How we source these prices

Our 2026 per-linear-foot ranges start from national installed costs by material and height, then adjust for the local cost of construction labour for Charlotte, NC using Census wage data — applied to the share of a fence price that actually moves with wages, not the whole of it. 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. See the full methodology, with sources →
