Homeowners and property managers around West Chester, PA rarely call with a tidy request. More often it is “the back section is leaning and the HOA wants it fixed,” or “we are getting a pool and need a fence by June.” This page sorts the services so you can see where your project starts. We also install artificial turf, which pairs well with dog runs.

Start with what is on the ground now and what you need it to do. The table below covers the most common situations.
| Your situation | Where to start |
|---|---|
| No fence yet, or adding a new run | Fence installation |
| A few leaning posts, broken boards or a sagging gate | Fence repair |
| Posts failing along the whole run, or a style you want to change | Fence replacement |
| A limb or tree came down on the fence | Storm damage repair |
| A new walk gate, double drive gate or alley gate | Gate installation |
| A powered gate across a driveway or farm lane | Automatic gates |
| Washing, staining and seasonal upkeep | Fence maintenance |
Should you repair or replace an old fence?
Repair when the problems are isolated; replace when they are everywhere. Two or three soft posts can be reset, but rot at ground level along most of a wood run usually means the fence is near the end of its life.
For reference, 76 FENCE’s typical lifespan guidance puts wood at about 15 to 20 years and chain link at 15 to 20 years or more. If your fence is in that range and repairs keep coming back, pricing a replacement alongside the repair is worth it. We will tell you honestly which makes more sense at the estimate.
Do you handle permits and HOA paperwork?
Yes, on every project that needs them. Permit triggers vary widely around the borough: West Goshen requires a zoning permit for every fence, Westtown requires one for fences over 40 feet long or any pool enclosure, and East Bradford only for fences over 6 feet.
Our fence permit service covers the township side, and HOA approval help covers community associations, which in some townships must sign off before the permit is issued.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Business parks, warehouses, multi-unit rentals and restaurants need different things than a backyard: security, access control, durable materials and screening. Our commercial fencing work includes steel and chain link perimeter fencing and gates, and dumpster enclosures that keep trash areas tidy behind downtown buildings and HOA clubhouses.

What happens after you pick a service?
Every service starts the same way: a free on-site estimate and a written quote, followed by permits and the PA One Call request wherever digging is involved. Replacements can need a permit as well; Westtown’s code, for example, covers both installation and replacement of fences over 40 feet long. Most residential installs take about a day or two on site once materials arrive, and weather can shift the schedule.
