What a homeowner knows before asking for a quote
By the time they search, most fence buyers have paced out the yard, so the fastest way to earn the quote is to give them a ballpark and ask for the rest. We structure the site around that: materials first, pricing second, quote request third.
Prices stay clearly labeled, so every range is labeled as an example until you enter your own prices.
Let buyers price their fence first
- Fence price calculator: length, material, height and gates in, an example range out, then a quote request.
- Materials estimate: posts, rails, boards or panels and concrete for a run, ending in a quote request.
- Financing calculator: an example monthly payment and a link to your lender’s application, shown only if you offer financing.
- ZIP check: confirms coverage for Berkeley, Alameda and the rest of your area.

A quote form that saves the measure trip
Ask for these and many quotes can be roughed out before you visit:
- How much fence: approximate feet, or the number of sides being fenced.
- Material and height: wood, vinyl, chain link or ornamental, and the height they picked.
- Gates: number and type, since gates move the price most.
- Old fence: whether an existing fence needs removing and hauling.
- Ground: grade changes and gate width for a post-hole digger.
- Photos: two or three shots of the run and the gate spots.
- Pool: whether any section is a pool barrier, which changes gates and hardware.

Questions from Oakland fence companies
Can the site list only the fences I build?
Only what you install. Wood, vinyl, chain link, ornamental or block, as you list them, so buyers never ask for a fence you do not build.
Do quote requests include pictures of the yard?
Yes. The form takes a few pictures of the fence line and gate spots, which helps you decide which quotes need a trip first.
Do I need a lender for the financing tool?
Where you offer financing, the calculator turns the example price into a monthly estimate and links to your partner's application.
How do you handle towns outside Oakland?
