Whether you’re looking to add a decorative touch, increase privacy, or secure your yard, we provide the perfect solution with strong materials and expert craftsmanship.

Wood fences offer a perfect blend of natural beauty and functionality. Whether you choose pressure-treated lumber for long-term durability or the rich, warm appearance of cedar, wood provides an aesthetically pleasing solution for enhancing curb appeal and securing your property. Our fences are built to withstand the elements, with options designed to resist rot, moisture, and insect damage. We also offer a variety of styles, including dog-ear, gothic, horizontal, and concave designs, allowing you to choose the perfect fit for your home’s aesthetic.

1. Consultation & Estimate

We start with a free consultation, during which we take measurements, walk the property with you, and discuss your needs. Based on our discussion, we provide a detailed quote that covers all the options you’ve chosen for your fence.

2. Zoning, Permits & Prep

Before installation, we handle all necessary paperwork. In Hampton Roads, fences don’t require a building permit unless they’re around a pool, but zoning approval is always needed. Once you approve the quote, we’ll take care of:

• Calling Miss Utility
• Obtaining zoning approval
• Getting a building permit if the fence is for a pool
• Scheduling the installation

3. Demolition

If an old fence is in place, we carefully demolish and remove it before starting installation. This step ensures we’re working with a clean slate.

4. Layout & Post Setting

We lay out the fence line, square it, and mark the positions for the posts. Holes are dug, and posts are set according to code to ensure stability and long-term durability.

5. Custom Fence Construction

We build each fence board-by-board, rather than using pre-made panels. This method ensures a straighter, stronger, and more durable finish, providing you with a customized, high-quality fence.

6. Gates & Completion

Gates are custom-built to match the style of your fence, installed with durable hardware for long-lasting functionality. Final adjustments are made to ensure everything aligns properly.

7. Final Inspection (If Required)

If a permit was needed, we’ll schedule the final inspection once construction is complete, ensuring that your fence meets all local regulations.

Timeline

Most standard fences are completed in 2–3 days, depending on the size, material, and design complexity. We work efficiently to get your new fence up as quickly as possible while maintaining quality craftsmanship.
