Permits & Regulations

Many cities in St. Charles County require a permit for fence installation, especially for fences taller than four feet or those installed near a street or property line. Requirements vary by city. We recommend contacting your local building department. We can advise you based on our 30+ years of experience in the area.
Missouri pool fences must meet code requirements including minimum 48-inch height, self-closing and self-latching gate hardware, and proper clearance from the pool edge. We install pool fences that meet these codes and pass inspection. We will walk you through everything required for your specific city.
Many HOAs in St. Charles County have rules about fence height, style, material, and color. We recommend reviewing your HOA documents before requesting an estimate so we can design a fence that meets your community's requirements. We have experience working within HOA guidelines across St. Charles, O'Fallon, and Wentzville.

Materials & Durability

Ornamental aluminum and quality vinyl fences typically last 25 to 50 years or more with minimal maintenance. Chain link is also extremely durable. Wood fences can last 15 to 20 years with proper sealing and care. We will help you choose based on your budget, maintenance preference, and long-term goals.
For maximum privacy, we recommend a wood board-on-board fence or a vinyl privacy fence at 6 to 8 feet tall. Vinyl holds up better to Missouri's humidity and UV exposure over time, while wood delivers a warmer natural look. We can walk you through the tradeoffs for your specific property.
Missouri's combination of hot summers, cold winters, and humidity can be tough on fence materials. Vinyl and ornamental aluminum handle these conditions better than wood, which can warp, split, or rot if not properly sealed and maintained. We always recommend materials suited to our local climate and will be upfront about the maintenance expectations for any option.

Installation & Timeline

Most residential fence installations are completed in one to two days. Larger properties or complex terrain may take longer. Commercial projects are quoted on a case-by-case basis. We provide a clear timeline with every estimate so there are no surprises.
We handle both. We repair damaged fence sections, posts, gates, and hardware from storm damage, rot, or general wear. We will give you an honest recommendation on whether a repair or full replacement makes the most financial sense for your situation.
Yes. We always contact Missouri 811 (the Dig Rite service) before any installation to have underground utilities located and marked. This is required by law and is a standard part of every job we do.
