| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood & Privacy Fence Installation | From $32/ft | Wood fencing in Miami-Dade has to fight humidity, salt air, and termites from day one. We treat posts and rails carefully and often steer clients toward PVC or aluminum instead, since drilled limestone holes hold up better long term. |
| Vinyl & PVC Fence Installation | From $44/ft | Vinyl fencing dominates new installs across Miami-Dade because it won't rot in year-round humidity. We anchor posts in drilled limestone and use UV-stable panels that hold color through salt air and daily sun. |
| Chain Link Fence Installation | From $19/ft | Chain link still holds the service yards and canal-side lines across older Miami-Dade neighborhoods. We hang galvanized mesh on posts set below the caprock line for a durable, low-cost boundary. |
| Aluminum & Ornamental Iron Fencing | From $48/ft | Aluminum and ornamental iron fencing hold up well against Miami-Dade's salt air and humidity. We set posts through drilled rock and choose powder-coated finishes that resist rust around pools and waterfront yards. |
| Fence Repair | From $475 | Fence repair in Miami usually means fixing storm-loosened panels or corroded hardware, not frost heave. We rebuild sagging sections, replace rusted fasteners, and reset posts in the rock and sandy fill common across the county. |
| Storm Damage Fence Repair | Free hurricane damage assessment | Hurricane season is what actually brings fences down across Miami-Dade, not old age. We assess wind and water damage, then rebuild with wind-rated posts and hardware sized to your address's approval. |
| Fence Post Repair & Replacement | From $485 | A leaning fence post in Miami almost always means drilled rock that never set right, not frost. We re-drill through the limestone caprock, anchor with fresh concrete, and match the repair into your existing line. |
| Gate Installation & Repair | From $525 | A gate is usually the first part of a Miami fence to fail, since salt air seizes hinges fast. We reset hinge posts in drilled rock, install corrosion-resistant hardware, and square the frame so it swings true again. |
| Automatic & Driveway Gates | From $3,200 | Automatic gates across Miami-Dade's gated subdivisions need hardware that survives salt air and storm surge. We anchor posts through the caprock, wire openers to withstand humidity, and program access for daily use. |
| Pool Fence Installation | From $39/ft | Pool fencing is common work in Miami-Dade, where pools sit behind nearly every home. We size gaps and latch height to the pool barrier code that applies at your address, using aluminum or PVC that won't corrode in this humidity. |
| Fence Replacement & Removal | From $2,700 | Fence replacement in Miami often starts with hauling out old wood that termites and humidity have already ruined. We remove old fencing, dispose of it, and install aluminum or PVC set in drilled rock built for hurricane wind loads. |
| Fence Staining & Restoration | From $1,050 | Wood fencing is rare in Miami, so staining and restoration work usually means saving what's left before termites do. We seal and refinish remaining wood sections, treat for rot, and recommend aluminum or PVC where humidity has already won. |
| Commercial & Temporary Fencing | Free site quote | Commercial and temporary fencing across Miami-Dade has to stand up to hurricane wind, not just mark a site. We set panels for construction sites, events, and storm cleanup zones, weighted or anchored to hold through Miami-Dade weather. |
| Farm & Ranch Fencing | From $14/ft | Farm and ranch fencing in Miami-Dade has to handle flat, low-lying land crossed by canals rather than rolling pasture. We run wire and post lines along canal banks and property edges, using materials that resist salt air and stand up to hurricane-season wind. |
What Affects the Price
- Fence Material and Style : Chain link is the most affordable option, while ornamental iron and automatic gates represent premium investments. Wood, vinyl, and aluminum each have different cost structures based on durability and aesthetics.
- Fence Length and Height : Most installations are priced per linear foot. Longer projects and taller fences require more materials and labor. A 100-foot fence will cost significantly more than a 50-foot fence in the same material.
- Site Conditions and Ground Preparation : Rocky soil, uneven terrain, existing fence removal, and landscaping obstacles can increase labor costs. Miami's unique soil and drainage considerations may affect foundation requirements for posts.
- Repairs Versus Full Replacement : Minor repairs like fixing a gate or replacing a few posts cost less than full fence replacement. Storm damage assessments help determine whether repair or replacement makes financial sense.

Pricing FAQ
Why does vinyl fencing cost more than wood?
Vinyl is more durable, requires less maintenance, and lasts 20+ years without rot or splintering. While the upfront cost is higher (around $44/ft vs. $32/ft for wood), vinyl saves money on staining, sealing, and repairs over time.
