Vinyl fencing gives you the privacy and durability most Hempstead families want. It handles our winters without cracking and doesn’t need annual staining like wood. Popular for backyards where you want real privacy.
Wood fencing offers classic appeal at a lower upfront cost. Cedar and pressure-treated options work well here, though they need maintenance every few years. Good choice when budget matters most initially.
Aluminum fencing works great around pools and front yards where you want security without blocking views. It won’t rust and meets most HOA requirements in Hempstead neighborhoods.
Chain link provides reliable security at the most affordable price point. Often chosen for side yards, dog runs, or when you need to fence a large area cost-effectively.
Yes, most fence installations in Hempstead require a building permit. The Town of Hempstead has specific regulations about fence height and placement that must be followed.
Rear and side yard fences can be up to 6 feet tall, but front yard fencing is limited to 4 feet in height and must not obstruct sight lines. We handle the permit application process for you, including providing the required property survey and fence specifications.
Permit fees typically range from $150 to $400 depending on the project scope. Having permits in place protects you from potential fines and ensures your fence meets local building codes.
Vinyl and aluminum fences perform best in Long Island’s climate extremes. Vinyl doesn’t crack in cold weather, won’t warp in summer heat, and handles our coastal humidity without issues.
Aluminum fencing resists rust and corrosion, making it ideal for areas with salt air exposure. Both materials require minimal maintenance compared to wood, which needs regular staining and sealing to prevent weather damage.
Wood fencing can work well here if properly treated and maintained, but expect to restain every 2-3 years. Chain link with vinyl coating also holds up well and costs less than other durable options.
Fence installation costs vary by material and project size. Chain link typically runs $10-40 per linear foot, wood fencing $20-50 per foot, vinyl $30-60 per foot, and aluminum $25-75 per foot.
For a typical 150-foot residential fence, you’re looking at $1,500-6,000 for chain link, $3,000-7,500 for wood, $4,500-9,000 for vinyl, or $3,750-11,250 for aluminum. These ranges include materials and professional installation.
Additional costs include permits ($150-400), gate installation ($200-800), and potential fence removal if replacing existing fencing. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront.
Most residential fence installations take 1-3 days depending on the fence length and material type. A typical 100-150 foot fence usually gets completed in 2 days with proper weather conditions.
Permit approval adds 1-2 weeks to the timeline before installation begins. We schedule the work once permits are approved and materials are ready, so there’s no waiting around on your installation day.
Weather delays can extend the timeline, especially during winter months or heavy rain periods. We’ll keep you updated on any schedule changes and work with you to find convenient makeup dates.
Maintenance requirements depend heavily on your fence material. Vinyl fences need only occasional washing with soap and water to remove dirt and mildew. No staining, painting, or sealing required.
Wood fences require the most maintenance – annual inspection for loose boards or posts, restaining every 2-3 years, and prompt repair of any damage to prevent rot or pest issues.
Aluminum and chain link fences need minimal care beyond occasional cleaning and checking for loose hardware. All fence types benefit from keeping vegetation trimmed away from the fence line to prevent damage and allow proper air circulation.
Yes, we install pool fencing that meets Hempstead’s safety requirements and New York State pool codes. Pool fences must be at least 4 feet high with self-closing, self-latching gates that open outward from the pool area.
Aluminum fencing is the most popular choice for pools because it provides security without blocking views of the pool area. The spacing between pickets must be less than 4 inches to prevent small children from squeezing through.
We handle the permit process for pool fencing and ensure all installations meet local safety codes. This includes proper gate hardware, fence height requirements, and clearance specifications around pool equipment.
