How Much Does a Wood Fence Cost in Modesto, CA? (2026 Prices)

We get this question every day: what's a wood fence going to cost me? The honest answer is that it depends on several factors — but here are the real numbers we quote for Modesto, Manteca, Turlock, and surrounding Central Valley cities in 2026.

What Affects the Price of a Wood Fence?

Before we get to numbers, it's worth understanding what drives the cost up or down:

• Linear footage: The single biggest driver. More fence = more cost.
• Height: A 7-foot privacy fence uses more material per panel than a standard 6-foot fence.
• Style: A standard privacy fence costs less than board-on-board or a decorative picket design.
• Old fence removal: If there's an existing fence that needs to come out, that adds labor and disposal cost.
• Gates: Each gate adds cost — for hardware, framing, and installation labor.
• Property conditions: Slopes, tree roots, and rocky soil all add time and cost.
• Material choice: Premium redwood costs more than cedar; both cost more than pine.

Typical Price Ranges for Modesto-Area Fencing (2026)

These are real ranges based on projects we've completed across Modesto, Manteca, Turlock, Riverbank, and Salida:

6-Foot Privacy Fence (Most Common)

For a standard 6-foot cedar or redwood privacy fence with one gate, most residential projects in Modesto and Manteca run between $3,000 and $7,000 depending on footage and site conditions. That includes old fence teardown and haul-away when needed.

7-Foot Privacy Fence

Seven-foot fences are increasingly popular for busy streets and corner lots. Expect to add 10–15% to the total compared to the same linear footage at 6 feet, primarily for additional board material and post height.

Gates

A standard single walk gate typically adds $200–$400 depending on width and hardware. Double drive gates for RV or vehicle access run higher. Gates are also the most common repair item, so investing in quality framing and hardware upfront is worth it.

Fence Repair

Replacing individual posts, rails, or boards — common after wind storms in Riverbank and Salida — typically runs $500–$1,500 depending on extent. We prioritize fence repair calls in the off-season (December through March) when installation schedules allow for faster response.
