How to read three bids

Ask every crew for the same job in writing: height, material, posts (set in concrete or not), gates, haul-off, permit. If one bid is $4k and two are $9k, you probably don’t have three bids. You have one different fence.

Fair pricing on Our Nabo means the neighbor thought the number matched the work — not that it was the lowest in the valley.

When you share what you paid, put the spec in the job line: “164 ft cedar, 6 ft, one gate.” That’s the whole point of a neighborhood file. Same street, same HOA spec, comparable number.
