Get fencing bids in Portland
Fence bids are mostly arithmetic: linear feet, height, material, gates, and how hard the old fence fights back. Cedar is the Northwest default for good reason, and a fence is also the one project where a five-minute talk with your neighbor beforehand can save real money and real friction. Post the line, and verified fence contractors bid it as described.
What to put in your fencing post
- 01Linear feet, even paced off roughly, and fence height
- 02Material: cedar is standard here; chain link, hog wire, and vinyl all bid differently
- 03How many gates, and how wide (mower? trailer?)
- 04What is coming down first, and who hauls it
- 05Photos along the line, especially slopes, trees, and tight corners
- 06Whether the neighbor is splitting the cost (worth asking; it is common)
Fencing questions, answered
Why cedar?
It is local, it looks right, it resists rot naturally, and every Portland fence crew can build with it in their sleep. It will silver unless you stain it, and either choice is legitimate. Other materials are worth bidding when function beats looks.
What about the property line?
Know where it is before anyone digs. If there is any doubt, saying so in the post lets bidders account for it, and talking to your neighbor first is free insurance. Shared fences with shared costs are common and completely normal here.
How is the price built?
Mostly per linear foot, adjusted for height, material, gates, demolition, and terrain. That is why footage and photos in your post get you accurate bids instead of a range wide enough to be useless.
How many bids can I get?
3 to 8, your call, set when you post. Bidding stops at your limit, and no bidder ever sees your contact info unless you pick them.
