| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood & Privacy Fence Installation | From $29/ft | Salt Lake City's bungalow lots often hit gravel within a foot, so we set posts below the 30-inch frost line. We build wood privacy runs that stand up to down-canyon winds and heavy bench snowpack. |
| Vinyl & PVC Fence Installation | From $40/ft | Salt Lake City's high-altitude sun greys unsealed wood fast, which is one reason vinyl holds up so well here. We install vinyl privacy and picket runs across the valley floor and up onto the benches. |
| Chain Link Fence Installation | From $17/ft | Chain link remains common through Salt Lake City's post-war ranch ring and along valley-floor lots. Posts still go below the 30-inch frost line so the fence stays plumb through winter freeze. |
| Aluminum & Ornamental Iron Fencing | From $44/ft | Salt Lake City's Victorian cottages and brick bungalows often call for ornamental iron that suits the older grid. We set posts below the frost line and finish rails to handle bench wind and winter snow load. |
| Fence Repair | From $475 | A sagging Salt Lake City fence usually means a post shifted above the 30-inch frost line. We reset posts, replace damaged sections, and match repairs to wood or vinyl already on your property. |
| Storm Damage Fence Repair | Free damage assessment | Down-canyon winds off the Wasatch can flatten long privacy runs on Salt Lake City's bench lots within a single storm. We offer a free damage assessment and rebuild fast before snow packs against the bottom rail. |
| Fence Post Repair & Replacement | From $475 | A leaning post in Salt Lake City often means the footing sat above the 30-inch frost line in valley clay. On bench lots the same lean often means the hole hit gravel too shallow to hold. |
| Gate Installation & Repair | From $500 | A gate on a Salt Lake City fence often sags first where bench gravel keeps the hinge post from settling square. We rehang the gate, tighten hardware, and true up the frame so it swings clear of snow at the base. |
| Automatic & Driveway Gates | From $2,950 | Automatic gates on Salt Lake City's bench lots face steady down-canyon wind loads. We size motors and posts to handle that wind and set footings below the frost line for lasting alignment. |
| Pool Fence Installation | From $36/ft | A Salt Lake City pool fence must meet the pool barrier code that applies at your address. We set posts below the 30-inch frost line and size gaps and gate latch height for child safety. |
| Fence Replacement & Removal | From $2,550 | Many older Salt Lake City fences were never set below the 30-inch frost line, so posts heave and lean over time. We remove the old line and set the new one on footings sized for bench gravel or valley clay. |
| Fence Staining & Restoration | From $995 | Salt Lake City's high-altitude UV greys unsealed wood fast, and winter inversion keeps it damp at the base. We clean, brighten, and reseal wood fences so they hold color through another bench winter. |
| Commercial & Temporary Fencing | Free site quote | Salt Lake City's subdivision growth keeps steady demand for temporary site fencing. We supply panel fencing for job sites on the valley floor or up on the benches. |
| Farm & Ranch Fencing | From $13/ft | Farm and ranch fencing across Cache and Summit counties often runs over valley clay. We set posts past that clay and below frost depth so lines stay tight through heavy snow. |
What Affects the Price
- Material Type : Chain link is the most budget-friendly option, while ornamental iron and automatic gates represent a premium investment. Wood, vinyl, and aluminum each offer different durability and aesthetic benefits that affect overall cost.
- Fence Length and Height : Prices are typically quoted per linear foot. Longer fences and taller heights require more materials and labor, directly impacting your total project cost.
- Site Conditions and Terrain : Sloped ground, rocky soil, existing vegetation, and accessibility challenges require additional labor and equipment, which may increase your estimate beyond the base per-foot pricing.
- Existing Fence Removal or Replacement : If you're replacing an old fence or removing debris, this adds to the project scope. Removal and disposal services ensure your property is clean and ready for installation.
