Norfolk's early-century homes sit tight on narrow lots, and many of them are ringed by aging fences that take a beating from salt air and coastal weather. Chesapeake Fence Company has been installing, repairing, and replacing fences across Norfolk and the surrounding Chesapeake area since 2013, and we know what holds up on a waterfront block and what doesn't.

Whether your vinyl privacy fence is leaning, your chain link has rusted through, or you need a new gate that actually swings smooth, our crew shows up on time, works clean, and gives you straight talk about whether your fence can be fixed or needs to come down and go back up.

Fencing for Norfolk Homes and Properties

Norfolk's dense residential stock means most properties have narrow setbacks and shared fence lines. Salt air rules out plain steel, so we work with galvanized chain link, powder-coated aluminum and ornamental iron, vinyl and PVC, and pressure-treated or cedar wood. Waterfront blocks especially demand materials that stand up to corrosion, and we've installed hundreds of feet of ornamental iron and vinyl fencing in neighborhoods where rust would claim a bare steel fence in a season.

Since 2013, we've built fences on properties from the downtown historic blocks to the neighborhoods around Norfolk State University and beyond. We're AFA Member Installers (American Fence Association), we carry full insurance, and we know the Norfolk building department's rules on height, setback, and corner visibility. We also work with HOA architectural standards, because many Norfolk properties sit in master-planned communities where fence material and color are governed by deed restriction.

How a Fence Job Works in Norfolk

Step one is a free on-site assessment. You call us at (757) 296-1863 or contact us online, and we come out to look at what you've got. We'll walk the fence line with you, talk through what's failing and why, and explain your options without pressure. If you have an existing survey, we work from that. If not, you identify the line you want to build on, and we install there. We also pull a Virginia 811 utility locate before we dig any post holes, because hitting a buried line is nobody's day.

Step two is the work itself. Our crews set posts in concrete, space them correctly, and install stringers, rails, pickets, and gates with the same attention to detail whether it's a simple chain link run or a board-on-board cedar privacy fence with cap and trim. On narrow Norfolk lots, we sometimes need to stage materials carefully or use hand tools where a truck can't reach, and we do that without complaint.

Step three is cleanup and walkthrough. We haul away all the old fence debris, sweep the site, and make sure you're satisfied with the line, the hardware, and the finish before we leave.

Pricing depends on the material, the linear footage, site access, and whether you're replacing an old fence or building new. Chain link runs from $15 per linear foot. Wood privacy fence starts at $27 per linear foot. Vinyl and PVC fencing runs from $38 per linear foot. Aluminum and ornamental iron, which hold up best in Norfolk's salt air, start at $42 per linear foot. Gate installation and repair start at $485, and if you need a new automatic driveway gate, budget from $2,900. Fence repair jobs, including post replacement and storm damage assessment, start at $460. For a free estimate tailored to your property, call us at (757) 296-1863. We'll give you realistic numbers based on what's actually there.

Why does my vinyl fence look dull and chalky after a few years in Norfolk?

Salt air and UV exposure dull vinyl over time, but it's cosmetic. If the fence is still sound, we can restore it with a professional cleaning and staining. If the vinyl itself is cracked or the posts are leaning, replacement makes more sense. We can assess which path is worth the money.

My chain link fence is rusting badly. Can it be repaired, or do I need to replace it?

Light surface rust can sometimes be managed, but if the galvanizing is gone and rust is eating through the mesh or the posts, replacement is the honest answer. Galvanized chain link lasts longer in Norfolk's salt air than bare steel, and we can help you choose gauge and mesh size that will hold up. Call us at (757) 296-1863 for a damage assessment.

What should I do if my fence blows down in a storm?

Call us right away. We offer free damage assessment and can document the damage for your insurance claim. We'll explain what happened, what it will cost to repair or replace, and give you an honest timeline. We don't charge extra for storm work, and we work with your insurance company to make the process straightforward.

Do I need a permit to install a new fence in Norfolk?

Permit requirements vary by jurisdiction in the Chesapeake area. Norfolk has specific rules on fence height, setback, and corner visibility, and many neighborhoods have HOA architectural standards that govern material and color. Before you dig, check with the Norfolk building department and your HOA (if you have one). We work from whatever rules apply to your property and can help you understand what's allowed.

My HOA says my fence has to be a certain color or material. Can you work with that?

Absolutely. We install whatever material and color your HOA approves. We've worked with dozens of master-planned communities around Norfolk, and we know how to navigate those rules. Bring us the HOA architectural guidelines, and we'll make sure the fence we build passes inspection.

I'm installing a pool fence. What do I need to know about code compliance?

Pool fencing is installed to meet local pool barrier codes, but final determination of compliance rests with the authority having jurisdiction in Norfolk. We know the standard requirements for gate hardware, self-closing and self-latching hinges, and spacing, and we build to code. Once the fence is up, have the local building department or your pool contractor verify it meets the current standard for your property.

Are you fully insured for fence work on my Norfolk property?

Yes. We carry full insurance including general liability and workers' compensation. Our crews are trained and insured, and we stand behind the work we do. If you have questions about coverage for your specific job, ask us when you call for your free estimate at (757) 296-1863.
