| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood & Privacy Fence Installation | From $27/ft | Cedar and treated pine privacy fences are the default across Cleveland's craftsman bungalows and Cleveland doubles. We set posts below the frost line so the fence stays plumb through the freeze-thaw cycle, and choose cedar or treated pine that holds up under lake-effect snow load. |
| Vinyl & PVC Fence Installation | From $38/ft | Vinyl fencing is popular in Cleveland's inner-ring suburbs where owners want to skip repeated staining. We set posts to handle the region's freeze-thaw cycle and choose panels that stand up to lake-effect snow and ice storm impact without cracking. |
| Chain Link Fence Installation | From $16/ft | Chain link is still common across Cleveland's older city lots where budgets and narrow yards matter. We set posts past the frost line and run galvanized mesh that holds up through ice storms and repeated freeze-thaw seasons. |
| Aluminum & Ornamental Iron Fencing | From $42/ft | Aluminum and ornamental iron suit Shaker Heights and Cleveland Heights brick homes. We set posts below the frost line and choose finishes that stand up to lake-effect snow, ice storms and the humid summer thunderstorms off the lake. |
| Fence Repair | From $450 | Fence repair in Cleveland usually starts at a post that heaved out of plumb after a hard freeze-thaw winter. We reset or replace the failing section, matching wood, vinyl, chain link or aluminum to the rest of your fence line. |
| Storm Damage Fence Repair | Free damage assessment | Lake-effect snow, ice storms and summer derechos off Lake Erie all take a toll on Cleveland fence lines. We clear downed limbs, straighten or replace damaged posts and panels, and give you a written assessment for insurance. |
| Fence Post Repair & Replacement | From $450 | Fence posts across Cleveland lean when heavy lake-plain clay grips the base and freeze-thaw works it loose. We dig past the frost line, set a new post in fresh concrete, and match it to the rest of your wood, vinyl or chain link fence. |
| Gate Installation & Repair | From $475 | Gates on Cleveland fences take a beating from ice storm winds and repeated freeze-thaw shifts each winter. We reset hinge posts below the frost line and square the frame so it swings true through snow drift and ice buildup. |
| Automatic & Driveway Gates | From $2,800 | Automatic driveway gates suit the wider lots of Cleveland's Lake, Lorain and Medina county exurbs. We set posts deep enough to stay plumb through the freeze-thaw cycle and wire openers to handle heavy snow load without binding. |
| Pool Fence Installation | From $34/ft | A pool fence here has to meet the pool barrier code that applies at your address across Cleveland's East Side ravines. We set posts below the frost line, keep gaps narrow, and hang the gate to swing away from the water and latch above reach. |
| Fence Replacement & Removal | From $2,400 | Old fences across Cleveland's inner-ring suburbs often heaved out of plumb from decades of freeze-thaw cycling. We haul away the old wood, chain link or vinyl and set new posts deep enough to hold through Northeast Ohio winters. |
| Fence Staining & Restoration | From $950 | Wood privacy fences across Cleveland need restaining as humid summers and ice storms wear the finish. We clean, sand and reseal cedar or treated pine so it keeps protecting the wood through another freeze-thaw winter. |
| Commercial & Temporary Fencing | Free site quote | Commercial and temporary fencing covers job sites and events across Cleveland. We set panels that stand up to lake-effect snow load, derecho gusts and heavy foot traffic through the inner-ring suburbs and downtown. |
| Farm & Ranch Fencing | From $12/ft | Farm and ranch fencing out in Geauga and Medina county exurbs has to hold livestock through deep winter frost. We set posts below the frost line and run woven wire, high-tensile or board rail across open farm ground and rolling pasture. |
What Affects the Price
- Fence Material and Style : Different materials have different costs. Chain link is the most affordable option, while ornamental iron and automatic gates represent premium investments. Wood and vinyl privacy fences fall in the middle range.
- Linear Footage and Project Size : Most fence installation is priced per linear foot. Larger projects may qualify for volume pricing. Gate installations and replacements are typically quoted as flat rates based on complexity.
- Site Conditions and Terrain : Sloped yards, rocky soil, existing fence removal, and accessibility all affect labor time and equipment needs. We assess these factors during your free on-site evaluation.
- Repairs vs. Full Replacement : Minor repairs like post replacement or section fixes cost less than complete fence removal and reinstallation. Storm damage assessment is always free to help you understand your options.
