When to use and what to include
Build and revise pricing online, then generate a client-ready quote PDF. Use this when a property owner requests pricing for a new fence or fence replacement, after you have measured the property line and discussed material and style preferences.
What to include
- Linear footage by section, with the post spacing, size, material, footing, and total count selected for the design, soil, wind, manufacturer instructions, and local requirements.
- Material grade and style: fence type (privacy, semi-privacy, picket, chain link, aluminum, vinyl), board dimensions, picket spacing, and material grade (cedar, pressure-treated pine, composite, aluminum gauge).
- Gate details: number of gates, width (single 3-4 foot walk gate vs. double 10-12 foot drive gate), gate hardware (hinges, latch, self-closer, lock), and any automation for drive gates.
- Site conditions that affect price: slope/terrain (stepped vs. racked panels), existing fence removal and disposal, tree roots or rock that complicate post hole digging, and utility locate status.
Common questions
- Can I build and revise this Fence Quote online before sending it?
- Yes. Update scope of work, quantities, labor, and totals in your browser, then generate a polished Fence Quote PDF.
- Can I save this Fence Quote and reuse it for similar jobs?
- Yes. With an account, save the estimate in your history, edit it later, and reuse relevant line items and job details for similar work.
- Can I export this Fence Quote with finalized pricing and terms?
- Yes. Download a clean PDF with the final scope of work, line items, totals, terms, and customer details ready to send.
- Should I include the survey or rely on the customer's property pins?
- State in the quote that the customer is responsible for confirming property lines. Recommend a survey if pins are missing. Installing a fence on the neighbor's property is an expensive mistake.
- How do I quote for sloped terrain?
- Measure actual linear footage along the slope. State whether panels will be stepped or racked and price the selected installation method.
- Should I quote post depth?
- Record the depth, footing size and material, drainage detail, and installation method specified for the fence design, soil, frost, wind, manufacturer instructions, and local requirements.
- Do I include staining or sealing in a wood fence quote?
- Quote staining as a separate line item when requested, identifying the product, preparation, application, coats, color, and maintenance terms. For treated lumber, follow the lumber and coating manufacturers' moisture and readiness instructions instead of assuming one waiting period.
- How do I make my estimates look professional?
- Add your company details, itemized labor and materials, totals, schedule, and terms so the customer can review the full estimate in one PDF.
- Should I email or text my estimates?
- Download the formatted PDF and send it by email or message so the customer can open, print, and keep the complete job details.
