The Real Cost of Fence Installation in Dennis (and How to Budget Smart)

Fence installation Dennis costs more than just materials and labor. Hidden expenses catch homeowners off guard. Here's what you really pay and how to plan for it.

Materials run $15 to $50 per linear foot depending on what you choose. Chain link sits at the low end. Cedar falls in the middle. Vinyl and ornamental iron cost the most. Multiply your property perimeter by your material cost. That's your baseline.

Labor adds another $10 to $30 per linear foot. Complex installations cost more. Rocky soil costs more. Slopes cost more. Corners and gates cost more. A straight run on flat ground costs less. Get quotes based on your actual property, not average prices.

Permits cost $50 to $200 in most Dennis neighborhoods. Some areas require them. Some don't. Call your town hall before you start. Installing without a permit means fines and possible removal. That's expensive.

Property surveys prevent neighbor disputes. You think you know your property line. You might be wrong. A survey costs $300 to $600. That's cheap compared to moving a fence you built on your neighbor's land. Get the survey.

Removal and disposal of old fencing adds $3 to $5 per linear foot. You can't leave old fence posts in the ground. They interfere with new installation. Hauling away old materials costs money. Factor this in if you're replacing existing fence.

Gates cost extra. A basic gate runs $150 to $300. A double gate costs more. Automatic gates cost significantly more. Don't forget gate hardware and locks. These add up fast.

Here's how to budget smart: Get three written quotes. Make sure each quote includes permits, removal, gates, and cleanup. The lowest price often skips these items. You pay later when they surprise you with add-ons.
