You shouldn’t have to deal with neighbors who don’t respect boundaries or worry about your kids and pets wandering off. A properly installed fence gives you control over your property and creates the private space you’ve been wanting.
The difference between a fence that works and one that becomes a headache? Quality materials installed correctly. When both are done right, you get years of reliable performance without constant repairs.
Most fence problems come from poor installation or cheap materials that can’t handle North Wantagh’s weather. Professional installation with quality materials means your fence does its job without demanding your attention every few months.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc brings the same quality standards to fencing that have made us trusted for exterior work in North Wantagh. As licensed and insured contractors, we know what it takes to build structures that handle Long Island’s weather.
North Wantagh’s coastal conditions, winter storms, and soil variations require contractors who understand local challenges. Not every fence material or installation method works well here.
Our approach matches the right fence type to your specific property, local requirements, and long-term goals. This means fewer surprises, better results, and solutions that make sense for your situation and budget.
It starts with an on-site consultation where we assess your property, discuss your needs, and explain your options clearly. We measure everything, check for potential issues, and provide a complete estimate with no hidden costs.
Once you decide to move forward, we handle permits and coordinate installation around your schedule. Our crew arrives with all materials and equipment, marks utilities for safety, and starts with proper post placement that keeps your fence straight and secure.
After installation, we walk the property with you to ensure everything meets expectations. The site gets cleaned up completely, and you receive warranty information and care instructions. Most residential projects take one to three days depending on size and complexity.

Vinyl fence installation offers the lowest maintenance option with the look you want but without ongoing upkeep. It won’t rot, warp, or need regular staining – ideal for North Wantagh homeowners who want long-term value. Available in privacy panels, picket styles, and decorative options.
Wood fence building provides natural beauty and design flexibility. Cedar privacy fences and custom picket styles can match your home’s architecture. While requiring more maintenance than vinyl, quality wood fencing offers versatility and traditional appeal.
Aluminum fence contractor services deliver durability with elegant appearance – perfect for front yards, pool areas, or decorative boundaries. It won’t rust and needs minimal maintenance. Chain link fence installation provides maximum security and durability at the most economical price, ideal for larger properties where function matters most.
Vinyl and aluminum perform best in North Wantagh’s coastal climate because they resist moisture, salt air, and temperature changes without deteriorating. Vinyl won’t crack, warp, or fade, while aluminum won’t rust like iron can in humid conditions.
Wood can work well if properly treated and maintained, but needs regular sealing to protect against moisture damage. Cedar naturally resists rot and insects better than other wood options. Chain link with vinyl coating provides excellent durability while protecting the metal from corrosion.
The key is matching material to your location and maintenance preferences. Properties closer to water benefit more from vinyl or aluminum, while inland areas with good drainage can successfully use quality wood with proper care.
Most residential fence installations in North Wantagh take one to three days, depending on fence length, material type, and site conditions. A typical backyard privacy fence usually takes two days – one for posts, one for panels or boards.
Factors that extend timeline include rocky soil, existing landscaping to work around, or custom designs requiring additional fabrication. Weather delays are possible, especially in winter when ground conditions aren’t suitable for digging.
Our installation team provides realistic timelines during consultation based on your specific project. We coordinate work to minimize disruption and keep the job site safe and accessible throughout the process.
Permit requirements depend on fence height, location, and type. Most residential fences over six feet require permits, and there are setback requirements from property lines and sidewalks. Corner properties may have additional visibility restrictions.
We handle permit applications as part of our service, ensuring all local codes and HOA requirements are met before installation begins. This prevents costly mistakes and ensures compliance from day one.
Before starting any project, we check local requirements and advise on needed permits. We also coordinate utility marking to ensure safe installation around underground lines. This professional approach protects both you and your investment.
Vinyl requires the least maintenance – just occasional cleaning with soap and water to remove dirt or mildew. It won’t fade, crack, or need painting, making it ideal for busy homeowners. Even after years of salt air and weather exposure, vinyl maintains appearance with minimal care.
Wood needs regular maintenance to prevent rot and insect damage. This includes annual inspection, resealing every 2-3 years, and prompt repair of damaged sections. Cedar resists decay better than other woods but still benefits from protective treatments.
Aluminum is virtually maintenance-free, needing only occasional cleaning. Chain link may need periodic inspection for loose connections, with vinyl-coated versions lasting longer than galvanized options in coastal environments. Proper installation minimizes maintenance needs for all fence types.
Your choice depends on priorities for appearance, maintenance, budget, and use. Vinyl offers the best combination of low maintenance and privacy, popular for backyards where you want maximum benefit with minimal work. It’s cost-effective long-term due to durability.
Wood provides natural appearance and design flexibility, allowing custom heights, styles, and staining that complement your home. However, it requires ongoing maintenance and has higher long-term costs due to treatment and potential replacement needs.
Aluminum works well for decorative applications, pool enclosures, or front boundaries where you want security without blocking views. It offers excellent durability with minimal maintenance but doesn’t provide complete privacy like solid vinyl or wood panels.
Professional installation includes labor warranties from us and manufacturer warranties on materials. Our labor warranties typically cover installation issues for one to five years, ensuring posts stay secure, panels remain aligned, and gates function correctly.
Material warranties vary by manufacturer and fence type. Vinyl often comes with 20-30 year warranties against cracking, fading, or structural failure. Aluminum may include 15-20 year warranties, while wood warranties focus on material quality rather than long-term performance.
We stand behind our work and address installation problems promptly. We also help coordinate warranty claims with manufacturers if material defects occur. Always ask for warranty details in writing and keep documentation for future reference.
