Every Material, Honestly Compared
Each material earns its place in a different yard — and each has a real trade-off nobody should gloss over. Here's the straight version:
Zero staining, zero rot, decades of near-nothing maintenance — the fastest-growing choice in Monroe County's newer neighborhoods. Costs more up front, pays it back in skipped weekends.
Vinyl fence details →Cedar and pressure-treated pine: the classic look, the friendliest price per foot, and endlessly customizable — dog ear, flat top, board-on-board, lattice tops.
Wood fence details →The workhorse: dogs contained, kids corralled, budgets respected. Galvanized or black vinyl-coated, which disappears into the yard better than people expect.
Chain link details →The wrought-iron look without the rust — elegant, pool-code friendly, and built for view lots where you want a boundary, not a wall.
Aluminum fence details →Six feet of your yard back: solid vinyl or wood privacy fencing designed around sight lines, grade changes, and Rochester's close-set lots.
Privacy fence details →Code-compliant pool barriers with self-closing gates — plus repairs for leaning posts, storm damage, and gates that stopped latching. Pool fences · Repairs
Know Your Pickets
The style question comes up on every quote, so here's the cheat sheet — these four profiles cover most wood and vinyl fences in Rochester:
Board-on-board, shadowbox, lattice-top, and full-privacy panels too — the wood and vinyl pages walk through when each one earns its keep.
Built For This Climate
A fence that thrives in Virginia falls over in Irondequoit. Around here the job has to answer to real conditions: frost heave — posts set 42 to 48 inches deep, below the frost line, or winter will push them out like loose teeth; heavy clay soil that holds water against posts and demands proper gravel drainage at the base; lake-effect wind and snow load, which decide post spacing and panel construction on open lots in Greece, Hilton, and Webster; and tight property lines in the city and first-ring suburbs, where an inch over the line becomes a neighbor dispute. We build for all four — and we'll tell you during the quote which ones your yard actually needs to worry about.
Free on-site visit: we measure, talk styles and materials, flag utility marks and property-line questions, and leave you a real number — not a teaser.
Dig Safely New York locates come first, every time. Then post layout gets set around gates, grades, and your survey.
The part you can't see is the part that decides whether the fence is straight in ten years. We dig deep, set them true, and let them cure right.
Panels hung, gates swinging and latching, site cleaned, and a final walk of the line with you before we call it done.
Straight Answers
Most installed fences here run roughly $15–$60 per linear foot depending on material — chain link at the low end, wood in the middle, vinyl and aluminum higher. A typical 150-foot backyard lands anywhere from about $2,500 to $9,000. Full per-foot breakdown on the fence cost page, and an exact number is one free site visit away.
Depends on your town — Monroe County's villages and towns each set their own height limits, corner-lot sight rules, and permit thresholds, and the City of Rochester has its own. Pool fences are the exception everywhere: New York's code requires a compliant barrier, no debate. We'll tell you during the quote what your specific town requires, because we deal with these offices all season.
Usually right up to it — but "it" is the operative word. If your pins are buried or your survey is from 1987, resolve that before anyone digs, because moving a fence eight inches after the fact costs real money and neighborly goodwill. We'll talk through locating pins or getting a stake survey during the visit.
Often, yes — augers handle frozen ground, and the off-season sometimes means faster scheduling. Deep freezes and active snowpack can pause digging, so winter timelines get quoted honestly rather than optimistically. If your project can wait for April, spring is easier; if it can't, ask.
Most residential fences take one to three days on site once materials arrive: posts set first, then panels after the concrete cures. Vinyl and chain link move fastest; long wood runs with custom gates take the extra day. The quote comes with a real schedule, not a shrug.
