Kent sits on the flat valley floor south of Seattle, where older river-bottom neighborhoods meet a working warehouse district, and fences matter more than most homeowners realize. Your property line, your security, your privacy, and your pool safety all depend on a fence that's built right and maintained honestly.
Seattle Fence Pros has served Kent and the surrounding Seattle area since 2016. We install and repair wood, vinyl, chain link, and ornamental metal fences, plus gates and automatic driveway gates. Our team handles both residential and commercial work in ZIP 98031, and we show up with the same crew every time, not a rotating roster. When your fence needs attention, you get a straightforward assessment, a fair price, and work that lasts.
Fencing in Kent (98031)
Kent's mixed housing stock, from single-family homes in older neighborhoods to commercial properties along the warehouse corridor, means we see a wide range of fence jobs. Older wood privacy fences are common in residential areas, where property lines run close and neighbors value their privacy. Commercial properties and rental compounds often need chain link or temporary fencing that can handle heavy use and frequent access. The flat terrain here is actually an advantage for fence installation: post holes dig clean, and racking or stepping the fence line is rarely necessary. What does matter is proper post spacing, concrete setting, and drainage at ground level, because moisture damage to posts is the most common repair we make in this region.
We've been installing and repairing fences in Kent since 2016. We're AFA Member Installers (American Fence Association), fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation, and we work from the customer's existing survey to place your fence exactly where you want it. Before we dig, we always call Washington 811 to locate underground utilities.

How a Fence Job Works in Kent
Step 1: Free On-Site Assessment. Call us at (425) 696-3219 or contact us online. We'll schedule a time to walk your property, look at what you have now (if anything), talk through what you want, and check for any obvious issues like drainage, access, or HOA rules that might affect the job. We ask questions about your property line, the condition of existing fence if you're repairing, and whether you need gates. This is where we also remind you that fence height, setback, and material rules vary by zone and neighborhood, so we recommend checking with the Kent building department or your HOA before we start. We give you a free estimate on the spot or within 24 hours.
Step 2: The Work. Once you approve the estimate, we schedule the job. Our crew handles all the prep: we call 811 to mark utilities before we dig any post holes. We set posts in concrete at proper spacing (typically 6 feet for privacy fence, 8 feet for chain link), ensure they're plumb, and let concrete cure before we hang rails and pickets or mesh. Whether you choose wood, vinyl, chain link, or ornamental metal, we install it to hold. If you're in a commercial area or need temporary fencing, our insured crews handle that work too. We respect tight lot access and work around existing structures.
Step 3: Cleanup and Walkthrough. We haul away all debris, old fence material, and excavation spoil. We walk the fence line with you, point out what we've done, answer questions, and make sure you're satisfied before we leave. Your property is clean and your fence is ready to work.
Pricing for fence work in Kent depends on the material you choose, the length of the run, and whether you're installing new or repairing existing. Wood privacy fence starts at $34 per linear foot; vinyl runs from $46 per foot; chain link from $21 per foot; and ornamental metal from $52 per foot. Repairs start at $525, and pool fence installation is $40 per foot. Automatic driveway gates start at $3,200. The most common variables that affect cost are fence height, post spacing, soil conditions (digging in clay or gravel changes labor), whether the terrain is level or needs stepping, and the condition of any existing posts or concrete. If you need a gate, we factor in the gate size, whether it needs self-closing hardware or an automatic operator, and access for the gate to swing or slide. We give free estimates and we're transparent about what we're quoting and why. Call (425) 696-3219 to schedule your free on-site assessment.
