How to Estimate Your Fence Cost in 5 Minutes

At Gifford Fence Company, we believe in transparency. We have historically been the only fence company in the Orlando area to post pricing directly on our website.

Follow this simple 3-step guide to use our online fence calculators and get an accurate estimate for your project in minutes.

Step 1: Measure Your Footage Using Google Maps

You don't need a tape measure to get a solid estimate. The easiest way to find your linear footage is by using the measurement tool on Google Maps:

Search Your Address: Type your address into Google Maps.
Zoom In: Get as close as possible while keeping your entire property visible.
Set Your Start Point: Right-click exactly where you want your fence to begin and select “Measure Distance.”
Trace Your Fence Line: Click each corner or "change point" along your desired fence line. Google will automatically add up the total footage.
Get Your Total: Once you click your final point, look at the bottom of the screen for the Total Linear Footage.

Step 2: Choose Your Fence Material

Head over to

and hover over the Fence Calculator link in the main menu. You can choose from three specific calculators:

Step 3: Input Your Project Details

Fill in the following fields to generate your instant quote:

Linear Footage: Input the total number you received from Google Maps.
Fence Option: Select the specific style (e.g., Privacy, Picket, or Shadowbox).
Single Gates: Enter the number of standard walk-through doors (usually 4’ or 5’ wide).
Double Gates: Enter the number of large openings for vehicles or trailers (usually 8’ or 10’ wide).
Tear Out: If we are replacing an old fence, input the linear footage here. If it's a new build, leave this at 0.

Understanding Your Quote

Once the details are filled in, the green box will display the estimated dollar figure for your project.

Note: This number is a standard price-per-foot estimate. While it is highly accurate for most jobs, final pricing may shift slightly based on unique site conditions, such as extreme slopes or difficult underground obstructions.

Compare and Save

The best part? You can swap between our Aluminum, Vinyl, and Wood calculators using the same measurements to see which material best fits your budget.
