Residential Fence FAQs

How much will a new residential fence cost?

Prices on fences are dependent on the material you choose and the exact style you order. We provide quotes for free! Simply reach out to our team through our online form 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 fence materials available that will not last. We don’t use them. There are also very inexperienced and unprofessional fence installers who continually cut corners and don’t stand behind their work (regardless of what their so-called-warranty says).

Fences must stand up to Cape Coral Florida high winds, harsh weather, and physical abuse from animals, kids, gardeners, and neighbors. Shopping for the cheapest fence is usually not the best way to make a decision about the fence you want to protect and beautify your home and the people you care about.

How long will it take to get my fence installed?

We understand that homeowners in Cape Coral Florida want a great fence and just as importantly, they don’t want to wait forever to get it! Generally, it only takes a few days (maximum) for one of our fence experts to come out to your property and give you a detailed estimate of your entire residential fence project in most areas of Cape Coral Florida

Once you approve the estimate, we can often install residential fences in most of Cape Coral Florida within 1 to 3 weeks, but please check with our office about your specific project. There are times throughout the year when that timeframe may be shorter or it may be longer.

There are some other factors that can delay the start of a fencing project. If you selected a fencing material, style, color, or options that need to be special ordered, that could delay the installation of your fence. These materials come from various manufacturers and are beyond our control. We will help you to identify, in advance, any of your choices that are known to be likely to cause these additional delays, and we will offer alternatives whenever possible.

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 happen to know the dimensions of the area you wish to enclose, simply 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 or a barn or a shed that will serve as part of the barrier). This will give you a rough estimate as to how much fencing you will need.
  • An additional step to get greater accuracy for the amount of residential fencing you will need, is to also subtract the length of any gates you will be using. The gates are often priced much differently than the fencing is. For this reason we usually recommend to property owners who are looking to develop their own fence estimate, to list the gates separately. A standard walk gate is approx 4 feet wide and a standard single driveway gate is more like 10 feet wide.

Caution!

Fencing is often priced and sold by SECTIONS, not by linear feet! Even when the linear footage is included specifically on 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!

This is a very interesting difference that we would love to explore and explain to you if you’d like to speak with one of our fence experts further. Be aware, “price per linear foot” is a ploy that many unprofessional fence installers in the Cape Coral Florida area use!

We have excellent residential fencing solutions that have proven popular and durable with your friends and neighbors across the entire Southwest Florida region.

Here is a basic guideline that we use to help people get started making the best selection:

Do I need a permit to get a residential fence installed in Cape Coral Florida?

Yes. Most new fence installations in Cape Coral require an approved permit before construction begins. This applies to vinyl, aluminum, wood, and chain link fences.

Fence permits must be obtained by a State-Licensed Contractor. Owner-builder permits place full legal and financial responsibility on the homeowner and can create issues with inspections, insurance claims, and future resale.

Florida Fence Pros is a State-Certified General Contractor — License #CGC1532486. We professionally pull all required permits, prepare site plans, and handle HOA documentation and approvals from start to finish.

You stay protected. Your project stays compliant. And it gets done right the first time.

What time of year is best to install a residential fence in Cape Coral Florida?

There is no bad time of year to get a residential fence in Cape Coral Florida. As professional fencing contractors, we build fences across Southwest Florida 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!

Do I need a survey done before installing a fence?

Fence placement is ultimately the homeowner’s responsibility, but we don’t leave you guessing.

Before installation, our team makes every effort to locate and verify existing property pins to help ensure your fence is placed correctly. This helps prevent boundary disputes and costly adjustments after installation.

If property corners are clearly marked and visible, installation can typically proceed without issue. However, if pins cannot be located or there is any uncertainty about boundary lines, we strongly recommend obtaining a current property survey. Some municipalities may also require one.

Taking the time to verify property lines upfront protects your investment and prevents expensive corrections later.

Why does it matter if I use a professional fence contractor for my residential fence?

Fencing is one of the easiest industries to “get into” for novice laborers. For these people who are looking to make a few extra dollars installing fences, a shovel, a level, and a string line may be all they need.

As a result, there are many individuals and/or companies who show up in Cape Coral Florida, install residential fences for a short time, then disappear. We see it all the time. Beware! You only want to work with a fully licensed and insured fencing contractor in Cape Coral Florida.

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

1. The Residential Fence Warranty is Void

If the individual or company that installed your residential fence isn’t still around, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless. Additionally, some manufacturers won’t warranty their fence material if it was damaged during installation or installed improperly, which is very common with non-professionals.

2. The Fence Almost Certainly Won’t Last As Long

As a professional fencing contractor, our team of installers undergoes rigorous training and constant professional supervision. We are dedicated to improving our knowledge of the best fencing materials and skills for the best fence installation techniques in order to maximize the strength and life of your fence. Companies that simply install fences as something they do “on the side” usually have no idea how much they actually don’t know about residential fencing or what is best for you and your property.

3. Putting Your Property at Risk

Installing a residential fence in the Cape Coral Florida area is actually somewhat risky. Sudden, harsh weather during the installation of a fence can blow materials around, which can damage your home. We’ve seen concrete splatter up onto cars or drip down beautiful driveways or walkways when buckets of wet concrete are transported by novice fence contractors. Deep tire tracks sinking into your grass when unprofessional fence installers come onto your property is another common issue. The secondary damage to homes and yards while installing fences by untrained labor is a very common thing.

Additionally, anyone hurt on your property while they are working puts you at risk! If you hire an unlicensed or uninsured contractor – you may be liable and your homeowners insurance may deny payment. These issues can all be avoided by hiring a professional company like Florida Fence Pros.

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

All of our high-quality fencing is proven to last in Cape Coral Florida. So the best type of fence for you is really a matter of priorities, style, and budget. Our expert commercial fence consultants can help you make the best choice for you and your property. Whether it is privacy and security you are looking for.

Aluminum 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 aluminum fencing:

• Decorative Aluminum Fencing

For many, there is just no other fence type as elegant or decorative as black aluminum fencing to provide that perfect accent to their property or a section of the property.

• Aluminum Pool Fencing

One of the most common uses of aluminum fencing in the Cape Coral Florida area is to protect and beautify a pool area. Non-corrosive, beautiful, and easy to view beyond (allowing you to monitor the area) – aluminum fences were literally “made for pools”.

• Aluminum Perimeter Fencing

Typically used for higher priced homes and particularly beautiful settings all across Cape Coral Florida, 4 foot, 5 foot, and even 6 foot (and taller) aluminum fencing can provide a strong and beautiful secure perimeter to your property.

Chain link fencing is a popular option for homes and businesses in the Cape Coral Florida region. Chain link fences are strong yet lightweight. Together with their galvanized coating, chain link fences easily stand up to the harsh weather conditions of Cape Coral Florida while also resisting rust and corrosion.

If a durable, reliable fence is what you want, look no further than chain link fencing.

Chain link fences are very durable! Chain link fencing is more than strong enough and durable enough to protect your home or business while standing strong in the face of the Cape Coral Florida weather. Typical physical abuse from falling limbs, landscapers, kids, animals, neighbors, and more are usually no problem for our professional-quality chain link fencing.

If you choose a colored PVC coating, which also beautifies the fence, the added corrosion protection will extend the life of your chain link fence for many additional years!

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

We provide chain link fencing quotes for free! Simply reach out to our team through our online form or give us a call and our team of friendly, experienced staff will be glad to walk you through the process and plan a

Important!

We encourage you to speak with one of our fence experts before focusing solely on price! There are cheaper, very poor quality chain link brands available that are not nearly as durable, don’t have the same quality corrosion protection, and have limited (if any) warranty. We don’t use them.

There are also very inexperienced and unprofessional fence installers who continually cut corners and don’t stand behind their work (regardless of what their so-called-warranty says).

Chain link fences must stand up to the physical demands of the Cape Coral Florida weather, and physical abuse from falling branches, landscapers, neighbors, animals, and more.

Shopping for the cheapest fence is usually not the best way to make a decision about the fence you want to protect and beautify your property.

Chain link fences require very little maintenance. Our professional quality chain link fencing has been factory treated to prevent rust and corrosion, and can be further enhanced with protective colored vinyl coating.

There are many small fence companies in Cape Coral Florida who install chain link fencing. Very few of them specifically train their teams on the best installation techniques and practices for installing chain link fencing. Unfortunately, this means that your chain link is almost certainly not installed as securely as it could be, which ultimately can reduce the quality and lifespan of your fence.

Inferior installation techniques and using improper tools can also damage the chain link during installation, which may have the unfortunate impact of voiding the manufacturer’s warranty because you chose an unqualified contractor not approved by the manufacturer.

Also, be sure to choose a reliable fence company that has a strong reputation. Here are some of the most common pitfalls of using an unreliable, unlicensed, or uninsured chain link fencing contractor:

1. The Chain Link Fence Warranty is Void

If the company that installed your chain link isn’t still in business down the road, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless. Additionally, some manufacturers won’t warranty their fence material if it was damaged during installation or installed improperly, which is fairly common.

Also, be sure to choose a reliable fence company that has been around. Here are some of the most common pitfalls of using an unreliable, unlicensed, or uninsured vinyl fencing contractor:

1. The Vinyl Fence Warranty is Void

If the company that installed your vinyl fence isn’t still in business down the road, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless. Additionally, some manufacturers won’t warranty their fence material if it was damaged during installation or installed improperly, which is fairly common.

2. The Fence Almost Certainly Won’t Last As Long

As a professional fencing contractor, our team of installers undergoes rigorous training and constant professional supervision. We are dedicated to improving our knowledge and skills of the best fencing materials and the best fence installation techniques for vinyl fencing in order to maximize the strength and life of your fence. Companies that simply install fences as something they do “on the side” usually have no idea how much they actually don’t know about vinyl fencing, and especially what is best for you and your property.

3. Putting Your Property at Risk

Installing vinyl fences in the Cape Coral Florida area is actually somewhat risky. Sudden, harsh weather during the installation of a fence can blow materials, which can damage your home, business, or car. We’ve seen concrete splatter up onto cars or drip down long stretches of walkways and driveways as wet concrete or other materials are transported by novice fence installers. The secondary damage to homes, businesses, and vehicles while installing fences by poorly trained labor is a very common thing.

Additionally, anyone hurt on your property while they are working puts you at risk! If you hire an unqualified fencing contractor, you may be liable.

At first glance, hiring a “cheaper” fence company to install your vinyl fence may appear to save you a few dollars, but in the long run, it is almost certainly a price that you simply cannot afford to pay!

Wood Fence FAQs

How can I estimate how much wood fence I need for my home or business?

Make it Easy on Yourself!

Our wood fence experts will gladly come to your property and take all the measurements you need and help you design your fence! We are a full-service fence company that specializes in vinyl fence installation, so you do not need to work hard to get a great new fence to protect your home or business.

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 happen to know the dimensions of the area you wish to enclose, simply add the length of each side together. Use a tape measure. Rough estimates are fine, there is no need to be too precise, this is just a rough estimate at this point.
  • Be sure to subtract the length of any structures (like a building or a storage shed that will serve as part of the barrier). This will give you a rough estimate as to how much fencing you will need.
  • An additional step to get greater accuracy for the amount of vinyl fencing you will need is to also subtract the length of any gates you will be using. The gates are often priced much differently than the fencing is. For this reason, we usually recommend to property owners who are looking to develop their own fence estimate to list the gates separately. A standard vinyl walk gate is approx 4 feet wide and a standard vinyl drive gate can easily be 10 feet wide or more.

Caution!

Vinyl fencing is priced and sold by SECTIONS, not by linear feet! Even when the linear footage is included specifically on price estimates, the total number of vinyl fence 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 vinyl fence!

This is a very interesting difference that we would love to explore and explain to you if you’d like to speak with one of our fence experts further. Be aware, “price per linear foot” is a ploy that many unprofessional fence installers in the Cape Coral Florida area use!

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

There are many decorative styles of wood fencing, perfect for showcase areas of a property or to set off a section of your yard. Wood rail fences and wood picket fences are two of the most common decorative styles of wood fencing.

• Wood Pool Fencing

Wood fencing is a perfect choice for the perimeter of a property to provide privacy for pool areas. We generally do not recommend wood fencing directly adjacent to the pool itself due to the high moisture content in the air. This moisture can cause the fence to deteriorate more rapidly than normal.

• Wood Perimeter Fencing

Wood fencing is the staple of privacy fences. Popular across Cape Coral Florida, a 6 foot dogear wood privacy fence is quite possibly the single-most requested fence we install.

Do I need a permit to get a wood fence installed in Cape Coral Florida?

Yes. Most new fence installations in Cape Coral require an approved permit before construction begins. This applies to vinyl, aluminum, wood, and chain link fences.

Fence permits must be obtained by a State-Licensed Contractor. Owner-builder permits place full legal and financial responsibility on the homeowner and can create issues with inspections, insurance claims, and future resale.

Florida Fence Pros is a State-Certified General Contractor — License #CGC1532486. We professionally pull all required permits, prepare site plans, and handle HOA documentation and approvals from start to finish.

You stay protected. Your project stays compliant. And it gets done right the first time.

What time of year is best to install a wood fence in Cape Coral Florida?

There is no bad time of year to get a wood fence in Cape Coral Florida. As professional fencing contractors, we build fences across Cape Coral Florida 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!

Do I need a survey done before installing a wood fence?

Fence placement is ultimately the homeowner’s responsibility, but we don’t leave you guessing.

Before installation, our team makes every effort to locate and verify existing property pins to help ensure your fence is placed correctly. This helps prevent boundary disputes and costly adjustments after installation.

If property corners are clearly marked and visible, installation can typically proceed without issue. However, if pins cannot be located or there is any uncertainty about boundary lines, we strongly recommend obtaining a current property survey. Some municipalities may also require one.

Taking the time to verify property lines upfront protects your investment and prevents expensive corrections later.

Why does it matter if I use a professional fence contractor for my wood fence?

There are many small fence companies in Cape Coral Florida that install wood fencing. Very few of them specifically train their teams on the best installation techniques and practices for designing, building, and installing wood fencing. Unfortunately, this means that your wood fence is almost certainly not installed as securely as it could be – which, ultimately, can reduce the quality and lifespan of your fence.

Be sure to choose a reliable fence company that has been around. Here are some of the most common pitfalls of using an unreliable, unlicensed, or uninsured wood fencing contractor:

1. The Wood Fence Warranty is Void

If the company that installed your wood fence isn’t still in business down the road, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless. Additionally, even if you do choose the few wood fence products and options that do come with material warranties – some manufacturers won’t warranty their fence material if it was damaged during installation or installed improperly – which is fairly common.

2. The Fence Almost Certainly Won’t Last As Long

As a professional fencing contractor, our team of installers undergoes rigorous training and constant professional supervision. We are dedicated to improving our knowledge and skills of the best fencing materials and the best fence installation techniques for wood fencing in order to maximize the strength and life of your fence.
