Chevy Chase, MD
Super Fabrications fences the close-in blocks of Chevy Chase — spaced picket and low iron along Connecticut Avenue's side streets, privacy runs behind the older colonials, and clean vinyl where new construction meets old lots. Montgomery County permits apply, we file them for you, and the estimate is free on your property.
Fence installation in Chevy Chase
Chevy Chase streets run close to the sidewalk, so front fences here stay low and open. Scalloped wood picket along the walk, black iron or aluminum at the garden, and gaps left where the hydrangeas spill — that is the vocabulary of these blocks. Six-foot privacy lives in the rear, closing patios on streets off East-West Highway.
Many lots back to a neighbor's garden with barely a tree between, so the rear run does real work. We build board-on-board where the sightline needs closing and shadowbox where both yards deserve a finished face. Line posts go in plumb and deep, and the finished side faces out wherever the boundary is shared.
Chevy Chase favors the classics: wood fence installation in spaced picket and shadowbox, plus wrought iron fence installation — usually in aluminum, which gives the same open face without the maintenance cycle.
Repair and replacement
Older Chevy Chase fences fail politely: pickets rot at the bottom rail first, iron sections loosen at their anchors, and gates sag a half inch each winter. We replace the failed boards, re-anchor the metal, and square the gates. When a wood run is past repair, we rebuild it on the same boundary in the same style.
Rotted bottom rails and split pickets replaced to match the existing profile and paint line.
Bent pickets straightened, anchor bolts renewed, and rust spots prepped before the finish goes back on.
When repair no longer adds up, we remove the old run and rebuild the boundary in the same style.
Recent work
Below are sections our crews have set near the DC line — a picket run following a front walk, an iron line under mature shade, and a scalloped top dressed to the porch. Each job started with a free on-site estimate and ended with a walkthrough at the fence, not a phone call.
Cost
Chevy Chase lots are small, but access is tight and expectations run high, so pricing stays in the Montgomery County band. Typical planning ranges: wood privacy $30 to $60 per linear foot installed, vinyl $40 to $70, and aluminum open fence $40 to $75. Your estimate confirms the number for the actual footage.

Permits
Every Chevy Chase fence needs a Montgomery County permit from the Department of Permitting Services — there is no fence-too-small exception. Residential height tops out at 6 feet 6 inches, and fences within 15 feet of a corner hold to 3 feet above the curb. Sections near the DC line follow the county rule on the Maryland side.
Pools need a 5-foot barrier with self-closing, self-latching gates. Miss Utility marks underground lines before we dig — the locate is free and required by law. Rules change, so we confirm current requirements with DPS when we prepare your estimate, and we build any review time into the schedule up front.
FAQ
Yes. Montgomery County DPS permits every fence, residential heights cap at 6 feet 6 inches, and corner sections hold to 3 feet above the curb within 15 feet. We file the application and build review time into your schedule.
Typical planning ranges land at $30 to $60 per linear foot for wood privacy, $40 to $70 for vinyl, and $40 to $75 for aluminum, installed. Small lots mean fewer feet, not always lower totals; your estimate confirms it.
Low open picket sits comfortably inside county rules. Heights well under the cap and open pickets keep sight lines clear, and corner sections near the curb stay at 3 feet. We flag any section that needs adjusting before material is ordered.
Yes. We copy picket spacing and top profiles from the existing run, match iron picket weight, and finish new boards to blend. Where only half the boundary failed, we splice new sections into the old line so the repair disappears.
