Fence FAQs
Straight answers to the fence questions Northern Virginia and Maryland homeowners ask us most — costs, permits, materials, timeline, repair, and removal. Each answer is the same one we give on the estimate.
Answers first
Costs, permits, materials, and timeline. If your question is not here, call (888) 820-6099 and ask.
Most fences here are priced per linear foot, and the material drives the number. Typical planning ranges installed: wood privacy $30–$60 per foot, vinyl privacy $40–$70, aluminum $40–$75, chain link $18–$30. Gates, old fence removal, and grade change move the total. Your on-site estimate confirms the number.
At typical planning ranges of $40–$70 per linear foot installed, 80 feet of vinyl privacy fence lands roughly between $3,200 and $5,600 before gates or removal. A walk gate adds to that. The estimate is free and confirms the exact figure.
It depends on the jurisdiction. Fairfax County generally requires no building permit for residential fences, but zoning rules apply — 4 feet maximum in the front yard, 7 feet in side and rear yards. Arlington County caps fences at 4 feet near public rights-of-way. The Town of Vienna sets heights by yard in its zoning ordinance. We check the rules for your property before we build.
Yes. We check county or town rules, file what the property needs, and call 811 (Miss Utility) so utilities are located before digging. Customers regularly mention Ray handling the permit and the Miss Utility in their reviews.
Wood privacy (board-on-board, shadowbox, stockade, picket), vinyl, aluminum including horizontal styles, chain link in galvanized and black vinyl-coated, ornamental iron, composite fencing from Trex and Simtek, pool fencing, and ranch rail with deer fencing. Automatic gates come as single swing, dual swing, slide, and cantilever.
Most residential installs take one to three days on site once materials arrive. The timeline before that depends on permits, HOA approval, and material lead time. We set the install date after the estimate, the permit check, and the utility locate.
Yes. Old fence removal and haul-away is part of a replacement job. Tell us during the estimate and it goes into the scope and the price.
Both. We repair leaning sections, storm damage, failing posts, and gates that no longer latch, and we replace lines that are past repair. If the repair costs more than a quarter of a new fence, we will say so on the estimate.
