Our Wood Fence Installation Process
We start with a consultation to understand your layout, privacy needs, gate placement, and any HOA or permit requirements. This allows us to plan the fence correctly before installation begins.
After reviewing your property and preferences, we create a clear fence layout based on your goals, terrain, and property lines. We review material options, layout considerations, and timelines so you can move forward with confidence.
If required, we assist with basic drawings, material details, and documentation to help streamline the approval process and avoid delays.
Before installation begins, we coordinate 811 utility marking to identify underground lines and prepare the site properly. This step ensures a safe installation and helps prevent service interruptions.
Our team completes the fence installation with proper post depth, concrete footings, and clean alignment. Once the project is complete, we perform a final walkthrough to review alignment, gate operation, and overall finish with you.
In addition to new installations, we offer Wood fence repairs and replacements for damaged pickets, rotted posts, or aging fences that need an upgrade.

How We Build Strong, Long-Lasting Wood Fences
We focus on quality materials, proper installation, and clean workmanship to build wood fences that last in North Carolina conditions.
Quality Wood Materials
We use pressure-treated lumber selected for outdoor use. It’s built to handle moisture, heat, and seasonal changes common in North Carolina.
Strong Post Installation
Fence posts are sized based on the fence and gate needs and are set securely in concrete. This helps keep the fence straight, stable, and properly supported over time.
Clean and Consistent Layout
Each fence is built with straight lines, even spacing, and proper alignment. Attention to layout helps the fence look clean and professional once installed.
Durable Gate Setup
Gates are installed using reliable, outdoor-rated hardware. We focus on proper spacing and alignment so gates open smoothly and close correctly.
Built for Daily Use
From rails to pickets, materials are installed with strength and durability in mind. This helps the fence hold up to wind, weather, and everyday use.
Careful Finish and Cleanup
We take time to finish the job cleanly and leave your yard in good condition. Every fence is checked before we consider the job complete.

Maintenance and Care Tips for Wood Fence
- New pressure-treated wood needs time to dry. Wait about 6-8 weeks before staining or sealing so the wood absorbs the finish properly.
- A quality stain or sealer protects against moisture, sun damage, and cracking. Most fences need reapplication every 2–3 years, depending on sun exposure.
- Do not let soil, mulch, leaves, or grass touch the fence. Trapped moisture at the base is the most common cause of rot.
- High pressure can damage wood fibers and shorten fence life. If you pressure wash, use low pressure or a garden hose with mild soap.
- Look for leaning posts, loose boards, or sagging gates. Fixing small issues early prevents bigger repairs later.
- Bushes and vines hold moisture against the wood. Leave space so air can flow and the fence can dry after rain.
- Soft spots, dark discoloration, or cracking boards should be addressed quickly. Replacing a board early is much easier than repairing sections later.
- Gate hinges and latches may loosen over time. A quick adjustment helps gates stay aligned and operate smoothly.
Wood fencing needs regular maintenance, but proper care helps it stay strong and look great for years.
