Wood Fences Built the Old-Fashioned Way

A properly installed cedar fence typically lasts 20–30 years in our climate; pressure-treated pine lasts 15–20. The biggest factors are post installation and drainage — we set every post in concrete with gravel at the base so water drains away instead of rotting the post.

Cedar costs more up front but naturally resists rot and insects, stays straighter, and weathers to an attractive silver-gray. Pressure-treated pine is the budget-friendly workhorse and takes stain well once it dries out. We quote both so you can compare.

Most residential wood privacy fences fall in a mid-range price per linear foot depending on height, style, and gate count. Because we build on-site rather than using pre-fab panels, you get custom quality at a competitive price. Every quote is free and itemized.

Yes — but wait 4–8 weeks so the wood can dry, then apply a quality semi-transparent stain or water repellent. Re-coating every 2–3 years dramatically extends the life and look of the fence.

A typical 150-foot backyard privacy fence takes 2–3 days: one day to set posts, then a return trip to hang rails and pickets once the concrete cures. Larger or sloped properties may take longer — your quote includes a schedule.
