Vinyl fencing offers the lowest maintenance option. It won’t rot, crack, or need annual staining like wood. Perfect for East Hampton’s humid summers and harsh winters. Available in multiple styles and colors that comply with local aesthetic requirements.
Wood fencing provides classic appeal with options like cedar and pressure-treated pine. We use proper post-setting techniques and quality hardware that handles Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles. Traditional picket styles work well for front yards within height restrictions.
Aluminum fencing delivers security and durability without the maintenance of wrought iron. Excellent for pool areas where East Hampton requires specific safety fencing. Won’t rust like steel options and provides an upscale appearance.
Chain link fencing offers practical security at budget-friendly prices. We install it correctly with proper tensioning and quality posts. Available in different heights to meet your security needs while staying within local regulations.
East Hampton limits fence height to 6 feet maximum in residential yards that front on public streets. For other yard areas, fences can be up to 8 feet tall. Heights up to 10 feet require special approval from the Architectural Review Board for exceptional circumstances like noise protection or deer control.
The town measures height from natural grade, not from any berms or elevated areas. Posts can extend slightly higher than the fence panels in some cases. We know these regulations inside and out and ensure your fence meets all requirements before installation begins.
Most fence installations in East Hampton require permits, especially for fences over a certain height or in specific locations. The permit process involves submitting plans showing fence location, height, materials, and setbacks from property lines.
We handle the entire permit process for you. This includes preparing the required documentation, submitting applications to the town, and working with inspectors as needed. Getting permits right the first time prevents costly delays and ensures your fence meets all local codes.
The permit process typically takes 2-4 weeks depending on the complexity of your project and current town workload.
For deer protection in East Hampton, height matters more than material. Deer can jump quite high, so we typically recommend 8-foot fencing where regulations allow. Chain link or welded wire mesh provides effective protection at lower costs.
Solid privacy fencing also works well because deer prefer to see their escape routes. Vinyl or wood privacy fences at maximum allowable heights create effective barriers. We can also install specialized deer fencing that’s nearly invisible but highly effective.
The key is proper installation with no gaps at ground level and secure gate systems. We’ve installed hundreds of deer-protection fences in East Hampton and know what actually works versus what sounds good in theory.
Most residential fence installations take 1-3 days once permits are approved and materials arrive. Simple projects like replacing existing fencing go faster. Complex installations with multiple gates, elevation changes, or challenging soil conditions take longer.
Weather affects timing, especially for post-setting in winter months. We schedule installations during favorable conditions and communicate any delays immediately. The permit approval process adds 2-4 weeks before installation begins.
We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you informed throughout the process. Rush jobs usually create problems, so we focus on doing the work right rather than fast.
Fence installation costs vary significantly based on material, height, length, and site conditions. Basic chain link runs $15-25 per linear foot installed. Wood fencing ranges from $25-45 per linear foot. Vinyl and aluminum typically cost $30-60 per linear foot.
Additional costs include permits, gate installations, and any required site preparation. Properties with challenging access, rocky soil, or extensive landscaping around the fence line cost more to install.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs including materials, labor, permits, and any extras. No surprise charges or hidden fees. Most East Hampton residential fence projects range from $3,000-8,000 depending on scope.
Shared driveways are common in East Hampton, and we handle these situations regularly. The key is understanding property boundaries and any easement agreements that affect fence placement. We review surveys and work with property owners to determine exact installation locations.
Sometimes fence installation requires coordination between neighbors, especially for boundary fencing. We help facilitate these discussions and ensure installations don’t interfere with legal access rights or utility easements.
Gate installations on shared driveways require careful planning to meet East Hampton’s 20-foot setback requirements from road surfaces. We design solutions that provide security while maintaining proper access for all parties with legal rights to use the driveway.
