We Know This Area

Fence Installation Process

Here's How We Handle It

First, we come out and look at your property. We’ll discuss what you need the fence to do, check your property lines, and talk through material options that make sense for your situation and budget.

Next, we handle the permit paperwork if needed and order your materials. We schedule the installation around your timeline and Connecticut weather because nobody wants a half-finished fence sitting in their yard for weeks.

Installation day, we show up with the right equipment and get to work. We dig proper post holes, set everything level and square, and clean up when we’re done. You get a fence that’s built to last and a yard that’s ready to use.

You get a written estimate upfront with no surprise charges later. Materials are ordered specifically for your project, and we coordinate delivery so you’re not storing fence panels in your driveway for weeks.

We also handle fence repairs and replacements for existing fencing that’s seen better days. Sometimes you need the whole thing replaced, sometimes just a section. We’ll tell you honestly which situation you’re dealing with.

How long does fence installation take in Litchfield County?

Most residential fence installations take 1-3 days depending on the length and terrain. Weather can affect the timeline since we need decent conditions for digging post holes and setting concrete. We schedule projects with buffer time built in so you’re not left hanging if Connecticut weather doesn’t cooperate. Linear feet, material type, and property conditions all factor into the timeline, but we’ll give you realistic expectations upfront rather than promising something we can’t deliver.
It depends on your specific location and fence height. Most towns in Litchfield County require permits for fences over 6 feet, and some have setback requirements from property lines. We handle the permit research and applications as part of our service because local requirements vary significantly between municipalities. Some areas also require property surveys before installation, especially if there’s any question about boundary lines. We’ll walk you through what’s required for your specific property and location.
Vinyl and aluminum hold up best to Connecticut’s freeze-thaw cycles and humidity, but they cost more upfront. Pressure-treated wood is still popular and more budget-friendly, but expect to stain or seal it every few years. Cedar naturally resists rot and insects but needs maintenance to keep its appearance. We don’t recommend untreated wood or cheap composite materials – they don’t last in our climate. The right choice depends on your budget, maintenance preferences, and how long you plan to stay in the property.
Posts need to go below the frost line, which is typically 42 inches deep in Litchfield County. Rocky soil conditions in many areas require special equipment and techniques for proper post hole digging. We set posts in concrete for stability, especially in areas with clay soil that expands and contracts with moisture changes. Proper post depth and setting is critical – shortcuts here lead to leaning fences within a few seasons. We know the soil conditions throughout the county and adjust our installation methods accordingly.
Yes, but it requires different techniques depending on the slope and your preferences. We can step the fence sections to follow the terrain or rack the panels to follow the slope angle. Stepped installations work better for privacy fences, while racked installations look more natural for decorative fencing. Steep slopes may require additional grading or retaining wall work before fence installation. We’ll assess your property conditions and recommend the best approach for both function and appearance.
Cheaper estimates usually cut corners on post depth, hardware quality, or permit compliance. Some contractors use lighter-gauge materials or skip the concrete setting to save time and money. Others lowball the estimate then add charges for “unexpected” conditions that any experienced contractor should anticipate. Our pricing reflects proper installation methods, quality materials, and realistic labor time. You’re paying for a fence that stays straight and secure for years, not one that needs repairs after the first winter.
