The market ranges, with sources
These are third-party market ranges published Oct–Nov 2026, not Payless Fence Company prices. Cedar privacy: about $23–$56 per linear foot installed (NumeralQ $23.37–$35.96; Denver Fence Contractors from $45; Recommended.app $35–$55). Vinyl privacy: $25–$75 per foot. Chain link: $15–$35 per foot. Aluminum ornamental: $29–$90 per foot. Wrought and ornamental iron: $65–$150+ per foot. Composite privacy: $41–$64 per foot. Split rail: $9–$13 per foot.
The sources disagree with each other, and that is the point: NumeralQ is the most granular Denver source but systematically low compared with contractor-published guides. Present both, do not average them away. Angi (updated 4 Aug 2026) averages about $22 per foot, with a range of $12–$60.
Typical project totals in the market guides
For a typical 150-ft job, NumeralQ puts the range at $3,010–$5,070. Great Neighbor (5 Nov 2026) puts most full residential fences at $2,500–$7,500. HomeServicesPros puts a typical 150-ft privacy fence at $4,500–$9,000. Angi averages about $2,780 per project. Same city, same month, very different numbers — because length, gates, ground, and material change everything.
That is why a per-foot number from the internet cannot price your yard. It can only tell you which materials cost more than others, and roughly by how much.
What moves the number
Length first, then gates: market guides put a walk gate at $328–$633 and a double drive gate at $1,330–$3,100 (NumeralQ, Oct 2026). Slope and rock add about $2.64–$4.40 per foot. Old-fence removal is a genuine conflict in the sources — NumeralQ says $3.95–$5.13 per foot, Angi says $10–$17 — so treat either figure with care.
Then the Denver-specific costs: posts set deep in concrete below the roughly 36-inch frost line, footings in expansive bentonite clay, and the zoning permit for any fence over 4 ft. Call (720) 697-2456 to talk through your yard and get a written scope for your job.
