| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood & Privacy Fence Installation | From $32/ft | Wood privacy fencing is the everyday choice behind Baltimore's tight rowhouse yards. We set posts past the frost line and choose lumber that holds up through humid summers and freeze-thaw winters. |
| Vinyl & PVC Fence Installation | From $44/ft | Vinyl fencing holds up well against Baltimore's humid summers and freeze-thaw winters. We anchor posts below the frost line so panels stay square across the post-war ring and newer county subdivisions. |
| Chain Link Fence Installation | From $19/ft | Chain link fencing is common through Baltimore's post-war ring and the flat subdivisions further out. We set posts below the frost line and stretch mesh tight enough to hold through nor'easter winds. |
| Aluminum & Ornamental Iron Fencing | From $48/ft | Ornamental iron and aluminum fencing suits the short front runs on Baltimore's older rowhouse blocks. We fit posts into tight clay footing space and keep a clean line along narrow Fells Point lots. |
| Fence Repair | From $475 | Fence repair in Baltimore usually means fixing what freeze-thaw winters or wet ground did to a post. We patch rails, reset posts, and match new lumber or iron to the existing run. |
| Storm Damage Fence Repair | Free damage assessment | Nor'easters and hurricane remnants push wind and saturated ground hard against Baltimore fences. We assess panels and posts after the storm and rebuild what saturated ground pulled loose. |
| Fence Post Repair & Replacement | From $475 | A leaning post in Baltimore often means a footing that never reached below the frost line. We dig out the old footing, set new concrete past thirty inches, and match the post to your existing line. |
| Gate Installation & Repair | From $495 | A gate on a Baltimore fence often sags first where clay or wet coastal soil shifts under the hinge post. We reset the hinge post below frost depth, square the frame, and adjust hardware for a clean swing. |
| Automatic & Driveway Gates | From $3,000 | Automatic driveway gates work well on the wider lots through Baltimore County and the suburbs beyond it. We set posts deep enough to carry the gate and wire openers to handle Piedmont slopes and county driveways. |
| Pool Fence Installation | From $37/ft | A pool fence in Baltimore has to meet the pool barrier code that applies at your address. We anchor posts past frost depth and size gaps and gate latch to keep young children safely out of the water. |
| Fence Replacement & Removal | From $2,600 | Fence replacement in Baltimore often starts with pulling out old posts that never cleared the frost line. We haul away the old fence, dig fresh footings, and set the replacement to hold through Baltimore's winters. |
| Fence Staining & Restoration | From $1,000 | Wood fences around Baltimore need restaining more often thanks to humid summers and wet ground line. We clean, brighten, and reseal the wood so it holds up against freeze-thaw winters and stream valley damp. |
| Commercial & Temporary Fencing | Free site quote | Commercial and temporary fencing works across Baltimore's dense rowhouse blocks and open county sites. We fence job sites and events, holding panels steady through nor'easter wind and wet ground. |
| Farm & Ranch Fencing | From $14/ft | Farm and ranch fencing suits the open ground through Baltimore, Anne Arundel, and the surrounding counties. We set posts past frost depth and run rail or wire fencing across rolling Piedmont pasture. |
What Affects the Price
- Fence Material & Style : Chain link is the most affordable option starting at $19/ft, while ornamental iron and vinyl command higher prices ($44-$48/ft). Wood privacy fencing offers a middle ground at $32/ft. Material durability and maintenance requirements affect long-term value.
- Fence Length & Linear Footage : Most residential fencing is priced per linear foot. A 100-foot fence costs significantly less per foot than a 50-foot fence due to economies of scale. Measure your property carefully before requesting a quote.
- Site Conditions & Terrain : Sloped yards, rocky soil, existing vegetation, and difficult access can increase installation time and labor costs. Our team assesses your specific site during the free estimate to give you an accurate price.
- Removal & Disposal of Old Fencing : If replacing an existing fence, removal and proper disposal add to the project cost, typically starting at $2,600 for full fence replacement. Partial repairs may be more economical if your fence is still structurally sound.

Pricing FAQ
Why do fence prices vary so much between materials?
Different materials have different lifespans, maintenance needs, and installation complexity. Chain link is budget-friendly but requires periodic maintenance. Vinyl costs more upfront but lasts 20+ years with minimal upkeep. Wood offers classic appeal but needs staining and sealing. Ornamental iron provides elegance and durability at a premium price. We'll help you choose the best value for your situation.
Do you offer free estimates, and how quickly can you schedule one?
Yes, Baltimore Fence Company provides free on-site estimates for all fence projects, including damage assessments for storm damage. Call (667) 213-5362 to schedule your appointment. We typically respond within 24 hours and can often visit within a few days.
What payment methods do you accept, and do you offer financing?
We accept all major credit cards and cash. For larger projects like automatic driveway gates or full fence replacements, we recommend discussing payment options when you receive your estimate. Many homeowners find that breaking a project into phases (like repairs now, replacement later) helps manage costs.
Are there any hidden fees I should know about?
No. Our estimates include labor, materials, and standard site cleanup. If your project requires additional work beyond the original scope (like extra post replacements or unexpected debris removal), we'll inform you before proceeding and adjust the price accordingly.
Is fence staining and restoration worth the cost?
Yes, especially for wood fences. Staining and restoration starting at $1,000 can extend your fence's life by 5-10 years and restore its appearance, often costing less than full replacement. We recommend this service every 3-5 years for optimal protection.
