Reno Solid Fence does not set prices; independent local contractors do. This guide gathers published national installed ranges per linear foot so you can check a quote, and explains the Reno-specific factors that push a number up or down.

Installed cost per linear foot, by material
No public source we could verify publishes Reno-specific fence pricing. These national ranges are installed prices (materials and labor) from national cost guides and, for chain link, one fence company's published guide.
| Fence | Typical national range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Wood privacy, 6 ft | $13–$45 per lf | Treated pine $15–$30; cedar $25–$45 |
| Vinyl privacy, 6 ft | $30–$60 per lf | No painting or staining |
| Chain link | About $32–$71 per lf | Contractor-published; other guides list less for basic galvanized |
| Aluminum | $25–$50 per lf | Ornamental picket styles |
| Wrought iron / ornamental steel | $30–$100+ per lf | Custom work at the top |
| Split rail (wood) | $15–$35 per lf | With wire mesh about $35–$40 |
Gates, repair and add-ons
| Item | Typical national range |
|---|---|
| Driveway gate, installed | Average about $2,337 (about $875–$3,823) |
| Automatic driveway gate | About $1,900–$6,000 |
| Chain-link gate | About $200–$1,000 |
| Fence repair, per job | Average about $618 |
| Wood fence repair | About $320–$760 |
| Post replacement | About $120–$350 per post |
Worked example
A typical tract-home backyard might need about 150 linear feet of 6-foot fence. At the national ranges above, that works out roughly as follows, before gates, removal or permits:
- Wood privacy at $13–$45 per foot: about $1,950–$6,750.
- Vinyl privacy at $30–$60 per foot: about $4,500–$9,000.
- Aluminum at $25–$50 per foot (open picket, not privacy): about $3,750–$7,500.
These are arithmetic on national figures, not a quote. Measure your own lines and ask contractors to quote the same scope.
What moves a Reno fence quote
- Digging. Caliche hardpan and rock can turn a quick auger hole into slow work. Ask whether hard digging is priced separately.
- Wind and height. Solid 6-foot fences on exposed lots need closer posts or steel posts.
- Slope. Stepped or racked panels on foothill lots take more labor than a flat run.
- Gates and corners. Each one adds larger posts and hardware.
- Removal. Tear-out and disposal of an old fence and its concrete footings.
- Permits and paperwork. A City of Reno fence permit and plot plan, a survey where lines are unclear, HOA review, TRPA in Incline Village, or a Comstock Historic District certificate in Virginia City.
- Fire-zone sections. Noncombustible material for the 5 feet nearest the house in Washoe County WUI areas.
Deposits and payment
Nevada limits the initial down payment or deposit on a residential contract to $1,000 or 10 percent of the contract price, whichever is less, unless the contractor holds a specific $100,000 residential bond (NRS 624.940). Get the price, scope, payment schedule and completion date in writing, and check the contractor's license at nvcontractorsboard.com. For wood specifically, see wood fence cost.
