| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood & Privacy Fence Installation | From $27/ft | Cedar and treated pine privacy fencing built for a coastal yard rather than an inland one. Posts set in wider concrete collars because low saturated ground holds a post by the width of the collar, not by depth, and every fastener is hot-dip galvanized or stainless so the salt air does not eat the fence from the screws outward. |
| Vinyl & PVC Fence Installation | From $38/ft | Vinyl privacy, picket and ranch rail: the material salt air cannot corrode at all. Heavy-wall extrusions with reinforced gate posts, and the standard answer across Greenbrier, Grassfield and Western Branch where association rules govern color and height. |
| Chain Link Fence Installation | From $15/ft | Galvanized and black vinyl-coated chain link for yards, dog runs and commercial ground. Near the river we fit vinyl-coated rather than bare galvanized: the coating is what stands between the steel and the salt, and it is the difference between ten years and three. |
| Aluminum & Ornamental Iron Fencing | From $42/ft | Powder-coated aluminum for front yards, pools and waterfront perimeters, the material of choice here. Aluminum does not rust, which on a lot near tidal water is not a preference but the whole argument. Rackable over uneven ground and open enough to keep the view. |
| Fence Repair | From $460 | Leaning sections, cracked pickets, sagging rails and gates that no longer close. On this coast most failures start at the hardware, where salt has taken the hinges and screws before the wood has gone. We match existing material and replace fasteners with coastal-grade ones. |
| Storm Damage Fence Repair | Free damage assessment | Hurricanes and nor'easters take fence lines down across Hampton Roads most seasons. We rebuild fast in matching material and document the damage properly so you can file your claim, with a temporary secure line first if you have a dog or a pool to close off. |
| Fence Post Repair & Replacement | From $460 | Posts are why most Chesapeake fences fail first, and low saturated ground is the reason. A post set in a narrow collar works loose in wet ground beside a drainage ditch long before the wood gives up. We reset with a wider footing so the run stops moving. |
| Gate Installation & Repair | From $485 | Custom cedar, vinyl and metal gates built square and hung on hardware that holds. Near salt water the hinge is what fails first, so we fit stainless or heavily coated anti-sag hardware sized for the span rather than the cheapest set that fits. |
| Automatic & Driveway Gates | From $2,900 | Swing and slide driveway gates with an operator, safety loop and keypad or remote entry. Aluminum rather than steel wherever the drive is near the water, and an operator rated for a coastal environment. The electrical supply is run by a licensed electrician. |
| Pool Fence Installation | From $34/ft | Aluminum, mesh and glass pool barriers installed to the barrier code that applies at your address. Height, gap and self-closing self-latching gates, inspected once and legal for good. |
| Fence Replacement & Removal | From $2,500 | Tear-out, haul-away and a new line set on new posts, done in one visit where the yard allows. When a coastal fence has reached the point where the hardware and the posts are both going, replacing it costs less over five years than patching it does. |
| Fence Staining & Restoration | From $960 | Cleaning, brightening and stain-sealing for cedar and pine fences across the city. Coastal sun and salt spray gray an unsealed fence quickly, and sealing it is the cheapest year you can add to a fence. |
| Commercial & Temporary Fencing | Free site quote | Commercial chain link, security fence, temporary construction panels and silt fence. We serve general contractors and property managers across Hampton Roads, with permitting help, scheduled installs and teardown on your build calendar. |
| Farm & Ranch Fencing | From $12/ft | Ranch rail, no-climb horse fence, field wire and pipe fencing for the farm ground in the south of the city. Hickory, Fentress and the Blackwater Road country are working agricultural land inside the city limits, and we build there for livestock pressure and for equipment gates. |
What Affects the Price
- Material Type : Different materials have different costs and durability. Chain link is the most affordable option, while ornamental iron and vinyl offer premium aesthetics and longevity at higher price points.
- Fence Length and Height : Most residential fencing is priced per linear foot. Longer fences and taller heights require more materials and labor, directly affecting your total project cost.
- Site Accessibility and Terrain : Difficult terrain, dense vegetation, rocky soil, or limited equipment access can increase labor time and complexity, which may impact your final estimate.
