We're AFA Member Installers (American Fence Association), and we work from your existing survey, coordinate with HOAs when deed restrictions apply, and handle Oregon 811 utility locates before we dig a single post hole.

Fence Installation and Repair in Portland (97212)

Portland's neighborhoods present real fencing challenges. Narrow lots mean limited setbacks and tight working conditions. Deed restrictions and HOA architectural standards frequently govern fence height, material, and color in master-planned communities, and those rules vary across Greater Portland. The city and county set their own fence height, setback, corner-visibility, and material requirements, and permits are required in some jurisdictions and not others. Our team navigates those rules with you and the local building department before we start.

We install wood and vinyl privacy fences, chain link, aluminum and ornamental iron fencing, and gates ranging from simple swing gates to automatic driveway gates. We repair fence runs brought down by severe weather, reset posts that have shifted or rotted at the ground line, replace individual pickets and rails, and get gates working smoothly again. Since 2016, we've worked on properties throughout Portland and the surrounding area, learning the specific site configurations and code requirements that apply to your address.

How a Fence Job Works in Portland

Step 1: Call us at (971) 521-9633 or request a free on-site assessment. We'll visit your property, walk the fence line with you, discuss what you want to accomplish, and identify any site constraints (utility lines, HOA rules, setback requirements, or tight access). We'll ask whether you have an existing survey and confirm the fence line you want to follow.

Step 2: We provide an honest estimate and timeline. Before any digging, we'll file for an Oregon 811 utility locate to mark underground lines. Our crews then set posts in concrete at proper spacing, install stringers and pickets or panels, and finish with cap and trim. For wood fences, we use cedar or pressure-treated pine depending on your budget and preference. For chain link, we tension the mesh properly and set corner and end posts with anti-sag bracing. For gates, we hang them plumb and square, check operation, and install self-closing or self-latching hardware if you need it. For automatic gates, we set the operator, test the safety features, and walk you through the control panel.

Step 3: We clean up debris, remove equipment, and walk the finished job with you. Your property is left clean and the fence is ready to use.

Wood privacy fence installation in Portland typically runs from $32 per linear foot for a basic pressure-treated pine fence to higher costs for cedar or board-on-board construction. Vinyl fencing starts at $42 per linear foot and requires no staining or maintenance. Chain link is the most affordable option, starting at $19 per linear foot. Aluminum and ornamental iron fencing begin at $46 per linear foot. Fence repair work starts at $475 for post replacement or structural fixes. Gate installation and repair start at $495, and automatic driveway gates begin at $3,100 depending on the operator and control system. The final cost depends on fence height, material choice, post spacing, site access, and whether the job requires racking (stepping the fence up or down a slope) or stepped installation. Storm damage assessment is free, and we can help you document damage for an insurance claim. Call us at (971) 521-9633 for a free estimate on your specific project.

Do I need a permit to install a fence in Portland?

Permit requirements vary across Greater Portland jurisdictions. Some areas require a permit for any fence installation, others only for fences above a certain height or in certain setback zones. The city or county building department for your address will have the final answer. We coordinate with the local building department and help you understand what's required before we start work.

My fence is leaning and I'm worried it will fall. Can you repair it or do I need a full replacement?

A leaning fence is usually a sign that one or more posts have shifted, rotted at the ground line, or lost concrete footing. We assess the damage on-site. Often we can reset the post in new concrete, replace the rotted section, or install anti-sag bracing to straighten the run and make it stable again. Replacement is the better choice only when the post damage is too extensive or the fence itself is beyond repair. We propose repair first whenever the fence justifies it.

What's the difference between a tamped post and one set in concrete?

A post set in concrete is more stable and lasts longer, especially in areas where the ground stays damp or freezes. Concrete keeps water from pooling at the base of the post and slows rot at the ground line. Tamped earth is cheaper and faster but provides less support and allows moisture to accumulate. We typically recommend concrete-set posts for privacy and ornamental fences, and we use concrete on all our repairs and new installations.

My HOA has rules about fence height and material. What do I need to know?

Deed restrictions and HOA architectural standards frequently govern fence height, material, color, and style in Portland neighborhoods. Those rules vary significantly across master-planned communities. Check your HOA documentation or contact your HOA board before you call us. We'll work from the rules you provide, coordinate with your HOA if approval is required, and make sure your fence meets both local code and your community's standards.

A tree branch from my neighbor's property hangs over my fence. What are my options?

Branches that overhang your property can be trimmed back to the property line, but the work must be done carefully to avoid damaging the tree or the neighbor's property. Property line rules are specific to your lot and your neighbor's lot. We work from your existing survey and the fence line you identify. For questions about boundary disputes or tree ownership, a licensed land surveyor can determine the exact property line. We can help with fence installation or repair once the boundary and tree issue are settled.

Are you fully insured?

Yes, we are fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. We can provide a certificate of insurance on request. Oregon requires a Construction Contractors Board (CCB) license for any construction work done for compensation, and we work in compliance with Oregon law and local code requirements in every jurisdiction we serve.

We'll document the damage and help you understand what happened and what the repair or replacement will cost. We can help you document the damage for an insurance claim.
