Pick a material, a rough length and your gates for a typical Atlanta-area budgeting range, the Johns Creek permit fee and notes on what will move the price. No contact details needed, and the result updates as you go.

## Estimate your fence

## How the estimate works

The tool multiplies your length by a typical Atlanta-area installed range for the material: $20 to $30 per linear foot for a 6 ft wood privacy fence, $20 to $40 per linear foot for vinyl, $25 to $50 per linear foot for aluminum or ornamental and $8 to $24 per linear foot for chain link. It then adds $150 to $600 for each walk gate and $3 to $7 per linear foot to tear out and dispose of an old fence. These are budgeting ranges, not Upright Johns Creek Fencing's rates.

Ground, slope, height and style each add a note saying whether they push the job toward the high or low end. There is no defensible way to turn those into percentages, so the tool does not. Ornamental steel, horse and farm fence and driveway gates are priced per project, so for those it explains the factors instead of giving a number.

The permit line uses the City of Johns Creek Community Development fee schedule, which lists the residential fence permit at $75. A permit is required for new and replacement fences. Other cities set their own fees, which are confirmed for the address. The [Johns Creek permit guide](https://uprightjohnscreekfencing.com/guide/johns-creek-fence-permit/) covers the process.

## What the range leaves out

- A boundary survey, if the line needs one
- HOA application fees
- Staining a wood fence once it has dried
- Sprinkler, landscape or hardscape repair along the line
- Driveway gates, gate operators and masonry columns
