You get more than just a fence when you work with us. You get peace of mind knowing your family, pets, and property are secure behind quality materials that won’t buckle under Long Island’s coastal weather.
No more worrying about privacy in your backyard or security around your property. No more dealing with rotting wood or rusting metal that looks terrible after one winter. Your new fence handles the salt air, the storms, and everything else the coast throws at it.
You’ll actually enjoy your outdoor space again, whether that’s letting the kids play safely in the yard or finally having that private area you’ve been wanting for years.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc has been serving Oyster Bay and the surrounding North Shore communities for years. We understand what works here and what doesn’t.
The coastal climate demands specific materials and installation techniques. We use virgin vinyl that resists salt air corrosion, pressure-treated lumber rated for marine environments, and aluminum that won’t rust in the humidity.
We handle all the permit paperwork with the Town of Oyster Bay, so you don’t have to navigate the building department yourself. From residential privacy fences to commercial chain link installations, we’ve built fencing that lasts in this area.
First, we come out to look at your property and discuss what you need. We measure everything, check for underground utilities, and explain your options based on your specific situation and budget.
Next, we handle all the permit applications with the town. Most residential fencing requires permits in Oyster Bay, and we know exactly what documentation they need and how long the approval process takes.
Once permits are approved, we schedule your installation. We dig the post holes, set everything level and square, and install your fence using proper techniques for coastal conditions. The job site gets cleaned up completely when we’re done.

Vinyl fencing is our most popular option in Oyster Bay because it never needs painting, won’t rot or rust, and handles salt air without deteriorating. We use heavy-duty virgin vinyl with reinforced posts that stay straight even in high winds.
Wood fencing gives you that classic look, but we only use pressure-treated lumber rated for marine environments. Cedar naturally resists moisture and insects, making it ideal for coastal properties. Both options can be stained or painted to match your home.
Aluminum fencing offers security and visibility without the maintenance issues of steel. It won’t rust in the coastal humidity and comes in various heights and styles. Chain link remains the most cost-effective option for larger properties or commercial applications, available in galvanized or vinyl-coated versions.
Yes, most fence installations in Oyster Bay require building permits from the Town of Oyster Bay Building Division. This includes privacy fences over 6 feet in back yards and any fencing over 3.5 feet in front yards.
The permit process typically takes 2-3 weeks and requires a property survey and fence plans. We handle all the permit applications for you, including submitting the proper documentation and following up with the building department.
Corner lots have additional restrictions regarding sight lines at intersections, so the approval process can be more involved. We know these local requirements and make sure your fence design complies with all town regulations.
Vinyl fencing performs exceptionally well in coastal environments because it’s completely resistant to salt air, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. Unlike wood or metal, vinyl won’t corrode, warp, or require ongoing maintenance to look good.
For customers who prefer wood, we recommend cedar or pressure-treated lumber specifically rated for marine environments. These materials resist rot and insect damage better than standard lumber, though they will require periodic staining or sealing.
Aluminum is another excellent coastal option because it naturally resists corrosion and won’t rust like steel fencing. We avoid using galvanized steel in areas with heavy salt air exposure because it eventually breaks down and stains the surrounding area.
Fence installation costs vary based on material choice, fence height, and property conditions. Chain link fencing typically runs $12-16 per linear foot installed, while wood privacy fencing ranges from $20-29 per linear foot.
Vinyl fencing costs $31-53 per linear foot installed in the Long Island area, depending on height and style. While vinyl has higher upfront costs, it often provides better long-term value because it never needs painting, staining, or replacement due to weather damage.
Additional factors that affect pricing include permit fees, existing fence removal, difficult soil conditions, and the number of gates needed. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Most residential fence installations take 1-3 days once permits are approved and materials are delivered. The timeline depends on the fence length, material type, and site conditions like rocky soil or existing landscaping.
The permit approval process adds 2-3 weeks to the overall project timeline. We submit permit applications as soon as you approve the project, so installation can begin immediately after approval.
Weather can affect installation schedules, especially during winter months. We avoid installing fencing during heavy rain or when ground conditions make proper post setting impossible. Spring and fall typically offer the best installation conditions in our area.
Yes, we regularly install fencing on sloped and uneven properties throughout Oyster Bay. The installation technique depends on the degree of slope and the type of fencing you choose.
For moderate slopes, we can step the fence panels to follow the natural grade while keeping each section level. Steeper slopes may require custom grading or retaining walls to create proper fence installation conditions.
Vinyl and aluminum fencing offer more flexibility on sloped properties because the panels can be cut to follow grade lines. Wood fencing can also be adapted to slopes, though it may require additional labor for custom cutting and fitting.
Yes, we provide comprehensive fence repair services for all types of fencing materials. Common repairs include replacing damaged sections, fixing loose posts, repairing gates, and addressing storm damage.
Coastal weather can cause specific problems like salt corrosion on metal components, wood rot in humid conditions, or wind damage during storms. We assess the damage and recommend whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense.
For older fencing that’s experiencing multiple problems, replacement often provides better long-term value than ongoing repairs. We can replace just the damaged sections or upgrade your entire fence to more durable materials that better handle coastal conditions.
