DIY Fence Estimate
If you'd like to get a rough idea on your own about how much fencing you will need, follow these easy steps:
Caution!
Fencing is often priced and sold by SECTIONS, not by linear feet! Even when the linear footage is included specifically in price estimates, the total number of sections is a factor in this pricing. So, price per linear foot is only a rough estimate and rarely represents the actual cost of the finished fence!
If you would love to explore and explain this difference, you can speak with one of our fence experts. Be aware that price per linear foot is a ploy many unprofessional fence installers in the Acadiana area use!

Fence placement is ultimately the responsibility of you, the customer. Moving a fence after installation can be costly, so getting a survey to be safe is never a bad idea. In many cases, the property lines are clear and well-marked and installing your fence can be done without an official survey. However, some municipalities do require it, so be sure to check!

Fencing is one of the most accessible industries for start-up businesses and novice laborers to get into. For these people looking to make a few extra dollars installing fences, a shovel, a level, and a string line may be all they need.
As a result, there are many individuals or companies who show up in Acadiana, install residential fences for a short time, and then disappear. We see it all the time. Beware! You only want to work with a fully licensed and insured fencing contractor in Acadiana.
Here are some of the main pitfalls of working with non-professionals:
The Residential Fence Warranty is Void
If the individual or company that installed your residential fence is no longer in business, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless. Additionally, some manufacturers won't warranty their fence material if it was improperly installed or damaged during installation. Both situations are common with non-professionals.
The Fence Almost Certainly Won't Last As Long
As a professional fence company, our team of installers undergoes rigorous training and constant professional supervision. Our dedication to improving our skills, knowledge of the best fencing materials, and best fence installation techniques maximizes the strength and life of your fence. Companies that install fences as something they do "on the side" usually have no idea how much they don't know about residential fencing or what is best for you and your property.
Your Property May be at Risk
Installing residential fences in the Acadiana area can be risky. Sudden, harsh weather during the fence installation can blow materials and damage your home. We've seen concrete splatter onto cars or drip down beautiful driveways or walkways as buckets of wet concrete are transported. Deep tire tracks sinking into your grass is another common issue. The secondary damage to homes and yards is common when untrained labor installs the fence.
Additionally, you are at risk if anyone gets hurt on your property while they are working. If you hire an unlicensed or uninsured contractor, you may be liable and your homeowner's insurance may deny payment!
At first glance, hiring a novice to install your fence may save you a few dollars, but in the long run, it is almost certainly a price you cannot afford to pay!

We have installed many wood fences in almost every possible area across Acadiana so we are happy to answer these questions and guide you through the process.
The best way to get specific answers quickly and accurately is to call your town building code office.
There is no bad time of year to get an wood fence in Acadiana. As professional fencing contractors, we build wood fences across Acadiana all year!
There are certain times during the year when our installation schedule is busier, but our fence team always does its best to get you the fence you need right when you need it. Reach out today to find out what our current schedule looks like. We always have room for one more fence!
Fence placement is ultimately the responsibility of you, the customer. Moving a fence after installation can be costly, so getting a survey to be safe is never a bad idea. In many cases, the property lines are clear and well-marked and installing your fence can be done without an official survey. However, some municipalities do require it, so be sure to check!
Many small fence companies in Acadiana install wood fencing. Very few specifically train their teams on the best installation techniques and practices for wood fencing. Unfortunately, this means that your wood fence is probably not installed as securely as it could be, which ultimately can reduce the quality and lifespan of your wood fence.
Using inferior installation techniques and improper tools can also damage the wood fence during installation, which may have the unfortunate impact of voiding the manufacturer's warranty since you chose an unqualified contractor not approved by the manufacturer.
Here are some of the main pitfalls of working with non-professionals:
The Wood Fence Warranty is Void
If the individual or company that installed your wood fence is no longer in business, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless.
The Fence Almost Certainly Won't Last As Long
As a professional fence company, our team of installers undergoes rigorous training and constant professional supervision. Our dedication to improving our skills, knowledge of the best fencing materials, and best wood fence installation techniques maximizes the strength and life of your fence. Companies that install wood fences as something they do "on the side" usually have no idea how much they don't know about wood fencing or what is best for you and your property.
Your Property May be at Risk
Installing wood fences in the Acadiana area can be risky. Sudden, harsh weather during the fence installation can blow materials and damage your home. We've seen concrete splatter onto cars or drip down beautiful driveways or walkways as buckets of wet concrete are transported. Deep tire tracks sinking into your grass is another common issue. The secondary damage to homes and yards is common when untrained labor installs the fence.
Additionally, you are at risk if anyone gets hurt on your property while they are working. If you hire an unlicensed or uninsured contractor, you may be liable and your homeowner's insurance may deny payment!
At first glance, hiring a novice to install your wood fence may save you a few dollars, but in the long run, it is almost certainly a price you cannot afford to pay!
We can use any material that we carry, including vinyl, wood, ornamental steel, aluminum, and chain link, to create your fence gate to your specifications. We fabricate our gates in-house, which ensures we can meet your needs for any Acadiana gate project!
We sure can! The pros at Cajun Fencing can walk you through the design and selection process so that we can install the proper gates to accommodate your needs.
Single/Standard Gates:
This single-door gate is usually the same height as the rest of the fence and has one swinging door, which is typically only big enough for one person to walk through. This gate should be reinforced to keep it from sagging and warping, and the latch system should be strategically placed.
Double Gates:
While many people opt for a standard gate to allow guests to walk through, they often like to have an additional double gate to allow easy entry for larger items, such as lawn maintenance equipment or recreational vehicles.
Drive Gates:
Residential driveway gates add a stunning entry to the property and can be installed with automatic openers. When you combine an access control system with your residential drive gate, you can make your everyday life more convenient.
Pool Gates:
Although gates and fences can be decorative, their main purpose is to provide security and keep your family safe. When considering a gate for your pool area, keep in mind that many municipalities already have regulations in place, and the experts at Cajun Fencing will ensure that your pool gate will meet those requirements.
We offer several types of commercial gates, including swing gates, sliding gates, vertical pivot gates, and vertical lift gates. Swing gates open inward or outward like a door, sliding gates move horizontally along a track, and vertical lift gates rise vertically. Each type has its advantages and suitability based on your specific needs and available space.
Many of our residential and commercial clients choose to have more than one gate for various reasons. You may want to consider more than one gate to allow for extra access points to your property, or you might also need a separate, wider entry point for automobiles, recreational vehicles, access for lawn care equipment, or for leisure activities.
Gate automation offers convenience, as you can control your gate without having to open or close it manually. It also enhances the security of your Acadiana home or business by allowing you to monitor and control access to your property more effectively.
