Material Quality
Grade of cedar, post size, and hardware quality significantly impact total cost.

Gates & Features

Beware of Low-Ball Quotes
If a quote comes in under $42 per linear foot for a 6-foot privacy fence, proceed with caution. We can almost guarantee they're cutting corners with lower-quality materials that simply don't last.
Common cost-cutting measures include:
- Using lower-grade lumber prone to warping and splitting
- Smaller, inadequate fence posts (4x4" instead of proper sizing)
- Galvanized screws that rust quickly in Seattle's wet climate
- Shallow post holes leading to fence failure
- No proper drainage or concrete footings
It's always better to invest in the correct fence company the first time, even if that means exploring financing options.
What Makes Our 6-Foot Fences Stand Apart
We pride ourselves on never compromising on quality. Even our minimum standard includes:
Grade 1 Cedar
Premium cedar boards that resist rot, insects, and weathering naturally. Beautiful grain patterns that age gracefully.
Premium Posts
4.125" x 4.125" x 9' fence posts - oversized for maximum strength and longevity. Most competitors use smaller posts.
Premium Fasteners
Exterior-rated screws with stainless steel fasteners for fence boards - no rust, no stains, no premature failure in Seattle's wet climate.
Engineered Installation
Proper post spacing, concrete footings, and installation techniques ensure your fence stands the test of time.

*Prices include materials, labor, and basic installation. Additional costs may apply for gates, difficult terrain, or premium upgrades.
What Other Companies Charge Extra For (But We Don't)
No Hidden Fees or Surprise Charges
Unlike many competitors, we do NOT charge extra for:
- • Rocky soil conditions
- • Working around utility lines
- • Basic permitting assistance
Our quoted price includes handling these common site conditions that are part of professional fence installation.
Factors That May Increase Costs
- Steep Slopes: While some contractors need to step their panels due to difficulty building to steep contours, our Fence Genius technology perfectly solves how to build form-fitting panels offsite for perfect installation. However, steep terrain requires shorter panels and more materials, increasing both material and labor costs by 15-30%.
- Gates: Standard gates add $300-600, while custom or double gates can cost $800-1,200.
- Premium Upgrades: Custom designs, decorative elements, or specialty hardware will increase the total project cost.
