Wood Fence Contractor · Tampa Bay
Custom wood privacy, board-on-board, horizontal and picket fences, built board by board on your property to follow the grade of your yard. Classic warmth at the best price per foot. Built by licensed, insured fence pros since 1987.
Classic Curb Appeal
Nothing matches the natural warmth of a wood fence. It complements every home style, from Florida ranch to modern farmhouse, and it delivers full backyard privacy at the lowest upfront cost of any fence material.
But how a wood fence is built matters as much as the wood itself. Pre-made panels from big-box stores are flat, so on a sloped Florida lot they leave ugly stair-steps and gaps under the fence where pets escape. We build every wood fence on site, board by board, so it follows the natural grade of your land with a clean, continuous line. As a wood fence contractor in Tampa since 1987, we set posts in concrete, use pressure-treated lumber rated for Florida’s humidity and termites, and hang gates that open and latch smoothly for years.
Wood Fence Styles
Choose the look, height and privacy level that fits your home. We can match almost any design you have in mind.
Modern horizontal boards for a clean, upscale look that pairs well with newer homes and pool areas.
Classic spaced pickets for front yards and gardens. Charming, budget-friendly and easy to paint or stain.
Scalloped or arched tops, lattice toppers and decorative post caps to make your fence one of a kind.
Built to Last in Florida
Florida’s heat, rain and termites are tough on wood. These details are the difference between a fence that lasts and one that leans in a few years.
Treated to resist rot, decay and termites, with ground-contact rated posts where wood meets soil.
Every post is set in concrete at the proper depth for Tampa Bay's sandy soil, so your fence stays straight.
Custom-built on site to follow slopes smoothly, with no stair-steps and no gaps for pets to slip under.
Coated or galvanized hardware that holds up to humidity and won't streak your boards with rust.
Heavy-duty hinges, diagonal bracing and steel-reinforced frames on wide gates keep them square.
You work directly with the owner, who stands behind every fence we build with a workmanship warranty.

Pricing
Wood is typically the most affordable fence material upfront. Most wood fences are priced per linear foot plus gates, and these factors make the biggest difference:
Comparing quotes? Ask about post depth, lumber treatment rating, fastener type and how gates are reinforced. That’s where cheap wood fences cut corners.

FAQ
Wood fences are priced mainly by linear foot, height and style, plus gates. Standard 6 ft privacy is usually the most affordable option, while board-on-board and horizontal designs cost more. We provide free, itemized on-site estimates.
A pressure-treated wood fence typically lasts around 10 to 15 years in Florida’s climate. Regular staining or sealing, good drainage and keeping sprinklers off the boards help it reach the longer end of that range.
We build with pressure-treated lumber that resists rot, decay and termites, with ground-contact rated posts set in concrete. Ask us about upgrade options during your estimate.
Yes, once it has dried. New pressure-treated wood needs time to dry before it will absorb stain. When water soaks in instead of beading, it’s ready. Re-coating every 2 to 3 years protects it from UV and moisture.
Board-on-board uses overlapping boards on alternating sides of the rails. As wood naturally shrinks, no see-through gaps open up, and the fence looks finished from both sides. That makes it a favorite between neighbors.
Yes. That’s one of the biggest advantages of building on site. We build to follow your yard’s grade, so there are no stair-steps or large gaps under the fence.
Wood costs less up front and offers a natural look, but it needs staining every few years and won’t last as long. Vinyl costs more initially but needs almost no maintenance. See our vinyl fence page for a side-by-side comparison.
In many Tampa Bay neighborhoods, backyard fences can be up to 6 feet tall and front-yard fences about 4 feet. Rules vary by city, county and HOA, so we confirm the limits for your address before building.
Most residential fences in Hillsborough County and surrounding cities require a permit, and many HOAs require approval. We pull the permit for you as part of your project.
Yes. We replace broken boards and rotted posts, straighten leaning sections and fix sagging gates. Visit our fence repair page or request a free estimate.
