Why One Fence Quote Was $11,310… And Ours Was $13,975 �55358;�56596;

When homeowners start getting fence quotes, one of the most common questions we hear is: �55357;�56393; “Why is there a price difference?” We recently worked with a homeowner who received two quotes:

One company: $11,310
Frisco Fence: $13,975

At first glance, it may seem like a noticeable gap — but once we broke everything down, it became very clear: �55357;�56393; These were NOT apples-to-apples quotes.

�55357;�56527; 1. The Fence Footage Was Off

The other quote was based on:

143 linear feet

Our quote included:

165 linear feet

That’s a 22-foot difference — which directly impacts material and labor costs. �55357;�56393; The original company never visited the property
�55357;�56393; We completed an on-site evaluation Because of that:

Their measurements for the main fence were incorrect
They missed additional areas the homeowner wanted replaced

�55358;�56817; 2. Missing Scope = Lower Price

The lower quote did not include :

A shielding fence
Fence along the side of the house
A required retaining wall

⚠️ The Retaining Wall Matters

This property has:

~2 feet of built-up soil around the pool

Without a retaining wall:

Soil can shift
Fence posts can fail
The fence won’t hold up long-term

�55357;�56393; This isn’t an upgrade — it’s necessary for a proper build

�55357;�57056;️ 3. Important Details Were Missing

The lower quote did not specify:

❌ Post depth
❌ Whether posts are concreted in
❌ Post gauge (metal thickness)
❌ Material types for rails, trim, or top cap
❌ Whether pricing is all-inclusive (taxes, etc.)

�55357;�56393; And yes — some companies do NOT concrete posts
If it’s not written, you cannot assume it’s included.

�55358;�57013; 4. Structural Build Differences

The other quote included:

3 rails on an 8-foot fence

Our build includes:

4 rails for proper support

Why that matters:

Better structural integrity
Reduced warping and sagging
Stronger performance in North Texas wind

�55358;�56817; 5. No Kickboard Included

The lower quote:

❌ No kickboard mentioned

Our quote:

✅ Includes a pressure-treated kickboard

Benefits:

Protects against ground moisture
Helps prevent rot
Extends the life of the fence

�55356;�57290;‍♂️ 6. No Mention of Pool Code Compliance

The other quote:

❌ No reference to pool code

Our quote:

✅ Built to meet Frisco pool code requirements

Including:

Proper no-climb rail configuration
Safety-focused construction

�55358;�56830; 7. The Fine Print �55357;�57001;

Hidden in the other quote (in faint grey text): �55357;�56393; “Fence footage is approximate and final price will be adjusted.” Meaning:

The price is not guaranteed
It can increase after the project starts

�55357;�56393; This is how many homeowners end up paying more than expected

�55357;�57057;️ 8. Warranty Comparison

Other company:

3-year workmanship warranty

Frisco Fence:

10-year warranty covering:
Workmanship (labor)
Materials

�55357;�56393; That’s long-term protection — not short-term coverage

⚠️ What Homeowners Should Watch For

If one quote is lower, ask: ✔️ Did they measure in person?
✔️ Is everything you want included?
✔️ Are materials clearly defined?
✔️ Is it built to code?
✔️ Is the price locked in?

�55357;�56481; The Bottom Line

The difference between $11,310 and $13,975 isn’t just price… �55357;�56393; It’s scope, accuracy, materials, and long-term durability
