Rockville, MD
Super Fabrications builds and repairs fences throughout Rockville — vinyl privacy runs in King Farm, wood enclosures in Fallsgrove, and black aluminum along the older streets near Town Center. As Montgomery County's seat, Rockville runs its own permit office; we manage that application and start every project with a free estimate on your property.
Fence installation in Rockville
Rockville blends city blocks and subdivision lawns, and the fence that fits one rarely fits the other. Around King Farm and Fallsgrove, 6-foot vinyl privacy closes townhouse patios and backs onto pocket parks. Off Veirs Mill Road, longer wood runs tie detached homes to their rear property lines. Rockville's mix of town-style homes and detached colonials keeps both styles busy on our schedule. We quote the run, the gates, and the grade as one number, and corner-side sections near the older street grid get checked against the curb rule the same day.
The streets west of Town Center favor open fence. Black aluminum at 4 feet frames the front garden without hiding it, and it meets the sidewalk cleanly on shallow lots. Where a yard backs toward the stream valleys, we build the run in racked panels so the pickets follow the slope instead of stepping over it. Gate hardware is adjustable by design, so a leaf that settles in spring comes back to square with a wrench, not a rebuild.
Rear lot lines here often sit against a neighbor's patio, so the boundary gets confirmed from your plat before the first hole is dug. If the survey plat is missing, we plan a locator visit before materials are ordered, and the layout is staked where you can see it. Posts go in below the county's frost depth, panels are leveled in the yard rather than on a bench, and the walkthrough happens with you at the fence on the day the crew finishes.
Two choices dominate Rockville backyards: vinyl fence installation for owners who never want to paint, and wood fence installation in board-on-board for a lower up-front number. We bring samples of both to the estimate and price the same footage in each, so the vinyl-versus-wood decision comes with real numbers, not guesses.
Repair and replacement
Rockville's twenty-year-old subdivisions are hitting fence age at the same time, so the calls rhyme: rotted wood posts, vinyl rails popped by freeze-thaw, and gates sagging on their hinges. Gate drops and latch misses are the fastest repairs we make. We reset, replace, and square those sections, and gate hardware gets swapped to adjustable hinges so the fix holds for years instead of one season. When storm damage or rot covers more than about a quarter of the run, we say so and quote replacement instead of chasing boards.
We pull the failed post, pour fresh concrete below frost depth, and hang the section back level, with the old concrete out on the same truck.
Old fence out, haul-away included, and the new run goes back on the same boundary with fresh posts.
Cracked pickets and split rails replaced board by board when the rest of the run is still sound, and the section reads as original from the sidewalk.
Recent work
Crews from our Vienna base work the I-270 corridor weekly, and the panels below were set and hung by them — the same crew that measures your yard builds it. Miss Utility tickets, permit files, and stakes set with you travel with every truck. The owner walks every finished line before we call the job done, and if the estimate changes anything on that walk, the quote changes the same day, in writing.
Six-foot tan panels closing a side yard, chosen to hold their color without an annual staining cycle, with rails routed to shed water.

Cost
Montgomery County labor shows up in Rockville numbers, but the range stays workable. Most wood privacy fences land between $30 and $60 per linear foot installed, vinyl between $40 and $70, and black aluminum between $40 and $75. Your estimate confirms the number once we measure footage, count gates, and check what removal the old fence needs. Front-of-house aluminum quotes smaller than a full privacy run, and nothing on the invoice arrives unmeasured.
| Wood privacy (per linear foot, installed) | $30–$60 |
|---|---|
| Vinyl privacy (per linear foot, installed) | $40–$70 |
| Aluminum open fence (per linear foot, installed) | $40–$75 |
| Walk gate | $600–$1,500 |
| Old fence removal | Quoted on the estimate |

Permits
Rockville sits in a rare spot: the city runs its own permit office rather than sending you to Montgomery County's Department of Permitting Services. Fences inside city limits need that city permit; addresses just outside the corporation line apply through DPS instead. Either way, a permit is required for any fence in Montgomery County, residential height caps at 6 feet 6 inches, and we know both offices' forms, so the application goes in complete the first time.
Corner lots follow the county rule — 3 feet maximum above the curb within 15 feet of the corner — and pools need a 5-foot barrier with self-closing, self-latching gates. Both offices answer the same height and corner rules, so the fence design never changes with the filing route. We file the application, schedule around the Miss Utility locate, and keep permit time off your calendar. If your address sits near the corporation line, we confirm which office holds the file before anything is submitted, and current requirements get re-checked when we quote.
FAQ
Yes — and inside city limits you apply to Rockville's own permit office, not county DPS. Any fence needs a permit in Montgomery County. Residential height tops out at 6 feet 6 inches, and we manage the paperwork as part of your job. Review comments, if any, get answered by us, not you.
Plan roughly $30 to $60 per linear foot for wood privacy and $40 to $70 for vinyl, installed. Open aluminum fence most often runs between $40 and $75. Those are typical planning ranges; the free on-site estimate confirms the number for your footage and gates.
Six feet 6 inches is the residential cap in Montgomery County, and corner sections drop to 3 feet above the curb within 15 feet of the intersection. Height is measured from grade at the fence line, and we check the low spots where a yard dips. If you need screening above the cap, evergreen planting is the route we suggest instead.
Yes. Lots are shallow and lines sit close, so we build from the plat, check community association guidelines where one applies, and often run 6-foot vinyl on the rear only. Narrow access means gate placement is planned before materials are ordered, and panel widths are chosen to fit the carry path.
Yes — removal and haul-away are part of a replacement quote. We tear out the old run, load it for the truck, and leave the line clean before the new posts go in. Disposal never lands on your driveway, and the quote covers the whole job.

Ray was awesome! He was very knowledgeable and got everything permitted and had the project pushed through very fast. The install crew also did an amazing job. Fast precise and did a final walk through to make sure everything was installed correctly. The fence looks incredible and my experience with this company was definitely 5/5.
