Fence Installation Process

Straightforward Installation, Professional Results

We start with a site visit to assess your property, discuss your needs, and identify any potential issues like utilities or drainage. This isn’t a sales pitch – it’s a real evaluation of what your project requires.

Next comes the planning phase where we handle permit requirements, confirm property lines, and schedule the work around your timeline. We coordinate with utility marking services and address any HOA requirements upfront so there are no surprises later.

Installation day means professional crews with the right equipment and materials. We prep the ground properly, set posts to the correct depth and spacing, and install your fence sections with attention to gates, hardware, and finishing details. The job isn’t done until cleanup is complete and you’re satisfied with the results.

How long does fence installation typically take in Shelton?

Most residential fence installation projects in Shelton take 1-3 days depending on the size and complexity. A typical backyard privacy fence can often be completed in a single day, while larger properties or projects involving significant grading may take longer. Weather conditions and permit processing can affect timing, but we provide realistic schedules upfront and communicate any changes. We don’t rush installations because proper post setting and alignment are critical for long-term performance, especially with Connecticut’s freeze-thaw cycles.
Shelton requires permits for most fence installations, particularly for fences over 4 feet in height or those near property lines. The permit process typically takes 1-2 weeks and requires a site plan showing fence location, height, and materials. We handle the permit application process as part of our service, including coordinating with the building department and ensuring compliance with local zoning requirements. Some HOA communities have additional restrictions, so we verify all requirements before starting any work.
Vinyl and composite fencing perform exceptionally well in Connecticut’s climate because they don’t absorb moisture, won’t rot, and handle temperature fluctuations without warping. Quality wood fencing like cedar can also work well with proper installation and maintenance. The key is proper post installation below the frost line and adequate drainage around fence lines. We avoid materials and installation methods that don’t account for frost heave, ice loading, and the expansion-contraction cycles that occur throughout Connecticut winters and summers.
Fence installation costs vary significantly based on materials, property conditions, and project size. Basic chain link fencing typically starts around $15-25 per linear foot installed, while privacy vinyl or wood fencing ranges from $25-50 per linear foot. Factors affecting cost include site preparation requirements, permit fees, gate installation, and any grading or utility work needed. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for without surprise charges later.
Yes, we regularly handle fence installation on sloped properties throughout Shelton’s varied terrain. Sloped installations require different techniques like stepped or racked fence sections, additional grading work, and sometimes custom post lengths. The approach depends on the degree of slope and your aesthetic preferences. Some slopes may require retaining wall work or drainage considerations to ensure long-term fence stability. We evaluate terrain challenges during the initial site visit and factor any additional requirements into our estimate.
We provide warranty coverage on both our installation workmanship and materials, though specific terms vary by project type and materials used. Installation warranty typically covers post stability, proper alignment, and gate function for at least one year. Material warranties depend on the manufacturer but often range from 10-25 years for vinyl products and vary for wood materials. We address any installation-related issues promptly and stand behind our work. Warranty details are clearly outlined in your project contract so you know exactly what’s covered.
