"Starting from the beginning to the end result John and his team from Basement Gurus were amazing. I first met with John to go over my basement and all my water issues in my basement which mind you is built in 1965. He looked over everything and explained what he saw and explained the system that would resolve my issues. He went over all about his products and services and was very good to answer any questions I had which I typically have allot of questions since I like to fully understand everything for my own knowledge. He gave me a price which took me alittle bit of time to think about and decide on. I am definitely not made of money but understood the investment and peace of mind made it worth it. I trusted in him and his crew to deliver and let me tell you THEY HIT IT OUT OF THE PARK! They showed up when promised. Started working right away and didn't stop until nearly 7pm until everything was done and I was super happy. If you are in the fence about John and his crew. Don't be! They do what they say they will do and I have no doubt that if anything goes wrong John is going to be one call away. Thanks so so much guys. I will recommend you to everyone!"

"Luis was the first pro to respond to my request for quotes and was very flexible with coming out for an estimate. His quote was very reasonable and he was available to start in just a few days. Luis and his crew removed our old fence, cleared out the dead area and put in the new fence in about half a day. The team was quick, efficient, polite and did great work. I will definitely call Luis again for our next need."

"Jim and his team were very professional throughout and did an awesome job renovating our exterior porch that enabled us to proceed with our initial concrete project. Jim's recommendation in 3D allowed us to visualize the plans in advance and the end result was perfect for our needs. I will be reaching out to Lockhart Construction for future work and highly recommend that you do the same!!"

"Right from the start, our experience with Fence and Deck Connection was terrific. The sales rep showed us options at various price points and when our initial selection was beyond our means he showed us a less expensive alternative that was perfect. Once the contract was signed and materials delivered, the installation manager and crew showed up on time as scheduled and worked quietly, courteously and very professionally. It was obvious that they knew what they were doing. The manager came by daily to inspect what work was done and provided us with an accurate timeline for completion of the work. Every step in completing this significant investment was done professionally. We could not ask for better service and highly recommend Fence and Deck Connection."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Before starting a fencing project in Wilmington, confirm your property boundaries with a recent survey to avoid disputes. Review local zoning regulations on fence height and placement through the Wilmington Zoning Office. Gather all required documents for your fence permit application and check for any outstanding property fees or code violations. If your property is in a floodplain or historic area, secure extra approvals to keep your project on track.

Helpful?

For fencing projects in Wilmington, you must obtain a building permit from the Wilmington Department of Licenses and Inspections before starting any work. This process requires submitting a completed application, three sets of fence plans, and a detailed plot plan. If your property is in a floodplain or historic district, additional approvals from the Wilmington Zoning Office or Historic Preservation Commission may be necessary. Always resolve outstanding property taxes or code violations first.

Helpful?

In Wilmington, common mistakes include building fences over property lines, neglecting to obtain a fence permit from the Wilmington Department of Licenses and Inspections, and using prohibited materials. Homeowners often overlook the need for extra approvals in historic or flood-prone areas. Underestimating maintenance needs can also lead to costly repairs. Careful planning and adherence to local codes help ensure your fencing project is successful and compliant.

Helpful?

Fencing in Wilmington requires regular inspections for rot, rust, or storm damage, especially after heavy rain or snow. The Wilmington Department of Licenses and Inspections recommends prompt repairs to prevent code violations and fines. Cleaning, sealing, or painting your fence annually helps it withstand local weather and maintain curb appeal. Staying proactive with maintenance protects your investment and ensures continued compliance with city regulations.

Helpful?

For fencing projects in Wilmington, pressure-treated wood, vinyl, and aluminum are top choices due to their resilience against the city's humid climate and seasonal storms. Wrought iron is also popular for historic neighborhoods. The Wilmington Department of Licenses and Inspections prohibits materials like barbed wire, sheet metal, and plywood for residential fences. Consult local fencing suppliers familiar with Wilmington's codes to ensure your materials meet all requirements.
