You know that feeling when you step into your backyard and actually feel like it’s yours? That’s what happens when you install the right fence. No more neighbors accidentally wandering into your space. No more worrying about your kids or pets. No more feeling like you’re living in a fishbowl.
The right fence transforms your property from just another house on the block to your family’s private retreat. You’ll use your outdoor space more, enjoy it more, and stop worrying about privacy every time you step outside.
And here’s the thing most homeowners don’t realize until after installation: a quality fence doesn’t just give you privacy—it actually increases your property value by 7-14% while reducing your insurance premiums and giving you leverage in any future property line discussions.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc has been serving Nassau and Suffolk County homeowners since 1999. We’re the contractors who show up when we say we will, finish when we promise to, and stand behind our work long after installation.
We know Wantagh. We understand the coastal weather conditions that destroy inferior fencing materials. We know the local permit requirements that trip up other contractors. We know which materials actually hold up to Long Island’s salt air and winter storms.
Most importantly, we know that your fence project isn’t just about installing posts and panels—it’s about creating the outdoor space your family deserves. That’s why we handle everything from permits to cleanup, so you can focus on planning how you’ll use your newly private backyard.
We start with a property visit to understand exactly what you need. No generic estimates or cookie-cutter solutions. We measure your property, discuss your privacy goals, and explain which materials make the most sense for your specific situation and budget.
Next, we handle all permit applications and utility markings. You don’t have to navigate town hall bureaucracy or worry about hitting underground lines. We’ve done this hundreds of times in Wantagh, so we know exactly what’s required and how to get approvals quickly.
Installation typically takes 1-3 days depending on your property size. Our crew arrives on schedule, works efficiently, and cleans up completely each day. You’ll know exactly what to expect and when to expect it. No surprises, no excuses, no mess left behind.

Vinyl fencing works perfectly for Wantagh homeowners who want maximum privacy with zero maintenance. It won’t fade, crack, or require painting, and it handles coastal weather conditions better than any other material. Most of our vinyl installations come with 20-year warranties.
Wood fencing gives you that classic look, especially popular in Wantagh’s established neighborhoods. We use pressure-treated lumber and proper installation techniques that prevent the rot and warping issues you see with inferior installations. Cedar and pressure-treated pine are both excellent choices.
Aluminum fencing offers the perfect balance of durability and elegance. It’s ideal for front yards or areas where you want security without blocking views. Powder-coated finishes mean no rust or maintenance, and the material handles Long Island’s weather extremes without issues.
Chain link fencing provides maximum security at the most affordable price point. It’s practical for large properties, dog runs, or areas where function matters more than aesthetics. We install both residential-grade and commercial-grade options depending on your needs.
Yes, most fence installations in Wantagh require permits, especially for privacy fences over 6 feet in height. The Town of Hempstead has specific requirements for setbacks, height limits, and materials that vary depending on your property’s zoning.
We handle all permit applications for you, including submitting plans, paying fees, and coordinating inspections. This typically adds 1-2 weeks to your project timeline, but it ensures your fence meets all local codes and won’t cause issues if you sell your home later.
The permit process also requires utility markings, which we coordinate with 811 Dig Safe. This prevents damage to underground lines and protects both your property and our installation crew.
Vinyl and aluminum are your best options for Long Island’s coastal conditions. Both materials resist salt air corrosion, handle temperature fluctuations without cracking, and require virtually no maintenance over their lifespan.
Wood fencing can work well if properly treated and maintained, but it requires regular staining or sealing to prevent rot and warping from moisture exposure. Cedar naturally resists decay better than pine, but both need ongoing maintenance in coastal environments.
Chain link fencing with vinyl coating performs excellently in coastal areas, but standard galvanized chain link will eventually rust from salt exposure. We recommend vinyl-coated options for any installation within 5 miles of the water.
Most residential fence installations take 1-3 days once permits are approved and materials arrive. Simple projects like 100 linear feet of vinyl fencing usually finish in one day, while larger or more complex installations may require 2-3 days.
The permit approval process typically takes 1-2 weeks in Wantagh, depending on the Town of Hempstead’s current workload. We submit applications immediately after your contract signing to minimize delays.
Weather can affect installation timing, especially during winter months. We don’t install fencing when ground conditions prevent proper post setting or when high winds make installation unsafe. We’ll reschedule immediately when conditions improve.
Fencing costs vary significantly based on material, height, and property conditions. Chain link typically runs $15-25 per linear foot installed, while wood fencing ranges from $25-45 per linear foot depending on style and material grade.
Vinyl fencing usually costs $30-50 per linear foot installed, but requires no ongoing maintenance costs. Aluminum fencing ranges from $35-60 per linear foot, with decorative styles at the higher end of that range.
These prices include permits, professional installation, and cleanup. Properties with challenging terrain, extensive landscaping, or unusual access requirements may cost more. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Yes, we provide comprehensive warranties on both materials and labor. Our vinyl fencing comes with manufacturer warranties up to 20 years, while our installation labor is warranted for 5 years against defects in workmanship.
Wood fencing warranties vary by material—cedar carries longer warranties than pressure-treated pine. Aluminum fencing typically includes 15-20 year manufacturer warranties against rust and structural failure.
Our labor warranty covers issues like loose posts, gate alignment problems, or panel failures caused by improper installation. Normal wear from weather or accidental damage isn’t covered, but manufacturing defects and installation errors are fully covered.
We can install fencing during winter months when ground conditions permit proper post installation. Frozen ground prevents digging, so we typically suspend installations when temperatures stay below freezing for extended periods.
The best installation months in Wantagh are April through November when ground conditions are consistently favorable. Winter installations are possible during mild weather windows, but may require scheduling flexibility.
We recommend scheduling winter projects with flexible timelines, understanding that installation may be delayed by weather conditions. Spring scheduling fills up quickly, so winter planning for spring installation often provides better availability and pricing.
