Fence Company in Las Vegas, NV: Installation, Repair & Gates
Las Vegas Fence Contractors serves homeowners across Las Vegas, Summerlin South, Spring Valley, Winchester, and North Las Vegas with everything from new fence installation to repair and gate work. Whether you need a wood privacy fence built to specification, a vinyl installation that will hold up over time, chain link fencing for security or containment, or ornamental aluminum and iron work for a front yard or pool area, we handle the full scope of residential fencing. We also repair leaning fences, replace failed posts, install and repair gates including automatic driveway gates, and respond to storm damage. The same crews do the work on every job, and we know this market's ground conditions and the housing stock we're working with.
When homeowners search for a fence company near me in Las Vegas, they often call because a fence has started to lean, a gate is dragging on the ground, or a storm has brought down a section. We start with a walk of the entire fence line, not just the problem spot, because what you see at one point usually tells a story about the whole run. We quote honestly: if a fence is worth repairing, we repair it; if it's at end of life, we say so and quote replacement.

Why Fences Lean in Las Vegas: Clay Soil and Rotted Posts
More fences lean here because of what happens at the post. The soil works through wet and dry cycles that push and pull a post back and forth in its footing, racking it out of plumb over months or years. At the same time, moisture collects at the ground line where the wood meets the earth, and that damp environment causes decay from the inside out. A post can look solid from above but be rotted through at the critical point where it carries the load of the panels and pickets. We don't perform termite or pest inspections, apply chemical treatments, or carry out pest control, which is a separate regulated trade in Nevada. What we do is replace wood that has decayed at the ground line, and we identify whether the concrete footing itself has heaved or whether the post has failed inside a sound footing. That distinction matters, because it tells us whether the fence can be repaired or whether replacement is the better path.
When we assess a leaning fence, we test every post, not just the one that moved. We walk the whole line and check the condition of the pickets, rails, and stringers. A fence with sound panels and a handful of failed posts is worth repairing, and resetting or replacing those posts saves you the cost and disruption of tearing out the whole run. A fence where the posts have rotted along the entire length is at end of life, and repairing it section by section costs more over the next five years than replacing it once. We quote both options when both make sense, so you can see the math and make the call. Call (702) 830-7664 to have us walk your fence line and tell you what we find.
The difference between a repair and a replacement comes down to the posts. If the pickets and rails are sound and the posts are the problem, repair is the right answer. If the damage is spread across the whole run, replacement saves money in the long run and gives you a fence that will hold for years without constant attention. We'll quote you both ways so you can decide based on the actual condition of what's in the ground.
Storm Damage Fence Repair in Las Vegas
Severe wind and storms can push entire fence runs over on the same line, snap posts at grade, or remove panels altogether. When that happens, a fence rebuilt should come back with better posts than the ones that failed. We provide a free damage assessment, photograph the fence section by section, and prepare a written estimate you can give to your insurance carrier if you choose to file a claim. We help document what happened and what it will cost to restore, and we can answer questions about the work itself.
What we cannot do is guarantee that a claim will be approved or that any repair will be covered. Coverage decisions rest with your insurance carrier, and the terms of your policy determine what they will pay. If you have questions about your coverage, contact your agent or adjuster directly. We focus on giving you an honest assessment of the damage and a fair price to rebuild. If you need help documenting a storm-damaged fence for your records or your carrier, call (702) 830-7664 or request a free estimate.

Cedar, Pine, Vinyl or Chain Link: Choosing for This Climate
Choosing a fence material means weighing real trade-offs. Cedar looks beautiful and weathers to a natural gray, but under this sun and humidity a cedar fence needs cleaning and re-staining every two to three years to hold its color and resist decay. That maintenance cycle is what decides whether your cedar fence lasts closer to ten years or closer to twenty. Pressure-treated pine is a smarter budget choice if you're willing to skip the staining, and it will hold up well if the posts are set properly and the ground line stays dry. Vinyl offers low maintenance and won't rot, but it is not invisible to sun exposure and it cannot be racked to follow a slope the way wood can. Chain link is the toughest per dollar, and the gauge and mesh size determine how long it will serve. Galvanized chain link resists rust better than black powder-coated, though black is more attractive in front-yard applications. Aluminum and ornamental iron fencing work beautifully for pools and front yards where you want an open look, and they can be racked to step with a slope.
The real cost of a fence is quoted by the linear foot, and we measure on site because slope, access, existing fence to tear out, and the number of gates all change the number. A 100-foot run on flat ground with no tear-out costs less per foot than a 50-foot run with a steep slope and an old fence to remove. We'll walk your property, take measurements, and give you a clear pricing breakdown. Whether you're leaning toward wood and privacy fence installation or vinyl fencing, we'll explain what each choice means for your maintenance and your budget over time.
Permits, HOA Rules, Property Lines & Pool Barriers
Fence permits and height rules vary by city and county across the Las Vegas area. In most jurisdictions, residential fence installation requires a permit, though requirements differ. Many cities in the area set height limits for front-yard fences and different limits for side and rear yards. If your home is in a master-planned community with an HOA, deed restrictions and architectural standards often govern fence height, material, and color, and you will usually need architectural approval before work starts. It's worth checking with your HOA and the local building department before you start, so you know what applies to your property. Before we set any posts, we request Nevada 811 utility locates to mark underground lines. Locates cover participating utility operators and do not mark private lines such as irrigation or landscape lighting, so let us know if you have those so we can avoid them when we dig.
On property lines, we are fence contractors, not land surveyors. A licensed land surveyor is the only person who can determine a boundary or interpret a property plat. We install on the fence line you identify, working from your existing survey or plat. Before you start, confirm the line with a surveyor if there is any question, and get any neighbor or HOA consent in writing. If your property includes a pool, we install pool fencing with self-closing self-latching hardware to meet the pool barrier codes that apply at your address. Final determination of compliance rests with the local building official, and no barrier replaces supervision. Requirements vary by jurisdiction, and the rules are set to keep children safe. Requirements vary across the Las Vegas area, so always verify with the Las Vegas building department and your HOA before starting your project.
