How much does a new fence cost in Canon City?
Fence costs vary widely based on material, height, linear footage, and terrain difficulty. Generally, chain link is the most affordable, followed by treated wood, cedar, vinyl, and then wrought iron. We provide free, itemized estimates so you know exactly what your project will cost with no hidden fees.
Do I need a permit for my fence?
In most cities like Canon City, Florence, and Pueblo, permits are required for new fence installations. Regulations often dictate maximum height (usually 6ft for backyards, 4ft for front yards) and setbacks. We handle the permitting process for you to ensure your fence is fully code-compliant.
How long does fence installation take?
A typical residential fence (approx. 150 linear feet) usually takes 2-4 days. This includes post setting, allowing concrete to cure (often 24-48 hours), and then installing rails and pickets. Larger commercial or acreage projects will take longer. We provide a clear timeline before we start.
What is the difference between vinyl and wood?
Wood is natural, customizable, and generally lower upfront cost, but requires staining every few years to prevent rot. Vinyl is a synthetic material that is virtually maintenance-free, UV resistant, and impervious to moisture, but has a higher initial cost and fewer color options (though that is changing).
Do you offer warranties on your work?
Yes. We stand behind our craftsmanship with a solid labor warranty. Additionally, many of our materials, especially vinyl and ornamental iron products, come with manufacturer warranties ranging from 20 years to lifetime. We will provide all warranty details for your specific materials.
Can you repair my existing fence?
Absolutely. We offer comprehensive repair services for all fence types. Whether it's replacing a few broken posts, fixing a sagging gate, or patching extensive wind damage, we can often extend the life of your current fence for a fraction of the cost of replacement.
How deep do you set your posts?
In our region, frost heave and high winds are major concerns. We set our posts a minimum of 24 inches deep (often deeper for gate posts or taller fences) in concrete to ensure stability and longevity. We don't cut corners on the foundation of your fence.
Do you work in winter?
Yes, weather permitting. As long as the ground isn't frozen too deep to dig, we install fences year-round. Winter can actually be a great time to schedule installation as wait times are often shorter than in the spring and summer rush.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, checks, and major credit cards. We can also discuss financing options or phased installation plans for larger projects to help fit your budget.
