How we source these prices

Our 2026 per-linear-foot ranges start from national installed costs by material and height, cross-checked against real quotes homeowners across the Carolinas have shared with us, then scaled to each city by a local labor-and-materials multiplier for Chapel Hill, NC. They are modeled estimates, not quotes: a real number for your yard depends on your exact fence line, terrain, gates, and the contractor you choose — which is what our instant estimator computes from a fence you draw on a satellite map.

EstimateFence is an independent fence-cost resource. We make money by connecting homeowners with local fence contractors — we don't sell fencing ourselves, so our ranges aren't inflated to close a sale.
