Fence Restoration Prices

[Russell Cissell 65]

Fence restoration has alway presented a challenge. The difficulty is obviously not in the restoration itself but rather in commanding a fair price for the service.

I am interested in hearing from other contractors as to their pricing schedule for both new construction finishing as well as complete fence restoration.

Our prices are set as follows:

Light Cleaning $0.25/SqFt

Heavy Cleaning $0.35/SqFt

Finish Removal $0.75/SqFt

Finish Application $0.69/SqFt

In most cases we are not even being underbid. The homeowners simply do not have the work done or they will attempt it themselves.

I would truly appreciate any information that you are willing to share.

Thank you

i was just wondering, say you had two fence jobs each being 100ft. (thats 100 linft right?) but fence a)was 4 feet tall and b)was 6feet tall. and you charge $5 per linft. do you bid both these jobs at 500? and those who price by linear feet, does the 100 foot fence double to 200 lin feet when doing both sides?

sorry maybe i'm overthinking this(or probably inmy case under thinking)

thanks

If you are doing both sides,yes the linear footage would double.

It's best to figure both linear and sq ft when doing a fence.To use you example (a)6'x100'x2=1200 sq ft(b)4'x100'x2=800 sq ft.,400 sq ft difference.

Linear feet is 200' for both,as you can see both fences aren't created equal in sq ft.
