"I found Shepherd fence to be extremely dependable, timely, they explained the work to be done and were hardworking. I was so stunned at the excellence of their cleanup after completing the work. I found my yard in immaculate condition. The workmanship was on point! Each team member was kind, and courteous. I added an enclosure after the fact for my trash cans and they completed that as well. I am so happy with my new fence. It has improved my property in value and appeal! Thank you Shepherd Fence you are not just a fence company you become family!"

"What a great experience! I love my new fence from Brookview Fencing. Josh and Nicole were awesome: punctual, professional, super nice people and they killed it! They communicated with me constantly and explained things to me that I hadn't thought of as far as getting in and out of my gate and adjusted accordingly. They even filled in some low spots in my yard with extra dirt! I will definitely recommend Brookview Fencing to everyone."

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."

"Tony was amazing he worked on my fence for 4 days. I felt the estimate quite low so gave him more. He was kind and was on time. Fence looks great. Only wished he would have put in that 4th post instead of a post buddy,. But we will see if it holds up. Definitely will hire him again."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

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 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?

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?

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?

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.
