| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood & Privacy Fence Installation | From $27/ft | Wood privacy fencing set in concrete footings sized for Chesapeake's flat, wet ground, not deep post holes. We build to the height and color rules common in Greenbrier, Great Bridge and Western Branch, and fit narrow lots in South Norfolk and Deep Creek. |
| Vinyl & PVC Fence Installation | From $38/ft | Vinyl holds up against the salt air off the Elizabeth River and tidal creeks that eats plain steel. Panels come in the white and tan tones most Greenbrier and Great Bridge associations approve, and never need paint or stain. |
| Chain Link Fence Installation | From $15/ft | Galvanized chain link works fine away from the water, but salt air near the river and tidal creeks corrodes it fast, so we offer powder-coated options for those lots. Posts are set in concrete sized for Chesapeake's wet soil, not driven deep. |
| Aluminum & Ornamental Iron Fencing | From $42/ft | Salt air off the Elizabeth River and tidal creeks eats plain galvanized steel fast, so we build with powder-coated aluminum that keeps its finish. Posts sit in wide concrete collars sized for Chesapeake's wet, low ground. We match height and color to Greenbrier, Western Branch and Great Bridge HOA rules. |
| Fence Repair | From $460 | Chesapeake's wet, low ground shifts fence posts more than frost ever does here, and storm winds off the water finish the job. We repair leaning sections, broken pickets and pulled posts on wood, vinyl, aluminum and chain link. |
| Storm Damage Fence Repair | Free damage assessment | Nor'easters and hurricane winds push over more fence than any other cause in Chesapeake. We assess wind-thrown panels, snapped posts and washed-out footings on wet lots and get a repair plan back to you fast, insurance paperwork included. |
| Fence Post Repair & Replacement | From $460 | In Chesapeake's low, wet ground a post holds on the width and quality of its concrete, not how deep it goes. We dig out failed footings, reset or replace the post and pour a wider collar so it stands through the next nor'easter. |
| Gate Installation & Repair | From $485 | Gates sag first on Chesapeake's soft, wet lots because the post carrying the weight moves before the panel does. We reset hinge posts in wider concrete and fit stainless or powder-coated hardware that holds up near the water. |
| Automatic & Driveway Gates | From $2,900 | On the acreage lots out toward Hickory, Fentress and Blackwater Road, an automatic gate covers a long driveway without anyone getting out of the truck. We run buried or above-ground wiring and use powder-coated hardware rated for salt air near the water. |
| Pool Fence Installation | From $34/ft | Chesapeake's low, wet lots need wide concrete footings, not deep holes, to keep posts plumb. We space pickets close enough that a small child can't squeeze through, swing the gate away from the pool, and mount the latch above reach height. Powder-coated aluminum resists salt air near Chesapeake's tidal creeks. |
| Fence Replacement & Removal | From $2,500 | Old wood and chain link break down fast against Chesapeake's humidity and wet soil, and pulling the old posts is half the job. We remove and haul off the existing fence, then set new footings sized for the ground, not the old holes. |
| Fence Staining & Restoration | From $960 | Chesapeake's humid summers and salt-tinged air gray and warp untreated wood faster than most owners expect. We pressure wash, sand rough spots and apply a stain built to hold color and seal out moisture through the next hurricane season. |
| Commercial & Temporary Fencing | Free site quote | From job sites in Greenbrier to farm ground out by Fentress, we set up temporary construction fencing and chain link perimeter security fast, then pull it just as fast when the job's done. Panels are weighted and braced for Chesapeake's open, wind-exposed lots. |
| Farm & Ranch Fencing | From $12/ft | Out in Hickory, Fentress and along Blackwater Road, the ground turns to acreage and long fence lines fast, with the Great Dismal Swamp pressing in from the west. We run high-tensile wire and woven fence across pasture and field, setting corner posts in concrete collars wide enough to hold against soft, ditch-cut soil. |
What Affects the Price

- 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.
