Fence Installation & Repair
Silver Spring, MD
Privacy, security, and pool-code fencing built by Silver Spring's trusted family-owned contractor — set in concrete footings that hold true through every Maryland freeze-thaw season.
Fence Installation & Repair in Silver Spring, MD
A fence is only as good as its posts, and in Silver Spring that is where most fences fail. Shallow posts set in our heavy clay soil heave and lean within a season or two of Maryland freeze-thaw. We set every post in concrete footings below the frost line so the line stays plumb for decades. As a family-owned contractor with 21+ years across Montgomery County, we also handle pool-code and permit rules and back the build with a 5-year workmanship warranty.
We install wood, vinyl, aluminum, and chain-link fencing for privacy, security, pets, and pool barriers in Wheaton, Bethesda, Kensington, and Takoma Park — and repair leaning or rotted sections affordably. Combine fencing with a retaining wall on a grade change, a slip-resistant pool deck, or new landscape plantings to screen the line. Every job begins with a free, fixed written estimate and a careful property-line review.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about fence services in Silver Spring, MD.
How much does a fence cost in Silver Spring, MD?
Installed wood privacy fencing in Silver Spring typically runs $30–$55 per linear foot, vinyl $40–$70, aluminum $35–$65, and chain-link $18–$35. A typical 150 ft wood backyard runs roughly $4,500–$8,250. Gates, height, terrain, and demolition affect the total. SiteDoctorMD provides a free, itemized written estimate.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Montgomery County?
Many residential fences under a certain height do not require a permit, but pool barriers, taller fences, and corner-lot sight-line rules have specific requirements in Montgomery County. We review the rules for your property during the estimate and flag anything that needs a permit before work starts.
How deep should fence posts be set in Maryland?
Posts should be set in concrete footings below the local frost line — generally about 24–36 inches — so freeze-thaw cycles in Silver Spring soil cannot heave them. Shallow posts are the number-one reason fences lean within a few years; we never shortcut footing depth.
Can you repair my existing fence instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. If posts are sound, we can replace damaged sections, pickets, rails, or hardware affordably. If posts have rotted or heaved, targeted post replacement or a section rebuild is the better long-term value. We give an honest assessment during the free visit.
Which fence material lasts longest in Maryland?
Vinyl and aluminum require the least maintenance and resist Maryland humidity and freeze-thaw very well. Pressure-treated wood is cost-effective and attractive but needs periodic sealing. We match material to your priorities — privacy, budget, maintenance, and look — during the consultation.
