A fence should do more than mark your property line. It gives you privacy when you’re in your backyard with family. It keeps your kids and pets safe without you constantly checking the perimeter. It stops the neighbor’s dog from cutting through your yard and adds real value when it’s time to sell.
But only if it’s built to handle what Florida throws at it. Cheap lumber warps in three months under this sun. Poor installation means gaps, leaning posts, and gates that won’t latch by next summer. You’ve probably already dealt with a contractor who didn’t return calls or left the job half-finished.
A properly installed privacy fence in Christmas, FL should last 15-20 years with minimal maintenance. That means using materials graded for this climate, setting posts deep enough to handle soil shifts, and building it square so gates actually work. You shouldn’t have to think about your fence again once it’s up.
We’ve been serving Central Florida since 2004, with roots going back to 1992 in Atlanta. We’re licensed and insured across nine counties including Orange County, where Christmas sits. That means we know the local codes, the soil conditions, and what materials hold up in this specific climate.
We’re not the cheapest option in Christmas, and that’s intentional. You’re paying for #1 grade cedar pickets instead of whatever’s on sale. You’re getting installers who’ve done this for years, not a rotating crew learning on your property. You’re buying a fence that won’t need replacing in five years because we cut corners on materials or installation.
Most of our work comes from referrals in communities like Christmas where people know their neighbors. That only happens when you do the job right and communicate clearly from estimate to cleanup.
You call or message us with your basic needs—privacy fence, pool enclosure, property line, whatever you’re looking to do. We schedule a time to come out to your property in Christmas and take measurements. We’ll talk through your options based on what you actually need, not what costs the most.
You get a written estimate with transparent pricing. No hidden fees for “extras” that should’ve been included from the start. If you want to move forward, we handle the permits and make sure we’re compliant with local regulations. You don’t have to chase down paperwork or worry about code violations down the line.
Installation day, our crew shows up on time with the materials and equipment to get it done. We set posts, build the fence, install gates, and clean up the work area when we’re finished. You do a walkthrough with us to make sure everything’s right. Then you’ve got a fence that does its job for the next couple decades.
Most residential fencing projects in Christmas take 1-3 days depending on size and complexity. We’re not there for weeks disrupting your routine.

We handle wood fencing, vinyl, aluminum, chain link, horse fencing, and estate gates. Wood privacy fences are the most common request in Christmas—people want to block sightlines from neighbors and the road. We use #1 cedar pickets that resist Florida’s humidity and insect damage better than pine or lower grades.
Vinyl fencing works well if you want something that won’t need staining or painting. It costs more upfront but requires almost zero maintenance. Aluminum is good for pool enclosures where you need visibility and airflow. Chain link makes sense for larger properties or if you’re fencing for pets rather than privacy.
If you’ve already got a fence that’s damaged or failing, we do repairs and replacements too. Sometimes it’s just a few rotted boards or a gate that needs rehinging. Other times the whole thing needs to come out because it was installed poorly the first time. We’ll tell you honestly whether repair makes sense or if replacement is the smarter move.
Christmas sits in an area where soil can shift and storms hit hard. We account for that in how we set posts and brace corners. Your fence needs to handle wind load and ground movement, not just look good the day we finish.
Most wood privacy fences in Christmas run between $25-50 per linear foot installed, depending on height, material grade, and site conditions. A typical backyard fence of 150 linear feet costs roughly $3,750-7,500. That includes materials, labor, posts, gates, and cleanup.
Vinyl costs more—usually $30-60 per linear foot—but you’re never staining or replacing rotted boards. Aluminum and chain link fall in different ranges depending on height and style. The biggest cost variables are usually fence height, number of gates, and whether we’re dealing with difficult terrain or need to remove an old fence first.
We give you a written estimate after seeing your property so you know exactly what you’re paying. No surprise charges for “unforeseen complications” that should’ve been obvious from the start.
Vinyl and aluminum last the longest in Florida—20-30 years with almost no maintenance. They don’t rot, warp, or need painting. The tradeoff is higher upfront cost and less privacy with aluminum.
For wood, cedar is your best bet in Christmas. It naturally resists moisture and insects better than pine or pressure-treated lumber. A properly installed cedar privacy fence should give you 15-20 years if you stain it every few years. We only use #1 grade cedar pickets, not the lower grades that warp and crack in Florida’s heat.
The installation matters as much as the material. Posts need to be set deep enough in concrete to handle soil movement and wind. Boards need proper spacing for expansion in humidity. Gates need to be braced correctly so they don’t sag. Cheap materials installed well will outlast premium materials installed poorly.
Yes, most fence installations in Christmas require a permit through Orange County. The county wants to make sure your fence meets setback requirements, height restrictions, and doesn’t block utility access or drainage.
Setback rules typically require fences to be a certain distance from property lines, roads, and easements. Height limits are usually 6 feet for backyard fences and 4 feet for front yards, but this varies by zoning. If you’re in an HOA, you’ll need their approval too before we can start.
We handle the permit process as part of our service. We pull the permits, submit the site plans, and make sure everything’s compliant before installation. You don’t have to deal with county offices or worry about code violations. If an inspector needs to come out, we coordinate that and make sure the work passes.
Most residential fence projects in Christmas take 1-3 days from start to finish. A simple backyard privacy fence for a quarter-acre lot usually takes one full day. Larger properties, multiple gates, or difficult terrain can push it to 2-3 days.
The timeline also depends on permits and material availability. Permit approval through Orange County typically takes 1-2 weeks. Once we’ve got permits and materials staged, we schedule your installation and get it done without dragging the project out.
We’re not there for weeks disrupting your routine. We show up, do the work, clean up, and you’ve got a finished fence. If weather delays us, we communicate that upfront and reschedule rather than leaving your yard torn up.
Depends on what’s failing and why. If you’ve got a few rotted boards, broken pickets, or a gate that won’t close, repair usually makes sense. We can replace damaged sections, rehang gates, reinforce posts, and get your fence functional again for a fraction of replacement cost.
If the posts are rotting below ground, the fence is leaning, or more than 30% of the boards are damaged, replacement is usually the smarter move. Repairing a fence that’s structurally failing just delays the inevitable and costs you more in the long run.
We’ll come out to your property in Christmas, assess what’s actually wrong, and tell you honestly whether repair or replacement makes sense. Sometimes people just need a straight answer about whether to keep limping along or start fresh. We’re not going to sell you a full replacement if a repair will give you another 5-10 years.
#1 grade cedar has fewer knots, straighter grain, and better resistance to warping than lower grades. It’s the top tier of cedar lumber. #2 grade has more knots and imperfections. #3 grade is what you see at big box stores—lots of knots, uneven grain, and it warps fast in Florida’s humidity.
The grade matters because knots are weak points where boards crack and moisture gets in. Straight grain means the board expands and contracts evenly rather than twisting. In Christmas’s heat and humidity, lower grade lumber can warp within months. You’ll see gaps, twisted boards, and a fence that looks rough after one summer.
#1 grade costs more upfront but lasts significantly longer and looks better throughout its life. We only use #1 grade cedar pickets because we’re building fences meant to last 15-20 years, not just pass inspection. You’re paying for materials that actually handle Florida’s climate instead of fighting it.
