Quick answer

Is my fencing quote too high?

Upload the quote and QuoteScore scores it 0 to 100 against regional pricing benchmarks, line by line, free and with no signup. Across the 66 fencing quotes QuoteScore has scored, 30.3% scored under 50, meaning at least one line was priced above the normal market range for that job and region, so ask for a line-item breakdown before signing. Rule of thumb: 65 or higher is within the normal range, 50 to 64 is worth one competing bid before you sign, and under 50 has specific overpriced lines to negotiate by name.

Before you sign a fencing quote

A fencing quote usually lists linear feet of fence by height and material, posts and post setting, gates by count, removal of the old fence, the permit and utility locate, and labor. QuoteScore reads the quote you already have, as a photo, a PDF or pasted text, splits it into those lines and compares each one against the regional benchmark range for that item, then returns a 0 to 100 fairness score that names the lines priced above market.

Of the 66 fencing quotes scored so far, the average fairness score is 60.4 out of 100 and 30.3% scored under 50, which means at least one line was priced above the normal market range for that work and region. The count updates as new quotes are scored.

The lines that most often push a fencing quote above market are a per-foot price well above the regional range for the material and height, gates priced as a large flat add-on, post spacing wider than the material calls for, and no linear footage stated. Before you sign, ask for the linear footage and height, the material grade and post spacing, and the price per gate.

The check is free, needs no signup, and the file is deleted the moment the analysis completes. A score under 65 comes with the specific lines to negotiate and the benchmark range each one was measured against, so you can disagree with it.
