Serving High Point, NC and surrounding areas. (743) 600-8003
Your backyard should feel private. We build cedar and pressure-treated privacy fences in High Point with posts set right for local clay soil and permits handled before we start.
Wood and privacy fence installation in High Point involves setting posts in concrete, attaching rails and boards, and pulling the required City of High Point zoning permit before any digging starts - most standard backyard jobs take one to two days once work begins.
High Point sits in a part of North Carolina where summers are hot and humid and the soil is heavy red clay that holds moisture all year. That combination works against wood fencing over time - posts in clay-heavy ground can shift if they are not set deep enough, and boards that are never sealed will start to rot at the base within a few years. A well-built wood fence in this climate starts with the right post depth, the right drainage beneath each post, and a clear maintenance plan for the first year.
If you are still deciding between wood and a lower-maintenance option, we also install vinyl fence installation for homeowners who want a fence that never needs painting or staining.
Walk your fence line and look for sections that tilt noticeably or boards separated from the rails. In High Point's clay-heavy soil, posts that were not set deep enough often start to shift after years of wet-dry cycles. A leaning fence will get worse with each rainstorm - it will not fix itself.
Press your thumb firmly against the bottom few inches of your fence boards where they are close to the soil. If the wood feels soft, spongy, or crumbles easily, rot has set in. High Point's humid summers and heavy rainfall create ideal conditions for wood rot, especially if the fence was never properly sealed.
If your yard now needs to be securely enclosed for safety reasons and your current fence has gaps, is too short, or has sections that could be pushed open, a six-foot solid wood privacy fence provides both the visual screen and physical containment that open or decorative fences cannot.
If you have replaced individual boards or posts more than once in the last few years and the fence still looks rough or has new problem spots appearing, you are past the point where repairs make financial sense. A full replacement with properly set posts will cost less over the next decade than continuing to patch a structurally compromised fence.
We build cedar and pressure-treated wood privacy fences across High Point and the surrounding Triad area. Cedar is the premium choice for homeowners who want a fence that naturally handles humidity without chemical treatment. Pressure-treated pine costs less upfront and performs well over time when it is sealed and maintained properly - we walk every customer through exactly what that maintenance schedule looks like so you are not caught off guard a year after installation.
Both wood types are available with gates in single or double-width configurations. For homeowners who want full backyard privacy combined with screened outdoor living, we also build screened-in porches and screened decks that pair naturally with a new privacy fence. If you are looking for the low-maintenance alternative, our vinyl fence installation service covers the same footprint with no staining or sealing required.

High Point has one of the largest stocks of older established homes in the Piedmont Triad - brick ranches and traditional two-story houses built in the 1950s through 1980s, many with big yards and mature trees. Those homes often have aging fences that have been patched for years and are now past the point of repair. High Point also gets around 45 inches of rain per year, which puts constant moisture pressure on any wood fence that is not sealed and maintained correctly. Building a new fence in this climate means getting the base right from the start - proper post depth, gravel drainage beneath each post, and a clear plan for the first-year sealing that protects the wood before High Point's next wet season.
We work regularly across the Triad, including in Greensboro, NC and Kernersville, NC, where older established neighborhoods and newer subdivisions with HOA rules both require local knowledge to navigate correctly. Regardless of which part of the area you are in, the soil and climate conditions are consistent, and so is our approach to building fences that hold up to them.
Call or submit the form and we will respond within one business day. We will ask about your yard, your current fence situation, and whether you have an HOA to navigate, then schedule a free on-site visit.
We measure your fence line, check for slopes, roots, or obstacles, and talk through wood species and style options. You receive a written quote within a few days that covers materials, labor, permit fees, and old fence removal if needed.
We handle the City of High Point zoning permit before a single post hole is dug. This protects you from permit violations and from issues at resale. It typically adds three to five business days to the start date.
We set posts in concrete, attach rails and boards, and hang any gates. Before we leave, we walk the fence line with you to confirm everything is plumb, every gate swings and latches correctly, and the finished side faces the right direction.
We respond within one business day. Free estimate, written quote, and we handle the High Point zoning permit before a single post is dug.
(743) 600-8003We dig holes to proper depth and add gravel drainage at the base of each post before setting in concrete. High Point's Piedmont clay expands when wet and contracts when dry - that movement is why fences in this area lean. Our method accounts for it from day one.
We pull the required City of High Point zoning permit before any work begins. Your fence will be fully permitted and legal, which matters when you sell your home or if the city inspects your property.
Fence work in North Carolina that is part of a broader improvement project requires a licensed contractor. You can verify contractor license status through the NC Licensing Board for General Contractors before you hire anyone. We are fully licensed and insured, and we provide documentation before work begins.
High Point's furniture industry history means a lot of homes built in the 1950s through 1980s, many with mature trees near fence lines and root systems that complicate post placement. We know how to work around these conditions - not just on newer subdivision lots.
A wood fence in High Point is only as good as the post setting and the first-year maintenance. We build both into the job - proper post depth for local clay soil, permits handled before we dig, and clear guidance on sealing so your investment holds up through the Piedmont's wet seasons.
Screened outdoor spaces that extend your usable backyard through High Point's bug season without sacrificing airflow.
