What’s different about Lewiston
Lewiston has a lower cost of living and smaller contractor pool, with heavy snow and freeze-thaw cycles shaping roofing and drainage needs.
- Posts are set below the frost line, which deepens the holes and adds concrete.
- Salt-air corrosion favors vinyl, aluminum, or coated fencing.
How the cost is built
Fence cost depends on linear footage, height, and material — chain-link and wood are cheaper, while vinyl, aluminum, and composite cost more. Gates, sloped or rocky terrain, post setting in concrete, and tearing out an old fence all raise the price.
