Annandale, VA
Annandale's postwar neighborhoods are full of fences reaching retirement age, and Super Fabrications replaces and repairs them — wood shadowbox, vinyl, and black aluminum across Fairfax County. We quote repair honestly against replacement, pull permits where required, and haul the old line away. Licensed VA Class A contractor, free on-site estimates.
Fence installation in Annandale
Annandale built out in the fifties and sixties, and the original lot logic still works: long rear lines between modest colonials and ramblers, alleys behind some blocks, mature pines along the back corners. The fence that fits is usually six-foot wood privacy — shadowbox where neighbors share a line, solid board-on-board where a cut-through road needs blocking — set on new posts rather than spliced onto old ones.
Vinyl has taken the second wave: white and tan privacy panels that never need staining, matched across streets where the first vinyl adopters set the tone. Aluminum handles the front walks and pool corners, and chain link survives in the utility corners where it always did. Replacement jobs here often improve the layout — moving the gate off the drain swale, squaring the run to the true line instead of the old wander.
Replacement work here leans on wood fence installation for value and vinyl fence installation for the streets that have already gone low-maintenance.
Repair and replacement
Annandale's mid-century fences are mostly at the end of their posts' lives. We separate the repairable third from the finished two-thirds and quote both without padding.
Sound-post sections get new boards and straight posts at a fraction of replacement cost.
Full replacement includes old-fence removal, haul-away, and a layout that finally fits the yard.

Permits
Annandale fences follow Fairfax County rules: generally no building permit for residential work, front yards capped at 4 feet — 7 feet on lots of 2 or more acres, 6 feet by variance — and side or rear runs up to 7 feet, with corner lots treating both street yards as fronts. The Land Development Services Permit Application Center is the county's office for the exceptions. We confirm the zoning picture for your parcel during the estimate visit.
Replacement work adds two steps new fences skip: the old line comes out and gets hauled, and the new posts land on the same footprint only if the plat confirms it — fences drift over decades, and the legal line wins. Miss Utility at 811 marks buried utilities free before digging, and pool barriers follow Virginia's 48-inch rule with self-latching gates.
FAQ
Fairfax County generally requires no building permit for an Annandale fence; zoning limits still apply — 4-foot front yards, up to 7 feet on sides and rears, and front rules across both street-facing yards on corners. We confirm with the county and clear any association review before materials are ordered.
Replacement pricing in Annandale runs wood privacy at $30–$60 per linear foot installed, vinyl at $40–$70, and black aluminum at $40–$75, with old-fence removal quoted from what actually stands there. A typical planning range, not a quote — your estimate confirms the number.
The posts decide. Sound posts with cracked boards make a repair day; heaved or rotted posts across the run mean the fence is done, and patching it just schedules the same argument for next year. We pull a test post during the estimate and price both paths with real figures.
Only if the old line matches the plat — fences wander over decades of repairs. We locate the legal corners, stake the true line, and flag any gap or overlap with the neighbor before posts go in. Most Annandale replacements sit within inches of the old fence anyway.
Yes — removal and haul-away are proposal line items, and the debris leaves with the crew, not in your driveway for a week. Concrete footings get pulled with the posts. The yard gets raked before we consider the job finished.
