DIY Fence Estimate
If you'd like to get a rough idea on your own about how much fencing you will need, follow these easy steps:
Caution!
Fencing is often priced and sold by SECTIONS, not by linear feet! Even when the linear footage is included specifically in price estimates, the total number of sections is a factor in this pricing. So, price per linear foot is only a rough estimate and rarely represents the actual cost of the finished fence!
If you would love to explore and explain this difference, you can speak with one of our fence experts. Be aware that price per linear foot is a ploy many unprofessional fence installers in the Kokomo Indiana area use!

Aluminum fences must stand up to the physical demands of the Kokomo Indiana weather, and physical abuse from falling branches, landscapers, neighbors, animals, and more.
Shopping for the cheapest fence is generally not the best way to choose the fence you want to protect and beautify your home and the people you care about.
Aluminum fences require very little maintenance. Aluminum is naturally rust and corrosion-resistant. In addition, our professional-quality aluminum fencing has been factory-treated, further preventing rust and corrosion while resisting color fading and dull finish issues that are more common with lower-quality aluminum fencing.
For this reason, an occasional rinse with a water hose, a gentle, non-abrasive home cleaner, and a sponge should be sufficient. Apart from that, you should not need to do anything except enjoy your beautiful aluminum fence!
Our aluminum fences are powder-coated at the factory. A powder coating added to an aluminum fence prevents corrosion and makes regular maintenance a breeze by sealing the final color under a chemically bonded layer. It's accomplished by applying an electrostatically charged powder to the metal and baking it into a smooth coating.
If you are considering an aluminum fence for your Kokomo Indiana property, you definitely want to protect the beauty and durability of your fence with a powder coating. To minimize your stress, we ONLY sell and install powder-coated aluminum fences for residential applications.

Many small fence companies in Kokomo Indiana install vinyl fencing. Very few specifically train their teams on the best installation techniques and practices for vinyl fencing. Unfortunately, this means that your vinyl fence is probably not installed as securely as it could be, which ultimately can reduce the quality and lifespan of your vinyl fence.
Using inferior installation techniques and improper tools can also damage the vinyl fence during installation, which may have the unfortunate impact of voiding the manufacturer's warranty since you chose an unqualified contractor not approved by the manufacturer.
Here are some of the main pitfalls of working with non-professionals:
The Vinyl Fence Warranty is Void
If the individual or company that installed your vinyl fence is no longer in business, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless. Additionally, some manufacturers won't warranty their fence material if it was improperly installed or damaged during installation. Both situations are common with non-professionals.
The Fence Almost Certainly Won't Last As Long
As a professional fence company, our team of installers undergoes rigorous training and constant professional supervision. Our dedication to improving our skills, knowledge of the best fencing materials, and best vinyl fence installation techniques maximizes the strength and life of your fence. Companies that install vinyl fences as something they do "on the side" usually have no idea how much they don't know about vinyl fencing or what is best for you and your property.
Your Property May be at Risk
Installing vinyl fences in the Kokomo Indiana area can be risky. Sudden, harsh weather during the fence installation can blow materials and damage your home. We've seen concrete splatter onto cars or drip down beautiful driveways or walkways as buckets of wet concrete are transported. Deep tire tracks sinking into your grass is another common issue. The secondary damage to homes and yards is common when untrained labor installs the fence.
Additionally, you are at risk if anyone gets hurt on your property while they are working. If you hire an unlicensed or uninsured contractor, you may be liable and your homeowner's insurance may deny payment!
At first glance, hiring a novice to install your vinyl fence may save you a few dollars, but in the long run, it is almost certainly a price you cannot afford to pay!
Yes! We are a leading custom wood fencing contractor across the entire Kokomo Indiana area.
Our crews are specially trained in the latest wood fence installation techniques, ensuring that your fence will look great, function properly, and hold up to the harsh weather typical of Kokomo Indiana.
Pricing on all fencing materials can fluctuate, but generally speaking, the up-front cost of wood fencing is usually lower than other types of fencing. Over time, wood fencing requires regular maintenance, including sealing, staining, or painting, so remember to consider these expenses when calculating the price of your wood fence.
Proper care and maintenance of your wood fence will extend its life for many additional years. Ultimately, the decision is yours to make, but we recommend using a high-quality stain or sealer to protect your investment.
The harsh weather conditions in Kokomo Indiana can severely impact wood fences that are not properly cared for. Speak with one of our fence experts to learn more about the specific steps you can take for your particular situation.
