| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood & Privacy Fence Installation | From $27/ft | Winston-Salem's classic 6-ft privacy fence, built for red Piedmont clay and sloping lots. Pressure-treated posts set in concrete, cedar or treated-pine pickets, board-on-board or side-by-side, racked to follow the grade. We tell you honestly when cedar is worth it and when treated pine is the smarter budget call. |
| Vinyl & PVC Fence Installation | From $38/ft | Low-maintenance vinyl privacy, picket and ranch-rail fencing that shrugs off Piedmont humidity, mildew and summer sun. Manufacturer-backed panels, correct post spacing and concrete-set footings, with no warping shortcuts. Honest guidance on where vinyl beats wood and where it doesn't. |
| Chain Link Fence Installation | From $16/ft | Galvanized and black vinyl-coated chain link for yards, pets and commercial lots. The toughest fence per dollar in Winston-Salem: correct gauge, properly tensioned mesh and braced corners that hold on hillside lots, with privacy slats or windscreen where you need them. |
| Aluminum & Ornamental Iron Fencing | From $42/ft | Powder-coated aluminum and ornamental iron fencing for pools, front yards and historic homes. Rust-resistant panels, clean welds and racked installation on sloped Piedmont lots: the premium look that actually holds up to humid summers and winter ice. |
| Fence Repair | From $450 | Leaning sections, broken pickets, sagging gates and limb-damaged panels, repaired in every fence material. We tell you honestly when a repair will hold and when replacement is the better spend. Most repairs are completed in a single visit. |
| Storm Damage Fence Repair | Free damage assessment | After an ice storm, a summer downburst or the remnants of a hurricane, we rebuild fallen sections fast: same line, same look, stronger posts. We assess the damage and document it with photos and a written estimate to help your insurance claim. |
| Fence Post Repair & Replacement | From $450 | Winston-Salem's dense red clay holds water after every storm and rots posts at the ground line, while slope erosion undermines footings, the reason most fences lean. We reset or replace posts in fresh concrete, plumb and braced, saving the rest of your fence instead of selling you a new one. |
| Gate Installation & Repair | From $475 | Custom wood, vinyl and metal gates built square and hung right. Adjustable hinges, self-latching hardware and anti-sag bracing, plus rebuilds of gates that drag or bind on sloping walks, usually the first part of any fence to fail. |
| Automatic & Driveway Gates | From $2,800 | Sliding and swing driveway gates with professional-grade openers, keypads and safety sensors. Installation and repair on all major opener brands, with layouts that handle sloped driveways, plus solar-powered options for wooded acreage without trenched power. |
| Pool Fence Installation | From $34/ft | Aluminum, mesh and glass pool barriers for Winston-Salem-area backyards, built to the pool barrier code that applies at your address. Self-closing, self-latching gates, posts set firm in red clay and runs racked to the slope so no gap opens underneath, and we walk the requirements with you before a single post is set. |
| Fence Replacement & Removal | From $2,400 | Complete tear-out, haul-away and rebuild, or a straight removal if that's all you need. We reuse what's sound, replace what isn't, and quote repair versus full replacement side by side so you decide with real numbers. |
| Fence Staining & Restoration | From $950 | Professional cleaning, brightening and stain-sealing for cedar and pine fences. Done right it can double the life of the wood through Piedmont humidity, mildew and summer sun, and we tell you when staining still makes sense and when the wood is past saving. |
| Commercial & Temporary Fencing | Free site quote | Commercial chain link, security fencing, temporary construction fence and silt fence for jobsites across Winston-Salem and the Piedmont Triad. Fast installs, code-aware layouts and volume pricing for builders, GCs and property managers. |
| Farm & Ranch Fencing | From $12/ft | Ranch rail, no-climb horse fence, field wire and board fencing for acreage around Winston-Salem. We cover Forsyth, Davie, Yadkin and Stokes counties with straight lines over rolling ground, braced corners set firm in clay and gates sized for trailers and equipment. |
What Affects the Price
- Fence Material & Style : Premium materials like vinyl and ornamental iron cost more per foot than chain link or wood, but offer different durability and aesthetic benefits. Your choice directly impacts the overall project cost.
- Fence Length & Height : Most fence installations are priced per linear foot. Taller fences and longer runs require more materials and labor, which increases your total investment.
- Ground Conditions & Site Access : Rocky soil, steep terrain, or difficult access in your Winston-Salem yard may require additional equipment or labor, affecting the final price. A site visit helps us assess these factors accurately.
- Existing Fence Removal & Cleanup : If you're replacing an old fence, removal and debris hauling add to the project cost. We provide transparent estimates that include or exclude removal based on your needs.
