DIY Guy Builds a Fence with Pros

I spent two days Building a Fence with Pros in this first-ever DadBuilt DIY pro ride-along.
You don't want to miss this one!
I joined Nate & Cam LaVasseur of Vasseur Fencing on a job where we built a 6-foot vinyl privacy fence. They showed me the ins and outs of their craft and shared valuable tips for both DIY and Professionals alike.

Outstanding looking fence! I do have a question and I know a lot of different things play into this but what was the total build cost for this?

[@DadBuiltDIY]

Thank you for the kind words. For everything, it was at 16K (12K materials, 4K labor). I know there would be cheaper quotes out there, but as I learned from Nate and Cam, a lot of time those cheaper quotes come with corners getting cut.
As with so much these days, the costs makes your eyeballs pop - but I do know that the neighbor was quoted 14K for an aluminum fence for roughly the same size yard. And I would think of a vinyl privacy fence as a much higher quality product.
I appreciate you watching and commenting!
