| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood & Privacy Fence Installation | From $27/ft | Newport News's classic 6-ft privacy fence, built for low, wet Peninsula ground and humid river-city summers. Pressure-treated posts set deep in concrete, cedar or treated-pine pickets, board-on-board or side-by-side. We tell you honestly when cedar is worth it and when treated pine is the smarter budget call. |
| Vinyl & PVC Fence Installation | From $38/ft | Low-maintenance vinyl privacy, picket and ranch-rail fencing that shrugs off humidity, salt air and Virginia summer sun. Manufacturer-backed panels, correct post spacing and concrete-set footings, with no warping shortcuts. Honest guidance on where vinyl beats wood and where it doesn't. |
| Chain Link Fence Installation | From $16/ft | Galvanized and black vinyl-coated chain link for yards, pets, driveways and commercial lots. The toughest fence per dollar in Newport News: correct gauge, properly tensioned mesh and braced corners that hold on soft ground, with privacy slats or windscreen where you need them. |
| Aluminum & Ornamental Iron Fencing | From $42/ft | Powder-coated aluminum and ornamental iron fencing for pools, front yards and waterfront homes. Rust-resistant panels, clean welds and racked installation on uneven lots: the premium look that actually holds up to salt air off the James and York rivers. |
| Fence Repair | From $450 | Leaning sections, broken pickets, sagging gates and storm-damaged panels, repaired in every fence material. We tell you honestly when a repair will hold and when replacement is the better spend. Most repairs are completed in a single visit. |
| Storm Damage Fence Repair | Free damage assessment | After a hurricane, a nor'easter or a summer thunderstorm, we rebuild fallen sections fast: same line, same look, stronger posts. We assess the damage and document it with photos and a written estimate to help your insurance claim. |
| Fence Post Repair & Replacement | From $450 | Newport News's high water table and soft, damp soil rot posts at the ground line and let them shift, the reason most fences lean. We reset or replace posts in fresh concrete, plumb and braced, saving the rest of your fence instead of selling you a new one. |
| Gate Installation & Repair | From $475 | Custom wood, vinyl and metal gates built square and hung right. Adjustable hinges, self-latching hardware and anti-sag bracing, plus rebuilds of gates that drag or bind as wet ground shifts and wood swells in humid weather, usually the first part of any fence to fail. |
| Automatic & Driveway Gates | From $2,800 | Sliding and swing driveway gates with professional-grade openers, keypads and safety sensors. Installation and repair on all major opener brands, with corrosion-resistant hardware for salt air, plus solar-powered options for waterfront properties without trenched power. |
| Pool Fence Installation | From $34/ft | Aluminum, mesh and glass pool barriers for Peninsula backyards, built to the pool barrier code that applies at your address. Self-closing, self-latching gates and posts set deep in soft ground so the latch stays aligned, and we walk the requirements with you before a single post is set. |
| Fence Replacement & Removal | From $2,400 | Complete tear-out, haul-away and rebuild, or a straight removal if that's all you need. We reuse what's sound, replace what isn't, and quote repair versus full replacement side by side so you decide with real numbers. |
| Fence Staining & Restoration | From $950 | Professional cleaning, brightening and stain-sealing for cedar and pine fences. Done right it can double the life of the wood under Virginia sun, humidity and river-air mildew, and we tell you when staining still makes sense and when the wood is past saving. |
| Commercial & Temporary Fencing | Free site quote | Commercial chain link, security fencing, temporary construction fence and silt fence for jobsites across Newport News and Hampton Roads. Fast installs, code-aware layouts and volume pricing for builders, GCs and property managers. |
| Farm & Ranch Fencing | From $12/ft | Ranch rail, no-climb horse fence, field wire and pipe fencing for acreage across the Peninsula and Middle Peninsula. We cover James City, York, Gloucester, Isle of Wight and Surry counties with straight lines over long runs, braced corners set deep in soft ground and gates sized for trailers and equipment. |
