How many quotes should I get for a fence job in Cape Coral?

At least three. In the permit record the middle half of Cape Coral fence firms usually file between $2,750 and $5,000 a job, so two ordinary firms can sit 1.8 times apart and both be normal for Cape Coral. A third quote shows which one is the outlier. Filed values are what contractors wrote on permits, not quotes, so use them to judge the spread, not to price your own job.

How much do fence companies charge in Cape Coral?

The usual fence job is filed at $4,235; the middle half of firms usually file between $2,750 and $5,000. The 10 firms with the most permits in the last 12 months usually file $4,400, about the same as the usual. See every firm's usual job

Why is this different from the per-foot prices I see online?

Online prices are quoted per foot. A filed value is one number for the whole job on one permit, often many feet plus the work around them, and the Cape Coral file does not record how many each job covered, so we can't turn $4,235 into a price per foot.

Do bigger houses get bigger bills?

In the file, yes for the firms: those working on the upper third of homes by value usually file $4,550, the lower third $4,500. That is firms, not single jobs.
