Fence contractor & supplierFence installation, repair, custom gates and materials in Washington, DC. Licensed, insured, in-house crews since 1986.
Washington DC is rowhouses, alleys and tight lot lines, and fencing here is precise work. Front-yard fences have to respect public space and height limits, back-yard fences often run along alleys and shared walls, and many neighborhoods sit inside historic districts.
Expert Fence has built fences across the District since 1986, from Capitol Hill and Georgetown to Petworth, Brookland, Chevy Chase DC and east of the river. We pull DC permits, handle historic-district paperwork when it applies, and fabricate custom gates for alley and driveway openings in our own shop.
Permits in Washington, DC: issued by the DC Department of Buildings. Properties in DC historic districts may also need review by the DC Historic Preservation Office before a fence goes up.
We confirm the rules for your exact address and handle the permit, HOA paperwork and Miss Utility marking as part of the job.
