Potomac, MD
Super Fabrications builds estate fencing across Potomac — ornamental iron and black aluminum along MacArthur Boulevard, long privacy runs behind River Falls properties, and gates that open from a keypad at the drive. We handle Montgomery County DPS permits, call Miss Utility first, and estimate free on your property.
Fence installation in Potomac
Potomac properties run long, and the fence has to carry the distance. Along MacArthur Boulevard and the lanes off River Road, black ornamental iron and aluminum frontages frame stone columns and mature plantings. Behind the house, privacy runs in wood or vinyl close the pool terrace and the play yard from the neighboring acreage.
Estate work is really gate work. Driveway gates swing or slide between masonry piers, pair with pedestrian gates at the garden path, and open by keypad or remote when you pull in. We set the gate posts deep, hang the leaves on adjustable hardware, and tune the operator before the walkthrough — so the first open is as smooth as the hundredth.
Estate lots give room for every material: wrought iron fence installation at the frontage, aluminum fence installation around pools and gardens, and wood or vinyl privacy behind. We price the mix line by line so each boundary gets the fence it needs.
Repair and replacement
Long runs fail at specific points: the gate posts move first, then the sections nearest big trees. We re-set leaning estate gates, replace storm-cracked privacy panels, and service operators that stopped responding to the keypad. On iron and aluminum we straighten bent pickets; on wood runs we replace boards before rot spreads along the rail.
Hinges adjusted, operators reprogrammed, and keypads rewired so the drive opens on the first try.
Downed sections and cracked panels rebuilt with matching material after summer and winter storms.
Self-closing gates re-set and barrier heights corrected to match the 5-foot barrier requirement.
Recent work
Estate photos speak plainly: gates hung square between stone columns, aluminum wrapping a mature tree, and one long run holding its line across the grade. Our crews set these on property where access, trees, and masonry all demand care — the same planning we bring to your estimate.
Cost
Potomac estate work prices by the mix — frontage, privacy, and gates each carry their own figure. Typical planning ranges: aluminum open fence between $40 and $75 per linear foot installed and wood privacy $30 to $60, with ornamental iron and driveway gates quoted line by line. Your estimate confirms the number across the full run.

Permits
Potomac addresses permit through Montgomery County's Department of Permitting Services — a permit is required for any fence, with residential height capped at 6 feet 6 inches. Corner and street-fronting sections drop to 3 feet above the curb within 15 feet of the corner. Long drives and gate piers near the road right-of-way get measured early so the design clears those limits.
Pool properties must hold the 5-foot barrier with self-closing, self-latching gates, and Miss Utility marks underground lines before any digging — the call is free and required. Estate gates, masonry piers, and long runs add layout time, not permit surprises. Rules change, so we confirm current requirements with DPS when we quote.
FAQ
Yes. Montgomery County requires a permit for any fence through DPS. Heights cap at 6 feet 6 inches for residential runs, and street-facing sections near a corner stay 3 feet or lower above the curb. We manage the application.
Plan $40 to $75 per linear foot for aluminum and $30 to $60 for wood privacy, installed, with ornamental iron and driveway gates quoted separately. Long runs and gate work add footage quickly; your estimate confirms the total.
Yes — we measure pier openings, order gate frames to fit, and hang the leaves on posts set beside the masonry. Where piers have shifted over the years, we shim and adjust hinges so the gate closes square again.
Four to five feet keeps an open fence in scale with a deep lawn, and aluminum holds a straight sight line at that height. Where the frontage meets a corner, the 3-foot curb rule applies within 15 feet of the intersection.
We service gates and operators — hinges, keypads, and control wiring are normal work for our crews. If an operator is obsolete, we quote a replacement that matches the existing gate frame instead of selling a whole new system.
