Hiring guide
How to vet a fence contractor in Kansas City.
Most fence problems we fix were avoidable — shallow posts, wood in dirt, no warranty in writing. Use this 6-point checklist before you hire any KC fence contractor (us included).
Verify license & insurance
Ask for a current Certificate of Insurance (COI) with general liability AND workers' comp. If the contractor pushes back, walk away — you're liable if their worker gets hurt on your property uninsured.
Get a written, itemized quote
Reject flat per-foot guesses over the phone. A real KC fence contractor measures on-site and itemizes posts, lumber grade, gates, tear-out, and permits separately.
Confirm post depth & material
36″ minimum depth in 4,000 PSI concrete — below the KC frost line. Galvanized steel posts for wood; aluminum/vinyl posts cored in concrete. Shallow posts = leaning fence in year two.
Get the workmanship warranty in writing
Industry standard is 1 year. We give 10 in writing. If a quote doesn't include a written warranty document, you have no warranty.
Check Angi / Google reviews — recent ones
Look for 4.8★+ across 50+ reviews from the last 12 months. Old 5-star reviews don't reflect today's crew. Read the 3-star reviews to see how they handle problems.
Confirm permits & HOA are included
KCMO, Overland Park, Olathe, Lee's Summit, Leawood all require permits over 4 ft. A pro pulls them included in the quote — you should never be sent to city hall.
Red flags
Walk away if a KC fence contractor does any of this.
- Cash-only pricing or 'discounts for paying full upfront'
- No proof of insurance or refuses to provide a COI
- Verbal quote without an on-site measurement
- Wood posts set directly in dirt (not concrete) on cedar fences
- Post depth less than 36″ in KC clay
- No written workmanship warranty
- Quote that doesn't itemize materials, labor, gates, tear-out
- Unmarked truck, no business address, brand-new LLC with no review history

FAQ
Kansas City fence contractor FAQs.
- Kansas City fence contractors typically charge $18–$85 per linear foot installed in 2026, depending on material. 4 ft chain link runs $18–$28/lf, 6 ft cedar privacy $42–$65/lf, 6 ft vinyl $55–$85/lf, and black aluminum ornamental $48–$80/lf. Always get an itemized quote — flat per-foot phone quotes from any KC contractor are a red flag.Copy link to this answer
- Start with Angi and Google reviews — look for 4.8★+ across 50+ recent reviews. Verify the contractor is licensed in your city (KCMO, OP, Olathe, Lee's Summit all require it) and carries general liability AND workers' comp insurance. Ask for a COI before signing. Get a written, itemized quote — not a per-foot guess. Confirm post depth (36″ minimum in KC) and workmanship warranty in writing.Copy link to this answer
- Yes in most KC metro cities. KCMO, Overland Park, Olathe, Leawood, Lenexa, Shawnee, and Lee's Summit all require contractor registration or licensing for fence work over 4 ft. Pulling a permit without a licensed contractor on the application will get the install red-tagged. We're licensed in every metro municipality we work in.Copy link to this answer
- Yes for most installs. KCMO requires a permit for fences over 4 ft. Overland Park, Olathe, Lee's Summit, Leawood, Lenexa, Shawnee, and Blue Springs all require one too. Pool fences require 6 ft with self-closing/self-latching gates everywhere. We pull every required permit on your behalf — it's included in our quote, never an extra line item surprise.Copy link to this answer
- A typical residential privacy or ornamental fence in Kansas City takes 1–3 days on-site once permits are approved. Larger lots, custom gates, or steel-post construction can run 4–5 days. Permit turnaround in the KC metro is usually 5–10 business days — Olathe and Lee's Summit are fastest, KCMO is slowest.Copy link to this answer
- Western Red Cedar and black aluminum are our two most popular Kansas City installs. Cedar handles humid summers and cold winters when stained every 3–5 years; aluminum is essentially maintenance-free and won't rust through KC's freeze-thaw cycles. Vinyl is a strong third for homeowners who want absolute zero maintenance. Avoid pressure-treated pine for long-term privacy — it warps in KC humidity.Copy link to this answer
- Minimum 36 inches — below the KC frost line — in 4,000 PSI concrete sized to the post and fence height. For 8 ft fences add 6 inches. Heavy clay across the metro means cutting corners on depth leads to leaning posts within a season or two. This is the #1 reason cheap installs fail in years 2–3.Copy link to this answer
- Yes. We regularly prepare submittal-ready material specs, color samples, and elevation drawings for HOA architectural review boards across the KC metro — especially in Overland Park, Leawood, Olathe, Mission Hills, and Lee's Summit. Many HOAs have pre-approved stain SKUs and we keep those on file.Copy link to this answer
- Yes. Kodiak Fence Co. is fully licensed in every metro municipality we work in, carries general liability insurance, and covers every crew member with workers' comp. We provide a current certificate of insurance on request before any work begins — and you should ask every contractor you consider for the same.Copy link to this answer
- We service the entire KC metro — both sides of the state line — and regularly travel up to 60 miles for farm and acreage work in Lawrence, Topeka, Spring Hill, Smithville, Platte City, and Pleasant Hill. Outside the metro? Ask and we'll let you know with a free phone quote.Copy link to this answer
- Industry standard in KC is a 1-year workmanship warranty (verbal) plus the manufacturer warranty on materials. Kodiak offers a 10-year written workmanship warranty on every install — meaning we come back and fix it free if a post leans, a gate sags, or a board fails from our build. Always get the warranty in writing.Copy link to this answer
- Six must-ask questions: (1) Are you licensed in my city and can I see a COI? (2) Is your quote written and itemized? (3) How deep do you set posts? (4) What's your workmanship warranty in writing? (5) Do you pull the permit? (6) Can you share 3 recent references in my neighborhood? If a contractor stalls on any of these, move on.Copy link to this answer
- Yes — get 2–3 written quotes. But compare them line-by-line, not just total price. A $7,500 quote with 36″ steel posts, 10-year warranty, and permits included beats a $5,800 quote with 24″ wood posts and a verbal 1-year warranty every time. The cheap quote almost always costs more by year 5.Copy link to this answer
- Yes. We tear out and haul existing fences as part of most installs — typically $5–$10 per linear foot for wood and chain link with concrete footings. Always get the old-fence removal listed as a separate line on your quote so you can compare apples-to-apples between contractors.Copy link to this answer
- Yes — we handle storm-damage claims for State Farm, American Family, Allstate, Liberty Mutual, Farm Bureau, and most KC carriers. We provide itemized estimates in the format insurers expect, document damage with photos, and coordinate timing with adjusters. Most homeowner policies cover wind damage to fences (typically with depreciation).Copy link to this answer
- The Kansas City metro fence market is served by a handful of established contractors — Kodiak Fence Company, Guier Fence, Kansas Fencing, Reddi Fence, Patriot Fence, KC Royal Fence, Total Home Fence & Deck, and Slagle Fence among them. They mostly install the same materials (cedar, vinyl, aluminum, chain link); the real differences show up in written warranty length, post depth + concrete spec, who pulls the permit, whether HOA submittal is included, and whether the crew is in-house or subcontracted. Kodiak's differentiators are a 10-year written workmanship warranty (longest in the metro), 36″ steel-and-concrete posts, in-house KC crews, and free HOA + permit handling.Copy link to this answer
- Yes — locally owned and operated, with KC-based crews who live in the metro. Licensed in both Kansas and Missouri, insured for $2M, A-rated on Angi with 5-star verified Kansas City reviews. We pull every permit ourselves, handle HOA submittal at no charge, and never subcontract installs to out-of-town crews.Copy link to this answer
