Wood is still the warmest-looking privacy fence you can put up, and it's the most affordable solid-privacy option we install. It also asks more of you than vinyl does — worth knowing before you choose it.

Estimates include one walk gate and assume a standard, level run. Tear-out of an old fence, drive gates, slopes, and corner-heavy layouts are priced separately. Your exact number depends on your actual property line — the tool below measures it from county records.
Enter your address and we'll pull your real lot lines from county records, draw the fence on a satellite photo of your property, and price it — then you can book a free on-site measure.
Standard privacy sets the boards edge to edge. Board-on-board overlaps them, so when the wood shrinks in dry season you don't get gaps you can see through. In Florida's humidity swings that overlap is the difference between a fence that stays private and one that opens up in its second year. It uses more material, so it costs more per foot.
Everything we install is pressure-treated, which is non-negotiable in a climate with this much moisture and this many termites. Untreated wood in Tampa ground is a two-year fence. Posts are set in concrete for the same reason vinyl posts are — sandy soil doesn't hold a post on its own.
This is the honest cost difference. A wood fence wants staining or sealing every few years to keep its color and slow moisture damage. Skip it and you'll get the silver-grey weathered look — which some people actually prefer — but you'll also shorten its life. Vinyl asks nothing of you; wood asks a weekend now and then.
We install new wood fence, but we don't take on wood fence repairs. Repair work on existing wood is unpredictable in a way that doesn't price honestly online — if you need a section fixed rather than a new run, chain link, aluminum, vinyl and steel repairs are all things we do handle, and it's a quick phone call to sort out.
With pressure-treated material, concrete-set posts, and periodic sealing, a well-built wood fence lasts many years here. Without maintenance, expect noticeably less — Florida humidity and sun are the deciding factor, more than the wood itself.
Per foot, yes — wood is typically the lower up-front cost. Over the life of the fence the gap narrows once you account for staining and the occasional board. Which is genuinely better value depends on how long you plan to stay.
Yes, and most homeowners do. Give new pressure-treated wood time to dry out before sealing it — sealing too early traps moisture in the board.
