Wood starts near $26/ft, vinyl near $42/ft, and aluminum near $36/ft installed in Arlington (2025 averages). Short rear spans mean total job cost tracks gates and haul-away more than panel brand. A 30-ft alley line can still hit four figures when you add a walk gate and old fence removal.

Affordable means identical scope on every bid: same length, height, gate count, and removal. Wood at $26/ft is the entry point; vinyl at $42/ft trades upfront cost for lower staining work. Ergeon offers monthly financing on qualifying projects after online quote approval.
Repair scope ranges from replacing a few pickets to swapping a leaning post. Full replacement often makes sense when posts are rotted at the concrete line on older alley fences. Ergeon handles install and repair; ask for repair pricing separately if only one section failed.
