Ever get three fence quotes and wonder why the numbers are all over the place? 🤔
Here's what actually moves the price of a wood fence:
🌲 Cedar vs. pine: Cedar costs more upfront but handles Houston humidity and bugs better. Pine is easier on the budget.
📏 Height: Taller fences need more lumber and heavier posts.
🪵 Style: Picket uses the least wood. Board-on-board uses the most.
📋 Why quotes vary: Wood grade, post depth, hardware, and old fence removal all change the number.
The cheapest quote isn't always the lowest cost. Know what you're paying for.
