Frequently Asked Questions — Fence Installation in Malden, MA
How much does fence installation cost?
Wood privacy fence averages $15—$30 per linear foot installed ($3,000—$6,000 for 200 LF). Vinyl fence runs $25—$40 per LF. Aluminum/steel averages $20—$35 per LF. Chain link is the most economical at $10—$20 per LF. Costs include posts, panels, gates, and installation labor.
Do I need a permit to install a fence?
Most municipalities require a fence permit, especially for fences over 4—6 feet in height or fences in front yards. Your contractor typically handles the permit. Always check property lines with a survey before installing — placing a fence on a neighbor's property is a costly mistake.
What is the best fence material for privacy?
Wood (cedar or pressure-treated pine) is the most popular for privacy — natural look, moderately priced, and easy to customize. Vinyl is maintenance-free and lasts longer without rot or fading. Composite fencing offers the look of wood with plastic durability. All provide excellent privacy at 6 feet.
How long does fence installation take?
A standard residential fence (150—200 linear feet) typically takes 1—3 days. Post setting (concrete cure time) on the first day, panel installation the second. Very large properties or custom builds may take longer. Gates add 2—4 hours each.
How long does a wood fence last?
Pressure-treated pine lasts 15—25 years with minimal maintenance. Cedar naturally resists rot and insects, lasting 20—30 years. Both benefit from staining or sealing every 2—3 years. Vinyl fences are largely maintenance-free and last 20—30+ years.
