| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood & Privacy Fence Installation | From $27/ft | Cedar and treated pine privacy fence built to stand straight through an Indiana freeze-thaw winter. Posts set in concrete below the frost line, board-on-board or side-by-side, crowned to shed snowmelt. We tell you honestly when cedar earns its price here and when treated pine is the smarter call. |
| Vinyl & PVC Fence Installation | From $38/ft | Low-maintenance vinyl privacy, picket and ranch-rail fencing that shrugs off road salt and humid Indiana summers. Manufacturer-backed panels, correct post spacing and footings poured deep enough for freeze-thaw ground movement. Honest guidance on where vinyl beats wood in this climate and where it does not. |
| Chain Link Fence Installation | From $16/ft | Galvanized and black vinyl-coated chain link for yards, dogs and commercial lots. The toughest fence per dollar in Indianapolis: correct gauge, properly tensioned mesh and braced corners, with privacy slats or windscreen added where you actually need them. |
| Aluminum & Ornamental Iron Fencing | From $42/ft | Powder-coated aluminum and ornamental iron fencing for pools, front yards and larger properties. Rust-resistant panels, clean welds and racked installation that follows a sloped lot without stair-stepping. The premium look, specified to survive salted winter streets and humid Midwest summers. |
| Fence Repair | From $450 | Leaning sections, broken pickets, sagging gates and wind-damaged panels, repaired in every fence material. We say plainly when a repair will hold through another Indiana winter and when replacement is the better spend. Most repairs are finished in a single visit. |
| Storm Damage Fence Repair | Free damage assessment | After a derecho or a spring thunderstorm we rebuild fallen runs fast: same line, same look, stronger posts. We assess the damage and document it with photographs and a written estimate to support your insurance claim. |
| Fence Post Repair & Replacement | From $450 | In Central Indiana it is frost heave, not rot alone, that lifts posts and puts the lean in a fence line. We reset or replace posts in fresh concrete, plumb and braced, below the depth where the ground moves, saving the rest of your fence instead of selling you a new one. |
| Gate Installation & Repair | From $475 | Custom wood, vinyl and metal gates built square and hung to stay square. Adjustable hinges, self-latching hardware and anti-sag bracing, plus rebuilds of dragging or misaligned gates, usually the first part of any fence to fail. |
| Automatic & Driveway Gates | From $2,800 | Sliding and swing driveway gates with professional-grade openers, keypads and safety sensors. Installation and repair on all major opener brands, plus solar options for acreage without trenched power. A licensed electrician pulls any new line the opener needs. |
| Pool Fence Installation | From $34/ft | Aluminum, mesh and glass pool barriers installed to the pool barrier code that applies at your address. That means self-closing, self-latching gates and the height your jurisdiction requires, and we walk those requirements with you before a single post is set. |
| Fence Replacement & Removal | From $2,400 | Complete tear-out, haul-away and rebuild, or a straight removal if that is all you need. We reuse what is sound, replace what is not, and quote repair against full replacement side by side so you decide with real numbers. |
| Fence Staining & Restoration | From $950 | Professional cleaning, brightening and stain-sealing for cedar and treated pine fences. Done properly it buys years against four seasons of freeze-thaw, humid summers and UV. We also tell you when the wood is past saving and staining would just be money on a failing fence. |
| Commercial & Temporary Fencing | Free site quote | Commercial chain link, security fencing, temporary construction fence and silt fence for Indianapolis jobsites. Fast installs, code-aware layouts and volume pricing for builders, general contractors and property managers across Marion County and the surrounding counties. |
| Farm & Ranch Fencing | From $12/ft | Ranch rail, no-climb horse fence, field wire and pipe fencing for acreage at the edge of the metro. We work the farmland beyond the subdivisions in Hamilton, Hendricks, Johnson and Boone counties, with straight lines over long runs, braced corners and gates sized for trailers and equipment. |

Each material has different durability, maintenance requirements, and installation complexity. Chain link is affordable and low-maintenance, while vinyl requires specialized installation techniques and offers 20+ years of durability without staining or painting.
