Fence Company in Orlando, FL: Installation, Repair & Gates

Orlando Fence Company serves homeowners across Orlando, Winter Park, Winter Garden, Windermere and Kissimmee with fence installation, repair and gate work that fits the climate and soil of Central Florida. Whether you are searching for a fence company near me in Orlando or need help with a fence that has shifted after a storm, we handle wood and vinyl privacy fencing, chain link, aluminum and ornamental iron, pool barriers, automatic gates and everything in between. The same crews do every job, from the first site visit to the final post set in concrete, and they know the sandy clay that settles unevenly, the Gulf humidity that works on wood and metal alike, and the storm season that tests every fence line.

Most properties in the subdivisions that make up greater Orlando are already fenced, and that means we spend as much time on repair and replacement as on new work. A fence that has leaned or failed after years of ground movement is not always a candidate for replacement, and we quote the honest call: repair the posts that matter and keep the rest, or replace the whole run if that is the better spend over the next decade. Call (689) 400-2205 for a free estimate, or read through our service pages to understand what we do and why.

Why Fences Lean in Orlando: Clay Soil and Rotted Posts

A fence that leans in Orlando almost always starts with a post problem, not a panel problem. The sandy clay soil here swells when wet and shrinks when dry, and that seasonal movement works a post back and forth year after year until it racks out of plumb. At the same time, moisture collects at the ground line where wood meets soil, and under the heat and humidity of a Florida summer, even pressure-treated pine will rot at that exact point, the one carrying the load. By the time a homeowner notices a section sagging or a gate dragging, the damage is usually deeper than the visible panel.

We assess a fence line by walking the whole run, not just the section that prompted the call. We test every post for movement and rot, not just the one that moved, and we check whether the concrete footing itself has heaved or shifted, or whether the post has failed inside a sound footing. That difference matters, because it tells us what can be fixed. A fence with sound pickets, rails and stringers and a handful of failed posts is worth repairing. We reset or replace those posts, set them deep in concrete, and the rest of the fence carries on for years. A fence where the posts have rotted at the ground line along the whole run is at the end of its life, and repairing it section by section costs more over five years than replacing it once. We quote both options when both are real, so you know what you are paying for. On rotted wood: we replace wood that has decayed, and moisture at the ground line is the cause. We do not perform termite or pest inspections, apply chemical treatments or carry out pest control, which is a separate regulated trade. If you have questions about the condition of your fence, call (689) 400-2205 to schedule a free estimate, or visit our Fence Post Repair & Replacement page for details on how we handle posts that have failed.

The maintenance cycle you choose also shapes how long a fence lasts. A cedar privacy fence under this sun and humidity wants cleaning and re-staining every two to three years, and that routine is what decides whether it lasts closer to ten years or closer to twenty. A pressure-treated pine fence with the same care lasts slightly longer at lower cost. Vinyl and chain link ask much less of you, which is why they are popular in this market, but each material has a place and a price. We help you choose the right one for your property and your budget.

Storm Damage Fence Repair in Orlando

Hurricane and tropical storm damage to fences is common in this region. A strong wind can push an entire run of fence over along the same line, snap posts at grade, or strip panels clean. When that happens, a fence rebuilt to the same standard as the original is likely to fail the same way. The better approach is to rebuild with heavier posts, deeper concrete footings, and hardware rated for the load. We provide a free damage assessment, photograph each section, and prepare a written estimate that you can give to your insurance carrier if you choose to file a claim. This documentation helps you and your insurer understand what happened and what repair or replacement will cost.

What we do not do: we do not represent you to your carrier, we do not act as an adjuster, and we do not promise that any repair will be covered by your policy. Coverage decisions rest with your insurance company, and the terms of your policy determine what is paid. We help you document the damage so you have the facts in hand when you call your carrier. If you have storm damage to your fence, Storm Damage Fence Repair is our specialty, and we can start with a site visit and photographs.

Cedar, Pine, Vinyl or Chain Link: Choosing for This Climate

Choosing a fence material for Orlando means weighing real trade-offs. Cedar is beautiful and naturally rot-resistant, but it costs more and needs re-staining every two to three years in this climate to hold its color and protect the grain. Pressure-treated pine does the same job at lower cost and lasts just as long with the same care, making it the smarter budget choice for a privacy fence you plan to stain. Vinyl and PVC fencing require almost no maintenance and hold their color in the sun, but they are stiffer than wood and do not rack as easily to follow sloped terrain, and they cost more upfront. Chain link is the toughest per dollar and comes in galvanized (silver) or powder-coated black, with gauge and mesh size determining how rigid it is and how long it will last. Aluminum and ornamental iron are popular for pool fencing and front yards where aesthetics matter, and they can be stepped or racked to follow grade without looking awkward.

Maintenance is the hidden cost. A wood fence that gets cleaned and re-stained on schedule will look good and last longer. One that is neglected will fail faster and cost more to repair. Vinyl and chain link shift that burden to the front end, in the material cost, and then ask almost nothing of you. We quote every job by the linear foot and price it on site, because slope, access, gate count and what you are tearing out all change the number.

Permits, HOA Rules, Property Lines & Pool Barriers

Fence permits and height rules vary by city and county across the Orlando area. In most jurisdictions, residential fences are subject to setback rules (distance from the property line), height limits (commonly four to six feet in the backyard), and corner-visibility requirements on corner lots. Many cities in the area require a permit before installation begins, while others do not. If your property is in a master-planned community or governed by a homeowners association, deed restrictions and HOA architectural standards almost always apply, and they frequently govern fence height, material and color. It is worth checking your HOA rules and deed restrictions before you design your fence, and architectural approval is usually required before work starts. Requirements vary by jurisdiction, so always verify with the Orlando building department and your HOA before starting your project.

On property lines: we are fence contractors, not land surveyors. We install a fence on the line you identify, working from your existing survey or property plat. Determining where a property line actually lies is the work of a licensed land surveyor, and if there is any doubt about the boundary, we recommend confirming it in writing beforehand and getting any neighbor or association consent in writing as well. On pool barriers: we install pool fencing to meet the pool barrier codes that apply at your address, with self-closing self-latching hardware that closes and latches on its own. We do not certify compliance, and we are not pool barrier inspectors. Final determination of compliance rests with the local building official. No barrier replaces adult supervision of children. On utility lines: setting fence posts is excavation, and we request Florida 811 utility locates before we dig. Locates cover participating operators only and do not mark private lines such as irrigation or landscape lighting, so please tell us if you have those on your property. We are fully insured and offer a certificate of insurance on request. Requirements vary, always verify with the Orlando building department and your HOA before starting your project.
