Frequently Asked Questions

Fencing FAQ for Ponchatoula, LA and the Northshore — answered by Tony himself.
What types of fencing do you offer?

We offer a wide variety of fencing options including cedar, pine, vinyl, chain link, custom ornamental iron, pool aluminum fencing, and farm fencing. Every type can be tailored to fit your specific property and preferences.

Do you need a permit to put up a fence in Louisiana?

In most Louisiana parishes, residential fences under 6 feet do not require a permit — but rules vary by municipality. Tangipahoa Parish, St. Tammany Parish, and individual cities like Covington, Mandeville, and Hammond each have their own height limits and setback requirements. We are familiar with local codes across the Northshore and can help you understand what is needed before we start your project.

Do you provide free estimates for fencing projects?

Yes — all estimates are free. We come out to your property, assess the job, and give you an honest quote with no pressure. We primarily serve Ponchatoula, Hammond, Covington, Mandeville, Folsom, Franklinton, and surrounding Northshore communities.

Can you install automatic gates?

Yes. We specialize in automatic driveway gate installation for both residential and commercial properties. We customize each gate to fit your entry opening and security needs, and make sure the controller is properly adjusted before we leave.

Are your handrails compliant with ADA regulations?

Yes. We install exterior hand rails that meet ADA compliance standards, ensuring accessibility and safety for everyone including individuals with disabilities.

What is the typical timeline for completing a fencing project?

Most projects are completed within one to three days once work begins. Larger jobs or custom ironwork may take longer. We give you a clear timeline at the estimate stage so you always know what to expect, weather permitting.

Do you offer warranties on your fencing work?

Yes. We stand behind our workmanship on every project. Warranty terms vary depending on the material — call us at (985) 703-0595 for specifics on your fence type.

Can I customize the design of my fence or gate?

Absolutely. Custom design is one of our specialties — particularly with ornamental iron and gates. Tony works directly with you to make sure the finished product matches your vision and complements your property.

How do I maintain my fence?

Maintenance depends on the fence type. Wood fences — cedar and pine — benefit from staining or sealing every few years, especially in Louisiana’s humid climate. Vinyl fences need only occasional cleaning with soap and water. Ornamental iron should be inspected periodically for rust and touched up with rust-inhibiting paint as needed. We are happy to walk you through maintenance tips specific to your fence when we complete the job.

Do you offer repair services for existing fences?

Yes. We provide fence repair services for all types of fencing. Whether it is damaged panels, a sagging gate, broken posts, or hardware issues — our team can restore your fence to its original condition.
