Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

A rotted cedar post or a wind-flattened panel does not fix itself before the next storm rolls in off the Sound. One Seattle fencing contractor alone has logged over 2,000 Google reviews, and every name on this page holds a 4.9 or better, so the real work is matching the crew to your yard, not hunting for someone decent.

Short answer: The top-reviewed fencing contractor in Seattle is Cool Cat Fence (4.9 stars across 2,040 Google reviews), with Everguard Fence Materials, Optima Fence and Deck, Contour Fence, and Rain City Fence rounding out the list, all rated 4.9 or 5.0. Financing is available at several shops, and most offer a free on-site estimate before any work starts.

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data as of the verified date, not opinion or payment. Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Seattle-area fencing contractors. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 built on thousands of reviews counts for more than one built on a few dozen. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does a fence cost in Seattle? (2026)

Fencing costs in the Seattle area depend heavily on material, fence height, lot access, and whether an old fence needs to be torn out first. Ask each company for a written, itemized estimate before committing, since none of the businesses on this page have published a public rate card we can verify.

Serving Seattle and the Eastside

The contractors above cover Seattle proper along with the wider Puget Sound area, including Tukwila, Bellevue, Kirkland, and Mercer Island. Searching for a fence installer near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number and website so you can request a quote directly.

What to ask before you hire a fencing contractor

  • Are you licensed, bonded, and insured in Washington?
  • Is the estimate a flat, written quote, and does it include old-fence removal and disposal?
  • What warranty do you offer on materials and labor?
  • How do you handle sloped lots, tree roots, or property-line disputes?
  • What is the expected timeline once materials are ordered?
  • Do you offer financing, and what are the terms?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these fencing contractors?

We started from fencing contractors and suppliers operating in the Seattle area with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (July 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Do I need a permit to build a fence in Seattle?

Depending on height and location, Seattle may require a permit, especially for fences over 6 feet or near the street. Ask your contractor to confirm and, if needed, pull the permit before work starts.

How long does a fence installation take?

Several contractors on this page report finishing a standard residential fence in one to a few days once materials are on site, though larger or more complex lots can take longer.

The bottom line

Cool Cat Fence is the safe default given its scale and detailed, consistent reviews, while Rain City Fence stands out for tricky, sloped, or obstacle-heavy lots. Whoever you call, get the written estimate and confirm what happens to the old fence before work begins.
