An online fence quote in minutes, not days. Homeowners draw on satellite view or enter measurements, and get a price built on your own pricing.
How the Fence Estimator Works

Homeowners who do not know their exact property measurements can draw their fence line directly on a satellite image of their address:
- No tape measure required to get started
- Automatic length calculation as they draw
- Drag points to adjust the fence line and add gates exactly where they go
- Works on mobile or desktop
Manual Measurement Entry
Homeowners who already have their measurements can skip straight to entering them:
- Faster path for repeat or referral homeowners
- Same instant-quote output
- Fewer steps between visit and quote
Instant, Itemized Quote

- Your fence styles, materials, and gate options
- Your pricing structure and margins
- Delivered to your dashboard as a qualified lead

What Homeowners Do in the SmartFence Fence Quote Calculator

What to Look for in an Online Fence Estimator
Not every fence quote calculator is built to win leads for a contractor.
Your pricing, not an average
Generic fence cost calculators use national averages. SmartFence prices every quote from your materials, labour rates and margins, so the number homeowners see matches what you would quote.
Drawing and manual entry
Most homeowner fence estimators only offer a drawing tool. SmartFence offers both, so homeowners who already know their lengths, or already have a competitor's quote, don't have to redraw anything.
On your website, not someone else's
SmartFence installs with a JavaScript embed, so the estimator runs on your own pages and works with Google Analytics, Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity and your ad tracking. See how embeds compare with links and iframes.
Leads that arrive qualified
Every lead includes fence type, measurements, options and budget, so your team calls buyers instead of tire-kickers. Leads flow into the SmartFence dashboard and can be exported by CSV or API.

Why an Instant Quote Beats a Callback Request
A "request a quote" form asks a customer to wait, often for days, before they know if a fence is even in their budget. Many never hear back in time and choose a different contractor.
The SmartFence estimator gives homeowners a number immediately. They can compare options, adjust their fence line, and see pricing change in real time. By the time they submit their contact information, they already know roughly what the project costs, which means your sales team is talking to a genuinely interested buyer instead of chasing a cold form submission.

Fence Estimator: Common Questions

How accurate is an online fence quote from SmartFence?
The estimate is generated from your own pricing structure, materials, and margins, so it reflects real numbers rather than a generic industry average. Because it is a preliminary estimate rather than a formal in-person quote, most contractors present it as a starting point that gets confirmed after a site visit or measurement check.
Do homeowners need to know exact measurements to get a quote?
No. Homeowners can draw their fence line directly on a satellite view of their property if they do not know exact measurements, or enter measurements manually if they do. Both paths lead to the same instant quote.
Can the fence estimator be embedded on my existing website?
Yes. The estimator installs on your existing site with a JavaScript embed, without requiring a new website build.
Is SmartFence a fence cost calculator for homeowners?
SmartFence is built for fence contractors. Homeowners use it on your website to get an instant estimate for your company's fences, priced from your own settings, rather than a generic national-average fence cost calculator.
When does the homeowner enter their contact details?
At the last step, just before they see the instant estimate. Asking after the homeowner has built their project means fewer drop-offs at the start and leads that arrive with every project detail filled in.
