How much does a new fence cost in Salem, Oregon?
New fence installs from Forbes Fence start at $40 per linear foot for 4-foot chain link, $45 per foot for vinyl and $55 per foot for aluminum. Cedar and wood fences are quoted to the project. Your final price depends on material, height, total length, gates and the site itself, and every customer gets a free, written quote before work starts.
What do I get on a fence over 100 feet?
Every Forbes Fence installation over 100 feet includes three upgrades at no added cost: metal lifetime posts instead of wood posts, a free 4-foot walk gate, and $5 off every linear foot. On a 120-foot fence, the per-foot discount alone saves $600.
How long does fence installation take?
Most Forbes Fence fences are installed in 2–5 days, depending on the material, length and site.
What fence holds up best in Oregon's rain?
Vinyl and powder-coated aluminum don't rot or rust, so they shrug off Willamette Valley rain with almost no maintenance. Cedar is naturally rot-resistant, and on 100 ft+ jobs Forbes Fence sets every fence on metal lifetime posts, which last far longer than wood posts in wet ground.
What happens at the free consultation?
Forbes Fence walks your property and measures every line, shows you a 3D rendering of your fence on your layout, compares materials side by side with per-foot pricing, and then gives you a written quote.
What areas does Forbes Fence serve?
Forbes Fence is based in Salem, Oregon, and builds fences across Marion, Polk and Linn County, including Salem, Keizer, Silverton, Dallas, Woodburn and Albany. If you're in the mid-Willamette Valley and not on the list, call (503) 445-3024. We likely cover it.
