Fence Installation FAQ for Durham Homeowners

How often should Durham homeowners get fence installation?
Given Durham's hot, humid summers averaging 88°f with afternoon thunderstorms, most homeowners benefit from fence installation at least once a year. Red clay stain removal from driveways and siding (year-round) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Durham most need fence installation?
Brick ranch homes throughout Durham County and Victorian and craftsman homes in Trinity Park, Watts-Hillandale are the most common home types in Durham and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
Do I need a permit to install a fence?
Most municipalities require permits for fence installation. Requirements vary by height, material, and location. We handle permit applications as part of our standard process.
How deep should fence posts be set?
A general rule is one-third of the total post length, with a minimum of 2 feet for most residential fences. Posts in soft soil, high-wind areas, or supporting gates should go deeper.

Vinyl and aluminum fences have the lowest maintenance and can last 30+ years. Cedar and redwood last 15–20 years with proper treatment. Pressure-treated pine is the most affordable wood option at 10–15 years.
