How It Works
Quote Goat, a fence quote service covering northeast Indiana. You enter your address, draw your fence line on a real aerial image of your lot, and submit it — no appointment, no site visit, no salesperson at the kitchen table. What comes back is a written quote: one fixed price for the job.
A vetted local contractor does the work. The agreement you sign later names that contractor and controls the scope, the price, and any change orders.
Three Steps To A Real Quote
The whole process runs in a browser. None of it needs an appointment, a site visit, or a salesperson.
Enter Your Address
We validate your property and pull in high-resolution aerial imagery of your lot.
The validated address is what centers the aerial view, so take a second to check that the roofline and driveway on screen are yours before you start drawing.
Sketch Your Fence
Trace your fence line right on the map. We measure every linear foot and corner for you.
You place the line where you actually want the fence, corner by corner. Length and corner count come off the layout you drew, not off an assumed rectangle. Gates are quoted by how many you want and how wide they need to be — exactly where each one lands is settled with the crew on site.
Get Your Quote
Receive a detailed, contractor-grade quote from our network — no guesswork, no pressure.
The quote covers the fence you drew, in the material and height you picked. Redraw the line as many times as you like before you submit — what you send is what gets priced.
Styles, heights, and materials are all listed on the fencing page if you want to look before you start drawing.
Two Ways To Get A Fence Price
Both routes start in the same place — a homeowner who wants a fence — and both finish in the same place: a written price you can act on. Everything between those two points is the difference.
| Stage | With Quote Goat | The traditional route |
|---|---|---|
| Making the first move | You open the site whenever the thought strikes and enter your address. | The homeowner calls or fills in a form, then waits to hear back about scheduling. |
| Seeing the property | Recent aerial imagery of your lot loads in the browser, in front of you. | A representative drives out at an agreed time to look at the yard in person. |
| Measuring | You draw the fence line, and its length and corners come off the layout you drew. Gates are entered by how many and how wide. | The yard is walked and measured by hand, usually with the homeowner along for it. |
| Picking materials | Style, height, and material are chosen on screen with the layout still in view. | Options are talked through on site from a sample board or a brochure. |
| Getting the number | A written quote for your address, delivered to you — one fixed price. | A written number follows the visit and arrives some time afterwards. |
How long that gap between the visit and the written number actually runs depends on the company and the season. It is the question homeowners ask most, and the advice hub is where we cover it.
Where The Number Comes From
Your price is measured from the fence line you draw on real aerial imagery — not generated from a generic slider range. The layout you trace is the layout that gets priced: the length of every run, and every corner you put in it.
On top of that layout, pricing uses available parcel and elevation data for your address. Where that data resolves for your lot, a long run across a slope is not priced the same as identical footage across flat ground. Where a source has nothing to say about your address, the quote is built without it rather than around a guess.
What no image can show is what sits under the ground. If the crew opens the line and finds rock, an old footing, or something buried that nobody could see from above, the signed agreement is what governs the change. That document, not this page, is where the scope and the price live.
From Quote To Signed Agreement
Requesting a quote does not commit you to purchase the fence or sign the agreement. The sequence from there is short, and it is the same every time.
Preview the quote
You see the price and what it covers before anything is signed.
Review the agreement
It names the vetted local contractor who will build the fence, and it sets out the work in full.
Sign
The signed agreement controls scope, price, and change orders. It is an agreement between you and the named contractor.
Quote Goat prices the job and puts one contractor on it. It does not build anything itself, and it does not hand you a list of companies to work through.
Common Questions
- Do I need an appointment to get a fence quote?
- No. The quote is produced from your address and the fence line you draw, so there is nothing to schedule and nobody has to be home. You can run it at any hour.
- How is the price measured?
- It is measured from the fence line you draw on real aerial imagery — not generated from a generic slider range. Pricing also uses available parcel and elevation data for your address.
- Who actually builds the fence?
- A vetted local contractor. Quote Goat prices the job and puts one contractor on it, and the agreement you sign is between you and that named contractor.
- Can the price change after I sign?
- The signed agreement is what controls scope, price, and change orders, including anything concealed that turns up once work starts. Read it before you sign — it is the document that governs the job.
- Does anyone come out to the property?
- Producing the quote does not require a visit. Anything that has to happen on site is arranged between you and the contractor named in your agreement.
- Do you quote decks and pergolas the same way?
- Not yet. Fencing is the live trade today. Decking and pergola are at waitlist stage, and you can add your county so we can tell you when they open.
- What do I need before I start?
- Your address, and a rough idea of where you want the fence to run. The line can be redrawn as many times as you like before you submit it.
