Fence Company Serving Huntsville, AL

We install and repair fences across Huntsville from our base in Athens, 25 miles west. Huntsville is the biggest market we cover and the most varied: older in town streets under mature trees, and subdivisions that were open field five years ago. The fence that suits one looks wrong on the other.

Recent Huntsville work

What Huntsville properties ask for

• New build back yards. Houses go up faster than fences here, so we do a lot of first installs on bare lots, mostly six foot wood or vinyl privacy.
• Older in town properties. Established trees, tight access, and a fence coming out before a new one goes in.
• Pool barriers. Aluminum around the water with self closing, self latching gates. The pool fencing page has the requirements.
• Estate and ornamental fencing. Black aluminum on front and boundary runs where the fence is meant to be seen.
• Commercial work. Perimeter and security fencing for premises and yards, on the commercial fencing page.

Ground conditions change across the city

Post setting is where a Huntsville job turns unpredictable. The ground shifts a lot across the area, from workable valley soil to rock that turns a ten minute post hole into an hour. Mature trees in the older neighbourhoods bring root systems that decide where a post can go, whatever the plan said.

Neither one is a problem once we know about it. Both become a problem when somebody prices a fence off a phone call and the crew meets rock on day one. We walk the line and check the ground before quoting, which is why our number holds.

Do you need a permit in Huntsville?

Permit rules follow the jurisdiction your property sits in, and Huntsville sets its own instead of following the City of Athens rules we cover elsewhere on this site. Check with the City of Huntsville before you order material, and check your HOA separately if you are in a covenanted subdivision. The two approvals have nothing to do with each other.

Scheduling and lead times

Two things drive how soon your fence goes in: how busy the season is, and whether the job waits on an approval. Spring and early autumn run busiest. A straightforward back yard with no HOA submission moves faster than a job sitting until a board meets.

We give you a realistic date at the estimate, not an optimistic one, and if a material has to be ordered in, that shows in the schedule too.

Repairs and storm work

Not every call is a new fence. A leaning section, a dropped gate, or a run flattened by a limb are all repairs, and it is worth asking before you assume the whole fence has to go. Our fence repair page covers what we can fix in place.

Being based in Athens puts us 25 minutes out instead of around the corner. That affects scheduling, not the work, and you should hear it from us up front instead of working it out later.
