Quality Materials

Your Trusted Canton Fence Company

Choosing the right fence involves more than selecting a material. Property lines, slopes, gates, drainage, utility locations, HOA requirements, access, and the way the fence connects to the home or other structures can all affect the finished installation. Same Day Fence Company installs fences throughout Canton and Cherokee County for homeowners, businesses, property managers, builders, and commercial customers. Our fence installations are planned around the property so posts, fence lines, gates, transitions, and finished heights work together properly from the beginning.

Expect clean layout, solid post setting, and a finished fence built for long-term durability in Georgia weather.

Permits & HOA

Fence permits and HOA approvals in Canton

Fence requirements are typically tied to zoning compliance — things like height, placement, visibility on corner lots, and staying out of rights-of-way and easements.

    ✓
    Permits (when required)
    Some projects may require review depending on scope (height, materials, electrified/security fencing, retaining wall tie-ins, etc.).
    ✓
    Even without a permit
    Zoning rules still apply, and fences can get flagged for front-yard restrictions, corner-lot visibility, or placement inside an easement/right-of-way.
    ✓
    HOA approvals
    If you’re in an HOA, architectural approval may be required before installing — even if the city/county doesn’t require a permit.

FAQs

Fence FAQs for Canton, GA

Do I need a fence permit in Canton, GA?
Some projects may require review depending on scope. Even when a permit isn’t required, zoning rules still apply. Share your address and fence details and we’ll help you prepare a simple plan/spec to submit (if needed).
How tall can my fence be?
Limits vary by yard (front vs. side/rear), zoning district, and corner-lot rules. We help confirm the applicable rule for your address before installation.
Can I install chain link in the front yard?
Some jurisdictions restrict chain link in street-facing yards. If front-yard chain link is important, we can discuss alternatives (black vinyl-coated chain link, ornamental aluminum, etc.) and confirm what’s allowed.
Where should the fence go — on the property line or inside it?
Many homeowners install just inside the property line to reduce boundary disputes. Use a survey/plat and avoid easements. If you don’t have a survey, consider hiring a surveyor before installation.
Do I need HOA approval?
If you’re in an HOA, architectural approval is often required before building. We can provide a spec sheet and a basic drawing to support your HOA submission.
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. Removal and haul-off can be included in your quote, along with cleanup and preparation for the new fence line
Do you offer staining or sealing?
Yes. We offer staining/sealing options for wood fences. Timing depends on the wood type and moisture level. You can ask us what’s best for your project.
