Why custom matters:

A Fence Built for Your Property, Not a Panel Kit

Prefabricated fence panels are built in fixed widths for flat, level ground. On a property with any slope, that usually means racking, trimming, or stepping the panels, and gaps that get harder to hide the steeper the grade.

We start every fencing project by walking your property line, not pulling a stock panel size off a shelf. What we build afterward follows your grade, your corners, and your gate locations exactly.

Wrought Iron or Aluminum: What Actually Matters

Metal fencing comes up in almost every fencing conversation we have with homeowners in West Hartford, Farmington, and Avon, and it usually comes down to the same two options. Wrought iron and steel have a clear edge in raw strength, which matters most for pool enclosures, commercial security, or a property with real security concerns. Aluminum is lighter, resists corrosion well, and asks less of you over the years, which counts for something against Connecticut road salt and repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Some properties split the difference: a wrought iron or steel entry gate paired with aluminum panels along the rest of the line, strength where it matters most and less upkeep everywhere else.

What Affects the Cost of a Fence

Fencing is priced project by project, since every property line is different. A few things shape the final number.

  • 01Total linear footage of the fence line
  • 02Material, whether that is wrought iron, steel, or aluminum
  • 03Height and security requirements, including pool code compliance
  • 04Gates, including whether they are manual or automated
  • 05Site conditions, including grade, terrain, and access for installation

The most accurate way to get a number for your property is a free on-site estimate. We walk your fence line, talk through material and gates, and send a written estimate within two to three business days.

The process:

How a Fencing Project Works

Four steps, from your first call to a fence installed on your property.

1

Tell Us About Your Project

Call, email, or fill out our form with a few photos of the area you want to fence in.

2

Site Measurement Visit

We walk your property, take exact measurements, and talk through material, height, and gates.

3

Written Estimate

Within two to three business days, you receive a written estimate with full project details.

4

Fabrication & Installation

Once approved, we build your fence in our West Hartford shop and install it on site.

Residential & Commercial Fencing

From backyard enclosures to commercial perimeter lines, we build fencing sized to the property, not a stock catalog.

Homes, Estates & Businesses
We design fencing for backyard enclosures, full estate perimeters, and commercial lots, each built around how the property is actually used.
Security & Safety
Pool enclosures built to meet safety codes and commercial perimeter fencing that deters trespassing, every project fabricated with code compliance and durability in mind.

Materials & Finishes

Choose the metal and finish that fits your property, your budget, and how much upkeep you want to deal with.

Premium Material Selection
Wrought iron for timeless elegance, steel for maximum strength, or aluminum for a lighter, rust resistant option. We help you weigh the trade-offs before we build.
Custom Finishing Options
Powder coating in a range of colors or galvanized protection against rust, finished to hold up through Connecticut winters.

Design & Restoration

No two properties look the same, and your fence should not either.

Common questions:

Common Questions About Fencing

How much does a custom fence cost?
Cost depends on the total linear footage of your fence line, the material you choose, the height and security requirements, and whether gates are part of the project. The most accurate way to get a number is a free on-site estimate, where we walk your property line and talk through options.
Wrought iron or aluminum, which is better for my property?
It depends on what matters most to you. Wrought iron and steel have a clear advantage in raw strength, which matters for pool enclosures, commercial security, or properties with specific security concerns. Aluminum is lighter, resists corrosion well, and needs less attention over the years, especially against Connecticut road salt and freeze and thaw cycles. Some properties mix both, a steel or wrought iron entry gate with aluminum panels along the rest of the line.
Do you install pool fencing that meets code?
Yes. We design pool enclosures and other safety fencing to meet Connecticut code requirements for height and gate hardware, and can walk through the specifics for your property during a consultation.
Can you repair or restore an existing iron fence?
Yes. We restore and refinish existing iron and steel fencing, from small repairs like a bent panel or rusted post to a full sanding and refinish of an older fence line.
Do you handle gates as part of a fencing project?
Yes. Entry gates and driveway gates are a common part of a fencing project, whether manual or automated. We can design your fence and gates together so they match in material and style.
How long does a fencing project take?
After a site visit and measurements, you'll usually have a written estimate within two to three business days. Fabrication and installation timelines depend on the total footage, material, and current shop schedule.
Do you serve homes outside West Hartford?
Yes. Most of our work is within about ten miles of our West Hartford shop, including Farmington, Avon, Simsbury, and Bloomfield, and we take on projects throughout Central Connecticut depending on scope.
