Get fencing bids in Portland & beyond
A fence bid is mostly math: how many feet, how tall, what material, how many gates, and what has to come down first. Cedar is the local default. Talk to the neighbor before you post, since shared fences and shared costs are common. Then post the line and license-verified fence contractors bid it as described.
Who is on the board for fencing
license-verified fencing contractors on the board, based in Portland, Hillsboro, Salem and 23 more. Every license checked against the Oregon CCB and Oregon LCB and WA L&I registry before their first bid. Names stay hidden until you pick a bid.
Wondering about price first? What a fence costs in Portland.
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 fence crew here builds with it every week. 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?
Up to five, and you can raise that on your project page. Bidding stops at your limit, and no bidder ever sees your contact info unless you pick them.
