Fort Lauderdale's Fence Company — We Know This City
Fort Lauderdale Fence Contractor · PVC, Aluminum, Wood & Chain Link · Broward County Licensed
"When we sit down with a Fort Lauderdale homeowner, the conversation usually starts the same way — with the HOA or the permit, not the fence style. Fort Lauderdale has some of the most active HOA communities in Broward — Rio Vista, Victoria Park, Tarpon River all have architectural guidelines that go beyond what the county requires. I've worked in Rio Vista, Victoria Park, Tarpon River 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
Fort Lauderdale is one of our highest-volume markets in Broward County — and one of the most diverse. Waterfront Intracoastal properties, historic neighborhoods, and newer suburban areas all within the same zip code. We know the difference and we install accordingly.
"When we walk a Fort Lauderdale property, the first thing I look at is how close we are to the water. Bayview Drive, Rio Vista, the Intracoastal — these properties have completely different material requirements than a property in Progresso or Riverland. Fort Lauderdale is a city of micro-markets and we design every fence accordingly."
— XL Fencing Team · Fort Lauderdale, FL
🌊 Rio Vista, Tarpon River & Waterfront Estates
Bayview Drive, Flamingo Lane, SE 11th Street — these are Intracoastal and waterfront properties where salt air is a real concern. We recommend powder-coated aluminum on every coastal Fort Lauderdale job. It's the only material that consistently wins here.
🏘️ Victoria Park & Established East-Side Neighborhoods
Victoria Park, Colee Hammock, Middle River Terrace — Fort Lauderdale's historic east-side neighborhoods have character and established expectations. We've done enough work in these areas to know what fits and what doesn't.
🏗️ Northwest & Southwest Fort Lauderdale
The NW and SW corridors — Riverland, Progresso, Flagler Heights — represent a large portion of our Fort Lauderdale work. Larger lots, a mix of older and newer homes, and strong demand for PVC privacy fencing.

Why Fort Lauderdale 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 Fort Lauderdale.
-
Waterfront Means Aluminum — Always
Rio Vista, Seven Isles, Coral Ridge waterfront — Intracoastal and New River salt air accelerates corrosion on iron and degrades wood fast. Fort Lauderdale's seawall prohibition also means freestanding posts with independent footings. We've replaced enough iron and wood on these streets to make the recommendation without hesitation.
-
3-Foot Street Setback Is Enforced
Fort Lauderdale requires all fences to be set back a minimum of 3 feet from street-side property lines — stricter than most Broward cities. We measure every property before designing. Not doing this is how permits get rejected.
-
Historic Districts Have Different Standards
Victoria Park, Middle River Terrace, and Sailboat Bend have character expectations beyond basic code. We've worked throughout these neighborhoods and know what reads as appropriate in each.
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 Fort Lauderdale
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 Fort Lauderdale
Storm damage, rotting posts, a gate that won't close — we repair all fence types throughout Fort Lauderdale. 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.
