Frequently Asked Questions

Do you install fences in Raleigh?

Yes. Thomas Fence Co has a Raleigh location at 1206 N Broad St, Fuquay-Varina, NC 27526. We install vinyl, aluminum, wood and chain link fences across Raleigh and Wake County, including Cary, Apex, Garner, Wake Forest and Holly Springs.

How much does a fence cost in Raleigh?

Every yard is different, but an average yard runs about $6,000–$7,000. The cost varies with fence type, length, terrain and site conditions, and our free detailed estimate gives you the exact price.

Do I need a fence permit in Raleigh?

Yes. Raleigh requires a zoning permit to add or move a fence, or to replace 50% or more of an existing residential fence. Changing material, height or location can also trigger one.

My Raleigh neighborhood has an HOA. Can you help?

Yes. Most HOAs want a drawing, the fence style and color, and a product spec sheet before they approve. If you ask, we'll fill out and submit the HOA approval forms for you, and we don't install until your HOA says yes. Many Triangle HOAs only allow certain colors or heights, so we bring samples that fit your HOA's rules.

Will a fence hold up to Raleigh's red clay and storms?

Yes, if it's set right. We set posts deep in concrete for the clay soil, and vinyl and aluminum stand up to humidity and summer storms without rotting or rusting.

What are the steps from quote to install?

We follow the same four steps on every job, which we call the Thomas Timeline. 1) Free Consultation: we come out, measure, show you samples and give you a written quote. 2) Contract & Secure: you sign and place a deposit, typically one-third (1/3) of the job total, to lock in your materials and spot on the schedule. 3) Permits & Prep: we handle the permit paperwork, fill out and submit your HOA approval forms if you ask and call 811 to mark underground utilities. 4) Expert Installation: our crew builds your fence, cleans up and does a final walkthrough with you.

How fast can you install in Raleigh?

Most home fences take 1 to 3 days to build once we start. We typically install about 2 weeks after your permit and HOA approval come through. We'll give you a date when you sign.

What warranty do I get?

You get the manufacturer's warranty on the materials plus our workmanship warranty on the installation, which runs 1 to 5 years depending on the job. If something we built isn't right, call us and we'll come back and fix it.

What fence works best for a pool in Raleigh?

Powder-coated aluminum is a popular choice for pools. Thomas Fence builds aluminum pool enclosures to meet City of Raleigh and Wake County pool barrier codes, with self-closing and self-latching gate hardware. Aluminum gives a wrought iron look without rust, and its multi-layer coating resists corrosion in North Carolina humidity.

How can I pay for a fence in Raleigh?

Thomas Fence offers financing on approved credit for North Carolina projects. The main option is Wells Fargo, with 0% financing for 12 months for qualifying homeowners. Every quote starts with a free, detailed estimate after a consultation, so you know the full cost of materials and installation before you sign.

Where is Thomas Fence Co's North Carolina office?

1206 N Broad St, Fuquay-Varina, NC 27526. Call (919) 725-7746.

Do I need a fence permit in Fuquay-Varina?

The Town FAQ says no permit is needed inside town limits and the ETJ, but the posted ordinance text mentions a fence permit. Call Fuquay-Varina Planning to confirm before you build.

How tall can my fence be in Fuquay-Varina?

Front yard fences can be up to 4 ft and cannot be opaque. Side and rear fences can be up to 6 ft, measured from the front plane of the house back.

Do you repair fences you did not install?

Yes. We repair wood, vinyl, aluminum and chain link fences in the Fuquay-Varina and Raleigh area no matter who installed them. Repairs start at $1,200.

Do you install fences in Holly Springs and Apex?

Yes. Our Fuquay-Varina crew installs and repairs fences in Holly Springs and Apex. Holly Springs does not require a permit for most fences and caps front yards at 4 feet and back yards at 6 feet. Apex rules are confirmed with the Town before we order materials.

Do I need a permit to repair my fence in Raleigh?

Raleigh requires a zoning permit if you replace 50% or more of a fence, or if the repair changes the material, height or location. Smaller like-for-like repairs usually do not need one. We check before we start.
