How to actually pick the best fence company
"Best" gets thrown around a lot. Here's what separates a top-tier Kansas City fence contractor from one that'll be off your call list in two years:
Ask about post depth.
Anything less than 36 inches in KC clay will heave by year three. Get it in writing.
Read the warranty.
A real workmanship warranty is 5+ years, written, and covers labor — not just the panels.
Check the quote line items.
Concrete per post, post material, gate hardware, permit fee — all should be itemized. Lump sums hide corners cut.
Confirm permits are pulled.
The contractor — not you — should pull the city permit and handle HOA approval. If they punt, that's a red flag.
Verify insurance.
Ask for a current Certificate of Insurance. General liability and workers' comp, both current.
Look for local reviews, not just star count.
Read recent reviews mentioning specific KC neighborhoods. Generic 5-star clusters can be bought; detailed neighborhood reviews can't.

Frequently asked questions
- Kodiak Fence Co. is consistently rated among the top fence companies in the Kansas City metro, with hundreds of 5-star reviews, a 10-year written workmanship warranty, full KS + MO licensing, and 24/7 availability. We install wood, vinyl, aluminum, and chain link across both states.Copy link to this answer
- Four things separate the best fence companies from the rest in Kansas City: (1) posts set 36 inches deep in concrete below the frost line, (2) a real written warranty of 5+ years, (3) the contractor pulls permits and handles HOA approval, and (4) the quote is itemized in writing before any deposit.Copy link to this answer
- In 2026, quality fence installation in the KC metro runs roughly $42–$65 per linear foot for cedar privacy, $55–$85 for vinyl, $48–$78 for aluminum ornamental, and $18–$32 for chain link. Beware quotes well below these — they usually mean shallow posts, untreated lumber, or no warranty.Copy link to this answer
- Yes — get at least 2–3 written, itemized quotes. Compare post depth, post material (steel vs wood vs concrete), wood grade (#1 cedar vs #2), warranty length, and whether permits are included. The cheapest quote is rarely the best value.Copy link to this answer
- Yes. We install fences across the entire Kansas City metro — Overland Park, Olathe, Lenexa, Shawnee, Leawood, Prairie Village, Lee's Summit, Independence, Blue Springs, Liberty, Gladstone, Kansas City KS, and Kansas City MO.Copy link to this answer
- Most residential fence projects in Kansas City are completed in 1–3 days once permits are issued. Typical lead time from signed contract to install start is 2–4 weeks during the busy spring/summer season, faster in fall and winter.Copy link to this answer
- Yes. 12–84 month financing on every install. Application sent at quote time — most decisions are instant. No prepayment penalty.Copy link to this answer
- Spring and fall are peak demand, so winter is often the fastest time to schedule and lock in current pricing before spring increases. We install year-round in KC.Copy link to this answer
- 10 years on workmanship — the longest in the KC metro — plus full manufacturer material warranties. Transferable to the next homeowner.Copy link to this answer
- Yes. Overland Park, Olathe, Leawood, Lenexa, Shawnee, Mission, Prairie Village, Lee's Summit, Blue Springs, Independence, Liberty, Gladstone, KCMO and KCK — same crew, same pricing, same warranty.Copy link to this answer
- Yes — avoid contractors who: ask for more than 30% deposit upfront, won't provide a Certificate of Insurance, can't show recent KC-metro reviews with specific neighborhood names, give verbal-only quotes, use 24-inch (instead of 36-inch) post depths, don't pull permits, or pressure you to sign 'today only' for a discount. All six are signs of a contractor that won't be around to honor a warranty.Copy link to this answer
- Ask for a current Certificate of Insurance naming you as additional insured (general liability + workers' comp). Verify licensing by city — Overland Park, Olathe, Lenexa, Prairie Village, and most JoCo cities maintain online occupational license lookups. Kodiak provides COI within 1 business day of request and holds occupational licenses in 12+ KC cities.Copy link to this answer
- A licensed fence company carries insurance, pulls permits, runs W-2 crews trained on KC frost-line specs, and stands behind a multi-year written warranty. A handyman is typically uninsured, doesn't pull permits, and offers no warranty. For anything over $1,500 (most fence jobs), the savings on a handyman quote often disappear in the first cold-winter heave or storm-damage callback.Copy link to this answer
- The best ones do — Kodiak prepares the full HOA architectural submittal at no charge (elevation drawing, material spec, color sample, plot plan). This matters in Leawood, Overland Park, Lenexa, Lee's Summit, and Olathe where almost every HOA requires ARC approval before the city will issue a permit.Copy link to this answer
- Five reasons: (1) 5.0 stars across 250+ verified Angi reviews — actual KC homeowners, not buy-able star clusters; (2) 10-year written workmanship warranty — longest in the metro; (3) owner-led W-2 crews — same hands from quote to walkthrough; (4) licensed in KS + MO with 12+ city occupational licenses; (5) we pull every permit and handle every HOA submittal for free. Compare any KC competitor on those five and the gap is clear.Copy link to this answer
