Customers say: True professional

"I recommend this company~~ there was plenty of communication, everyone was friendly and they were very sweet to my dogs. The work is excellent and they asked me in advance how I wanted a few sections of the fence to sit on my property due to a large slope. I was thankful they did not assume and move along with the project-this showed they understood their work and the customer comes first."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Most fencing projects in Columbia take one to five days for installation, depending on yard size and terrain. However, the full process—including design, permit approval from the Department of Planning and Development Services, and utility line marking—can extend the timeline to three or four weeks. Scheduling with a licensed fence contractor and accounting for weather delays helps keep your fencing project on track.

Helpful?

Common mistakes in Columbia include neglecting to verify property lines with the Richland County Assessor's Office, overlooking permit requirements, and choosing materials that don't withstand local weather. Homeowners sometimes install fences without considering drainage, leading to water damage. Consulting the Department of Planning and Development Services and hiring a licensed fence contractor helps avoid costly errors and ensures compliance with city regulations.

Helpful?

In Columbia, wood and vinyl are popular for fence installation due to their adaptability to the region's humid summers and occasional heavy rains. Pressure-treated pine resists local pests and moisture, while vinyl withstands UV exposure and minimizes warping. For increased security, powder-coated aluminum is favored in flood-prone areas. The Department of Planning and Development Services recommends checking zoning regulations for material restrictions before purchase.

Helpful?

In Columbia, wood fences should be sealed or stained every two years to prevent rot from high humidity and checked for termite activity, as noted by the South Carolina Department of Agriculture. Vinyl fences need occasional washing to remove pollen and mildew. Metal fences require annual inspections for rust, especially after heavy rains. Proactive seasonal care extends the lifespan of your fence and maintains curb appeal.

Helpful?

For fencing projects in Columbia, you must obtain a fence permit from the Department of Planning and Development Services. The application typically requires a detailed site plan, property line documentation, and, in some historic districts, approval from the Design/Development Review Commission. If your fence exceeds four feet in height or is a masonry wall, a separate building permit and inspection are required under city ordinance.
