A Note From Our Team

"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 Know Delray Beach

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.

Why It Matters

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 give you the documents each HOA requires — contractor license, proof of insurance, and a marked survey — so you can submit for approval while we handle the county permit.

  • 📐

    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.

Common Questions

Delray Beach Fence FAQs

Do I need a permit for a fence in Delray Beach?
All fences in Delray Beach require a permit — no exceptions, no exemptions for small fences or property boundary fences. Pool barrier fences are additionally mandated by Florida law and must comply with FL Statute 515 before the pool can legally be used. We pull every permit under our Broward or Palm Beach County contractor license. You never visit the permit office, you never track down an inspector — we handle the complete permit process from application to final inspection. Having a permitted fence is also important for home resale: unpermitted fences are flagged by buyer's inspectors and can complicate or kill a sale.
How much does a fence cost in Delray Beach, FL?
Installed fence pricing in Delray Beach typically ranges from $25 to $45 per linear foot for chain link, $33 to $55 for pressure-treated wood, $35 to $105 for PVC/vinyl, and $39 to $60 for aluminum. Actual cost depends on total linear footage, number of gates and their width, permit fees, site conditions like rocky soil or drainage requirements, and any HOA-specific requirements. We provide free, written, itemized estimates with no pressure to sign. The estimate includes every cost — permit fees, post-hole inspections if required in your city, dirt removal if applicable — so there are no surprises after you've agreed to move forward.
Can you help with HOA approval in Delray Beach?
Yes — and we make it easy. We provide you with a complete HOA documentation package including our contractor license, certificate of insurance, material specifications, and a scaled site plan showing your proposed fence placement — everything your HOA needs to approve the project. You submit it to your association; we prepare everything so it's ready to go. The most important advice: never pull the county permit before your HOA approves the design. Get HOA sign-off first, or run both in parallel.
How long does fence installation take?
The variable in every Delray Beach project is the permit — Broward or Palm Beach County typically processes fence permits in 2 to 8 weeks from a complete submission. We prepare complete packages on the first attempt, which eliminates the revision cycle that doubles timelines for incomplete submissions. Once the permit is issued and materials are delivered, most residential installs complete in one business day. We provide a clear written timeline estimate before you sign anything, including realistic permit expectations for your specific project type.
What neighborhoods in Delray Beach do you serve?
We serve all of Delray Beach including Spanish Wells, Lakewoode, Le Lac, Delray Dunes, Addison Reserve, The Bridges, downtown Delray, oceanfront properties along Ocean Blvd, and all surrounding Palm Beach County communities.
Do you offer financing?
Yes — we offer financing through Enhancify with a soft credit pull only, meaning checking your rate won't affect your credit score. Options include 0% APR promotional financing, loan amounts up to $200,000, and terms from 1 to 12 years depending on your qualification. Financing makes it possible to install the fence you actually want — not a compromise based on what's available in cash right now. Ask about your financing options when you schedule your free Delray Beach estimate and we'll walk you through what you qualify for before you commit to anything.
Do Delray Beach HOA communities have fence color requirements?
Yes — many Delray Beach HOA communities have approved color palettes for fence materials. The Hamlet, Polo Trace, and Delray Dunes each have specific guidance. Some communities restrict aluminum to black only; others allow bronze or white. We request and review your HOA's current architectural standards during the estimate process — before designing — so you're not choosing a color that can't be approved.
What is the fence height limit in Delray Beach?
Delray Beach allows up to 6 feet in side and rear yards. Front yard fences are limited to 4 feet. Corner lots have additional sight-triangle restrictions at intersections. HOA communities may impose lower height limits than the city's maximum. We verify both city code and your HOA's current standards before designing. The most common mistake we see from contractors unfamiliar with Delray is submitting a 6-foot fence design for a location where the HOA has capped at 4 or 5 feet.
What warranty comes with a fence from XL Fencing?
Every XL Fencing installation includes a 1-year workmanship warranty covering installation quality and craftsmanship on all materials. Aluminum and powder-coated aluminum fencing additionally carry a lifetime manufacturer's warranty on the material itself — not just the installation. If something isn't right after we leave, we make it right. No runaround, no waiting — this is how we've built a company that runs almost entirely on referrals and repeat business from the same neighborhoods we've served for over a decade.
Do you offer discounts for military, seniors, or first responders?
Yes. We offer a 5% discount for active military, veterans, senior citizens 65 and older, and first responders including law enforcement, fire, and EMS. South Florida's military and first responder community has been part of our customer base since we opened, and this is a small way of recognizing that. Mention your status when you request your estimate and we apply the discount to your quote. No documentation required — we take your word for it.
What should I look for when hiring a fence contractor in South Florida?
Three things. First, are they licensed in the county where your property is located — not just somewhere in Florida, but specifically Broward or Palm Beach County? Second, do they pull their own permits and can they show you the permit before any work begins? Third, are their reviews actually from your area? XL Fencing holds active licenses in Broward County (U-22428) and Palm Beach County (20-F-22100-R). We pull every permit under our license. Our 260 Google reviews are from homeowners across our actual service area — not other states, not other markets.
