What You Should Know About Fence Installation & Repair

Understanding materials, costs, and making the right fence decisions for your Phoenix property.

Fence Basics

Whether you're installing a new fence or repairing an existing one, understanding your options helps you make better decisions. Phoenix's climate presents unique challenges for fencing materials.

Important Things to Know

🪵 Material Choices

Wood: Requires regular staining/sealing in Phoenix heat. Cedar and redwood hold up better but cost more. Vinyl: Low maintenance but can warp in extreme heat. Block Wall: Most durable, highest upfront cost. Chain Link: Economical but less privacy.

☀️ Phoenix Climate Impact

Extreme summer heat and intense UV exposure damage fencing faster than moderate climates. Wood dries out and cracks. Vinyl can fade and become brittle. Block walls handle heat best but monsoon rain can cause settling issues.

🔨 Repair vs. Replace

Replace 1-2 damaged fence panels: usually worth repairing. Replace more than 30% of fence: often better to replace entirely for consistent appearance. Structural issues with posts: needs proper repair before cosmetic fixes.

📏 HOA & Permits

Most Phoenix HOAs have strict fence rules about height, color, and materials. City permits required for fences over 6 feet. We handle permit paperwork and ensure HOA compliance.

⚠️ Common Problems

Phoenix fences commonly suffer from: sun-damaged wood, loose posts in settled soil, wind damage from monsoon storms, gate hardware failure, and block wall cracks from foundation movement.

🌡️ Best Installation Timing

Fall through spring ideal for installation. Summer work possible but more challenging. Avoid monsoon season (July-September) for new installations when possible due to ground saturation and weather delays.
