Your property gets a perimeter that doesn’t block your view but makes it harder for anyone to walk straight from the street to your door. That extra time and effort is what matters when you’re thinking about security in a community where property crimes still happen regularly.
Chain link doesn’t rot, warp, or need repainting every few years. You hose it down once in a while if pollen builds up, and that’s it. The galvanized steel resists rust even when Florida’s humidity and afternoon storms hit it daily.
Most installations finish in one to three days. You’re not dealing with weeks of disruption, contractors parked in your driveway, or waiting around for crews to show up. The fence goes in, the job gets done, and you move on with your life.
We started in Metro Atlanta over three decades ago and expanded into Central Florida in 2004. We’ve been working in Alafaya and the surrounding Orange County communities long enough to know what holds up here and what doesn’t.
You’re not getting a crew that learned fencing last month. Our installers understand Florida’s soil conditions, wind loads during storm season, and how to set posts that stay stable for decades. We’ve handled enough properties near UCF and the residential neighborhoods around Alafaya to know what homeowners here actually need.
We don’t hide costs or add surprise fees after you’ve already said yes. You get a clear number upfront, and that’s what you pay.
You reach out, and we schedule a time to look at your property. We measure the area, check for any obstacles or grade issues, and talk through what you’re trying to accomplish. You tell us the height you need, whether you want galvanized or vinyl-coated, and if you need gates.
We give you a price that covers materials, labor, and cleanup. No vague estimates or “we’ll see when we get there” language. You know what it costs before we start.
Once you approve, we schedule the install. Our crew marks the fence line, sets the posts in concrete, and installs the chain link fabric and tension wire. We make sure gates swing properly and latch securely. Most jobs wrap up in a couple of days unless your property has unusual terrain or a particularly long perimeter.
After we’re done, you’ve got a fence that’s ready to handle Florida weather without you needing to do anything but occasionally rinse it off.
Ready to get started?
You’re getting galvanized or vinyl-coated chain link that’s built to resist corrosion in Florida’s coastal environment. Alafaya sits close enough to the coast that salt air affects how materials hold up over time, so we use options that account for that.
We install the fence at whatever height makes sense for your property—typically four to six feet for residential, but taller if you need more security or privacy. You can add privacy slats if you want to block sightlines without going to a solid fence that catches wind during storms.
All posts get set in concrete for stability. Gates are included and installed with hardware that won’t rust out in two years. We clean up the site when we’re done, so you’re not left with piles of dirt or leftover materials in your yard.
The fence is designed to let wind pass through, which matters during hurricane season. Solid fences catch wind like sails and get damaged or torn down. Chain link flexes and lets air through, so it stays standing when storms roll through Central Florida.
Most homeowners in the Orlando area spend between $1,400 and $2,300 for a standard residential chain link fence installation. The cost depends on how much linear footage you need, the height of the fence, and whether you choose galvanized steel or vinyl-coated options.
Galvanized is the more affordable choice and holds up well in Florida’s climate. Vinyl-coated costs a bit more but gives you color options like black, green, or brown if you want the fence to blend better with your landscaping.
If your property has steep grades, rocky soil, or requires multiple gates, that can add to the cost. We give you an exact price after we’ve seen your property, so you’re not guessing based on averages.
A properly installed chain link fence in Alafaya typically lasts 20 years or more. Galvanized steel resists rust and corrosion even with Florida’s humidity and frequent rain. Vinyl-coated options add another layer of protection and can extend the lifespan even further.
The key is proper installation. Posts need to be set deep enough and in concrete to handle ground movement and wind loads. If the installation is done right, the fence stays stable through hurricanes, afternoon thunderstorms, and years of sun exposure.
You’re not dealing with the rot and decay issues that wood fences face here. Chain link doesn’t warp, split, or need regular treatments to stay functional. It just sits there and does its job.
Most residential fence installations in Orange County don’t require a permit, but there are exceptions depending on your property’s location and any HOA rules that apply to your neighborhood. If you’re near a corner lot, conservation area, or have specific deed restrictions, you might need approval before installing.
We can help you figure out if your project needs a permit. We’ve worked in Alafaya long enough to know which situations require one and which don’t. If you do need a permit, we can walk you through the process or handle it as part of the installation.
HOAs in some Alafaya neighborhoods have rules about fence height, style, or placement. It’s worth checking your HOA guidelines before you start, especially if you live in one of the newer planned communities near UCF. We’ve dealt with plenty of HOA requirements and can install fences that meet those standards.
Yes. Chain link is one of the better fencing options for Florida’s storm season because it allows wind to pass through instead of catching it like a solid panel. When hurricanes or severe thunderstorms hit, solid fences act like sails and often get torn down or damaged. Chain link flexes with the wind and stays in place.
The key is proper installation. Posts need to be set deep in concrete, and the fabric needs to be tensioned correctly so it doesn’t sag or pull loose during high winds. We’ve installed chain link fences that have been through multiple hurricane seasons without needing repairs.
You’re also not dealing with the debris issues that come with wood fences. When wood fences break apart in storms, you’ve got boards and splinters flying around. Chain link stays intact, and if a section does get damaged, it’s easier and cheaper to repair than replacing entire panels.
Galvanized chain link is steel coated with zinc to prevent rust. It’s the standard option and holds up well in Florida’s climate. You get a silver-gray metallic finish that’s functional and cost-effective.
Vinyl-coated chain link has a layer of colored vinyl over the galvanized steel. It costs more but gives you color options—usually black, green, or brown. The vinyl adds extra corrosion resistance, which can be useful if you’re close to the coast or in an area with particularly harsh conditions.
Both options last a long time in Alafaya. Galvanized is the more popular choice for budget-conscious homeowners who want durability without extra cost. Vinyl-coated is for people who want the fence to look a bit more polished or blend into the landscaping. Either way, you’re getting a fence that handles Florida weather without constant maintenance.
Almost none. You might hose it down once or twice a year if pollen, dirt, or salt buildup bothers you. That’s it.
Chain link doesn’t need painting, staining, or sealing like wood. It doesn’t crack or fade like vinyl panels. The galvanized coating or vinyl layer protects the steel from rust, so you’re not dealing with corrosion issues unless the fence gets seriously damaged.
If a gate starts sticking or a latch gets stiff, a little lubricant fixes it. If something does get damaged—a car backs into it, a fallen tree branch hits it—repairs are straightforward and inexpensive compared to other fence types. You’re not replacing entire sections or repainting to match the existing finish.
