Frequently asked questions

How much does a fence cost in Queens?

Most installed fences cost $20 to $60 per foot in 2026 by national figures. City labor, the material, paved yards and access through the house move the price. Our fence cost guide lists prices by material.

Do I need a permit for a fence in Queens?

Usually not. The NYC Department of Buildings does not require a permit for a fence 6 feet or less at a one- or two-family house. Front yards are limited to 4 feet, and landmark properties need Landmarks approval.

How long does a fence installation take?

The work is usually 2 to 3 working days spread over about a week. Add time for the New York 811 notice, any board or Landmarks approval and scheduling.

Who calls 811 before digging?

The one who digs. When we build the fence, we contact New York 811 at least 2 working days before work starts.

Should I repair or replace my fence?

Repair it when the damage is in one spot and the posts are solid. Replace it when the repair costs about half of a new fence or most posts have rotted or rusted.

Who pays for a fence between neighbors?

In New York City the owner who wants the fence normally pays, unless the neighbors agree in writing to share. We know of no law here that forces a split.

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes, we offer free estimates. In fact, along with this free estimate, we offer a FREE initial consultation with our team of experts in order to make sure that our estimate costing is specific to the client’s project. This initial consultation will cover a discussion on material options, area dimension, customizations, and other project specifics. Our team would appreciate if you study the area for fencing ahead of time, in order to provide an accurate picture during the consultation. Also, remember to call us at 718-550-3411 to book your consultation slot ahead of time as our slots get fully booked most of the time.

How soon can you install my fence?

The answer to this question varies as this is really case-to-case. We book our projects and arrange them into a calendar schedule according to a first come first served basis. If our calendar is full and our team’s schedule is hectic, it will take longer for us to cater to your project. Call us at 718-550-3411 to know how soon we have an opening in our calendar. We ensure the consistency in the quality of our work, so we do not make use of third-party services outside of our in-house team. This is the reason why our schedules are packed. Do know that there are peak seasons and seasons of great schedule availability. We recommend calling us for the specifics.

How long will my fence installation take?

The answer is according to the fencing project. Some fencing projects take longer to install compared to others. Fence installations that require deep digging as well as projects that cover a very wide area take a longer time of work. Upon consultation with our team, our experts will be estimating the time of completion, that is, outside of unprecedented events and occurrences. However, this estimated time is subject to variation especially because we uphold our satisfaction guarantee. Up until the point of your satisfaction, we will not declare the project completed. Other influential factors include holidays, and extreme weather conditions that do not allow for installation work. We prioritize our team’s safety greatly. For your project’s time estimate, please call us at 718-550-3411.

Will you obtain a fence permit for my project?

We will assist you in the processing of your permit. Since we so proudly claim ourselves as your security partner, we will make sure to walk you through the whole process of your fence installation, including the paper work processing. If unfamiliar, please read through the process here. Do know that the permit application with the Department of Buildings (DOB), offers an online application as well as an in-person application process. Expect changes in the process due to the COVID-19 pandemic. There may be limited office work hours, please check with that as well. For the zoning regulations, more can be read about it in their page.

What types of fencing materials do you install?

This will greatly be according to the client’s choice. We offer a wide variety of material options ranging from metal (steel or aluminum), wood (cedar lumber), pre-manufactured PVC (vinyl or SimTek), concrete and many more. To know which material suits you fence project best, it would be best to call us at 718-550-3411 to book a consultation slot and have a free initial consultation with our team of experts. Some materials are better suited for specific locations, for example, aluminum fences work better than steel fences when it comes to uneven lots. So, it would be better to be descriptive when explaining the specifics of your lot/area/property for fencing installation.

Are There Legal Restrictions on My Fence?

Yes, many areas in the United States have specific regulations. These regulations include fence dimensions and even fence material. It may differ from area to area, so we always recommend our clients to check with their local regulations. For the New York area, most of this information are accessible online through the Official Website Of The City Of New York. Our team makes sure not to take short cuts when it comes to our fencing work, so from securing the permit to working within the regulations are our top priority. It would be helpful to get to know about your local ordinances prior to consultation so that all these aspects are laid down in the initial stages of planning.

Do I Need to Consult My Neighbors?

Yes, we would recommend informing your neighbors about the upcoming work in your yard. Some homeowner’s association guidelines even include informing your neighbors about the project in advance. Aside from the fact that this may be required, this is also considered common courtesy. There will be disturbance during the duration of our work in your area. Aside from the added noise, our equipment in the area may be considered dangerous elements especially for families with young kids and pets. Even if we proceed with utmost care, there will always be matters beyond our control. Surely, your neighbors will appreciate the extra effort you put into informing them, and they might do the same, comes the time they do get some work done in their spaces.

How Deep Should My Fence Posts Be?

The answer to this question also varies according to the fence type and fence material as well. Average posts need at least a 3 to 4-foot deep hole for proper installation, but it is important to consider that taller fence heights and heavier material will be needing a more secure foundation. To know specific information like this, we would recommend that you get in touch with our team so that our experts would be the ones to estimate a proper depth that is best suited to the project that you have in mind. Please contact us through 718-550-3411 to book your free consultation slot.

Should the Fence Touch the Ground?

Clients actually have the option to have the fence touch the ground or otherwise. The clients who request their fence installation not to touch the ground most likely do so for maintenance and durability purposes. Fences that do not touch the ground have greater chances against weathering from different weathering elements found in soil. Clients who choose securing their fences to the ground do so for privacy and fence stability. Having the fence attached to the ground does away with the open sightline making for better privacy as well as an added layer of stability since the fence material is reinforced to the ground.

Does the Weather Affect the Installation?

Yes, it does affect the time duration of the installation process. When consulting with our team of experts, aside from costing estimate, they also provide you with an estimated time of fence completion. This estimate is affected by factors that are beyond our team’s control, and that includes weather. Extreme weather that does not make for suitable and safe working environment for our team will surely delay the project since we won’t be dispatching our team to the field if it so happens. We have a high regard for our team’s safety. In the event of cancelled work days, we will be in complete communication with you on the changes in the arrangement.

What Material Should I Use for My Fence?

This depends on your fence installation type, area location, purpose and budget. We have offerings that are specific to the installation type. For example, backstop fences are only made of steel since the fence’s function is more on strength and protection (spectator safety). Some area locations also have more suitable materials. For example, vinyl fences and SimTek walls work well for areas with extreme weather conditions since these materials are engineered to withstand all weather conditions to an extreme level. Purpose also plays a part in material choice since we have fence installation offerings that are for specific functions (such as dog kennels). Lastly, budget is a very important factor to consider since some materials like steel are more expensive than others. To know more about our selection, visit our services page or give us a call at 718-550-3411.

How Tall Should My Fence Be?

This depends on the purpose you want your fence installation to serve. When clients go for taller heights, this is usually for privacy purposes. Sport areas are also known to have fences with tall heights to protect spectators as well as serve as a security feature to avoid trespassers from accessing the premises of the court. Residential areas that install fences for more decorative purposes as well as simply to mark their property lines, go for picket styled fences of the shorter height range. If you are unsure as to what height would best suit your project, give us a call at 718-550-3411 and talk to our experts!
