Short answer: 76 FENCE West Chester provides fence installation, replacement, repair, maintenance, gates and automatic gates, permit and HOA handling, commercial fencing, dumpster enclosures and storm-damage repair in West Chester, PA and nearby Chester County townships. Most projects begin with a free on-site estimate where we match the service to your property and your township’s rules.

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.

How do you choose the right fence service?

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.

Common questions

Questions about fence services

What fence services does 76 FENCE West Chester offer?

We offer fence installation, replacement, repair and maintenance, walk and drive gates, automatic gates, permit and HOA paperwork, commercial and industrial fencing, dumpster enclosures, storm-damage repair and artificial turf. We serve residential, commercial and HOA properties in West Chester, PA and the surrounding Chester County townships.

Should I repair or replace my fence?

Repair makes sense when problems are isolated, such as a few leaning posts or a sagging gate. Replacement makes more sense when posts are failing along most of the run or the fence is near the end of its typical life, which for wood is about 15 to 20 years. We can price both at the estimate.

Do you pull the fence permit for me?

Yes. When you hire 76 FENCE, we prepare and file the permit with your municipality and handle HOA paperwork where it is needed. Triggers vary: West Goshen requires a permit for every fence, Westtown for fences over 40 feet long or around a pool, and East Bradford only over 6 feet.

Do you install fences for businesses and HOAs?

Yes. We install commercial and industrial fencing, security fencing and gates, and dumpster enclosures for businesses, and we work with homeowners associations on community fencing. For individual homeowners in HOA communities, we also help gather the approvals and documentation the association requires before installation.
