Buffalo unit pricing by material
Ways to lower your Buffalo price
- Get three bids: fence pricing spreads 20–40% between contractors in the same ZIP.
- Build in the off-season (late fall or winter) when crews are hungry for work.
- Share the cost with a neighbor on a shared property line — many split 50/50.
- Keep the run straight and simple; every corner, gate and grade change adds labor.
- Choose 4-foot picket instead of 6-foot privacy where privacy is not needed to cut roughly 15%.
- Do the demo and brush clearing yourself to save $3 to $5 per foot.
- Buy the material yourself only if the pro allows it — most get volume discounts you cannot match.
