Bespoke Fence Upgrades & Structural Enhancements
Elevate the functionality, lifespan, and security of your Birmingham privacy fence with premium upgrades built to perform.
PostMaster® Steel Posts
Upgrade your wood fence with structural galvanized steel posts hidden directly behind wood pickets. They won't rot, warp, or twist, and can withstand wind loads up to 73 MPH.
Heavy-Duty Sag-Free Gates
The most common point of fence failure is the gate. We build our gates with internal steel reinforcement frames, heavy-duty adjustable hinges, and commercial latches to prevent sagging.
Solar & Low-Voltage Lighting
Add visual appeal and security after sunset. We can integrate subtle LED post cap lighting directly into your vinyl, wood, or aluminum fence layout to illuminate your yard's perimeter.
Retaining Wall Integration
If your yard has sloped terrain, we can custom-step or rack your panels. For steep grades, we integrate the fence seamlessly with structural timber or stone retaining walls to maximize flat yard space and ensure stability.

Located in the Edgewood neighborhood of Homewood, this cottage received a complete exterior transformation with new horizontal white siding replacing the previous yellow and weathered shake cladding.

How Much Does Privacy Fence Installation Cost?
Fencing costs depend on linear footage, material selected, height, gate selections, and ground terrain. Here is what Birmingham and Hoover homeowners typically invest.

Average Cost Tiers for Privacy Fencing (Birmingham Metro)
For context on complete fence installs, below are standard total investment ranges based on common linear footage lengths, including material, professional post hole digging, concrete post setting, gates, and cleanup:
Small Lot / Townhome (100 linear ft)
$2,000 – $5,000
Ideal for townhomes, side-yard partitions, or compact residential lots. Usually includes one single gate.
Standard Suburban Yard (200 linear ft)
$4,000 – $9,500
Our most common project. Fully encloses a standard backyard. Usually includes two walk gates.
Large / Estate Yard (300 linear ft)
$6,000 – $14,500+

Key Factors That Influence Fence Installation Cost
Material Grade
Pressure-treated pine has the lowest upfront cost, but vinyl and cedar require less upkeep and have a longer lifespan, saving money long-term.
Terrain and Slope
Steep slopes require stepped panels or custom racked panels, which demand precision layout adjustments and extra builder labor.
Gate Configurations
Adding gates increases hardware, framing, and installation time. Double driveway gates and automatic access gates increase the overall price.
Clearing & Demolition
If we must clear heavy brush, trim trees along the fence line, or tear down and haul away an existing rotted fence, demolition labor is added.
