Maine experiences a cold humid continental climate with long, snowy winters and short, mild summers. The exterior building season is compressed to roughly May through October, and frost lines of 48-60 inches mean deeper footings than most of the country. Coastal fog and salt exposure also drive material choices for roofing, siding, and fasteners. For fence repair projects specifically, this means timing and material selection are key factors in both cost and quality.
Maine's costs are close to the national average, reflecting a balanced supply-demand dynamic in the local construction market.
