Fencing Services

Most residential fence installations are completed in 1 to 3 days depending on the size of the project, the type of fencing, and terrain conditions. A standard backyard privacy fence typically takes 1 to 2 days, while larger properties or fences requiring significant grading may take up to 3 days. We provide a clear timeline during your estimate so you know exactly what to expect.

For maximum privacy, we recommend a 6-foot solid wood fence or vinyl privacy fence. Board-on-board and solid panel styles eliminate gaps between pickets, blocking sightlines completely. Shadowbox fences offer partial privacy while allowing airflow. Our team will help you choose the right style based on your privacy needs, budget, and neighborhood requirements.

Permit requirements vary by municipality across the Northshore. In Slidell, fences typically require a building permit and must comply with setback and height restrictions. Covington, Mandeville, and other communities have their own regulations. We handle the permitting research for your specific location and can guide you through any HOA approval processes as well.

Wood fences in Louisiana's humid climate benefit from staining or sealing every 2 to 3 years to protect against moisture, UV damage, and insect activity. We recommend power washing annually to remove mold and mildew buildup, followed by a quality exterior wood stain or sealant. Proper maintenance can extend the life of your wood fence to 15 to 20 years or more.

Chain link fences are the most affordable option, offering excellent durability and virtually zero maintenance with a lifespan of 20+ years. However, they provide minimal privacy unless fitted with slats or screening. Wood fences cost more upfront and require periodic maintenance, but they deliver superior privacy, a more attractive appearance, and can be customized to match your home's style. The right choice depends on your priorities: budget and low maintenance favor chain link, while aesthetics and privacy favor wood.
