How Durham Fence Guide works
Durham Fence Guide is a referral service, not a fence contractor. We publish plain guides to fence costs and rules in Durham, and when you ask for a quote we pass your request to one fence company.
Quote requests are not open yet. We are still choosing the fence company that will receive them.
Who pays us
The fence company pays us when it wins a job from one of our referrals. You pay us nothing. Your price is agreed between you and the company, and you are free to get other quotes.
We will name the fence company that receives requests on this page.
How we choose the company
Before we send a single request, we check that the company:
- carries general liability insurance and shows us a current certificate;
- holds a North Carolina general contractor license whenever the size of a job requires one;
- gives written quotes and written contracts;
- has a public track record we can read, such as Google reviews and a Better Business Bureau profile;
- agrees to contact every homeowner within one business day.
If a company stops meeting these, we stop sending it requests.
Why one company, not several
Some quote sites pass the same request to several companies at once, so the phone rings all afternoon. We send each request to one company. If you want more quotes, we encourage you to get them.
What happens to your details
- We send the details you give us to one fence company, only so it can contact you about your project.
- We do not sell your details or use them for anything else.
- You can ask us to delete your details at any time.
We are not taking quote requests yet, so this site holds no personal details. A contact email for questions and deletion requests will be listed here when requests open.
How the guides are written
Every rule and price on this site links to the page it came from, usually the City of Durham, Durham County, the State of North Carolina or a national cost guide. The pages were last checked in October 2026. Rules and prices change, so confirm anything important with the City of Durham or Durham County before you build.
The guides were researched and drafted with the help of AI tools. Every rule and price links to the page it came from, so you can check it yourself.
Durham Fence Guide is an independent referral service based in the Triangle.
