IdiotMachine 05/03/24 2:04:12 PM #1:	My fence needs replacing, and I called seven fence companies. Literally four of them said theyre not interested, and of the three that said theyre interested, only one actually bothered to schedule something and show up. He quoted me $8500 for 95 linear feet of wooden privacy 8ft tall fencing, and said earliest he can install is in September.

Rough material cost: 16 panels @ $60/panel + 10 posts @ $10/post + $200 in concrete + $200 in paint =~ $1500 in raw materials. Say $2000 in raw materials and one time material cost (like hardware, screws, brushes to paint). +$6500 on top of that for labor is ridiculous. --- https://i.imgur.com/XNEdLrJ.png <cite>IdiotMachine posted [p:980222226] in Bro, fence...

How practical Installing a fence isnt technically difficult, just labor intensive. Itd take two guys maybe five days to remove and put 95ft worth of fencing. 5 days * 2 people * 8 hours a day = 80 hours * $25/hr = $2000 in labor. Plus insurance, plus profit, plus various overhead, say +$3000 above material. This project should be reasonable at $5000ish, not $8500.

theAteam 05/03/24 2:56:10 PM #23:	Tried getting a fence last year for our house which was new construction. Basically all the fence companies get sucked up by new developments for all the common areas + other new construction. Got a quote June 1 and didn't start until mid-July. $10k for 280 ft of vinyl plus 20 feet of iron fencing. The neighbors did split the cost though. --- Buffalo Bills <cite>theAteam posted [p:980222469] in Bro, fence...
