Price the run, add the gates

Fencing scales cleanly with length, so quote per linear foot and let the math handle a 100-foot yard versus a 300-foot one. Then add gates, corner and end posts, terrain, and old-fence removal as their own lines — those are the parts that quietly eat a flat bid.

Questions

How much does fence installation cost per linear foot?
Installed fencing typically runs $20–$60 per linear foot depending on material and height: chain link and basic wood at the low end, cedar privacy and vinyl in the middle, ornamental iron at the top. A standard 150-foot backyard runs roughly $3,000–$9,000 installed. Gates, tricky terrain, and post setting add to it.
Should I quote fence by the foot or by the job?
Build it per linear foot so materials and labor scale correctly, then give the customer one flat installed price. Add separate line items for gates, corner posts, and hauling the old fence so nothing gets done for free.
