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:
- 01Number 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.
- 02Terrain and soil conditions Typical Tippecanoe County loam-over-clay. Harder digs and sloped lots add labor hours.
- 03Demo 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.
- 04HOA requirements and permits As an unincorporated area, Shadeland follows Tippecanoe County building codes rather than city ordinances. Permit fees and HOA approvals can add $50–$300.
- 05Material 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.
- 06Stain, 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."
✓Estimator number is honest.Drawn from current material cost + crew rates across Indiana.
✓Site measure is free.About 15 minutes. Dave brings a tape and his own coffee.
✓Final quote is binding.What's on the paper in your driveway is what you sign.
