Fence Installation Process

Here's Exactly What Happens Next

First, we come out to look at your property and talk through what you want. We’ll measure the area, check for any underground utilities, and discuss material options that make sense for your budget and goals.

Once you approve the plan, we handle any necessary permits and order your materials. We schedule the installation when it works for you, not just when it’s convenient for us.

Installation day starts with marking the fence line and digging post holes to the right depth for your soil type. We set the posts, let them cure properly, then install your fencing sections. Before we leave, we clean up completely and walk through the finished project with you.

The whole process typically takes one to three days depending on the size of your project. You’ll know exactly what to expect before we start.

Wood Vinyl Privacy Fence

Materials That Actually Last Here

We install wood privacy fences, vinyl fencing, chain link, and decorative picket fences. Each material has its place depending on what you need and how much you want to spend.

Wood fencing gives you that classic look and can be stained or painted to match your home. Vinyl costs more upfront but requires almost no maintenance and won’t fade, crack, or need repainting. Chain link is your most economical option and works great for pet containment or basic property boundaries.

Whatever material you choose, we install it to handle Folcroft’s weather conditions. That means proper post depth, quality hardware, and installation techniques that prevent sagging, warping, or premature failure. You’re getting a fence that will still look good and function properly years from now.

Most residential fence installations take one to three days depending on the length of fence and material chosen. A typical backyard privacy fence usually takes two days – one day for setting posts and letting concrete cure, another day for installing fence panels or boards. Weather can affect timing, especially if we get heavy rain that makes the ground too muddy to work safely. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your estimate and keep you updated if anything changes. Linear footage, terrain challenges, and permit requirements can all affect the schedule, but we don’t drag projects out unnecessarily.
Most fence installations in Folcroft require permits, especially if your fence is over four feet tall or located near property lines. The permit process typically takes one to two weeks and costs between $25-100 depending on fence height and location. We handle the permit application for you because we know exactly what the township requires and how to avoid delays. Some HOA neighborhoods have additional restrictions on fence materials and styles, so we check those requirements too. Getting proper permits protects you from having to tear down and rebuild your fence later, and it ensures your fence meets local safety and setback requirements.
Vinyl and pressure-treated wood both handle Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw cycles well, but they have different maintenance requirements. Vinyl fencing won’t rot, fade, or need painting, making it ideal if you want minimal upkeep. Quality vinyl can last 20-30 years without major issues. Pressure-treated wood costs less initially and gives you that natural look many homeowners prefer, but it needs periodic staining or sealing to prevent weathering. Cedar is another good option that naturally resists insects and moisture. We avoid untreated wood and cheap materials that won’t survive more than a few winters here.
Fence installation costs depend on material choice, fence height, and site conditions. Chain link typically runs $15-25 per linear foot installed. Wood privacy fencing ranges from $25-40 per linear foot depending on board style and height. Vinyl fencing costs $30-50 per linear foot but requires virtually no maintenance over its lifetime. These prices include materials, labor, and basic site preparation. Costs can increase if we encounter rocky soil, need extensive grading, or have to work around existing landscaping. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
We take care to minimize damage to your existing plants and lawn, but some disruption is unavoidable during installation. We’ll walk through your property beforehand to identify any plants or features you want protected and plan our access routes accordingly. Post hole digging and equipment access will leave some marks on your lawn, but grass typically recovers within a few weeks. If we need to remove or relocate plants, we discuss that during the estimate phase. We always clean up debris and try to leave your property in better condition than we found it. Most homeowners are surprised by how little disruption there actually is.
Fence posts in this area typically need to be buried at least two feet deep, but we often go deeper depending on fence height and soil conditions. The rule of thumb is one-third of the total post length should be underground. For a six-foot privacy fence, we’re usually digging post holes 2.5 to 3 feet deep. Folcroft’s clay-heavy soil actually helps with post stability once concrete cures, but it can be challenging to dig in wet conditions. We use proper concrete mix and allow adequate curing time so your posts won’t shift or lean over time. Corner and gate posts get extra depth and concrete for additional stability.
