Residential Fence Contractor
Residential Fence Contractor
Looking for a reliable residential fence contractor who won’t waste your time or cut corners? Hurricane Fence is the crew to call. Since 1994, we’ve helped homeowners across Virginia secure their properties with fences that look great and hold up for years. Our team knows fences inside and out, and it shows in our work.
Why Working With a Residential Fence Contractor Matters
Hiring a professional residential fence contractor means your project gets done right the first time. You don’t have to worry about leaning posts, zoning issues, or mismatched materials. We’re licensed, bonded, insured, and know local regulations like the back of our hand. That means we’ll help you avoid costly delays or repairs later on.
Homeowners often come to us after trying to figure out fencing on their own or dealing with contractors who didn’t return calls. With Hurricane Fence, you’re getting decades of expertise, straightforward communication, and a project timeline you can count on.
Types of Residential Fencing
Every yard is different. That’s why we offer multiple fencing materials so your new fence isn’t an awkward fit. Each type serves a different purpose and has its own perks.
Vinyl Fencing
Low maintenance and built to last, vinyl fencing is a go-to for privacy and durability. It’s ideal for families who want privacy without dealing with rot, rust, or repainting every few years.
Chain Link Fencing
Cost-effective, secure, and fast to install. Chain link is great for pet containment and keeping things simple. It’s especially useful for large yards or areas where visibility is a plus.
Wood Fencing
We only offer cedar and pine for our wood options because they strike the right balance of beauty and performance. Cedar is naturally insect-resistant and weathers beautifully. Pine is affordable and easy to customize.
Composite Fencing
A smart choice for those who want the classic look of wood without the maintenance. Composite materials won’t warp or crack and come in several color options.
Aluminum Fencing
Durable and rust-resistant, aluminum fences are lightweight and make a statement without blocking views. Great for pool enclosures or garden borders.
Ornamental Fencing
These fences bring style to the yard while still offering security. Decorative iron or aluminum options add curb appeal and function for driveways, patios, or side entrances.
Why Hurricane Fence Is the Right Fit
We’re not your average residential fence contractor. Our team takes pride in every step of the process, from the first conversation to the final panel installed.
We’ve been around the block, so we’ve seen what works and what doesn’t. Our crews show up on time, respect your property,leave the jobsite clean. Most of all, we’re not here to push you into anything. We’ll listen, offer advice, deliver a product we’d want around our own homes. That’s probably why most of our business comes from word of mouth.
Custom Options Without the Headache
Your fence should suit your lifestyle, not the other way around. We’ll walk through your needs and help you pick the best style, material, and layout. Want a custom gate for your garden? No problem. Need special hardware for a pool enclosure? We’ve got it covered.
We also work with HOA requirements, historic districts, and other neighborhood specifics so you don’t have to navigate the red tape alone.
How Installation Works
Once you’re ready to move forward, we set up a time for your estimator or project manager to visit the site. This helps us provide an accurate quote and avoid surprises. After that, we’ll handle permits, schedule the installation, and call Miss Utility to mark underground lines.
When it’s time to install, our crew sets the posts and returns once the concrete cures (usually in 5–10 days) to finish the job. We keep you updated the whole way through.
What to Know About Maintenance
Cedar and pine fences will grey over time unless stained, which is up to you. Staining helps keep the color but doesn’t necessarily affect the fence’s lifespan. Vinyl and composite fences require little more than a rinse once in a while. Aluminum and ornamental options may need minor touch-ups but are generally low maintenance.
If something ever feels off or breaks, give us a call. We stand by our work.
Common Questions
How do I pay?
We accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards. You can pay by phone or mail your payment to our Richmond office.
Can I install any height fence I want?
Most cities cap residential fence height at 6 feet. Always check your local rules and HOA guidelines.
Do you handle Miss Utility calls?
Yes. We’ll take care of marking underground utility lines before starting work.
What if I have sprinklers or lighting?
You’ll need to mark those yourself so we avoid damaging them during installation.
What’s best around a pool?
Vinyl picket and aluminum fences are popular for pool safety and visibility.
Do I need my neighbor’s permission?
Not usually, as long as your fence stays on your property. If you’re unsure about property lines, a survey helps.
Will a fence add value to my home?
How do I reach my estimator?
They’ll give you their direct contact info, and our office team can also relay messages if needed.
When will installation begin?
Once we’ve got your permit and utilities marked, we’ll contact you to schedule your install. Weather can affect the date, but we’ll keep you posted.

Not necessarily. Your project manager gives the crew instructions. But if you want to be home, you’re welcome to be.
How long will my fence take?
Timelines vary by project, but we’ll update you every step of the way. Once posts are set, we return after the concrete cures to finish the install.
Can I stain my wood fence?
Yes. Staining keeps the color longer but isn’t necessary. Pine and cedar will naturally grey over time.

Try a vinyl-coated chain link or ornamental aluminum fence. Both are durable and see-through.
Which fences need the least maintenance?
Vinyl requires minimal upkeep and keeps its appearance for years with basic cleaning.
Which fences work best for privacy?
Cedar, pine, vinyl, and composite fences are all solid choices for privacy.
What’s the warranty?

Not necessarily. Your project manager gives the crew instructions. But if you want to be home, you’re welcome to be.
We typically set posts 30 to 36 inches deep, depending on soil and climate conditions.
