Portland Area Fence Pricing

  What does a cedar fence cost today? Fences are quoted in installed linear feet. Let’s say you have 75’ linear feet of fence you want installed as your current fence is falling over, your gate sags and difficult to egress through. To answer the question on how much a new fence costs you must factor the removal fees.

  Generally speaking nowadays $10.00 a linear foot is a good ballpark figure to use in figuring this part out. So 75’ of fence and a 4’ wide gate would be roughly $790.00 to haul away. You could pay less if you have a truck and can haul it away yourself.

 In 2026/2027 a wood fence costs between $40.00 a linear foot up to several hundred dollars per linear foot installed. Price all depends on the fence style, height, material used, fence location, skill and the experience of your selected contractor you hire to install your new fence. 4.8 star or higher Yelp or Google rated licensed contractors will cost the most, unlicensed or lower rated contractors you find on Craigslist or local service guides will generally cost the least.

  Cedar is the best wood to use because it has natural oils that repel water and insects. Douglas Fir wood is way cheaper and you can buy all Douglas Fir fencing material at any lumber yard or big box store. Pressure treated wood is Douglas Fir or sometimes hemlock but never cedar. Embassy Enterprises never uses any other wood besides western red cedar. 

 Fastener stain is ugly and unbecoming on a fence. This comes from the fence installer not using stainless steel or galvanized fasteners. Nails work their way out but screws do not. Stainless steel screws are the best of the best fence fasteners and all that Embassy Enterprises uses . Of course, installing the fence yourself is the cheapest but lack of expertise, busy life schedules and physical limitations necessitate hiring a contractor to build your fence. 

  In 2026/2027 a quality basic vertical cedar fence from an “A-Game“  fence installer will cost around $75.00 per linear foot installed.
