## Estimate your fence

## How the estimate works

The range is the length you enter times our typical installed range per linear foot, materials and labor together, at normal access in workable ground. Removing an old fence adds its own per-foot range. Nothing else changes the dollar figures.

Salt air, sand, height, slope and access each add a note saying whether they push the job toward the high or the low end. We price those at the site visit, so the calculator doesn't guess a percentage.

| Fence type | Per linear foot, installed |
| --- | --- |
| Wood privacy, 6 ft, redwood or cedar | $30 to $70 |
| Vinyl privacy, 6 ft | $35 to $75 and up |
| Aluminum, tubular steel or iron | $35 to $100 |
| Chain link, 4 to 6 ft | $18 to $38 |
| Old fence removal and haul-away | $3 to $8 |

## Gates, permits and wages

- **Gates.** We price each gate on its own. Width, frame, hardware, posts and any opener set the price, so gates are separate lines.
- **City of Oxnard.** We confirm heights and permit needs for your address. Beach lots in the coastal zone can also need coastal review.
- **Unincorporated Ventura County.** 3 ft solid or 5 ft see-through in a front setback, 7 ft elsewhere; a planning permit over 7 ft. See the [rules guide](https://ranchooxnardfence.com/guide/oxnard-fence-rules-permits/).
- **Local labor.** Fence erectors in the Oxnard-Thousand Oaks-Ventura metro earn a mean $27.70 an hour, about 14% above the $24.29 national mean ([BLS](https://www.bls.gov/oes/)). A wage is not a billing rate, but it explains part of why local ranges run higher.

## What the range leaves out

- Gates, priced by their own scope
- Any permit or coastal review, and plan sheets if asked for
- Staining or painting a new wood fence
- A property survey when the line is in doubt
- Sprinkler, planting or concrete repair along the line
- Upgraded stainless hardware beyond the standard near the beach
