Privacy fence installation: wood styles we build

Solid privacy is what most people picture for a wood privacy fence, and spaced board is the lighter alternative.

Choosing the wood

Cedar or pressure-treated?

Both build a good fence. They differ in cost, look and upkeep, and Matt will go through them on your lot.

Cedar

Pressure-treated

Why wood works in Lorain County, if you seal it.

Wood gives you the most privacy for the money and the warmest look of the four materials. The trade-off is upkeep: freeze-thaw winters swell and shrink boards, and sealing slows the moisture that causes cupping, cracking and rot. Posts are where wood fails first, so how deep and how well they are set matters most.

Frost goes deep here. The City of Avon’s Building Department lists a 42-inch frost depth for building footings, as we cover on our Avon fence page. Wood is also the easiest fence to repair a piece at a time: boards, rails and posts can be swapped without redoing the run. See wood fence repair. Prefer no sealing at all?

How a wood fence gets built

Find the line

Matt finds your property pins and talks through height, style and gate spots. Underground utilities are marked through 811 before any digging.

Pick the wood and style

Cedar or pressure-treated, solid or spaced, priced board by board.

Posts, rails, then boards

Posts are set first, rails fastened between them, and boards hung last, with gates framed square.

Sealing advice

You get straight guidance on when and how to seal your particular wood, because a sealed fence outlasts a bare one.

FAQ

Wood fence questions

Cedar or pressure-treated: which is better?

Cedar resists rot naturally and costs more. Pressure-treated costs less and is treated to resist rot. Either lasts best when it is sealed and the posts are set well.

Do I have to seal or stain a wood fence?

It is strongly recommended. Unsealed wood absorbs water, and freeze-thaw cycles then crack and cup the boards. If you want a fence with no sealing, see vinyl fence installation.

How tall can a privacy fence be?

It depends on your city and your yard. In Avon, for example, a side or rear yard fence can be 6 feet, and front yard fences are limited to 4 feet and 70 percent open. See what we found on our Avon page and confirm your own rules with your city and HOA.

Can you repair my existing wood fence?

Yes, including fences we did not build: leaning posts, rotted boards, loose rails and sagging gates. See wood fence repair, or compare with fence replacement.

How much does a wood fence cost?

It depends on footage, height, wood type, gates and ground. Call or text for a free, itemized quote, or read the installation FAQ.

5 stars are not enough. On time for the estimate and the install. Matt was very friendly and professional. And the result was amazing! He explained everything, showed me what he was looking at on the estimate and never left me hanging whenever I texted him. Highly recommend these guys when you need work done. It's nice to know there are still people out there that take pride in their work!
