When your fence is installed right, you stop worrying about privacy, security, and maintenance headaches. You get a barrier that stands up to whatever Long Island weather throws at it while actually making your property more valuable.
No more dealing with loose posts after the first winter storm. No more gaps that let your dog escape or give nosy neighbors a clear view of your backyard. Just solid protection that does its job year after year.
Your home becomes the one on the block that looks put-together and well-maintained. That matters when it’s time to sell, and it matters every day you live there.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc has been serving Easthampton homeowners for years, and we understand what works in this area. We know the soil conditions, the weather patterns, and the local regulations that affect your fencing project.
We’re not a fly-by-night operation or a big corporate chain. We’re local contractors who live and work in this community, which means we’re here when you need service or have questions down the road.
Every fence we install comes with our commitment to quality workmanship and materials that can handle everything from summer storms to winter freeze-thaw cycles.
First, we come to your property for a consultation where we assess your needs, measure the area, and discuss material options that fit your budget and goals. We handle any permit requirements and mark utility lines before we start digging.
Installation begins with setting posts in concrete footings designed for Long Island soil conditions. We use proper spacing and depth to ensure your fence stays straight and secure. Then we install your chosen fencing material, whether that’s vinyl, wood, aluminum, or chain link.
We clean up completely when we’re done and walk through the finished project with you to make sure everything meets your expectations. You get a fence that’s built to last and the peace of mind that comes with professional installation.

We install vinyl fencing that won’t crack, warp, or fade in Easthampton’s climate. It’s the smart choice for homeowners who want privacy and curb appeal without the ongoing maintenance that wood requires. No painting, no staining, no rotting boards to replace.
Our wood fence options use pressure-treated lumber that can handle moisture and temperature changes. We build custom designs that match your home’s style, from traditional picket fences to modern horizontal slat designs.
Aluminum fencing gives you the look of wrought iron with better durability and lower maintenance. It’s perfect for front yards where you want security without blocking your view. Chain link remains the most cost-effective option for large areas where you need a secure boundary without breaking the budget.
Most residential fence installations take 1-3 days depending on the size of your project and material choice. Vinyl and aluminum fences typically install faster than wood because there’s no cutting or custom fitting required on-site.
Weather can affect the timeline, especially if we’re setting posts in concrete during wet conditions. We’ll give you a realistic schedule during your consultation and keep you updated if anything changes.
The permit process can add a few days to the overall timeline, but we handle that paperwork for you so it doesn’t slow down the actual installation.
Vinyl performs exceptionally well in our climate because it doesn’t absorb moisture, won’t rot, and handles temperature swings without cracking when properly installed. It’s the lowest-maintenance option we offer.
Aluminum is another excellent choice because it won’t rust like steel and doesn’t require the ongoing maintenance that wood needs. It’s particularly good if you want an attractive front yard fence that won’t obstruct views.
Pressure-treated wood can work well if you’re willing to maintain it with periodic staining or sealing. The key is proper installation with adequate drainage around posts to prevent premature rot.
Most fence installations in Easthampton require permits, especially if your fence is over four feet tall or if you’re installing near property lines. The specific requirements depend on your fence height, location, and proximity to roads or neighbors.
We handle the permit application process for you because we know exactly what the local building department requires. This saves you time and ensures your fence meets all local codes from the start.
Skipping permits might seem like a shortcut, but it can cause serious problems when you try to sell your home or if neighbors complain. We make sure everything is done properly and legally.
Basic fence repairs like fixing loose posts or replacing damaged sections typically cost between $200-400, depending on the extent of the damage and materials involved. Gate repairs can be more expensive because gates have moving parts that wear out faster.
If your repair costs would exceed about 20% of what a new fence would cost, replacement usually makes more sense financially. You get better materials, a warranty, and avoid the ongoing repair cycle that older fences often require.
We’ll assess your current fence honestly and tell you whether repair or replacement gives you better value. Sometimes a partial replacement of the worst sections is the smartest middle ground.
Frost heave is the biggest culprit in our area. When water freezes in the soil around posts, it expands and pushes posts out of alignment. This is why proper post depth and concrete footings are so important in Easthampton.
Poor drainage around posts leads to wood rot or concrete deterioration over time. Posts that weren’t set deep enough or in adequate concrete will eventually shift under wind load or normal wear.
Age is also a factor. Even well-installed posts will eventually need attention after 15-20 years, depending on materials and conditions. Regular inspection can catch problems before they become expensive repairs.
We can usually match existing fence styles, especially for common materials like vinyl, aluminum, or standard wood designs. The key is having enough of the original fence to work with for color and style matching.
For older or custom fences, matching can be more challenging if the original manufacturer has changed their products or gone out of business. We’ll do our best to find the closest match possible or suggest complementary styles that blend well.
Sometimes a partial replacement that creates distinct sections works better than trying to perfectly match weathered or faded materials. We’ll show you options and let you decide what looks best for your property.
