Delray Beach's Fence Company — We Love This Town
Delray Beach's Fence Contractor · PVC, Aluminum, Wood & Chain Link · Palm Beach County Licensed
"When we sit down with a Delray Beach homeowner, the conversation usually starts the same way — with the HOA or the permit, not the fence style. Delray Beach has some of the most active HOA communities in Palm Beach — Spanish Wells, Lakewoode, Le Lac all have architectural guidelines that go beyond what the county requires. I've worked in Spanish Wells, Lakewoode, Le Lac enough to know where the complications come from before we ever walk the property. That experience — knowing the local code, knowing the inspectors, knowing the HOA patterns — is what separates a smooth installation from a frustrating one."
We've Worked in Your Neighborhood
Delray Beach has one of the most diverse property landscapes in our service area — historic downtown homes, oceanfront estates, gated golf communities, and new west Delray developments all within a few miles of each other. One fence company can't fake that range. We've actually worked across all of it.
"When we design a fence in Delray Beach, the first thing I ask is whether the property is east or west of Federal. Properties east of Federal — Delray Beach Club, Gulf Stream — face Atlantic salt air and have different material requirements than neighborhoods like The Hamlet or Polo Trace to the west. Same city, completely different conversations."
— XL Fencing Team · Delray Beach, FL
🎨 Atlantic Avenue Corridor & Downtown Delray
Downtown Delray properties come with unique historic preservation considerations. Fence height, material, and placement rules can vary by block. We know the downtown overlay district requirements and verify before we design anything.
🌊 Ocean Blvd & Intracoastal Properties
North and South Ocean Blvd clients get the same recommendation every time: powder-coated aluminum. Salt air from the ocean and Intracoastal destroys wood and iron fast. We've done enough coastal Delray jobs to know the difference.
🏡 Spanish Wells, Lakewoode & West Delray Communities
Spanish Wells, Lakewoode, Le Lac, Addison Reserve — established west Delray communities with their own HOA design standards. We prepare the full documentation package and have managed first-submission approvals in all of them.

You never touch the permit office. We pull, track, and close every permit under Palm Beach County License #20-F-22100-R. Want the details? See how fence permits work in Palm Beach County — surveys, easements, timelines, and the new 2026 law.

Why Delray Beach Fencing Is Different
Every city in South Florida has its own rules, its own HOA landscape, and its own climate realities. Here's what matters most in Delray Beach.
-
Coastal Properties East of Federal Require Aluminum
Atlantic Ocean salt air reaches well inland on Delray's barrier island properties. Powder-coated aluminum is the only material we recommend east of Federal without reservation — backed by a lifetime manufacturer's warranty and real corrosion resistance.
-
HOA Density Is High Throughout Delray
The Hamlet, Polo Trace, Delray Dunes — Delray Beach's western communities have well-established HOA processes. We prepare complete packages for all of them and initiate HOA approval simultaneously with county permit prep.
-
Older Neighborhoods Have Infrastructure Considerations
Historic Delray neighborhoods near Atlantic Avenue often have older underground utilities that require locates before post installation. We coordinate utility locates as part of every Delray job.
We measure, answer your questions, and give you a clear written quote. No pressure. No obligation.

What to Ask Any South Florida Fence Contractor
Not all fence companies operating in South Florida are licensed in Florida, familiar with local permit requirements, or sourcing from manufacturers with real warranty programs. Before signing anything, ask these questions.
Reviews from Nashville, Boise, or Raleigh don't tell you anything about how a company performs in Broward or Palm Beach County. Ask specifically about local experience.
Broward and Palm Beach County have specific inspection requirements — including post-hole inspections — that out-of-area contractors routinely miss. Ask who pulls the permit and handles inspections.
A contractor's verbal promise is not the same as a written manufacturer's warranty. Ask for the warranty document before signing. PVC and aluminum should come with written lifetime warranties.
In HOA communities, architectural committee approval is required before the county permit. Contractors who don't know this will start your job in the wrong order and cause delays or violations.

Pool Barrier Fencing in Delray Beach
Florida Statute 515 requires a pool barrier fence to be in place before your pool can be used. Minimum 48" height, self-latching gate, no gaps a 4" sphere can pass through.
Fence Repair in Delray Beach
Storm damage, rotting posts, a gate that won't close — we repair all fence types throughout Delray Beach. No job too small. Most repairs scheduled within 1 week.
Storm & Hurricane Damage
South Florida storm season is hard on fences. Downed panels, cracked posts, leaning sections — we assess and repair quickly, prioritizing safety-critical repairs first.
Rotting Posts & Boards
South Florida's humidity accelerates wood decay. We replace individual posts and boards without tearing down the whole fence — saving you money and disruption.
Gate Repairs & Adjustments
Sagging gates, broken latches, hinges that won't hold — we repair and realign all gate types including pool barrier, driveway, and pedestrian gates.
Partial Replacements
When only a section failed, you shouldn't pay to replace everything. We match existing materials and replace only what's damaged — PVC, aluminum, wood, or chain link.
Rust & Corrosion
South Florida salt air accelerates rust. We treat and replace affected sections, or recommend powder-coated aluminum that won't corrode in coastal conditions.
