Which fence needs the least maintenance?

Vinyl. It won’t rot, splinter, or need to be stained, so it stays looking clean without the staining, painting, and upkeep of wood. That makes it a practical choice for Florida homes.

Is vinyl fencing HOA friendly?

Vinyl is a popular HOA-friendly choice: simple, clean and low maintenance. We'll help you choose a style and layout that works for your home and your neighborhood.

What’s the most private wood fence?

Board on board. Overlapping vertical boards create a solid, private fence with no gaps. Traditional privacy, with closely spaced vertical boards, is the other classic choice when privacy is the priority.

Which style keeps both neighbors happy?

Shadowbox. Boards go on alternating sides of the fence, so it looks finished from both sides while keeping privacy and airflow.

Can you add privacy to a chain link fence?

Yes. Privacy slats are woven through the mesh to block visibility while keeping the strength and practicality of chain link.

Do you build gates?

Yes. Walk gates for every fence type we build (wood, vinyl, chain link and ornamental aluminum), plus privacy, decorative, driveway, double-drive and automatic gates, each one matched to your fence.

Do you install aluminum fencing?

Yes. Ornamental aluminum gives you a clean, timeless look without blocking your view, with the durability to handle Florida's weather. It's a great choice for front yards, backyards, pool enclosures, and property boundaries.

Do you do commercial fencing?

Yes. Commercial chain link for larger properties, equipment areas and storage lots, including taller systems and additional security features based on your needs.
