Silver Spring, MD
Super Fabrications fences Silver Spring's mixed fabric — board-on-board privacy behind downtown rowhomes, chain link along Colesville corridor lots, and wood runs in the older bungalow streets. Montgomery County permits apply to every fence; we file them, call Miss Utility, and estimate free on your property.
Fence installation in Silver Spring
Silver Spring packs townhomes, bungalows, and mid-century ramblers into a few square miles, and each takes a different fence. Narrow rear yards off Georgia Avenue want board-on-board privacy that blocks without eating width. Larger lots toward Colesville and White Oak run longer wood or chain link lines at a lower cost per foot.
Shared boundaries are the norm here, so we build from your plat and set the finished face by agreement. Where a townhouse patio opens onto an alley, we place gates for trash day and bike storage, not just for symmetry. The walkthrough happens with you at the fence, and punch-list items get fixed before the crew leaves.
Silver Spring buyers weigh price per foot first: wood fence installation covers most privacy needs, while chain link fence installation secures long rear lines and side yards for less. Vinyl earns its premium where owners want zero upkeep.
Repair and replacement
Density is hard on fences: trash day scrapes gates, bikes bump rails, and storms find the weakest panel on the block. We straighten sections, replace broken boards and pickets, and re-hang gates on new hardware. When half a run is gone to rot, we quote a same-line replacement instead of chasing repairs down the line.
Sagged hinges replaced, latches re-aligned, and posts re-set so the gate closes on the first swing.
We pull the failed run, haul it away, and rebuild the boundary with fresh posts in one planned visit.
Cracked or wind-caught vinyl panels replaced with matching color and rail style.
Recent work
Work near Silver Spring runs from tight patio enclosures to long rear-lot lines, and the photos below show both. Every crew arrives with the permit file, the Miss Utility ticket, and the stakes we set with you — the same sequence whether the fence is forty feet or four hundred.
Cost
Silver Spring pricing follows Montgomery County, with footage doing the heavy lifting. Typical planning ranges: wood privacy $30 to $60 per linear foot installed, vinyl $40 to $70, and chain link well under both. Your estimate confirms the number — footage, gates, grade, and any removal the old fence needs.
| 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
A permit is required for any fence in Silver Spring — Montgomery County's Department of Permitting Services issues it, residential height caps at 6 feet 6 inches, and corners hold to 3 feet above the curb within 15 feet. Townhouse associations may add their own review on top, so bring those guidelines to the estimate.
We file the county paperwork, schedule the free Miss Utility locate, and sequence the job: design on site, permit, locates, materials, install, walkthrough. Pool yards must keep the 5-foot barrier with self-closing, self-latching gates. Rules change, so current requirements get verified with DPS before every project.
FAQ
Yes — any fence needs a Montgomery County permit, filed with DPS. Residential height tops out at 6 feet 6 inches, and corner sections stay at 3 feet or lower above the curb within 15 feet. The application work stays on our desk, not yours.
Wood privacy generally lands between $30 and $60 per linear foot installed, vinyl between $40 and $70. Low aluminum frontages usually come in between $40 and $75. Your free on-site estimate confirms the number for your footage, gates, and access.
Board-on-board or shadowbox wood gives privacy without the solid weight of a stockade wall, and slim posts save width. We plan the gate where the alley or side gate actually gets used, then confirm the line from your plat.
Yes, and it happens often here. We meet you both at the line, confirm the boundary from the plat, and quote one invoice or two — your choice. A shadowbox style alternates boards so neither yard faces the back side.
Permit review and the Miss Utility locate set the timeline, and both run on outside schedules. We sequence the job at the estimate — design, permit, locates, materials ordered, scheduled install, walkthrough — so you always know which step comes next.
