How it works

From first call to finished job

  1. Step 1

    Tell us about your project

    Fence type, rough length and height, the gates you need and your address. A photo or a quick sketch of the yard helps.

  2. Step 2

    Measure and plan

    The fence line is measured and walked with you: corners, gates, slopes, trees and anything in the way, plus property lines and city or HOA rules.

  3. Step 3

    A clear quote

    You get a quote that spells out the materials, height, length, gates and how the posts will be set, so it's easy to compare.

  4. Step 4

    Installation

    Underground lines are marked through 811 before digging, then posts are set and panels, rails and gates go up. The site is cleaned up when the work is done.

Joanna Konechne

“We had a deck done by Element Fencing. The crew was exceptional. They are true craftsman. They worked hard and brought our somewhat unconventional vision to life. They are skilled, creative, dependable, and also thoughtful about minimizing waste.”

John Tansey

“We’ve used Element Fencing for three projects over the years and love working with these guys. We have worked with a lot of contractors in the area and this group is our go to whenever friends ask for a good fence builder. We like that they are pleasant to have around and the prices are reasonable and the work is always great. We will be using them again this spring & will post updates & photos. Highly recommend.”

FAQ

Alternative Wood Fences: common questions

Which fence material should I choose?

Wood gives a classic look and full privacy but needs staining or sealing every few years. Vinyl costs more up front and needs little more than washing. Chain link is practical and economical for large areas and pets. Aluminum works well around pools and front yards where you want to keep the view. Your goal, budget and how much upkeep you want usually decide it.

Do I need a permit for a fence?

Many cities require one, especially for taller fences, corner lots and pool barriers, and most HOAs have their own approval process and style rules. Height limits are common too, with front-yard fences usually kept lower than back-yard fences. Check with your city and HOA before the project starts.

Where does the fence go relative to my property line?

Fences usually go just inside the property line to avoid disputes. If you're not sure where the line is, your plat map or a survey shows it. If you and a neighbor want a shared fence right on the line, put the agreement in writing.

How long does fence installation take?

Most residential fences go up in one to three days once work starts. Posts set in concrete need time to cure before heavy gates are hung, and rocky ground, slopes or long runs can add time.

What about underground utilities?

Before any digging, public utility lines are marked through 811, the national call-before-you-dig number. Private lines that 811 doesn't mark, like sprinkler pipes, buried pet fences or power to a shed, should be pointed out before posts are dug.

What areas do you serve?

We build fences across Boise. If you're nearby and not sure whether you're in the area, mention your address in your request or call ELEMENT FENCING.
