New home owner who has never had to hire a contractor before. Want to have chain link fence replaced and want to have put in white vinyl fence to match connected town home.

It is just a 40 foot length I need replaced and will need to have one gate. As I get quotes, what kind of price should I expect to pay? What’s considered fair and what’s considered a rip off?

EDIT: Thanks for all the feedback! I think I’m not in the right tax bracket to hire people to do this, so probably going to try to do it myself.

    Labour and materials depends on your country and location. Do you need to pay a bribe permit to local government as well? Will the neighbour on the other side pay half? Does it need to be painted?

    Get a few quotes, ask for references of other fences they’ve built, and compare locally.
