Chesapeake is a sprawling city of subdivision neighborhoods, older established blocks, and working farmland, where property lines often run along drainage ditches and fence work demands precision and local knowledge.

Homeowners and property managers in Chesapeake (23322) call Chesapeake Fence Company because we have been installing and repairing fences here since 2013. We know the terrain, the code requirements that vary across the city, and the difference between a repair that holds and one that does not. Our team handles everything from vinyl privacy fences in Greenbrier subdivisions to farm and ranch fencing on working ground in the south, and we show up to do the work ourselves.

Fence Installation and Repair in Chesapeake

Chesapeake's low-lying terrain, drainage patterns, and mix of housing types mean that fence work here requires careful attention to post setting, proper drainage around footings, and honest assessment of what the site demands. We install wood and vinyl privacy fences, chain link, ornamental metal, gates, and automatic driveway gates. We repair storm-damaged runs, replace leaning or rotted posts, and restore fences that have settled or failed at the line. We also handle pool fencing installed to meet local pool barrier codes, commercial and temporary fencing, and farm and ranch fencing on acreage.

Since 2013, we have served Chesapeake and the surrounding area with the same crews on every job. We are fully insured and members of the American Fence Association. We work from your existing survey and install on the line you identify. Before we dig post holes, we call Virginia 811 for a utility locate, as required by law.

How a Fence Job Works in Chesapeake

Step one is a free on-site assessment. We come to your property, look at the existing fence or the line where you want to build, and talk through what you need. We explain the options, the costs, and what the local code requires. If your fence is damaged, we take photos and help you document the damage for an insurance claim if that is relevant.

Step two is the work itself. Our crews set posts in concrete or tamped earth depending on the application, space them correctly, and build the fence or gate to last. We work within your property line and coordinate with any HOA rules that apply in your neighborhood. We handle tight lot access, drainage ditches, and the logistics of working in established subdivisions like those around Greenbrier and Western Branch, as well as on open acreage.

Step three is cleanup and a final walkthrough. We remove debris, leave your property clean, and make sure you understand the care and maintenance that will keep your fence sound for years.

Fence work in Chesapeake ranges widely depending on the material, the length of the run, site conditions, and whether you are repairing or replacing. A wood privacy fence starts at $27 per linear foot. Vinyl runs from $38 per linear foot. Chain link is our most economical option at $15 per linear foot. Ornamental metal fencing starts at $42 per linear foot. Gate installation and repair start at $485, and automatic driveway gates begin at $2,900. Storm damage assessment is free. A fence repair or post replacement starts at $460. Fence removal and replacement is priced per job and starts at $2,500. The final cost depends on the total length, the material you choose, site access, drainage considerations, and whether posts can be tamped or must be set in concrete. Call us at (757) 296-1863 for a free estimate.

Does Chesapeake require a permit for a new fence?

Permit requirements vary across Chesapeake and depend on the fence height, setback, and material. Some jurisdictions require a permit, others do not. We recommend checking with the Chesapeake building department before you start. If your property is in a master-planned community or HOA, you will also need to verify the architectural standards for height, material, and color. We work from your existing survey and install on the line you identify. We can help you understand what the code allows.

Our fence came down in a storm. Can you help?

Yes. We offer free storm damage assessment and can document the damage with photos to help you file an insurance claim. We repair or replace storm-damaged fence runs, replace posts that have snapped or pulled, and straighten runs that have shifted. Whether repair or replacement makes sense depends on the damage and the age of the fence. Call us at (757) 296-1863 right away if you need emergency work.

What is the difference between a wood privacy fence and vinyl?

Wood privacy fences, typically cedar or pressure-treated pine, offer a classic look and cost less upfront (starting at $27 per linear foot). They require periodic staining and maintenance to resist weathering and rot at the ground line. Vinyl fencing (starting at $38 per linear foot) is maintenance-free, does not rot, and holds its color, but costs more initially. Both work well in Chesapeake. The choice depends on your budget, how much maintenance you want to do, and your aesthetic preference.

Our fence is leaning. Can it be repaired, or does it need to be replaced?

It depends on why it is leaning. If the posts have settled unevenly or the footings have shifted, we can sometimes reset the posts and straighten the fence. If the posts are rotted at the ground line, we replace them. If the entire run is compromised or the damage is too extensive, replacement is the better spend. We assess the fence on site and tell you honestly which option makes sense.

We are installing a pool. What fencing do we need?

Virginia state law and local code require a pool barrier. Pool fencing is typically a four-sided enclosure with a self-closing, self-latching gate. We install pool fencing to meet local pool barrier codes (starting at $34 per linear foot). Final determination of compliance rests with the authority having jurisdiction in your area. A fence barrier is a safety layer, but supervision of children and swimmers is always required.

What about a gate for my driveway?

We install manual gates starting at $485 and automatic driveway gates starting at $2,900. Automatic gates use a gate operator and can be cantilever or V-track depending on your driveway width and slope. They are convenient and secure. We handle the installation, the operator setup, and any repair or adjustment needed. Call us at (757) 296-1863 to discuss what will work for your property.

We have a farm in the south part of Chesapeake. Can you fence acreage?

Yes. We specialize in farm and ranch fencing (starting at $12 per linear foot) and have insured crews for this work. We handle post spacing, tension bands, stretcher bars, and the bracing needed for long runs. We work with your property layout and drainage patterns and can discuss the best material and configuration for your operation. Call us at (757) 296-1863 for a site quote.
