Wood privacy, vinyl, and chain link fence installation in Kettering (Montgomery County) — by a locally owned, licensed & insured crew based right in the Dayton area.
Kettering’s neighborhoods have had sixty-plus years to settle in — mature trees, established grades, and property lines that were drawn long before anyone now living on them moved in. Fences here earn their keep, and building them straight means working around real root systems and honest grade changes, not pretending they aren’t there.
Most Kettering calls are replacements: a cedar privacy fence that’s done its time, or original chain link ready for an upgrade. We install wood privacy fencing, vinyl, and chain link, build gates that swing true, and repair fences where a repair is honestly all that’s needed.
Every Kettering estimate is free and in person — we mark your lines, check the trees and grade, and quote the real number on the spot.
Replacing a tired cedar fence with new board-on-board or solid privacy panels is classic Kettering work — see wood privacy fence installation for styles.
Vinyl privacy fencing gives established yards a crisp upgrade without the staining schedule — details at vinyl fence installation.
Chain link keeps pets in and costs down, and black-coated fabric disappears nicely into mature landscaping — see chain-link fence installation.
Tree roots and age take fences out of plumb here. Our fence repair and replacement service resets posts and swaps panels where the rest of the fence is sound.
We rebuild sagging gates and hang new ones — walk gates through double-drives — covered on our gate installation page.
Aluminum fencing and decks and railing round out what we build. For a quick number before the walk-through, use the instant online estimate.
Planning a fence in Kettering starts with a little homework. Height limits, placement rules, corner-lot visibility, easements, pools, and HOA guidelines can all affect the project.
Kettering’s published guidance indicates fences need a zoning permit only (not a building permit), and the city posts fence permit information for interior lots — with corner lots subject to additional sight-visibility rules. The Planning & Development Department handles applications, including online through Access Kettering.
Every lot is a little different — corner visibility triangles, drainage easements, pool barrier rules, and subdivision covenants can all apply — so confirm what is current with the city first.

When we quote a fence in Kettering, these are the variables doing the work:
Working around mature trees can shift post locations and add hand-digging — a detail we price accurately because we see the yard before we quote it. That is why the walk-through matters: measured on site, the quote is real — and it is free.
Kettering’s published guidance says fences require a zoning permit (not a building permit), and the city posts fence permit information — note corner lots carry extra visibility rules. Verify current requirements with the city’s Planning & Development Department before building.
Yes. Most replacement projects start with us removing and hauling away the existing fence; it appears as its own line on the quote.
Yes, gates of every size: walk gates, driveway doubles, and commercial. See gate installation for hardware and sizing options.
Once utilities are marked and materials are ready, many residential installs need only a few days on site. Longer runs, slopes, and tear-outs add time. You get a realistic schedule with your estimate.
That depends on your neighborhood, not the city. If your Kettering subdivision has covenants, get the fence approved by the HOA before installation; we regularly build to HOA specs and can supply drawings and material details for your application.
The honest answer: it is priced by the foot and shaped by height, material, gate count, tear-out, and terrain. We walk your Kettering property, measure the real line, and quote a firm number on the spot — free.
Legally, that falls to the property owner. Start with your deed, plat, and the Montgomery County property and parcel search; we will help locate pins during the estimate. If neighbors disagree about the line, a professional survey is worth far more than the fence dispute it prevents.
If friends or family need a fence nearby, we also cover fence installation in Dayton, fence company in Oakwood, fencing in Centerville, fence installation in Moraine, and fence company in Beavercreek. Every community gets the same free on-site estimate and owner-built fence.
