You get a fence that actually works for your situation. No more worrying about privacy, security, or property lines. No more dealing with permit paperwork or wondering if the installation meets local codes.
Your fence goes up fast and stays up strong. Garden City’s freeze-thaw cycles won’t crack your posts or loosen your panels when we install it right. You’ll have clear boundaries, better curb appeal, and the peace of mind that comes from professional work.
The end result? A fence that does exactly what you need it to do, installed by people who understand Nassau County regulations and Garden City’s specific requirements.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc understands the unique challenges of fencing in Garden City. We know that fences under 6 feet don’t need permits in Nassau County, but we also know which materials Garden City prohibits and when you need Architectural Design Review Board approval.
We’ve been handling the details that other contractors miss. Things like the 6-inch setback requirement from property lines, the restrictions on barbed wire and electric fencing, and the proper post depth for Long Island’s soil conditions.
Garden City homeowners trust us because we handle everything from start to finish. No surprises, no permit problems, no code violations that slow down your project.
First, we come to your property and walk the fence line with you. We measure everything, check for utility lines, and discuss your goals for privacy, security, or curb appeal. We handle any permit requirements and make sure we’re compliant with Garden City’s building codes.
Next, we order materials and schedule installation. We coordinate with utility companies for line marking and handle any site preparation needed. Our team arrives on time with the right equipment and materials.
Installation typically takes 1-3 days depending on the fence length and material. We set posts at proper depths, install panels or boards according to manufacturer specifications, and clean up completely when we’re done. You get a fence that’s built to last through New York winters and installed to meet all local requirements.

We install vinyl, wood, aluminum, and chain link fencing based on what makes sense for your property and budget. Vinyl fencing works well for Garden City homeowners who want low maintenance and clean lines. It handles freeze-thaw cycles better than wood and doesn’t need annual staining or sealing.
Wood fencing gives you the classic look and can be customized with different board patterns and heights. We use pressure-treated lumber that’s designed for New York’s climate conditions. Aluminum fencing offers durability with minimal maintenance and works well for front yard applications where Garden City limits fence height to 4 feet.
Chain link fencing provides security and pet containment at a lower cost per linear foot. We can add privacy slats or mesh inserts depending on your needs. All materials meet Garden City’s approved fencing standards and are installed with proper setbacks from property lines.
Fences under 6 feet in height don’t require permits in Nassau County, which includes Garden City. However, fences over 6 feet do require permits, and solid fencing over 6 feet requires engineering approval.
Commercial properties have different requirements. Garden City requires Architectural Design Review Board approval for any fence construction on commercial property. We handle permit applications when they’re needed and make sure your fence meets all local requirements before installation begins.
Garden City prohibits certain materials including chicken wire, barbed wire, razor wire, electric fences, and welded mesh wire. You also can’t use solid plywood, flakeboard, scrap lumber, or bare concrete blocks for fencing.
Approved materials include vinyl, wood (properly finished), aluminum, chain link, and decorative metal fencing. We only recommend and install materials that meet Garden City’s standards. This prevents problems during inspection and ensures your fence adds value to your property rather than creating code violations.
Fence installation costs in the Garden City area typically range from $15-40 per linear foot depending on material and height. Vinyl fencing runs $25-40 per linear foot installed, while chain link is usually $15-25 per linear foot.
Labor costs in Nassau County run higher than the national average due to local wage standards and permit requirements. However, professional installation protects your investment by ensuring proper post depth, correct spacing, and compliance with local codes. We provide detailed estimates that include all materials, labor, and permit fees so you know exactly what to expect.
Most residential fence installations take 1-3 days depending on the linear footage and material type. A typical backyard privacy fence of 100-150 linear feet usually takes 2 days from start to finish.
Weather conditions and soil type can affect timing. Garden City’s soil conditions are generally favorable for post installation, but we may encounter rocky areas or need extra time for utility line coordination. We schedule installations to avoid conflicts and complete work efficiently while maintaining quality standards.
Garden City allows fences up to 6 feet in height in residential areas, with fence posts up to 6.5 feet. Front yard fences are typically limited to 4 feet in height to maintain sight lines for traffic safety.
Nonresidential properties can have 6-foot fences, but commercial fence installations require approval from the Architectural Design Review Board. Any fence over 6 feet requires a permit and engineering approval. We help determine the right height for your property based on your needs and local regulations.
Yes, we handle fence repairs, panel replacement, and maintenance for all fence types we install. Garden City requires that fences facing public areas be kept in clean and well-maintained condition, and we help homeowners meet those requirements.
Common repairs include replacing damaged panels, fixing loose posts, and addressing weather damage from storms or freeze-thaw cycles. We also handle fence modifications when homeowners want to add gates, change heights, or extend existing fence lines. Regular maintenance keeps your fence looking good and functioning properly for years.
