Important!

We encourage you to speak with one of our fence experts before focusing solely on price! There are cheaper, inferior-quality fence materials available that will only last for a while. We don't use them. There are also very inexperienced and unprofessional fence installers who continually cut corners and don't stand behind their work, regardless of their so-called warranty.

Fences must stand up to Lancaster County PA high winds, harsh weather, and physical abuse from animals, kids, gardeners, and neighbors. Shopping for the cheapest fence is generally not the best way to choose the fence you want to protect and beautify your home and the people you care about.

We understand for homeowners in Lancaster County PA - you want a great fence and you don't want to wait forever to get it! Generally, it only takes a few days (maximum) for one of our fence experts to get to most areas of Lancaster County PA - to walk your property and give you a detailed estimate of your entire residential fence project.

Once you approve the estimate, we can often install residential fences in most of Lancaster County PA within 1 to 3 weeks, but please check with our office of your specific project. There are times throughout the year where that timeframe may be less, or it may be longer.

There are “other” things that can delay the start of a fencing project. If you selected a fencing material, style, color, or options that need to be special ordered; that will often delay the installation of your fence. These materials come from various manufacturers and are beyond our control. We will help you to identify, in advance, any of your choices that are known to be likely to cause these additional delays, and we will offer alternatives whenever possible.

DIY Fence Estimate

If you'd like to get a rough idea on your own about how much fencing you will need, follow these easy steps:

  • If you happen to know the dimensions of the area you wish to enclose, simply add the length of each side together. Use a tape measure. Rough estimates are fine, there is no need to be too precise.
  • Be sure to subtract the length of any structures (like a house or a barn or a shed that will serve as part of the barrier). This will give you a rough estimate as to how much fencing you will need.
  • An additional step to get greater accuracy for the amount of residential fencing you will need, is to also subtract the length of any gates you will be using. The gates are often priced much differently than the fencing is. For this reason we usually recommend to property owners who are looking to develop their own fence estimate, to list the gates separately. A standard walk gate is approx 4 feet wide and a standard single driveway gate is more like 10 feet wide.

Caution!

Fencing is often priced and sold by SECTIONS, not by linear feet! Even when the linear footage is included specifically on price estimates … the total number of sections is a factor in this pricing. So, “price per linear foot” is only a rough estimate and rarely represents the actual cost of the finished fence!

This is a very interesting difference that we would love to explore and explain to you if you'd like to speak with one of our fence experts further. Be aware, “price per linear foot” is a ploy that many unprofessional fence installers in the Lancaster County PA area use!

Warranty on Fence Materials

At Kingdom Fence & Supply, we use high-quality fence products, many of which are backed by a comprehensive manufacturer warranty. This warranty ensures that your fence is protected and gives you peace of mind by knowing that manufacturing defects or issues are covered by the manufacturer. With the exception of wood, each fence material and style will come with its own manufacturer warranty. Ask the team at Kingdom Fence & Supply for specifics about your fence's manufacturer warranty.

Workmanship Warranty on Fence Installations

We take pride in our impeccable craftsmanship and dedicated customer service at Kingdom Fence & Supply. We stand confidently behind the quality of our fences and are committed to making any issues right for our valued clients by offering a one-year workmanship warranty on fence and gate installations. In the event of any concerns or problems, our team will work to ensure your complete satisfaction with the workmanship of your fence.

Fence placement is ultimately the responsibility of you, the customer. Moving a fence after it's already been installed can be costly, so it's never a bad idea to get a survey to be safe. In many cases, the property lines are clear and well-marked and installing your fence can be done without an official survey. However, some municipalities do require it, so be sure to check!

Fencing is one of the most accessible industries for start-up businesses and novice laborers to get into. For these people looking to make a few extra dollars installing fences, a shovel, a level, and a string line may be all they need.

As a result, there are many individuals and/or companies who show up in Lancaster County PA, install residential fences for a short time, and then disappear. We see it all the time. Beware! You only want to work with a fully licensed and insured fencing contractor in Lancaster County PA.

Here are some of the main pitfalls of working with non-professionals:

  1. The Residential Fence Warranty is Void
    If the individual or company that installed your residential fence is no longer in business, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless. Additionally, some manufacturers won't warranty their fence material if it was improperly installed or damaged during installation. Both situations are common with non-professionals.

  2. The Fence Almost Certainly Won't Last As Long
    As a professional fence company, our team of installers undergoes rigorous training and constant professional supervision. Our dedication to improving our skills, knowledge of the best fencing materials, and best fence installation techniques maximizes the strength and life of your fence. Companies that install fences as something they do "on the side" usually have no idea how much they don't know about residential fencing or what is best for you and your property.

  3. Your Property May be at Risk
    Installing residential fence in the Lancaster County PA area is actually somewhat risky. Sudden, harsh weather during the fence installation can blow materials and damage your home. We've seen concrete splatter onto cars or drip down beautiful driveways or walkways as buckets of wet concrete are transported. Deep tire tracks sinking into your grass is another common issue. The secondary damage to homes and yards is common when untrained labor installs the fence.

    Additionally, you are at risk if anyone gets hurt on your property while they are working. If you hire an unlicensed or uninsured contractor, you may be liable and your homeowner's insurance may deny payment!

At first glance, hiring a novice to install your fence may save you a few dollars, but in the long run, it is almost certainly a price you cannot afford to pay!

Agricultural Fence FAQs

Traditionally, farm fencing is wood post and rail fencing, split rail fences, or high tensile fences. Welded wire can be added to post and rail fences for specific small animal yards. There are variations of each type based on what you need to enclose. For example, if you have horses, you can border your land with split rail, but if you have smaller animals like chickens or pigs, you'll need something closer to the ground and with less open space. Our team of fence experts is happy to discuss your specific needs and find the perfect solution for your Lancaster County PA property.

Farm fencing works very well when it comes to following the changing levels of ground across many fields. Wood fencing particularly is always one of the most adjustable types of fencing and can be modified to your specifications.

Yes! We often install post and rail farm fencing at various communities and for individual residential properties all across the Pennsylvania region. When you speak with our associates, ask about our variety of wood rail fences and explore the best options with our experienced staff.

The majority of the post and rail farm fencing we install in the Pennsylvania area is the 3 rail or 4 rail options. 2 rail post and rail farm fencing is less common, but it is completely up to you which one you prefer!

Important!

There are also very inexperienced and unprofessional fence installers who continually cut corners and don't stand behind their work, regardless of their so-called warranty.

Chain link fences must stand up to the physical demands of the Lancaster County PA weather, and physical abuse from falling branches, landscapers, neighbors, animals, and more.

Shopping for the cheapest fence is generally not the best way to choose the fence you want to protect and beautify your home and the people you care about.

Chain link fences require very little maintenance. Our professional quality chain link fencing has been factory treated to prevent rust and corrosion, and can be further enhanced with protective colored vinyl coating.

Chain link fencing requires almost no attention or maintenance. We recommend clearing debris away from the bottom of the fence and maybe a quick squirt of the hose every once in a while.

PVC-coated chain link fencing, also known as vinyl coated chain link fencing, is the attractive colored coating that can be added to chain link fencing. PVC coatings are applied at the factory for maximum quality and protection. More than a simple color choice, vinyl coating your chain link fence increases the rust and corrosion resistance of the fence and extends the life of your fence.

Colored vinyl coatings added to chain link fences are very popular in the Lancaster County PA area. Because of their smooth coating, they are especially suitable for areas where children typically spend time, such as athletic fields, pool areas, and playgrounds.

Vinyl Fence FAQs

Yes! We are a leading vinyl fencing contractor across the entire Lancaster County PA area.

Our crews are experienced and specially trained in the latest techniques for installing vinyl fences, ensuring your fence is installed properly, will look great, function properly, and will hold up to the harsh weather typical of Lancaster County PA.

Vinyl fencing requires nearly zero maintenance. Over time vinyl fencing is actually a less expensive fencing material than many of the other alternatives in terms of time and cost savings of paints that wood fences require.

If a maintenance-free, clean and modern looking fence is what you want, look no further than vinyl fencing.

Vinyl lasts a long time, so you don't have to generate or consume as many new resources to replace it, and it can be recycled after you're done with it. There's no need to paint it or treat it with other chemicals. Vinyl fencing is one of the most eco-friendly alternatives available.

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), the plastic most often used to make a vinyl fence, ranks third among the world's most manufactured synthetic plastics. Beautiful fences in a number of designs may be made from it, but it also has many other applications in the building industry, including in windows, pipelines, and other items.

Vinyl fencing is one of the most eco-friendly alternatives available.

Vinyl lasts a long time, so you don't have to generate or consume as many new resources to replace it, and it can be recycled after you're done with it. Recycled vinyl fencing is often used in the next generation of new vinyl fences, making it a great option for those who are environmentally aware!

Another huge benefit to your immediate environment and to the health of your family and pets is that vinyl fencing does not require harsh cleaners, or paint, or sealers, all of which may contain harsh or even toxic chemicals.

PVC, the material used to make vinyl fences, is nonporous, therefore it does not readily accept paint. When it comes to fences, many Lancaster County PA residents select vinyl specifically because it never needs painting or staining or sealing. Unlike wood fences, vinyl fences retain their original color and shine for the duration of their life span.

So, while vinyl fences can't be painted, there are a number of different colors and styles available to customize your fence to match your home and your personal style preferences.

Wood fencing is unique in its ability to be utilized for such a wide array of applications. Listed below are some of the most popular applications of wood fencing:

  • Decorative Wood Fencing
    There are many decorative styles of wood fencing, perfect for showcase areas of a property or to set-off a section of your yard. Wood rail fences and wood picket fences are two of the most common decorative styles of wood fencing.
  • Wood Pool Fencing
    Wood fencing is a perfect choice for the perimeter of a property to provide privacy for pool areas. We generally do not recommend wood fencing directly adjacent to the pool itself due to the high moisture content in the air. This moisture can cause the fence to deteriorate more rapidly than normal.
  • Wood Perimeter Fencing
    Wood fencing is the staple of privacy fences. Popular across Lancaster County PA, a 6 foot dogear wood privacy fence is quite possibly the single-most requested fence we install.

Every local municipality in Lancaster County PA has a separate set of requirements when it comes to building permits, and that includes wood fencing.

We have installed many wood fences in just about every possible area across Lancaster County PA so we are happy to answer these sorts of questions and/or to guide you through the process for your specific situation. This is one of the benefits of working with us!

Ornamental Iron Fence FAQs

With their durability and long-lasting design, ornamental iron fences are a great choice for many residential and commercial properties across the Lancaster County area and beyond. The variety of styles, colors, and decorative options make ornamental iron a versatile option that can accommodate many fencing requirements.

One of the most appealing aspects of ornamental iron fences is their resistance to rust and corrosion. The metal's engineering and the protective coating it comes with help assure a long-lasting product with minimal maintenance and no peeling or chipping. You can also have peace of mind thanks to the manufacturer's warranty, which protects your fence.

Another great benefit to using ornamental iron is that it is recyclable and can be put to use for something else. You will likely never need to replace your ornamental iron fence and they can last for decades. The material is easily recyclable and reusable and can be easily melted down and repurposed.

Ornamental iron fencing needs very little maintenance over its lifetime at your Lancaster County property.
