Hampstead Fence Installation

Hampstead has grown quickly, and the fence work reflects it. New subdivisions keep opening along US 17, golf communities have filled in around them, and a steady stream of owners are fencing a back yard for the first time in a house that has been standing for two years. On the other side of the market are the older places closer to the water, on land that has been in the same family for a long time, where the fence question is about a boundary or a dog rather than a covenant.

The covenants come first

In the newer communities the architectural committee decides more than the homeowner does, and that is not worth fighting. Approved materials, allowed styles, and which way the finished face has to point are all set in the covenants before anyone picks up a tape measure. We build the submittal package, wait for the letter, and then install. It costs a couple of weeks and it saves the far more expensive experience of taking a fence down.

Coastal without being oceanfront

Hampstead sits back from the beach but it is not an inland town. Salt comes across from the sound and the waterway, the humidity is heavy most of the year, and the sun does steady work on any finish that was not built to take it. Our aluminum carries a SolarShield powder coat for exactly that reason, vinyl does not corrode at all, and hardware is chosen for corrosion resistance rather than price. On a lot backing to marsh or water, that specification is the difference between a fence that looks new in year five and one that is streaked with rust stains.

Sand, wind, and what actually holds

The soil here drains fast, which spares posts a long soak but gives them very little lateral grip. On a wide-open lot in a new subdivision, with no mature trees left to break the wind, the footing is doing all of the work. We size depth and diameter to the fence and the exposure and set every post in concrete. Where a homeowner wants a full-height solid privacy line, we will build it, and we will build the posts for the load it is going to catch instead of treating it like a fence in a sheltered yard.

We answer the phone around the clock, seven days a week, and estimates are free and on-site. Call (910) 765-0965 and we will measure, review what your community requires, and put a written quote in your hands you can take to the committee.
