FAQ
Lee's Summit fence installation FAQs.
- In 2026, fence installation in Lee's Summit runs $44–$66/lf for 6 ft cedar privacy, $58–$88/lf for 6 ft vinyl, $52–$92/lf for ornamental aluminum, and $20–$42/lf for chain link. Lakefront and corner-lot projects run higher due to LS sight-triangle requirements and view easements. Every Kodiak LS quote is itemized — posts, lumber grade, gates, tear-out, permit.Link to this answer
- Yes. Lee's Summit requires a fence permit ($40–$60) for nearly all new fences. Corner lots and lakefront lots have additional sight-triangle and view-easement requirements. Pool fences must be 6 ft with self-closing/self-latching gates per MO state pool code. We pull every LS permit on your behalf — included in our quote.Link to this answer
- Most LS residential installs finish in 1–3 days on-site once the city permit is issued. Lead time from signed contract to install start is 2–4 weeks during the spring/summer rush, faster in fall/winter. LS permit turnaround averages 5–7 business days.Link to this answer
- Western Red Cedar with steel posts and black aluminum are the two most popular LS installs. Cedar handles Jackson County's humid summers and freeze-thaw winters when stained every 3–5 years. Aluminum is essentially maintenance-free and pool-code compliant. Vinyl is a strong third for absolute zero-maintenance — especially the Lakewood/Raintree Lake crowd.Link to this answer
- Minimum 36 inches — below the Jackson County frost line — in 4,000 PSI concrete. For 8 ft fences add 6 inches. Heavy clay across LS means anything shallower leans within a season or two. We default to galvanized steel posts for cedar because wood posts in dirt are the #1 cause of premature fence failure in LS.Link to this answer
- Yes. We prepare submittal-ready material specs, color samples, and elevation drawings for Raintree Lake, Lakewood, Hawthorn Hill, Eagle Creek, Chapman Farms, Highland Pointe, and other LS HOAs. Many keep pre-approved stain SKUs — we have them on file. We won't dig until both city and HOA approve in writing.Link to this answer
- Lee's Summit enforces a 30-inch maximum fence/object height inside the 30 ft × 30 ft triangle measured from the curb intersection on corner lots. We design the fence layout around it — stepping down to a 30″ section or using open ornamental panels through the triangle — and submit pre-approved site plans with every corner-lot permit.Link to this answer
- Yes. LS and Missouri state pool code require: 6 ft minimum height, self-closing + self-latching gates that latch on the pool side, no climbable horizontals facing the pool, and no openings larger than 4 inches. We default to 5–6 ft black aluminum ornamental with MagnaLatch hardware for pool installs.Link to this answer
- 10 years on workmanship — the longest in Eastern Jackson County — plus full manufacturer material warranties (lifetime on vinyl panels and aluminum powder-coat). Transferable to the next homeowner. Written warranty document delivered at install walkthrough.Link to this answer
- Yes. We tear out and haul existing fences as part of most installs — typically $5–$10/lf for wood and chain link with concrete footings. Listed as a separate line on every quote so you can compare contractor bids apples-to-apples.Link to this answer
- Yes. We offer 12–84 month financing on LS installs. Application is sent at quote time — most decisions are instant. Common scenario: a $9,200 cedar install on 84 months runs roughly $145/month at competitive APR.Link to this answer
