Frequently Asked Questions

Wilmington fence costs depend on material choice, fence length, and site conditions. Current average pricing per linear foot: wood $28–$50, chain link $17–$28, vinyl $30–$52, iron/aluminum $38–$65. Material grade significantly affects price within each category — for example, basic pine pickets start at the low end while pre-stained western red cedar commands premium pricing. Always compare quotes on an apples-to-apples basis: same materials, same post-setting method, same warranty terms.
