Fencing Services and Materials

Complete Fencing Solutions for Your Property

Our fencing services cover new installations, fence replacement, and repairs. We work with vinyl, wood, chain link, and composite materials based on your budget and long-term goals.

Privacy fences give you the screening you want from neighbors and street traffic. Security fencing keeps your property clearly defined while allowing visibility. Decorative fencing adds curb appeal without blocking views.

We handle gate installation, including hardware that works smoothly and latches that actually stay closed. Corner posts get extra reinforcement because that’s where most fence failures start. All installations include proper drainage considerations so water doesn’t pool around posts and cause premature failure.

Do I need a permit for fence installation in Watertown?

Most residential fence installations in Watertown require permits, especially for fences over six feet tall or those near property lines. The permit process involves submitting site plans showing fence location, height, and materials. We handle permit applications for our customers because we’re familiar with local requirements and can avoid common submission errors that delay approval. Permit fees typically range from $50-150 depending on fence size and complexity. The approval process usually takes 2-3 weeks, which we factor into your project timeline.
Most residential fence installations take 2-5 days depending on linear footage, terrain, and material choice. A typical backyard privacy fence around 150 linear feet takes about 3 days with proper weather conditions. We schedule installations based on permit approval, material delivery, and weather forecasts. Connecticut’s weather can delay outdoor work, especially during winter months or heavy rain periods. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during our initial consultation and keep you updated if conditions require schedule adjustments.
Vinyl and composite materials handle Connecticut’s freeze-thaw cycles better than wood, with minimal maintenance requirements over time. Pressure-treated lumber works well for budget-conscious installations but requires periodic staining or sealing. Chain link provides durability and security but offers limited privacy. We recommend materials based on your priorities: vinyl for low maintenance, cedar for natural appearance, or composite for longevity. All materials require proper installation depth below frost line to prevent heaving during winter months.
Fence installation costs vary significantly based on materials, height, terrain, and linear footage. Basic chain link starts around $15-25 per linear foot installed, while privacy vinyl or composite fencing ranges from $30-60 per linear foot. Wood fencing falls between these ranges depending on lumber grade and style. Gates, slopes, and corner reinforcements add to base costs. We provide detailed written estimates that break down material and labor costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for without surprise charges.
Yes, we regularly install fencing on Watertown’s varied terrain including slopes, hills, and uneven ground. Sloped installations require either stepped panels that follow the ground contour or racked panels that angle with the slope. The approach depends on your fence style and aesthetic preferences. Stepped installations work well for privacy fences, while racked installations suit decorative or security fencing. Additional grading or retaining work may be necessary for severe slopes, which we’ll identify during our site evaluation.
We provide workmanship warranties on all fence installations, typically covering installation defects for one year after completion. Material warranties vary by manufacturer – vinyl and composite materials often include 20-30 year warranties against fading, cracking, or structural failure. Wood fencing warranties depend on lumber grade and treatment type. We’ll explain specific warranty terms for your chosen materials during the estimate process. If installation issues arise within the warranty period, we return to address them at no additional cost to you.
