In Baltimore, MD, Ergeon fence projects average about 2.4 weeks from quote approval to completion. On a clear lot, crews install about 60 linear feet per day, so a 100-foot run is usually 1 to 2 days on site and a 200-foot run is about 3 to 4 days. Tight rear-alley access on rowhomes, wet Mid-Atlantic weeks, extra gates, and permit timing when required are what stretch the calendar more than the material brand.
Ergeon's Baltimore city FAQ lists about 2.4 weeks as the average from approved quote to finished fence. Marketing on that page also frames many jobs as complete within about 3 weeks once the schedule is locked. Short alley runs can finish in under a day of crew time at the 60-feet-per-day pace, which tracks with the city's short average project length.
Posts go in concrete, and framing can often start the same day. Avoid leaning on new posts during the cure window. For how materials hold up after install, see Ergeon's what fence lasts longest guide.
Rowhome rear alleys, limited haul-away space, and neighbor access around Canton, Hampden, or Federal Hill add time. Dense vegetation, steep slopes, rocky soil, and extra gates also slow crews. When a local permit is required, calendar time can stretch beyond the on-site install window before crews dig.
Build a weather buffer into spring and late-fall quotes. Confirm alley access and haul-away on the video walkthrough so the crew is not blocked on day one.
Longer runs and heavier packages take more on-site days at the same 60-feet-per-day pace.

Average project cost on the city page is about $3,585 across 80 completed projects since 2020.

Most Maryland cities ask for a site plan when a fence permit is required. A certified survey often runs $1,000 to $3,000, and you usually do not need that level unless the city specifically asks for a certified or stamped drawing. Ergeon can generate a permit-ready, GIS-based site plan in about 15 minutes for $29, using the same tool it relies on for its own permit filings.
