| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood & Privacy Fence Installation | From $27/ft | Albuquerque's classic 6-ft cedar privacy fence, built for high desert sun. Pressure-treated posts set in concrete, cedar or treated-pine pickets, board-on-board or side-by-side. 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 humidity, sprinklers and Texas 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 Albuquerque: correct gauge, properly tensioned mesh and braced corners, 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 estates. Rust-resistant panels, clean welds and racked installation on sloped lots: the premium look that actually holds up to high-desert sun and wind. |
| Fence Repair | From $450 | Leaning sections, broken pickets, sagging gates and wind-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 a hurricane, derecho or spring storm 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 | Albuquerque's caliche and sandy soil shift with freeze-thaw cycles and undermine posts, 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 dragging or misaligned gates, 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, plus solar-powered options for acreage properties without trenched power. |
| Pool Fence Installation | From $34/ft | Aluminum, mesh and glass pool barriers installed to meet Texas and local pool fence codes. That means 48-inch minimum height with self-closing, self-latching gates, 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 fences. Done right it can double the life of the wood under Albuquerque's intense high-desert 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 Greater Albuquerque jobsites. 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 pipe fencing for acreage across Greater Albuquerque. We cover Bernalillo, Sandoval, Valencia and Torrance counties with straight lines over long runs, braced corners and gates sized for trailers and equipment. |
What Affects the Price
- Material Type : Different materials have different costs. Chain link is our most affordable option starting at $16/ft, while ornamental iron and vinyl offer premium aesthetics at higher price points ($38-$42/ft). Wood privacy fencing offers a middle ground at $27/ft.
- Fence Length and Linear Footage : Most installation pricing is calculated per linear foot. A longer fence requires more materials and labor, but longer projects often have better per-foot pricing than smaller jobs.
- Site Conditions and Terrain : Albuquerque's varied terrain, soil composition, and existing landscape features affect installation difficulty. Sloped ground, rocky soil, or obstacles like trees and utilities may impact your final cost.
- Existing Fence Removal and Cleanup : If you're replacing an old fence, removal and debris hauling are additional services. Our fence replacement packages starting at $2,400 typically include removal, but standalone removal quotes vary by project size.
