My time to shine. I own a company that does fences, we specialize in custom vinyl. Obviously this varies by region, but I'll price vinyl $95-130/ft, and $300 per gate. Depending on if I liked you, what I knew about the soil, travel time to your job, I'd probably come in around $5300, installed

It might sound insane, but my 4 man crew costs about $1100/day to keep on the road. 40' in bad conditions is 2 days minimum, can easily spill into 3. My materials would be around $1500, so worst case I'm netting in $500 for 3 days of work, which is damn near unsustainable considering the amount of machinery I've got in play

Get multiple quotes and compare them. The cost will depend on where you are, what the conditions are like, how many jobs are being done by the supplier, etc.

Several quotes will quickly tell you who is charging too much and who is not charging enough.

You can also go to the hardware store and source the materials yourself and put it up on the weekend. Plenty of YouTube video experts to learn from.

I don't have a number for you, but get 2-3 quotes. Labor is expensive, it's going to be your main cost here, not materials.

Basically every quote I have gotten for anything has been a much higher number than I would have liked by a good margin. Been doing more and more stuff myself as a result. If you get sticker shock at your quotes, a fence replacement is very much so in the realm of something you can do yourself.

I'm assuming you're in the US, look up the prices for vinyl fence on home Depot or Lowe's website. They have pre build items for that type of fence. I would 2-2.5x your material estimate to account for labor, markup, and misc items that are needed. Removal and haul away of a chain link depends on what it looks like now. All in I would guess $4-5k if there isn't much custom work.

I would say that if you are physically capable and have the time, fences are pretty easy to DIY with a shovel, level, and drill. there are plenty of resources online showing you how. And make sure to call your local dig safe number.

Can’t promise you much but…

You could maaaaybe look at your State’s Department of Transportation (So like TXDoT for Texas) and find their Bid Tabulations, get an average for 8’ Wooden Fence Repair or 8’ Fence Installation for this quarter, put it in a spreadsheet and multiply it by values between 1.0 and 2.0 (so 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc) and that can be your controlling range for price escalation for a private homeowner instead of a mass purchaser. It should be per linear foot.

You multiply those values by your total linear feet to get a total estimate and see if the quotes you get from installers in your area that are within that range, and where they are within it. Look up the companies that you can get quotes from and their reputation if any, and try to pick someone in the median of your range.

If your local municipal entity, city or county etc, has worked with them, that would be phenomenal but those often don’t do private homeowners for clients.

Best of luck.

R.H.

Labour and materials depends on your country and location. Do you need to pay a ~~bribe~~ permit to local government as well? Will the neighbour on the other side pay half? Does it need to be painted?

Get a few quotes, ask for references of other fences they’ve built, and compare locally.

That's a pretty small job. You may get outrageous quotes because a contractor may not want to be bothered.

Materials according to the Home Depot website: EDIT sorry just realized you said 8ft high plus a gate This will raise the materials cost a bit but you get the idea.

5 8ft long vinyl fence panels 6ft high at $109 each = $545

6 8ft high vinyl fence posts at $39 each = $234

6 fence posts caps at $4 each =$24

6 bags fast setting concrete at $7 each =$42

Total $845 in materials Guessing 8hrs labor at $30/hr =$240 I'd estimate around $1,100 or so. Adjust for sales tax and labor costs in your area.

FYI if you want to learn basic Home owner DIY skills, this is a good place to start. It's a bit of work digging the holes but it's not rocket surgery.

If it's flat, level ground, then $30 per foot for wood or hog panels. Add money if brush needs to be cut, ground leveled, or you want something like vinyl, cedar, or painted wood.
