Standalone fence removal in Louisville typically runs $3-8 per linear foot depending on material and whether posts are set in concrete. It's often more cost-effective to bundle removal into a new installation quote than to price it separately.
Removal cost is a common question for homeowners replacing an aging fence. Here's what drives the price if you're pricing it as its own job.
| Fence Type | Removal Difficulty | Typical Cost per LF |
|---|---|---|
| Wood panel, posts in dirt | Low | $3-5 |
| Wood or vinyl, posts in concrete | Moderate | $5-8 |
| Chain link with concrete footings | Moderate-High | $5-8 |
Pulling boards and rails is quick work. Digging out or breaking up a concrete footing for every post is what actually adds time and cost to a removal job — this is the same footing that made the original fence sturdy, which is exactly why it takes real labor to remove.
Ask us to include removal and haul-away of your old fence as part of a new installation quote. We'll give you a straight answer on cost during your free estimate, and you don't need to clear the old fence yourself beforehand.
It can make sense if you want the old fence gone before your new installation is scheduled. Otherwise, ask your installer for a combined quote — removal bundled with a new install is often more cost-effective than pricing them as two separate jobs.
