Fence Installation Process

Straightforward Installation, Professional Results

We start with a property assessment to confirm boundary lines and discuss your specific needs—privacy, security, aesthetics, or all three. This prevents surprises later and ensures you get exactly what you’re envisioning.

Next, we handle the permit process and coordinate with local utilities for any necessary markings. Most homeowners don’t realize how many steps happen behind the scenes, but we manage all of it so your project stays on schedule.

Installation begins with precise post placement and proper foundation work. We use materials rated for Connecticut weather conditions and install everything to manufacturer specifications. You’ll see the difference in how straight everything lines up and how solid it feels when complete.

Do I need a permit for fence installation in New Fairfield?

Most fence installations in New Fairfield require permits, especially for fences over four feet tall or those near property lines. The specific requirements depend on your fence height, location, and proximity to streets or neighbors. We handle the permit application process as part of our service, ensuring everything meets local building codes and zoning requirements. This prevents delays and potential issues with the town later. Getting permits upfront also protects your investment and ensures your fence won’t need modifications after installation.
Most residential fence installations take 1-3 days depending on the length, terrain, and fence type. Simple straight-line installations on level ground move faster than complex layouts around landscaping or sloped areas. Weather can affect the timeline, particularly for concrete setting and finishing work. We provide realistic timeframes during your consultation and keep you updated if conditions require schedule adjustments. The key is proper planning and preparation—rushing fence installation often leads to problems that cost more to fix than doing it right the first time.
Connecticut’s freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal weather extremes require materials that can handle temperature fluctuations and moisture. Vinyl fencing offers excellent durability with minimal maintenance, while pressure-treated wood provides natural aesthetics with proper care. Aluminum works well for decorative applications and won’t rust like iron. Chain link remains the most economical option for large areas. The best choice depends on your priorities—maintenance requirements, appearance preferences, and budget. We recommend materials based on your specific situation rather than pushing the most expensive option.
Property line accuracy is crucial for fence installation, and we take several steps to ensure proper placement. We review existing surveys when available and can recommend professional surveying if boundaries are unclear. Installing a fence on the wrong property line creates legal issues and expensive corrections later. We also discuss fence placement with you before installation—some homeowners prefer installing slightly inside their property line to avoid any boundary questions. Clear communication with neighbors before installation often prevents disputes and maintains good relationships in the community.
Our fence installation includes site assessment, permit handling, material delivery, complete installation, and cleanup. We mark utilities, set posts with proper concrete footings, install panels or boards according to manufacturer specifications, and add gates where needed. The service also includes minor grading around posts and restoration of disturbed areas. We provide written estimates that detail exactly what’s included so you know what to expect. Our goal is delivering a complete fence installation without surprise costs or additional work needed after we finish.
Fence installation costs vary significantly based on materials, length, terrain, and complexity. Basic chain link fencing starts around $15-25 per linear foot, while privacy fencing ranges from $25-50 per linear foot depending on materials and height. Vinyl and aluminum fencing typically costs more upfront but requires less maintenance over time. Challenging terrain, gates, and custom features add to the base cost. We provide detailed written estimates after assessing your specific property and requirements. Investing in quality installation and materials typically costs less long-term than dealing with repairs and replacements.
