Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much does fence installation cost in Washington State?

    Fence pricing in Washington State typically ranges from $25 to $80+ per linear foot depending on the material, terrain, and project size. Chain link fences are generally the most affordable, while wood privacy and ornamental fencing cost more. We provide free, on-site estimates to give you an exact price based on your property and goals.

  • How long does it take to install a fence?

    Most residential fence installations can be completed within 2-3 days depending on property size, ground terrain and weather conditions.

  • Do I need a permit to build a new fence?

    Most residential fences in Ferndale up to 7 feet tall don’t need a building permit, but they must meet city height rules. Side and rear yard fences can reach 7 feet, while fences within 20 feet of the front property line should be open-style and no taller than 4.5 feet. Near driveways, corners, and intersections, solid fencing is limited to 2.5 feet to keep sight lines clear. We’ll review your layout and confirm requirements with the city before installation.

  • Do you handle demolition and haul-away?

    Yes, we handle full demo and haul-away for existing fences. Most of our projects include removing and disposing of old fencing before installation begins.

  • How do I choose the right fence for my property?

    The best fence depends on your goals and your property. Whether you want more privacy, better security, improved curb appeal, or a safe place for children and pets, we'll help you compare styles and materials to find the right solution for your home and budget.

  • What fence styles are popular in this area?

    Cedar privacy fencing is a popular choice for Ferndale backyards, and the city allows side and rear fences up to 7 feet for extra screening. Cedar handles the area’s damp winters well, and we set posts for solid footing and drainage in wet or low-lying ground. On corner lots, we plan the layout to keep sight lines clear while still giving you a private yard.
