What services do your fence contractors offer? 

Our professional fence contractors offer the installation of fences and gates as well as fence repair.


Do I need a fence permit?

The Department of Buildings regulates the building and installation of fences. For one- or two-family dwellings, DOB does not require permits for fences 6-ft or less in height.


Do I have to be home during the installation process? 

We request that you are home to meet our crew upon arrival. Although you do not need to be home during the installation process, we ask that you remain easily accessible in case we need to get in contact.


How tall can a fence be?

Check with the Department of Buildings for your local regulations. Our fence contractors can give you insight on-site.


Can a fence follow a downhill slope?

Most aluminum fencing can follow a slope. Other fencing types or severe slopes may require specially fabricated fencing that will cost more than normal fencing.


How long does it take to install a fence?

Normally, it takes us a few days to a week to install fences. This allows ample time for cement posts to cure. It can be longer or shorter as well depending on the type of fencing and length of the area being fenced in. However, installation of your fence depends on several factors including the size of the project, the type of fence being installed. Our fence contractor can give you a more accurate timeline for your project.


What fencing brands do you carry?

We proudly carry a wide inventory of top fencing brands including Ameristar, Jerith, Interstate Vinyl, Power Master, FAAC, and Hy-Security.


What types of fencing do you install and repair?

How do I know if my fence needs repair? 

There are several signs indicating you need fence repairs including:


  • Leaning- If your fence is leaning to one side there may be structural damage. A repair should be completed in a timely manner to prevent damage to your property or your neighbor's property. 
  • Missing boards- Missing boards can compromise the security of your fence as pets and small children can escape, and wildlife and intruders could use this space to access your property. 
  • Rust or corrosion- Rust or corrosion can weaken the integrity of your fence. If you notice rust or corrosion, you may need repairs.
