Making Smart Wood Fence Decisions in Durham
Expert guidance for informed fencing choices
Material Selection
Cedar offers natural rot resistance and beautiful grain patterns, pine provides affordability with proper treatment, and redwood delivers premium durability. Durham's humid climate favors pressure-treated pine or naturally resistant cedar for longevity, with each material offering distinct aesthetics and 15-30 year lifespans depending on maintenance.
Height & Privacy
Wood fence panels typically range from 4 to 8 feet tall, with 6-foot privacy fences being most popular in Durham neighborhoods. Check local HOA regulations and Durham city codes before installation. Board-on-board and solid panel designs maximize privacy, while picket and split-rail styles offer decorative boundaries with neighbor-friendly openness.
Maintenance Requirements
Wood fences require annual inspection and staining or sealing every 2-3 years to maintain appearance and prevent rot in North Carolina's climate. Pressure washing removes dirt and mildew, while prompt repair of damaged boards prevents larger issues. Cedar requires less maintenance than pine, but all wood benefits from protective treatments for 20-30 year lifespan.
Cost Factors
Wood fence installation in Durham averages $15-30 per linear foot depending on material choice, height, and terrain complexity. Cedar costs more upfront ($20-30/ft) but requires less maintenance than pine ($15-25/ft). Sloped yards, rocky soil, and custom designs increase labor costs, while longer runs reduce per-foot pricing through material efficiency.
Permits & HOA
Durham requires building permits for fences over 6 feet tall, with setback requirements from property lines and easements. Most HOAs mandate pre-approval for fence installations, specifying allowed materials, heights, colors, and styles. We handle all permitting and HOA submissions, ensuring compliance with local regulations and community standards for smooth project approval.

We provide detailed, transparent quotes with no hidden fees.
