need it. Reach out today to find out what our current schedule looks like. We always have room for one more fence!

Fence placement is ultimately the responsibility of you, the customer. Moving a fence after installation can be costly, so getting a survey to be safe is never a bad idea. In many cases, the property lines are clear and well-marked and installing your fence can be done without an official survey. However, some municipalities do require it, so be sure to check!

Many small fence companies in Southern New Hampshire install wood fencing. Very few specifically train their teams on the best installation techniques and practices for wood fencing. Unfortunately, this means that your wood fence is probably not installed as securely as it could be, which ultimately can reduce the quality and lifespan of your wood fence.

Using inferior installation techniques and improper tools can also damage the wood fence during installation, which may have the unfortunate impact of voiding the manufacturer's warranty since you chose an unqualified contractor not approved by the manufacturer.

Here are some of the main pitfalls of working with non-professionals:

  1. The Wood Fence Warranty is Void
    If the individual or company that installed your wood fence is no longer in business, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless.

  2. The Fence Almost Certainly Won't Last As Long
    As a professional fence company, our team of installers undergoes rigorous training and constant professional supervision. Our dedication to improving our skills, knowledge of the best fencing materials, and best wood fence installation techniques maximizes the strength and life of your fence. Companies that install wood fences as something they do "on the side" usually have no idea how much they don't know about wood fencing or what is best for you and your property.

  3. Your Property May be at Risk
    Installing wood fences in the Southern New Hampshire area can be risky. Sudden, harsh weather during the fence installation can blow materials and damage your home. We've seen concrete splatter onto cars or drip down beautiful driveways or walkways as buckets of wet concrete are transported. Deep tire tracks sinking into your grass is another common issue. The secondary damage to homes and yards is common when untrained labor installs the fence.

    Additionally, you are at risk if anyone gets hurt on your property while they are working. If you hire an unlicensed or uninsured contractor, you may be liable and your homeowner's insurance may deny payment!

At first glance, hiring a novice to install your wood fence may save you a few dollars, but in the long run, it is almost certainly a price you cannot afford to pay!

Ornamental Iron Fence FAQs

With their durability and long-lasting design, ornamental metal fences are a great choice for many residential and commercial properties across the New Hampshire area and beyond. The variety of styles, colors, and decorative options make ornamental metal a versatile option that can accommodate many fencing requirements.

One of the most appealing aspects of ornamental metal fences is their resistance to rust and corrosion. The metal's engineering and the protective coating it comes with help assure a long-lasting product with minimal maintenance and no peeling or chipping. You can also have peace of mind thanks to the manufacturer's warranty, which protects your fence.

Another great benefit to using ornamental metal is that it is recyclable and can be put to use for something else. You will likely never need to replace your ornamental metal fence and they can last for decades. The material is easily recyclable and reusable and can be easily melted down and repurposed. So, the chance that your metal fence will end up in a landfill is very low.

Ornamental metal fences hold up well to all weather types, including rain and snow. Plus, it is pest-resistant. You won't need to worry about termites or other insects gnawing on its parts. They also won't warp or fade due to water or excessive sun exposure.

It is not surprising that metalwork from the past has endured for so long given the sturdy, resilient metal it is made from. The durability of your ornamental metal fence is affected by a number of variables, including the climate, maintenance, and protective coating, but despite these, you can be confident that your fence will last for a very long time.

Ornamental metal fencing needs very little maintenance over its lifetime at your New Hampshire property. For the most part, all you need is water and a cleaning liquid to keep your fences in pristine condition. Being proactive is the best way to make sure your fence will last without any issues by not planting bushes too close to your fence and avoiding damaging your fence with lawn tools. Other than a rinse every now and then, your ornamental metal fence should need no major cleaning or repairs, and you'll also receive a manufacturer's warranty that should cover major problems for your peace of mind.
