Does aluminum fencing rust?

No. Aluminum does not rust — period. The powder-coated finish adds another layer of protection against weathering and UV damage. This is why aluminum outlasts wrought iron and steel alternatives by decades.

Is aluminum fencing strong enough for security?

Aluminum fencing is strong enough for residential security and pet containment. It's not as rigid as steel, but the pickets are difficult to bend by hand. For higher security needs, we recommend commercial-grade aluminum with closer picket spacing.

What moves the number

Why the final aluminum fence cost can shift.

The online estimator gives you a live installed ballpark in about a minute. Our crew walks your yard, checks what a satellite can't see, and locks the final in person. Here's what can nudge it up or down on your lot:

01

Number and type of gates Walk gates typically run $300–$500 installed; double drive gates $700–$1,000. Sliding gates for driveways can exceed $1,500. Each gate adds hardware, framing, and install time.
02

Terrain and soil conditions Tippecanoe County loam and clay. Harder digs and sloped lots add labor hours.
03

Demo and haul-off of existing fence Removing an old fence runs $3–$8 per linear foot depending on material and disposal. We haul everything to the county transfer station so you don't have to.
04

HOA requirements and permits Dayton follows Tippecanoe County building codes. Permit fees and HOA approvals can add $50–$300.
05

Material quality tier Aluminum Fence ranges from contractor-grade at the low end to premium finishes at the high. The spread between $54/ft and $95/ft reflects that choice.
06

Stain, paint, or finish upgrades Adding a stain or paint finish runs $2–$6 per linear foot. Custom post caps, lattice tops, or decorative hardware add to the per-foot price.

Dave's straight story

What we will and won't do with the price.

"Most places hide the number until someone's standing in your driveway with a clipboard. I'm not doing that. The online estimate is built on real materials and real labor — I just can't see your grade, your roots, or your gate swings through a satellite. So I come walk it. Fifteen minutes. The number I hand you in the driveway is the one you sign."
