Straight, current pricing for wood-plastic composite cladding and fence in the LA market — and how buying stocked material from our Chatsworth showroom compares to a fully installed job.
WPC (wood-plastic composite) gives you the warm look of wood without the rot, fading, or yearly upkeep. The catch most homeowners hit is price — a fully installed composite project in Los Angeles can run well into five figures. The biggest lever is simple: buy the material from a local stocking supplier and skip the distributor markup and long lead times. Here's what that looks like in real numbers.
Our HLC-49 boards are 8-5/8″ wide and cover about 6 sq ft per 108″ board after the standard overlap. That puts WalPanel material at roughly $5.90 / sq ft — well under typical installed composite cladding.
| Option | Typical cost | What's included |
|---|---|---|
| WalPanel WPC board (material) | ~$5.90 / sq ft | $35.36 per 108″ board · stocked, same-day pickup |
| Installed composite cladding (market) | $8–$20 / sq ft | Material + labor, varies by brand & site |
| Natural wood siding (installed) | $4–$14 / sq ft | Cheaper up front, but rots, fades & needs refinishing |
Our fence kits are $248 per 6 ft × 6 ft bay (aluminum top and hardware included) — about $41 / linear foot in material. An installed composite fence in Los Angeles typically runs $90–$130+ / linear foot, and Trex material alone often starts around $60+ / ft.
| Option | Typical cost | What's included |
|---|---|---|
| WalPanel WPC fence kit (material) | ~$41 / linear ft | $248 per 6×6 set · posts & hardware included |
| Trex / composite material (retail) | $60+ / linear ft | Material only, before install |
| Installed composite fence (LA) | $90–$130+ / linear ft | Material + labor; hillside/access can add $20–$40/ft |
Four things move the number most: quantity (volume pricing kicks in on larger cladding orders), length & color (108″ vs 114″ boards, stocked vs special-order colors), delivery (local delivery is quoted per job within ~60 miles, or pick up same-day in Chatsworth), and installation (DIY, your own contractor, or one of our WalPanel Pros). Because we stock locally and sell factory-direct, the material line is where you save the most.
