Local signals that shape fencing demand and contractor availability in this market.
Fence lifespan ranges from 15 years for chain link to 50+ years for aluminum. Here's what determines how long each material actually lasts — and when repair stops making sense.
Wood fencing costs $18–$28 per linear foot installed. Vinyl costs $22–$40. Neither is universally better — the right choice depends on your climate, maintenance tolerance, and budget. Here's the honest comparison.
