The FenceBee Process
Our installation process eliminates guesswork and keeps your project on schedule.
- 1
Consultation Visit
We meet you at your property to measure the fence line, discuss design preferences, and review material options. We explain what works best for your specific situation and answer questions.
- 2
Detailed Estimate
You receive a written quote with itemized costs for materials and labor. The estimate includes everything discussed; no surprise add-ons later.
- 3
Schedule Confirmation
After you approve the estimate, we schedule your installation and provide expected start and completion dates.
- 4
Site Preparation
Before installation day, we arrange utility locates. You remove items from the fence line and ensure access for our crew and materials.
- 5
Post Setting
We dig holes to the proper depth for your fence height and soil type, set posts plumb, and pour concrete footings. Posts cure overnight before we continue.
- 6
Rail and Picket Installation
Our crew attaches horizontal rails and then vertical pickets, maintaining consistent spacing and alignment throughout.
- 7
Gates and Hardware
If your project includes gates, we build and hang them with appropriate hinges and latches. Gate posts receive additional reinforcement.
- 8
Cleanup and Walkthrough
We haul away all debris and walk the completed fence with you to confirm everything meets your expectations.
Timelines and Scheduling
Typical wood fence installations take 1-4 days on site depending on linear footage and complexity. A standard backyard privacy fence usually completes in 2 days. Larger properties or projects with multiple gates and corners require more time.
Scheduling usually places your project 1-3 weeks after estimate approval. Spring through fall is our busy season; booking ahead secures your preferred dates. Winter installations are possible during mild weather, though we avoid extreme cold that affects concrete curing.
The complete process from first call to finished fence typically takes 3-4 weeks, including consultation, estimate, scheduling, and installation.
Pricing Factors
Wood fence costs vary based on project specifics. These factors determine your final price:
- Total linear feet: more fencing means more materials and labor
- Wood species: cedar costs more than treated pine
- Fence height: taller fences require more material and deeper posts
- Design style: board-on-board and custom designs use more lumber than basic styles
- Gate count and size: each gate adds hardware and construction time
- Terrain challenges: slopes, rocks, and roots increase installation difficulty
- Old fence removal: if we need to remove existing fencing, this adds cost
- Staining: if you want the fence stained at installation, this is an additional service
We provide accurate quotes after seeing your property. Online calculators and phone estimates cannot account for site-specific factors that affect real costs.
Tulsa-Specific Considerations
Wood fences in Tulsa face hot summers, spring storms, and occasional ice. We specify materials and methods proven in Oklahoma conditions.
Soil type matters for post installation. Clay-heavy areas around Tulsa require deeper posts and more concrete to prevent movement as soil expands and contracts. Sandy or rocky areas present different challenges. Our crews adapt installation methods to what your specific lot requires.
Humidity and temperature swings cause wood to expand and contract. We allow for this movement in our construction so boards do not crack or warp excessively. Proper attachment methods and quality lumber minimize weather-related issues.
Most Tulsa area municipalities require permits for fences. Height restrictions, setback requirements, and neighborhood covenants may affect your project. We review local rules during your consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose cedar or treated pine?
Cedar costs more upfront but typically lasts longer and requires less maintenance. Treated pine is budget-friendly and performs well when properly maintained. Your choice depends on priorities: initial cost savings or long-term value.
How often does a wood fence need staining?
We recommend staining every 2-3 years to protect wood from UV damage and moisture. The exact interval depends on sun exposure, weather, and stain quality. Well-maintained fences outlast neglected ones by years.
Can you match my existing landscaping?
We work with you to select materials and stains that complement your home and yard. During consultation, we discuss the overall look you want and recommend options that fit.
What happens if a board breaks later?
Individual boards can be replaced without rebuilding entire sections. Keep a few extra boards from installation for future repairs. Most everyday damage is straightforward to fix.
How do I prepare for installation day?
Clear the fence line of potted plants, furniture, and debris. Ensure we have access to the work area. Mark sprinkler heads or other items we should avoid. Secure pets indoors or in an area away from the work zone.
