One documented Pecos residential cedar-fence job was priced at $3,750 in 2026. It covered 53 linear feet of six-foot side-by-side fencing with a walk gate, two different finishes, trim on part of the fence, and additional post work. This is one actual project example, not a standard price per foot or a promise of the same price for another property.
Linear footage matters, but two fences with the same footage can have very different material and labor requirements. Below is what went into that example and what changes a quote.
A real 53-foot Pecos cedar project
The completed scope included a 21-foot front section with six-foot side-by-side cedar, a dark prestained finish, 1x4 face trim, and a four-foot walk gate. The 32-foot backyard section used six-foot side-by-side cedar left unstained, with two additional existing posts reset. The homeowner price was $3,750 for that combined scope in 2026.
This was a mixed-scope job, not a standalone 53-foot straight run. It included gate construction and selective structural work; dividing $3,750 by 53 would produce a misleading universal per-foot price. Prices change with supplier costs, labor, access, site conditions, and selected details.
Style changes material quantity
Side-by-side uses fewer pickets than board-on-board. Cap-and-trim details, kickboards, taller fencing, and premium finishes also change material requirements.
Posts and structure matter
Post type, spacing, fence height, rail count, gate loads, and soil conditions affect the structural scope behind the visible pickets.
Gates can change the price quickly
A walk gate, double-drive gate, steel-framed gate, or automated entrance is not priced like ordinary fence footage because each needs framing, posts, hardware, and adjustment.
Site conditions affect labor
Demolition, old concrete, tight access, slopes, retaining walls, trees, pools, irrigation, and haul-off can all change the amount of work required.
Frequently asked questions
How much was the 53-foot Pecos cedar project?
The documented 2026 homeowner price was $3,750 for 53 linear feet of six-foot side-by-side cedar, a four-foot walk gate, mixed prestained and natural finishes, trim on the front section, and two additional post resets. Another job will price differently.
Does Pecos price every cedar fence by the foot?
Footage is part of pricing, but Pecos also accounts for style, height, gates, demolition, access, grade, structure, and finish.
Is board-on-board more expensive than side-by-side?
Usually, because it requires more pickets and can add weight and labor.
Can Pecos quote from photos?
Photos can help with early scope, but a site visit is often needed to confirm measurements, grade, access, gates, existing conditions, and structural details.
