Fence Installation Process

Here's How We Handle Your Project

First, we come out to look at your property and discuss what you need. We’ll measure the area, check for any underground utilities, and talk through material options that make sense for your situation and budget.

Next, we handle the permit paperwork if your project requires it. Most residential fence installations in Stratford need permits, and we know exactly what the town requires. We submit everything and wait for approval before starting any work.

Once permits are approved, we schedule your installation. We mark utility lines, set posts with proper spacing and depth, and install your fencing according to manufacturer specifications. The job isn’t finished until we’ve cleaned up the work area and walked through the completed project with you.

Do I need a permit for fence installation in Stratford?

Most residential fence installations in Stratford require permits, especially if your fence is over four feet tall or located near property lines. The town has specific setback requirements and height restrictions that vary by zoning district. We handle the permit application process for our customers, including submitting the required drawings and documentation. The permit process typically takes 2-3 weeks, and we don’t start installation until we have proper approval. This protects you from potential code violations and ensures your fence meets all local requirements.
Most residential fence installations take 1-3 days depending on the size of your property and type of fencing. A typical backyard privacy fence usually takes 1-2 days, while larger properties or more complex installations may take longer. Weather can affect the timeline, especially if we’re setting posts in concrete and need proper curing time. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during the estimate process and keep you updated if anything changes. We don’t rush installations because proper post setting and alignment are critical for long-term durability.
Vinyl and aluminum fencing handle Connecticut’s freeze-thaw cycles extremely well because they don’t absorb moisture or expand and contract like wood. Quality pressure-treated wood can also work well if you’re willing to do periodic maintenance like staining or sealing. Chain link is the most durable option but doesn’t provide privacy. We don’t recommend untreated wood or low-grade materials because they typically fail within a few years in our climate. The best choice depends on your priorities for maintenance, privacy, and budget, and we’ll explain the pros and cons of each option for your specific situation.
Fence installation costs vary significantly based on materials, property size, and site conditions. Basic chain link fencing typically costs less than privacy vinyl or wood fencing. Factors that affect pricing include soil conditions, slope of your property, permit requirements, and any obstacles like trees or utilities. We provide detailed written estimates that break down material and labor costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Most residential fence projects in Stratford range from moderate to higher investment depending on materials chosen, but we’ll work with your budget to find options that make sense.
Yes, we regularly install fencing on sloped and uneven properties throughout Stratford. Sloped installations require different techniques like stepped or racked panels to maintain proper appearance and function. We assess your property’s grade during the initial consultation and recommend the best approach for your specific terrain. Some slopes may require additional grading or specialized post installation techniques, which we’ll discuss upfront. The key is proper planning and using installation methods that account for your property’s natural contours while maintaining the fence’s structural integrity and appearance.
We handle fence repairs including damaged panels, loose posts, gate adjustments, and hardware replacement. Common repair needs include storm damage, settling posts, or normal wear and tear over time. We can also perform maintenance services like cleaning, staining, or replacing worn components to extend your fence’s lifespan. Many fence problems can be prevented with periodic maintenance, and we’ll advise you on what your specific fencing material needs. If you have an existing fence that needs attention, we can assess the situation and recommend whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation and budget.
