Yes! We are a leading aluminum fencing contractor across the entire Westchester County area.
Our crews are specially trained in the latest aluminum fence installation techniques, ensuring that your fence will look great, function properly, and hold up to the harsh weather typical of Westchester County.
Aluminum fencing is a popular option for homes and businesses in the Westchester County region. Aluminum fences are strong yet lightweight; with their durable protective coating, aluminum fences easily stand up to the harsh weather conditions of Westchester County.
Other fence materials are less expensive initially, but aluminum fencing requires nearly zero maintenance. Over time, aluminum fencing is a less expensive fencing material, saving time and money when compared to many other alternatives because aluminum fences do not need to be painted or sealed.
If a maintenance-free elegant fence is what you want, look no further than aluminum fencing.
Aluminum fences are very durable! Don't let the light weight fool you. Aluminum is a very strong material used in airplanes, cars, and many other items that are designed to protect you. Aluminum fencing is more than strong enough and durable enough to protect your home or business while standing strong in the face of the Westchester County weather. Typical physical abuse from falling limbs, landscapers, kids, animals, neighbors, and more is usually no problem for our professional-quality aluminum fencing.
It should be mentioned, however, that some discount fencing contractors in Westchester County are known to undercut prices by using lower-quality aluminum fencing, which absolutely does not hold up well. Be careful. You get what you pay for!
Prices on aluminum fences are highly dependent on the amount of fencing you need as well as the exact style, height, and options you select.
We provide aluminum fencing quotes for free! E-mail us or give us a call and our team of friendly, experienced staff will be glad to walk you through the process and plan a consultation.
Important!
We encourage you to speak with one of our fence experts before focusing solely on price! There are cheaper, very poor quality aluminum fence brands available that are not nearly as durable, will fade, will bend, and have limited, if any, warranty. We don't use them.
There are also very inexperienced and unprofessional fence installers who continually cut corners and don't stand behind their work, regardless of what their so-called warranty says.
Aluminum fences must stand up to the physical demands of the Westchester County weather, and physical abuse from falling branches, landscapers, neighbors, animals, and more.
Shopping for the cheapest fence is generally not the best way to choose the fence you want to protect and beautify your home and the people you care about.
Aluminum fences require very little maintenance. Aluminum is naturally rust and corrosion-resistant. In addition, our professional-quality aluminum fencing has been factory-treated, further preventing rust and corrosion while resisting color fading and dull finish issues that are more common with lower-quality aluminum fencing.
For this reason, an occasional rinse with a water hose, a gentle, non-abrasive home cleaner, and a sponge should be sufficient. Apart from that, you should not need to do anything except enjoy your beautiful aluminum fence!
Our aluminum fences are powder-coated at the factory. A powder coating added to an aluminum fence prevents corrosion and makes regular maintenance a breeze by sealing the final color under a chemically bonded layer. It's accomplished by applying an electrostatically charged powder to the metal and baking it into a smooth coating.
If you are considering an aluminum fence for your Westchester County property, you definitely want to protect the beauty and durability of your fence with a powder coating. To minimize your stress, we ONLY sell and install powder-coated aluminum fences for residential and commercial applications.

Don't stress yourself! Our fence experts will gladly come to your property and take all necessary measurements! We are a full-service fence company that specializes in chain link fence installation. You do not need to work hard to get a great new fence.
DIY Fence Estimate
If you'd like to get a rough idea on your own about how much fencing you will need, follow these easy steps:
Chain link fencing is uniquely suited for a variety of applications. Listed below are some of the most popular uses of chain link fencing:
Every local municipality has a separate set of requirements when it comes to building permits, and that includes chain link fencing. Sometimes, the specific height of the fence, placement of the fence, or purpose of the fence can impact the need for a permit. There are also HOA considerations in some areas.
We have installed many chain link fences in almost every possible area across Westchester County so we are happy to answer these questions and guide you through the process.
The best way to get specific answers quickly and accurately is to call your town building code office.
There is no bad time of year to get a cahin link fence in Westchester County. As professional fencing contractors, we build chain link fences across Westchester County all year!
There are certain times during the year when our installation schedule is busier, but our fence team always does its best to get you the fence you need right when you need it. Reach out today to find out what our current schedule looks like. We always have room for one more fence!
Fence placement is ultimately the responsibility of you, the customer. Moving a fence after installation can be costly, so getting a survey to be safe is never a bad idea. In many cases, the property lines are clear and well-marked and installing your fence can be done without an official survey. However, some municipalities do require it, so be sure to check!
Many small fence companies in Westchester County install chain link fencing. Very few specifically train their teams on the best installation techniques and practices for chain link fencing. Unfortunately, this means that your chain link fence is probably not installed as securely as it could be, which ultimately can reduce the quality and lifespan of your chain link fence.
Using inferior installation techniques and improper tools can also damage the chain link fence during installation, which may have the unfortunate impact of voiding the manufacturer's warranty since you chose an unqualified contractor not approved by the manufacturer.
Here are some of the main pitfalls of working with non-professionals:
The Chain Link Fence Warranty is Void
If the individual or company that installed your chain link fence is no longer in business, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless. Additionally, some manufacturers won't warranty their fence material if it was improperly installed or damaged during installation. Both situations are common with non-professionals.
The Fence Almost Certainly Won't Last As Long
As a professional fence company, our team of installers undergoes rigorous training and constant professional supervision. Our dedication to improving our skills, knowledge of the best fencing materials, and best chain link fence installation techniques maximizes the strength and life of your fence. Companies that install chain link fences as something they do "on the side" usually have no idea how much they don't know about chain link fencing or what is best for you and your property.
Your Property May be at Risk
Installing chain link fences in the Westchester County area can be risky. Sudden, harsh weather during the fence installation can blow materials and damage your home. We've seen concrete splatter onto cars or drip down beautiful driveways or walkways as buckets of wet concrete are transported. Deep tire tracks sinking into your grass is another common issue. The secondary damage to homes and yards is common when untrained labor installs the fence.
Additionally, you are at risk if anyone gets hurt on your property while they are working. If you hire an unlicensed or uninsured contractor, you may be liable and your homeowner's insurance may deny payment!
At first glance, hiring a novice to install your chain link fence may save you a few dollars, but in the long run, it is almost certainly a price you cannot afford to pay!
A deer fence is a type of barrier designed to keep deer and other wildlife out of specific areas. It is commonly used to protect crops, gardens, orchards, and landscapes in the Westchester County region from deer browsing and damage. Deer fences are also commonly used to keep deer out of livestock paddocks.
The height of a deer fence is a crucial factor in its effectiveness. For most deer species, a fence height of 7 to 8 feet is recommended to prevent them from jumping over it. However, in areas with larger deer populations or high deer pressure, taller fences may be necessary.
Yes, while deer fences are primarily designed to deter deer, they can also help keep out other wildlife, such as rabbits, groundhogs, and raccoons, that may cause damage to crops and gardens.
Deer fences are typically made from durable materials such as metal or nylon. Some deer fences also use mesh netting. We find that metal and nylon fences are the most efficient at doing the job of keeping deer away in the Westchester County region.
Regulations and permit requirements for installing a deer fence can vary depending on your location and local zoning ordinances. Some fence installations in the Westchester County area do not require a permit. Before installing a fence, it's a good idea to check with your local government or zoning authority to determine if there are any specific rules or permits needed for fencing installations in your area, or give our experts a call and let us help you through the permitting process.
Fortunately, our high-quality deer fencing materials require very little maintenance, but occasional maintenance of a deer fence is important to ensure its continued effectiveness. Inspect the fence periodically for any damage, such as holes or bent posts, and repair them promptly. Trim vegetation around the fence to prevent deer from using it as a jumping platform.
Many homes and businesses in the Westchester County area have the FenceTrac rail system installed on their property. They're a popular choice among our Westchester County customers because they are long-lasting, fully customizable, and need little upkeep while providing protection, privacy, and an aesthetically pleasing addition to any property.
FenceTrac's patented U-channel metal fence frames are formed from galvanized 18-gauge steel for superior strength and durability. The rails and posts have a durable powder coat finish that provides an industrial, weather-resistant finish.
It sure will! The FenceTrac framework is rackable, meaning that it can follow the curve of sloped land. If your property is too steep, a racked approach may be more suitable.
FenceTrac rail systems are designed to be used with nearly any type of rigid infill, so you can create the exact look you want. This innovative fence system can accommodate any infill thickness up to 1", so the possibilities are endless! Some of the popular choices include cedar, pine, vinyl, corrugated steel, wire mesh, and composite boards.
Definitely! Depending on the infill you choose, you can have full privacy, partial privacy, or an open concept. Consider your privacy requirements and choose the right infill material from the options available on the market.
The FenceTrac system itself needs almost no upkeep. If having a low-maintenance fence is a priority, choose an infill material that also requires minimal maintenance, like galvanized steel, vinyl, or composite boards. With the right choice of infill, your new fence will only need to be washed occasionally to maintain its beauty.
Ornamental steel fencing is a great option for properties of all shapes and sizes in the New York & Western Connecticut area. It is a very strong material that creates a high level of security with an unmatched elegant design. If your priorities are design and strength, ornamental steel is a perfect solution for any home or business.

We encourage you to speak with one of our fence experts before focusing solely on price! There are cheaper, inferior-quality fence materials available that will only last for a while.

Fences must stand up to Westchester County high winds, harsh weather, and physical abuse from animals, kids, gardeners, and neighbors. Shopping for the cheapest fence is generally not the best way to choose the fence you want to protect and beautify your home and the people you care about.

DIY Fence Estimate
If you'd like to get a rough idea on your own about how much fencing you will need, follow these easy steps:
Caution!
Fencing is often priced and sold by SECTIONS, not by linear feet! Even when the linear footage is included specifically in price estimates, the total number of sections is a factor in this pricing. So, price per linear foot is only a rough estimate and rarely represents the actual cost of the finished fence!
If you would love to explore and explain this difference, you can speak with one of our fence experts. Be aware that price per linear foot is a ploy many unprofessional fence installers in the Westchester County area use!

Yes! We are a leading vinyl fencing contractor across the entire Westchester County area.
Our crews are specially trained in the latest vinyl fence installation techniques, ensuring that your fence will look great, function properly, and hold up to the harsh weather typical of Westchester County.
Vinyl fencing is a popular option for homes and businesses in the Westchester County region. Vinyl fences are strong enough to stand-up to the harsh weather conditions of Westchester County.
Vinyl fencing requires nearly zero maintenance. Over time, vinyl fencing is a less expensive fencing material than many other fence types. The cost-saving benefits of not requiring paint or sealant make it an attractive alternative.
If a maintenance-free, clean, and modern-looking fence is what you want, look no further than vinyl fencing.
Vinyl lasts a long time, so you don't have to generate or consume as many new resources to replace it. Additionally, vinyl fencing is recyclable, and there is no need to paint or treat it with other chemicals, making it an affordable, sustainable option.
Polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, is the plastic most often used to make a vinyl fence and ranks third among the world's most manufactured synthetic plastics. This material is used to create beautiful fences in several designs and styles, as well as in windows, pipelines, and many other applications in the building industry.
Vinyl fencing is one of the most eco-friendly alternatives available.
Vinyl lasts a long time, so you don't have to generate or consume as many new resources to replace it.

Another massive benefit to your immediate environment and the health of your family and pets is that vinyl fencing does not require abrasive cleaners, paint, or sealers, all of which may contain harsh or even toxic chemicals.
PVC, the material used to make vinyl fences, is nonporous; therefore, it does not readily accept paint. When it comes to fences, many xxxREGION residents select vinyl specifically because it never needs painting, staining, or sealing.
