Fence or deck in the Pacific states

In the region's wildfire country, your fence is part of the fire plan. In 187 burn tests, federal NIST researchers found the fiercest flames came from two combustible fences placed back to back, as when two neighbors each build along a lot line. Fences as far as three feet apart still threw big flames, and mulch along a fence's base carried fire down its length. Their advice: don't double up, clear debris from around and between fences, and pick noncombustible materials where you can.

Questions homeowners ask

How accurate is a photo estimate?
It’s a ballpark, not a quote. A photo tells us a lot about the material and size, but a local pro who walks the yard will always be more precise. Use our number as the range to expect before you start calling around.
How is a fence priced versus a deck?
Fences are usually priced by the foot and decks by the square foot. We’ll ask one quick question to tell which you’re after, then size it from your photo and your answers.
Which materials can you estimate?
Wood, vinyl, chain-link and metal for fences; pressure-treated wood and composite for decks. Material is the single biggest price swing, so it’s worth picking the one you want.
Is this really free?
Yes. No signup, no credit card, no spam. We only make money if you choose to connect with a local pro — and that’s up to you.
What photo works best?
A wide shot of where the fence or deck will go — or of the old one you’re replacing — works best.
