Your backyard becomes the private retreat you’ve been wanting. No more neighbors looking over, kids and pets stay safe within clear boundaries, and that constant street noise finally gets muffled by solid fencing materials.
You get the curb appeal that makes your home stand out in the neighborhood. Studies show quality fencing can boost your property’s perceived value by up to 14%. That’s real money in your pocket when it’s time to sell.
The right fence does more than mark property lines. It creates the outdoor space where your family actually wants to spend time, blocks those unsightly utility boxes, and gives you the peace of mind that comes with a secure perimeter around your home.
We bring professional fencing services to North Hempstead homeowners who want the job done right the first time. We understand Nassau County’s permit requirements, height restrictions, and setback rules that can trip up other contractors.
North Hempstead requires licensed fence erectors for most installations, and we’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured. We handle the paperwork, coordinate with local building departments, and make sure your fence meets all town codes.
Our team knows Long Island weather. We’ve seen what winter storms and summer heat do to poorly installed fencing, so we use materials and installation methods that hold up year after year in this climate.
We start with a property assessment and discuss your goals. Privacy for the backyard? Pool safety requirements? Defining property lines? We measure accurately and explain your material options based on what you’re trying to accomplish.
Next comes permit handling. North Hempstead requires permits for most residential fencing, and we take care of the applications, surveys, and town approvals. You don’t have to navigate the building department or worry about code compliance.
Installation happens efficiently with minimal disruption to your daily routine. We mark utility lines, set posts in concrete where needed, and install your fencing with attention to proper alignment and secure connections. Cleanup is part of the job, so your property looks better than when we started.

Vinyl fencing gives you the most bang for your buck in North Hempstead. It won’t warp, crack, or need repainting, and it handles our humid summers and cold winters without maintenance headaches. Available in privacy styles and decorative options that complement your home’s architecture.
Wood fencing offers natural beauty and complete customization. Cedar and pressure-treated options provide different looks and price points. Wood can be stained or painted to match your home, and it’s perfect when you want that classic residential fence appearance.
Aluminum fencing works well for front yards and pool areas. It doesn’t rust like iron, requires virtually no maintenance, and comes in styles from simple to ornate. Popular with North Hempstead homeowners who want defined boundaries without blocking sightlines.
Chain link provides security and durability at the most economical price point. Available with privacy slats, vinyl coating, and different gauges depending on your security needs. Often required for pool enclosures and works well for side and back yard boundaries.
Yes, North Hempstead requires permits for most residential fencing projects. The minimum permit fee is $62, calculated based on linear footage of fencing. You’ll need duplicate applications, two surveys showing proposed fence location and height, signed and notarized owner affirmation forms, and proof of insurance from your licensed fence contractor.
Only fence erectors licensed with the Town of North Hempstead can install fencing, or homeowners can file a BP-1 Affidavit of Exemption to install their own fence on owner-occupied property. We handle all permit applications and ensure compliance with local building codes.
The town requires specific setbacks from neighboring properties and height restrictions based on your zoning district. Six-foot fencing is mandatory for in-ground pools and must be installed by licensed contractors.
Vinyl and aluminum perform best in Long Island’s climate extremes. Vinyl doesn’t expand and contract like wood, won’t crack in winter freezes, and handles humidity without warping or rotting. It requires no maintenance beyond occasional cleaning and comes with long warranties.
Aluminum resists rust, corrosion, and fading better than steel options. It won’t be damaged by salt air if you’re near the water, and powder-coated finishes hold their color for decades. Both materials handle our nor’easters and summer storms without the maintenance headaches of wood or iron.
Wood can work well if you choose pressure-treated lumber and commit to regular staining or sealing. Cedar naturally resists insects and decay but requires more upkeep. Chain link with vinyl coating also performs well and offers the most economical long-term solution.
Fencing costs vary significantly based on materials, height, and site conditions. Chain link typically runs $15-25 per linear foot installed, vinyl ranges from $25-40 per foot, wood fencing costs $20-35 per foot, and aluminum runs $30-50 per foot depending on style and height.
Additional costs include permits (minimum $62 in North Hempstead), gates ($200-600 each), concrete for post setting in difficult soil, and potential landscaping restoration. Properties with slopes, rocky soil, or utility conflicts may require additional labor.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down materials, labor, permits, and any site-specific requirements. No surprise charges, and we explain exactly what’s included in your project cost before any work begins.
Property line placement depends on your specific situation and local regulations. North Hempstead requires fences to be set back from neighboring residential buildings – 25 feet in AAA or AA districts, 20 feet in A or B districts, and 15 feet in other residential zones.
A professional survey is highly recommended before any fence installation. Even if you think you know your property lines, underground utilities, easements, or slight boundary discrepancies can create expensive problems later. Many fence disputes happen because of unclear property lines.
We coordinate with licensed surveyors when needed and can help you understand setback requirements for your specific zoning district. It’s better to get this right upfront than deal with neighbor disputes or town violations after installation.
Most residential fence projects take 2-5 days depending on linear footage, material choice, and site conditions. Vinyl and aluminum install faster than custom wood projects. Chain link is typically the quickest installation.
Permit processing adds time to the overall project timeline. North Hempstead permit review can take 2-3 weeks, so we start applications early in the process. Weather delays are possible during winter months, but we work year-round when conditions permit.
Complex projects with multiple gates, elevation changes, or utility conflicts take longer. We provide realistic timelines during your estimate and keep you updated on progress. Most homeowners are surprised how quickly their property transforms once installation begins.
Quality fencing typically increases property value, especially in North Hempstead’s competitive real estate market. Studies indicate good fencing can boost perceived home value by 7-14%, and privacy fencing ranks as one of the top five must-haves for home buyers.
The return depends on material choice, installation quality, and how well the fence complements your property. Professional installation with quality materials provides better returns than DIY projects or budget materials that look cheap or require frequent repairs.
Fencing also makes your home more marketable by creating defined outdoor spaces, providing privacy for families with children, and offering security features that buyers value. Pool fencing is often required by insurance companies and adds safety value that buyers recognize.
