Residential Fencing
Transform your home with custom residential fencing that blends beauty, privacy, and security perfectly.
Why Residential Fencing Matters for Your Home
Your home is your biggest investment, and the right fence protects it while making it look great. Here in Sanford, homeowners choose residential fencing for privacy, security, and curb appeal. A well-installed fence defines your property boundaries, keeps kids and pets safe, and gives you peace of mind. It also adds real value to your home when it comes time to sell.
We understand that every home is different. Maybe you need a tall privacy fence for your backyard pool area, or perhaps a decorative front yard fence that makes your home stand out. Some families want maximum security, while others prioritize style. Whatever your needs, we work with you to design a fence that fits your lifestyle and budget.
The best part about working with local fence contractors in Sanford is we know the area. We understand Florida's weather, from summer storms to intense sun exposure. We also know local HOA requirements and city codes. This means your fence will be built to last and installed correctly the first time.

Choosing the right fence material makes all the difference in how long your fence lasts and how it looks. Each type has its own benefits, and we'll help you pick the perfect one for your home. Here are the most popular options for residential properties in Sanford:
Wood Fencing
Wood fences offer timeless beauty and natural warmth. They work great for privacy and can be painted or stained any color you want. Cedar and pine are popular choices because they resist rot and insects naturally. Wood does require some maintenance every few years, but many homeowners love the classic look. You can choose from styles like board-on-board, shadowbox, or traditional picket fences.
Vinyl and PVC Fencing
If you want a fence that never needs painting or staining, vinyl is your answer. It resists fading from the Florida sun and won't rot, crack, or splinter. Families with kids love vinyl because it's smooth and safe. It comes in many styles including privacy, picket, and ranch rail. The upfront cost is higher than wood, but you'll save money and time on maintenance over the years. Check out our PVC fencing options for more details.
Chain Link Fencing
Chain link offers excellent value and durability. It's perfect for pet containment and defining property lines. While it doesn't provide privacy, you can add privacy slats if needed. Modern chain link comes in colors like black and green that look much better than the old silver style. It requires almost no maintenance and lasts for decades. Many homeowners use chain link for backyards and side yards where privacy isn't the main concern.
Aluminum and Wrought Iron Fencing
For an elegant, upscale look, aluminum and wrought iron fences can't be beaten. They're perfect for front yards where you want security without blocking your view. These fences never rust thanks to powder-coated finishes, and they need very little maintenance. Pool areas often require aluminum fencing to meet safety codes. The ornamental designs add real character to your property. Learn more about our wrought iron fencing services for premium installations.

One of the first questions homeowners ask is, "How much will my fence cost?" The answer depends on several factors, and we believe in being upfront about pricing. Your total cost depends on the fence type, property size, terrain, and any special features like gates or decorative elements.
Chain link fencing typically costs less than wood, which costs less than vinyl or ornamental metal. A basic 150-foot chain link fence might cost $2,000-$3,000, while the same length in vinyl privacy fencing could run $4,000-$6,000. Premium materials like wrought iron cost more but last longer and add significant curb appeal.
Remember that a quality fence is an investment in your home. It increases property value, enhances security, and provides privacy for years to come. Cheap fences that use thin materials or poor installation techniques often need repairs or replacement much sooner. We focus on long-term value, not just the lowest price.
When you get a quote from us, you'll see exactly what's included. We break down material costs, labor, and any additional work needed. Many homeowners are surprised to learn that professional installation costs less than they expected, especially when they factor in the time and effort saved by not doing it themselves.
Keeping Your Residential Fence Looking Great
Different fence materials need different levels of care. Here's what you need to know to keep your fence in top condition:
Wood Fences: Plan to clean and re-stain or paint every 2-3 years. Inspect for loose boards or damaged posts annually. Keep vegetation trimmed back to prevent moisture damage. With proper care, a wood fence can last 15-20 years or more.
Vinyl and PVC Fences: Simply rinse with a garden hose or use mild soap and water for tougher stains. No painting or staining needed ever. Vinyl fences can last 30+ years with virtually no maintenance.
Chain Link Fences: Check for rust spots on older fences and apply rust-resistant paint if needed. Modern galvanized or vinyl-coated chain link resists rust naturally. Tighten any loose fittings and you're done.
Aluminum and Iron Fences: Powder-coated finishes protect against rust and fading. Rinse occasionally and touch up any chips in the coating to prevent rust. These fences last decades with minimal care.
If you ever need repairs or have questions about maintenance, we're here to help. We offer fence repair services for all types of residential fencing. It's better to fix small problems early before they become bigger, more expensive issues.
