Hear from Our Customers
You want a fence that handles whatever Long Island throws at it. Our vinyl fencing resists cracking in winter freezes and won’t warp in summer heat. Wood fencing gets proper treatment to resist rot and insects that damage untreated materials.
When your fence is installed right the first time, you’re not dealing with repairs every few years. You get privacy when you need it, security that works, and a property line that’s clearly defined without constant maintenance headaches.
The right fence material makes the difference between a project you’re proud of and one that becomes a recurring problem.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc has been serving Long Island homeowners since we started as a family business over two decades ago. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because that’s what serious contractors do.
We’ve seen how Long Island weather affects different fence materials. The vinyl fences we installed fifteen years ago still look good because we use materials that actually work in this climate. The wood fences get proper treatment and installation techniques that prevent the rot problems you see with rushed jobs.
Hagerman residents know us for showing up when we say we will and doing the work right the first time.
We start with a property visit to measure your space and check for underground utilities. You’ll know exactly what materials work best for your situation and what the project will cost before we start any work.
Installation begins with marking property lines and setting posts at proper depths for Long Island soil conditions. We use concrete footings that won’t shift when the ground freezes and thaws. Each section gets installed level and secure, with gates that actually swing properly and latch reliably.
Clean-up happens as we work, not just at the end. When we’re finished, you get a fence that looks professional and functions the way it should for years to come.

Vinyl fencing handles Hagerman’s temperature swings without cracking or warping. It won’t rot, doesn’t need painting, and cleans with a garden hose. Wood fencing uses cedar or pressure-treated lumber that resists insects and moisture damage common in Long Island’s humid summers.
Aluminum fencing provides security without the maintenance requirements of wrought iron. Chain link fencing offers affordable property definition for larger areas. Each material gets installed with proper hardware and techniques specific to Long Island conditions.
We stock materials from manufacturers that back their products with real warranties, not just promises. When you choose quality materials installed correctly, your fence investment pays off for decades instead of becoming a recurring expense.
Vinyl fencing performs best in Long Island’s climate because it doesn’t expand and contract like wood, won’t rust like untreated metal, and handles both winter freezes and summer humidity without damage. Quality vinyl fencing maintains its appearance for decades without painting, staining, or regular maintenance.
Wood fencing works well when properly treated and installed, but requires periodic staining or sealing to prevent rot and insect damage. Cedar naturally resists these problems better than other wood types. The key is proper installation with adequate drainage and ventilation to prevent moisture buildup.
Most residential fence installations in Hagerman take 2-4 days depending on the length, material, and terrain. We schedule around weather conditions since concrete footings need proper curing time, especially during winter months.
Vinyl and aluminum fencing typically install faster than wood fencing because the materials come pre-finished. Wood fencing may require additional time for custom cutting and finishing on-site. We provide realistic timelines during your estimate and keep you updated if weather or unexpected site conditions affect the schedule.
Most residential fences in Hagerman don’t require permits if they’re under 6 feet tall and not along a street frontage. However, corner lots and properties near main roads may have different requirements. We check local regulations during your consultation to ensure compliance.
Height restrictions, setback requirements, and material limitations can vary by location within Hagerman. We handle permit applications when required and ensure your fence meets all local codes. This prevents problems with neighbors or code enforcement after installation.
Vinyl fencing requires minimal maintenance – occasional cleaning with soap and water removes dirt and mildew. No painting, staining, or sealing needed. Wood fencing needs staining or sealing every 2-3 years to prevent rot and maintain appearance, plus periodic inspection for loose boards or hardware.
Aluminum fencing may need occasional touch-up painting where scratches occur, but quality powder-coated finishes last many years. Chain link fencing requires little maintenance beyond removing vegetation that grows through the mesh. We provide specific maintenance guidelines for your chosen material during installation.
We handle both fence repairs and new installations throughout Hagerman. Common repairs include replacing damaged sections after storms, fixing sagging gates, replacing rotted posts, and reinforcing loose fencing. Often, partial replacement makes more sense than full replacement.
Repair costs depend on the extent of damage and availability of matching materials. We assess whether repair or replacement provides better long-term value. Sometimes upgrading to more durable materials during repair prevents future problems and saves money over time.
We require clear property boundaries before starting any fence installation. If property lines are unclear, we recommend a survey to establish exact boundaries. Installing a fence on the wrong property line creates legal problems that are expensive to fix later.
We can install fences slightly inside your property line to avoid boundary disputes with neighbors. This approach prevents conflicts and ensures your fence stays on your property. Good communication with neighbors before installation often prevents misunderstandings about fence location and appearance.
