New home owner who has never had to hire a contractor before. Want to have chain link fence replaced and want to have put in white vinyl fence to match connected town home.
It is just a 40 foot length I need replaced and will need to have one gate. As I get quotes, what kind of price should I expect to pay? What’s considered fair and what’s considered a rip off?
EDIT: Thanks for all the feedback! I think I’m not in the right tax bracket to hire people to do this, so probably going to try to do it myself.
Get multiple quotes and compare them. The cost will depend on where you are, what the conditions are like, how many jobs are being done by the supplier, etc.
Several quotes will quickly tell you who is charging too much and who is not charging enough.
You can also go to the hardware store and source the materials yourself and put it up on the weekend. Plenty of YouTube video experts to learn from.
There’s specialty equipment needed to stretch chainlink into position.
They’re replacing chain link fence, not installing it, you may have misread the OP
The chain link is coming down.
And don’t go with the cheapest one. I did that. The guy is almost done. Almost nothing about the fence meets what I would consider professional standards. I deeply regret hiring this guy.
