Your Trusted Alpharetta Fence Company

Same Day Fence Company provides residential and commercial fence installation throughout Alpharetta, GA, and nearby North Fulton communities. As an experienced Alpharetta fence company, we install wood privacy, aluminum, vinyl, chain-link, ornamental steel, composite and pool fencing, plus custom gates for homes, businesses and managed properties.

Every project begins with a review of the fence line, grade, driveway and gate locations, drainage, access, material preferences and removal needs. The layout should provide the intended privacy, pool safety, pet containment, security or curb appeal while fitting the property and its surroundings.

Alpharetta projects may involve HOA design standards, front-yard fence restrictions, visibility rules near driveways and intersections, landscape buffers or multi-use trails. Properties with an Alpharetta mailing address may not all fall under the same municipal authority, so the parcel jurisdiction and applicable requirements should be confirmed before construction.

Expect careful layout, durable post setting, clean job sites and a finished fence built for long-term performance in North Georgia weather.

FAQs

Fence FAQs for Alpharetta, GA

Do I need a fence permit in Alpharetta, GA?
The City of Alpharetta states that a fence no more than 6 feet tall does not require a permit. Its Unified Development Code also exempts fences built in accordance with city standards. Confirm requirements for fences over 6 feet or projects involving pools, retaining walls, signs, electrical equipment or powered gates.
How tall can my fence be?
Alpharetta allows fences up to 6 feet on residential property and 8 feet on nonresidential property. The code permits these limits to increase by as much as 50 percent on sloped lots when an even fence line is desired, but property-specific requirements should be confirmed before construction.
Can I install chain link in the front yard?
Generally, no. Alpharetta prohibits chain-link and privacy fences in front yards. Ornamental aluminum, steel or an approved open-style fence may be a better option, subject to city and HOA requirements.
Where should the fence go — on the property line or inside it?
A fence may generally be installed on the surveyed property line, but many property owners place it slightly inside their property so the posts, concrete footings and future maintenance remain entirely on their side. Use a current boundary survey and keep the fence outside recorded easements, public rights-of-way, required landscape buffers and visibility areas. HOA covenants may require an additional setback.
Do I need HOA approval?
Many Alpharetta communities require architectural approval and may regulate fence height, material, color, style and placement even when the city does not require a permit. Obtain written approval before ordering materials or beginning installation.
How long does a fence installation take?
Most residential installs take 1–3 days after materials and approvals are ready. If permitting is required, that may add time.
Do you remove old fences?
Yes. Existing-fence removal and haul-off can be included in the written estimate. We review property access, disposal volume and preparation requirements before installing the new fence.
Do you offer staining or sealing?
Yes. Same Day Fence Company offers staining and sealing options for wood fences. The proper timing depends on the wood type, treatment and moisture level.
