Fence Company in White Plains, NY
Privacy vinyl, ornamental aluminum, and cedar fencing built for White Plains properties — from Gedney to Battle Hill.
A Fence Company That Knows White Plains
White Plains is two cities in one: a high-rise downtown core surrounded by leafy residential neighborhoods like Gedney Farms, Battle Hill, Rosedale, and the Highlands. We've fenced properties on both sides of that divide. Near the center of the city, homeowners usually want maximum privacy from foot traffic and neighboring buildings — tall vinyl panels with locking gates. Out toward Gedney and North Street, the work shifts to ornamental aluminum around pools and cedar board fencing that suits larger, older lots.
Corner Lots and Sight Lines
One thing that surprises White Plains homeowners: corner properties face stricter rules than mid-block lots. Because two street frontages are involved, the city limits fence height near intersections so drivers' sight lines stay clear. If your home sits on a corner in Battle Hill or Ridgeway, we'll measure the sight triangle during the estimate and design the fence so it passes inspection the first time — usually by stepping the height down or pulling the fence line back from the corner.
What We Install Here Most
The three requests we hear most in White Plains: white or tan vinyl privacy fencing for backyards near busier streets, black aluminum for pool enclosures that have to meet New York State's 4-foot barrier code, and cedar picket or board fencing for front yards in the established neighborhoods where a solid white wall would look out of place. If your existing fence is leaning after a winter of freeze-thaw, our repair crew can often reset posts without replacing the whole run.
Permits, Surveys, and the Details We Handle
The City of White Plains Building Department reviews fence applications, and most installations need a survey showing the property lines. We ask for your survey up front (or help you order one), file the paperwork, and build to the approved plan. That diligence matters here — lot lines in older White Plains neighborhoods don't always sit where the hedges suggest.
We also serve neighboring Scarsdale and Harrison. Building a deck too? See our White Plains deck & fence page, or call (914) 775-9272 for a free estimate.
White Plains Fence Questions, Answered
Do corner lots in White Plains have different fence rules?
Yes. Corner properties have to preserve driver sight lines at the intersection, so the city restricts fence height within the sight triangle near the corner. We design corner-lot fences to step down or set back so they're approved without redesign.
Do I need a survey to install a fence in White Plains?
In most cases the Building Department wants a survey showing where the fence will sit relative to your property lines. If you don't have one, we can help you order an updated survey before installation — it protects you from boundary disputes later.
What fence style fits older White Plains neighborhoods best?
In established areas like Gedney Farms and the Highlands, cedar board or picket fencing and black ornamental aluminum tend to suit the architecture better than solid white vinyl. Closer to downtown, vinyl privacy panels are the most popular choice. We'll recommend a style on-site based on your block.
How long does fence installation take in White Plains?
Once the permit is approved, most residential fence installations take one to three days depending on length and terrain. Permit review time varies by season — spring is busiest — so contacting us a few weeks before you want the fence up is ideal.
