Fencing Expertise for St. Matthews Homeowners

St. Matthews' single-family lots, many with mature landscaping and established sight lines, present real constraints for fence work. Tight side yards, mature trees, and proximity to neighboring properties mean post holes must be dug with precision and utility locates are non-negotiable. Pool fences are common in this neighborhood, and every installation must meet Kentucky state code and local authority requirements. Ornamental iron and aluminum fencing define many of the area's front-yard boundaries, and wood and vinyl privacy fences dominate the rear lots where homeowners want both durability and aesthetics.

We have served St. Matthews and the greater Louisville area since 2015. Our team installs wood, vinyl, chain link, and ornamental metal fencing. We repair and replace gates, handle automatic driveway gates, and restore weathered wood fences with professional staining. We are fully insured for general liability and workers' compensation, and we hold membership in the American Fence Association as an AFA Member Installer.

How Fence Work Happens in St. Matthews

Step 1: Call us at (502) 679-4471 or request a free on-site assessment. We visit your property, walk the fence line, identify the existing damage or layout, and discuss what you want to build or repair. If you have an HOA or deed restrictions, we note those details. If you need a permit, we explain what your city or county requires.

Step 2: We call Kentucky 811 to locate underground utilities before any post hole is dug. Once utilities are marked, we set posts in concrete, install rails and stringers, and hang boards or panels to your specifications. For pool fences, we install to meet local pool barrier codes, with final determination resting with your local authority. For ornamental iron, we ensure proper gauge, finish, and hardware. For gates, we set hinges, latches, and self-closing hardware so everything operates smoothly. We work with your existing property lines and install on the line you identify.

Step 3: We remove debris, clean up the site, and walk through the finished work with you. Your property is left ready to use.

What is the difference between vinyl and wood privacy fencing for a St. Matthews backyard?

Wood fencing, typically cedar or pressure-treated pine, offers classic appearance and can be stained or sealed to suit your aesthetic. It requires periodic maintenance and staining to hold its finish, but many St. Matthews homeowners prefer its warmth and the option to customize color and board style (board-on-board, side-by-side, or shadow-box). Vinyl and PVC fencing is maintenance-free, will not rot, and resists fading, but has a fixed appearance and cannot be stained. Both materials work well in the East End; the choice depends on your maintenance preference and budget.

Do I need a permit to install a new fence in St. Matthews?

Fence permits are required in some jurisdictions within the Louisville area and not in others. Height, setback, and material rules vary by city and county. We recommend contacting the St. Matthews city building department or your county clerk's office before starting work. If your property is in a master-planned community or HOA, deed restrictions and architectural standards may govern fence height, material, and color, and those rules must be verified before installation. We work with your local authority's requirements and can help coordinate the permit process if one is needed.

My pool fence gate is sagging and won't close properly. Can it be repaired or does it need replacement?

A sagging gate is usually caused by hinge wear, post settlement, or anti-sag bracing that has failed. In many cases, we can repair it by adjusting hinges, reinforcing the frame with additional bracing, or resetting the post in concrete. If the frame is cracked or severely warped, replacement is the better choice. Call us at (502) 679-4471 for a free assessment. We will tell you honestly whether repair holds or replacement makes sense.

My wood fence is weathered and gray. Can it be restored to look new?

Yes. Fence staining and restoration starts at $950 and involves cleaning the wood, sanding if needed, and applying a quality exterior stain or sealer. This service works best on pressure-treated pine or cedar that is structurally sound but has lost its finish. If boards are rotted, cracked, or missing, we replace those boards before staining. Restoration can add years to a wood fence's life and is often a better spend than full replacement. Call us at (502) 679-4471 to discuss your fence's condition.

What should I do if my fence was damaged in a storm?

Call us right away at (502) 679-4471. We offer a free damage assessment and can document what happened to help you with your insurance claim. We can explain what repairs or replacement will cost and help you understand your options. Storm damage repair often qualifies for insurance coverage, but approval depends on your policy and the carrier. We help you document the damage; the final decision on coverage rests with your insurance company.

Are you fully insured for fence work at my St. Matthews property?

Yes. We are fully insured for general liability and workers' compensation. We can provide a certificate of insurance on request. Our team carries the American Fence Association Member Installer certification. You can work with confidence knowing your property and our crew are protected.

I have an HOA. Do I need approval before installing a new fence?

Most master-planned communities in the St. Matthews area have HOA architectural standards that govern fence height, material, color, and placement. Before we begin work, we recommend reviewing your deed restrictions and submitting any required architectural request to your HOA. Many HOAs approve fence work quickly if plans meet their guidelines. We are happy to work with your HOA's requirements and can coordinate with them if needed. Verify your specific rules with your HOA before moving forward.
