Fence quotes priced right.
Signed before you leave.
Every fence quote trades accuracy for speed. Speed wins the job. Accuracy decides whether you make money on it. You should never leave a customer’s house without a quote — and never hand over a number you can’t build at a profit.
Three ways to price a fence today. None of them is fast and accurate.
- By the foot. A guess. Gates, corners and tear-out come out of your margin.
- From memory. Your best recollection of supplier prices. Close, never exact.
- From the supplier. Build the list, send it, wait. Right — a week later, after the homeowner has two other bids.
Fence Quote Builder builds the material list and prices it from your supplier’s catalog while you’re still in the yard. The customer signs the real number before you leave.
Onboarding is hands-on. We load your price book with you — nobody on the crew types in a catalog.
From footage to signature
Four things the app does between the yard and the crew.
Footage and fence type in, price out
Pick style, height, color and gates, then draw or enter the run.
- The price comes back while you’re still on site
- No supplier callback, no night at the kitchen table
- Not a week later, after the homeowner has two other bids
A signable quote, on the spot
The price becomes an itemized quote on your letterhead in a tap.
- Sign on screen before you leave, or send a link for that evening
- A validity window, so your number doesn’t outlive your supplier’s
- Nothing re-typed to get there
One material list, shared by everyone
Customer, supplier and crew work off the same list, counted from the measurement.
- Posts, rails, pickets, caps, concrete, gate hardware
- Tear-out and haul-away on the sheet, not forgotten
- One version — nothing shows up short on install day
Your exact supplier pricing, never a guess
Every line priced from your own catalog at your own cost.
- Labor priced per fence type — wood isn’t vinyl
- Quantity, unit price, extended, shown in full
- Load a new supplier sheet; any price that jumps gets flagged
- A margin floor blocks quotes the crew can’t build at a profit
The homeowner already knows what a good quote looks like.
We read the forums where contractors and homeowners argue about fence quotes. Three complaints come up over and over. Every one is a workflow problem, not a people problem.
01 — THE WAIT
Quotes take a week. Buyers give them half an hour.
- Homeowners collect three bids and take the first clean number
- A quote that arrives days later reads as a preview of the job
“He should never have to leave your location before quoting. The moment he leaves your property he has opened the door for another company to take the job.”
02 — THE SOFTWARE
General contractor software doesn’t know what a fence is.
- No posts, no rails, no concrete per hole — every line typed by hand
- So shops stay on paper, and bidding becomes the job nobody wants
“Of everything I do in the trade, bidding is my least favorite. Keep it simple.”
03 — THE HANDOFF
The quote never becomes the material list.
- A per-foot number can’t carry sixty styles and fifteen gate types
- Somebody re-keys it, the second gate falls off, install day comes up short
“Around 60 different styles of PVC fence/railings, about 15 different style gates.”
We know, because we’re a fence company too.
Fence Quote Builder was built and tested inside a working fence company, by a team with more than 100 years of combined experience selling and installing fence. Every fix on this page is one we needed ourselves first.
One measurement becomes the quote, the contract, the order, and the crew’s list.
Measure once, on site or off the map — it works without a signal.
- The measurement builds the material list
- The material list is the quote
- The signed quote goes to the supplier to order and the crew to stage
- Nothing downstream is re-derived, so nothing drifts
Five fence types, modelled properly.
Not a text box with a price in it. The calculator works out post counts, concrete, panel or fabric runs, gate hardware and labor days from the footage and the specs — and shows its work.
Vinyl / PVC
27 styles, 23 colors, per-style and per-height pricing, post caps, gate hardware by type.
Chain link
Vinyl-coated and galvanized, fabric by height and gauge, line, terminal and corner posts, tension bands sized to the post, top rail, drop rods.
Wood
Pressure treated and cedar, board-on-board or standard, boards, rails, posts, nails, gate hardware.
Aluminum
28 styles across the Royal range, grade-driven post sizes, spacing, arched and flat sections, hardware.
Tear-out
Removal and disposal priced by the foot, on the same quote as the new run.
The quoting process, end to end
01 — MEASURE
Measure the map or the property
- Draw the run on satellite imagery before you arrive, or enter measurements you walked by hand.
- As many fence types as the job needs — 6′ privacy along the back, 4′ picket out front.
- Drop gates exactly where they go, single or double.
- Each fence type draws in its own color, so a mixed job reads at a glance.
- Segment lengths and job totals tally as you draw.
02 — PRICE
Your catalog, your supplier, your costs
Not an estimate of what fence costs.
- Built from the products you actually install — your catalog, from your supplier.
- Every line priced at the cost you actually pay. No market averages.
- Quantity, unit price, extended, shown in full. Nothing rounded.
- New supplier price sheet comes in, we load it right away — never quoting last season’s numbers.
03 — SHOW
Let them see it first
- Render the fence onto a photo of their own yard.
- A few styles or colors side by side, before anybody commits.
- Settles the question at the kitchen table instead of after install.
- Add a new fence to the yard, or replace the one that’s already there.
- Send the pictures to the customer right from the app.
04 — QUOTE TO SIGNATURE
Signed before you leave
- The quote becomes a contract branded with your logo and your colors — not a line re-typed.
- Sign on the screen on site, or send them a digital copy to sign on their own.
- The material list goes to your supplier to order and your crew to stage.
- Ordered, staged and signed all match, because they are the same list.
Your price book is not a spreadsheet you maintain by hand.
Repricing an entire book after a supplier increase goes from a weekend to an afternoon. This is the part nobody else has.
Upload the sheet your supplier emailed
PDF, Excel, CSV, Word, or a photograph of a printed sheet. The system reads it, maps each line to the right item in your book, and shows you a diff before anything changes.
Nothing is written without a human
Suspicious moves — a price that trebled, or dropped by three-quarters — are flagged for a second look. You confirm every change.
The second sheet is nearly one click
The first import saves that supplier’s crosswalk, so every sheet after it lands against the right items automatically.
Every price remembers its history
What it was, what it became, when it changed, and whether a person edited it or a supplier file moved it.
Pricing Health walks the whole book
Every quotable configuration checked against your prices — a wall of green, or the exact combination that would price at zero before a customer finds it for you.
Your overrides stay yours
Platform prices update underneath you. Anything you have changed by hand is never quietly overwritten.
And everything after the handshake.
Contract and signature
Scope of work drafted from the quote and editable, plus terms, deposit, tax, dirt handling and site diagram. In-person and remote signatures write identical records.
Material lists and POs
The same quote produces a crew material list or a supplier purchase order — with waste applied only to fabric, panels, boards, rails and concrete, never to exact-count hardware.
Customers and properties
Two ways into the same history. By contact — every property they own, every job, lifetime value. By property — every job done there regardless of who owned the house at the time.
The install pipeline
14 gates from sold to referral — HOA, permit, 811 locate, materials ordered and received, walk-through, payment, review. Each records who cleared it and when.
Ask it in plain English
"What did we quote the Hendersons?" "How many jobs are waiting on permits?" "What’s our win rate this quarter?" — answered from your own quotes, contracts and pipeline.
More than one company
Separate price books, branding, users and data per company, enforced at the database. Multi-location operators run each brand with its own prices and its own logo on the paperwork.
Three kinds of software you get shown.
- Field-service platforms dispatch and invoice well. Built for plumbers and HVAC, so the quote screen is generic.
- Drawing and takeoff tools make good site plans. They are drawing tools reaching toward estimating, billed per seat.
- Fence-specific estimators know fence math. Estimating is one step of the job.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fence-aware material math | — | Partial | yes | yes |
| Imports your supplier’s price sheet | — | — | — | yes |
| Fence on the customer’s own photo | — | — | — | yes |
| Satellite measuring included | — | Paid tier | Varies | yes |
