Get FeaturedFence Installation Cost in Wilmington
Fence installation costs in Wilmington typically range from $15 to $75 per linear foot installed, depending on the material and fence height. A standard 6-foot wood privacy fence runs $20–$35 per linear foot, while vinyl privacy panels cost $25–$50 per linear foot. Chain link is the most affordable option at $10–$25 per linear foot. For a typical 200 linear foot residential yard, expect to pay $3,000–$15,000 depending on materials. Gates, old fence removal, and terrain complexity can add to the total.
What Affects Pricing
- Fence material: Wood, vinyl, chain link, aluminum, and wrought iron each have different material costs. Vinyl and ornamental metals cost more than wood or chain link.
- Permits and HOA requirements: Permit fees vary by jurisdiction in North Carolina. Some HOAs require specific materials or architectural review, which may limit cost-saving options.
- Soil conditions: Rocky or clay-heavy soil requires more time and specialized equipment for post holes. Hard ground can double the labor time for post setting.
- Old fence removal: Demolishing and hauling away an existing fence adds $3–$5 per linear foot. Concrete footing removal adds additional labor and disposal cost.
- Gate quantity and type: Each gate adds cost. Simple walk gates start around $200–$500, while wide driveway gates or automated sliding gates can exceed $2,000–$5,000.

Why Hire a Local Fence Installation Contractor in Wilmington
Hiring a local fence contractor in Wilmington gives you several advantages over national chains or out-of-area companies.
