Fence Cost Calculator
Plan your budget for a typical Nevada County residential run—150 to 300 linear feet is common in Grass Valley neighborhoods, while Penn Valley and Chicago Park ranch properties often exceed 500 feet. This tool applies educational per-foot ranges for wood ($25–$55/ft), vinyl ($35–$70/ft), and chain link ($15–$35/ft) installed, then adjusts for gates and foothill terrain. Actual quotes vary with access, rock, and finish grade.
How this tool works
- Enter total linear feet for the fence run you want installed.
- Select material, number of gates, and terrain type (flat, slope, or rocky foothill).
- Review the low–high estimate range and disclaimer before requesting a formal quote.
Assumptions & notes
- Installed pricing includes standard posts, panels or pickets, and labor for typical 6-foot residential height.
- Wood $25–$55/ft, vinyl $35–$70/ft, chain link $15–$35/ft, wrought iron $45–$90/ft, and ranch wire $12–$28/ft are Northern California ballpark ranges only.
- Each gate adds roughly $450–$950 depending on width and hardware; steep slopes and rocky dig conditions increase cost.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my quote higher than this calculator shows?
Foothill slopes, hand-digging around granite, long driveway gates, and stained cedar upgrades push real projects above simple per-foot math. This tool is a starting point, not a binding estimate.
Does vinyl cost more than wood in Grass Valley?
Vinyl often has a higher upfront installed cost but lower long-term maintenance—especially where pine needles and winter moisture affect wood. Compare both materials using the same linear footage here.
Is removal of an old fence included?
No. Demolition and haul-off are quoted separately and can add $3–$8 per linear foot depending on material and access.
