Wood Privacy Fence in Roanoke, VA
Six foot cedar or treated pine privacy, posts set to depth, gates that still swing right in year five.

- Concrete-set posts with gravel drainage
- Standard 6 ft height, taller where code allows
- Gates built square with adjustable hardware
- Old fence removal and haul-off included
Wood is the material people pick when they want the yard closed off and they want it to look like a yard, not an enclosure. It is also the material that fails first when a crew rushes the posts. In Roanoke that plays out against grade changes, shale you hit two feet down, and freeze-thaw that lifts a shallow post, so we quote the site rather than the linear footage.
What we build in Roanoke
Wood Privacy Fence
Six foot cedar or treated pine privacy, posts set to depth, gates that still swing right in year five.
Vinyl Fence
Heavy-wall vinyl with steel-reinforced gate posts. No sealing, no staining, no repaint cycle.
Aluminum Fence
Powder-coated aluminum that will not rust, rackable for slope, and open enough to keep the view.
Chain Link Fence
The lowest cost per foot we build, installed fast, sized from four feet to eight feet.
Fence Repair and Replacement
Leaning posts, storm damage, sagging gates. We give you an honest call on repair versus replace.

Wood Privacy Fence in Roanoke, VA
Ground-contact rated posts, concrete with gravel at the base so water drains instead of standing, and picket spacing set for the look you want. We talk through cap and trim, stain now or stain later, and which side faces the street.
What Roanoke adds to it
Every wood privacy fence we build here has to deal with grade changes, shale you hit two feet down, and freeze-thaw that lifts a shallow post. That changes post depth, spacing, and sometimes the layout itself, and it is the reason we walk the property before putting a number on paper.
What is included
Materials, labor, utility locates, permit filing, removal and haul-off of an existing fence when there is one, and a written workmanship warranty. No charge for the estimate and no charge for the paperwork.
When this is the right pick
Pick wood when screening is the actual goal. If you want the yard visible and the fence invisible, aluminum is the better spend and we will say so.
Picking a fence for a sloped lot
- Wood privacy racks well and is the most forgiving on an uneven line, which makes it the default choice on valley hillsides.
- Aluminum comes in rackable panels and keeps the mountain view, which matters more here than in most markets.
- Vinyl looks excellent on a flat or gently graded run and needs almost nothing from you, but it steps rather than racks on steep ground.
- Chain link is the practical answer for acreage, dog runs, and rural property lines.
Local crews, written warranty
Our Roanoke crews live here and work here year round. If something needs attention after the build, you are calling the same team that put it in.

Common questions
- Cedar or pressure treated?
- Cedar holds color and resists rot without treatment, and costs more. Pressure treated is the value pick and takes stain well. We quote both so the difference is a number, not an opinion.
- When should I stain it?
- Wait until the wood dries out, usually a few months after install. Staining wet lumber traps moisture and the finish will not hold.
- How much does wood privacy fence cost in Roanoke?
- Pricing depends on linear footage, height, gates, terrain, and whether an old fence has to come out. You get a written number after we walk the property, not a phone guess.
- How long does the install take?
- Most residential yards are a one to two day build once materials are on site. Permit and any HOA review usually take longer than the construction does.
- Is the work warrantied?
- Yes, with a written workmanship warranty in addition to any manufacturer material warranty.
