Fencing in Memphis?

[Grayfox54]

The last round of storms damaged my 30+ year old 6 ft wooden back fence. Its gonna have to be replaced. 

Anybody know or can recommend a good fencing company that won't break the bank?

Depends on the aforementioned bank. I don’t know any fencing company that won’t break the bank, but that’s all a matter of perspective. 
I’m having to put up some fence now, but I’m doing it all myself. Even the lumber alone is expensive. 
Come to think of it, I’ve been no help at all to you this morning.

Ten years or so ago I would have done it myself. But I've gotten old and decrepit. Can't do that sort of stuff anymore. It sucks to get old. 

Its only 90 feet, but the one estimate I've gotten so far is $3500.  I'm looking for alternatives.

You might consider a "non-traditional" source.  My mom used to have her yard taken care of by a couple of Memphis fireman who had a side-hustle doing such things.  Pretty sure they put up her wooden fence or did some of kind fence work for her.  In other words, landscapers/lawn care types might be able to help, and there's no shortage of those guys.

The pro fence/deck people are going to kill you.  There is a side gig guy out there who will do just as good or better work for a lot less.  The problem is finding that guy (usually by word of mouth).  A friend and I used to build fences on the weekend.  I've built a lot of fences and hope I'm done with all that lol.  I've driven delivery trucks, cut grass, and done HVAC in the attic all summer when it's 95F outside, but the closest I've ever come to a heat stroke was the day I set 44 posts at our new house.  That was 20 years and two rotator cuffs ago.

Check your local facebook area groups. I have What's happening in Horn Lake, Southaven Happenings. Hernando Happenings, Desoto County Happening, Walls Happenings, Olive Branch Happenings. Always someone posting about the work they do at good savings. Someone wants work done cheaper that others. May find someone that will do your work cheaper, just ask.

4 years ago I would be out there replacing it myself. Today my sewer is stopped up, due to tree roots. Will need help getting an auger to clear the pipe and it's return to Home Depot.

A former Bartlett, TN police officer put my fence up a few years ago and did a very good job.  He is a good friend of my grandson.  I can check to see if he is still doing fence work.

I asked my grandson about his friend the former Bartlett Police Office and he said he believes he is still doing fencing.  I thought I had his number but I don't.  I will be seeing my grandson this afternoon and will get a number for you to call if you wish.  Have a great Easter Sunday.
