Dayton's Miami Valley neighborhoods, from the historic brick and frame homes built between 1900 and 1930 on tight city lots to the post-war blocks spreading outward, depend on solid fencing to define property lines, contain outdoor spaces, and weather the seasonal demands of Ohio living.

Dayton Fence Company has been installing and repairing fences across Dayton and the surrounding area since 2013. We work with homeowners, property managers, and commercial clients who need honest guidance on what to build, what to repair, and how to do it right the first time. When you call (937) 930-3672, you talk to the crew that will actually do your fence work, not a call center.

Fencing for Dayton Homes and Properties

Dayton's housing stock shapes what fences need to do. The older neighborhoods near downtown feature narrow city lots where a fence must work hard: it screens neighbors close by, defines the property edge clearly, and stands up to the weather that moves through the valley. The post-war residential blocks further out often have larger yards, but they come with their own challenges: longer fence runs, varied terrain, and the same seasonal freeze-thaw and storm exposure that every property in the region faces.

We install wood and vinyl privacy fences for homeowners who want screening and security. We build chain link fences where durability and visibility matter. We set ornamental metal and aluminum fencing for properties where appearance and longevity are priorities. We install and repair gates, including automatic driveway gates for commercial and residential properties. We handle pool fencing to meet local barrier codes, farm and ranch fencing for acreage outside the city, and fence removal and replacement when a fence has reached the end of its life. We also repair storm damage, replace rotted or heaving posts, and restore weathered wood fencing.

Since 2013, we have served Dayton (45405) and the surrounding areas with fully insured crews and AFA Member Installer credentials. The same people who give you the estimate are the ones who show up to do the work.

How a Fence Job Works

We start with a free on-site visit. You tell us what you need: a privacy screen, a property boundary, a pool enclosure, a gate repair, or a complete fence replacement. We walk the property, take measurements, note any obstacles (utilities, slopes, existing structures), and ask about your budget and timeline. We explain what's possible, what codes or HOA rules apply, and what it will cost. No pressure, no surprise charges later.

Before we dig a single post hole, we coordinate an Ohio 811 utility locate. That call is required by law, and we make sure it happens. Then our crews set posts, string stringers and rails, and install pickets or panels. For wood fences, we work with pressure-treated pine, cedar, and other materials. For vinyl, we use quality PVC. For chain link, we tension the mesh correctly and set all hardware. For gates, we hang them plumb and level, with hinges and hardware that function smoothly. On ornamental metal and aluminum, we follow the manufacturer's specs and local code. If a fence sits on a slope, we rack it (step the panels) or step the installation to keep it square and safe. If posts need concrete footings, we set them deep and solid. If posts are tamped, we tamp them firm.

When the work is done, we clean up. We haul away scrap, sweep the area, and walk through with you to confirm everything is as promised. We leave your property in the condition we found it, minus the new fence.

Pricing depends on the type of fence, the linear footage, site conditions, and the scope of any repairs. A wood privacy fence in Dayton typically runs from $25 per linear foot. Vinyl privacy fencing starts around $36 per foot. Chain link is our most economical option, beginning at $15 per foot. Ornamental metal and aluminum fencing start at $40 per foot. Pool fencing runs from $32 per foot. Fence repair work begins at $440, and post replacement or repair also starts at $440. Gate installation and repair begin at $465. Automatic driveway gates start at $2,800. Fence removal and replacement is priced per project, typically from $2,300. Staining and restoration work begins at $920. Commercial and temporary fencing, as well as farm and ranch fencing (from $11 per foot), are quoted on-site.

The best way to know what your project will cost is to call us at (937) 930-3672 for a free estimate. We will visit your property, measure the fence line, discuss materials and options, and give you a clear price in writing.

✅ AFA Member Installer (American Fence Association), fully insured for work in Dayton and nearby areas.

Do I need a permit to install a fence in Dayton?
Permit requirements vary by jurisdiction within the Dayton area. Some municipalities require a permit for all fence work; others have thresholds based on fence height or type. The Dayton building department and your local city or township office can tell you what applies to your property. If you are in a master-planned community or subdivision with an HOA, you will also need to check architectural guidelines for height, material, and color restrictions. We work from the rules you provide and help you navigate the process.
What should I do if a storm brings down part of my fence?
Call us right away at (937) 930-3672. We respond to storm damage in the Dayton area and can assess what happened, document the damage, and repair or replace the affected section. We can help you gather information for an insurance claim if you have coverage. Repairs are often faster and less costly than full replacement, and we will tell you honestly which option makes sense for your fence.
A post in my wood fence is leaning. Can it be repaired, or does the whole fence need to come out?
A leaning post is usually a sign that the post has rotted at the ground line or the concrete footing has failed. We can replace that post without replacing the entire fence. We remove the damaged post, set a new one in concrete, and reinstall the rails and pickets. The cost typically starts at $440 per post. If multiple posts are failing or the fence is otherwise compromised, we will tell you so you can make an informed choice about repair versus replacement.
I have a pool and need fencing to meet Ohio code. What do you install?
We install pool fencing designed to meet local pool barrier codes. Our crews are experienced with pool enclosure work, and we know the requirements. The final determination of compliance rests with the authority having jurisdiction (your local building or health department), so we recommend you verify the specific code for your property before we start. A secure pool barrier is important, but it does not replace active supervision of children.
My HOA says I cannot install a wood fence. What are my options?
HOA architectural standards often restrict fence material, color, and height. Vinyl privacy fencing is a common alternative that many HOAs accept because it is uniform and low-maintenance. Ornamental metal or aluminum fencing is another option if your HOA permits it. We recommend you check your HOA rules and get written approval before we begin work. Once you know what is allowed, we can show you samples and pricing for each material.
Are you fully insured for fence work?
Yes. We are fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. Our AFA Member Installer credential reflects our commitment to professional standards. When you hire us, you can be confident that your property and our crew are protected.
I think my fence is on the property line, but I am not certain. How do you handle that?
We install fences on the line you identify. If you have an existing survey, that is the best reference. If you do not have a survey and want to know exactly where your property line is, you will need to hire a licensed land surveyor. We can work from a survey you provide, or we can install based on your direction and the existing fence line. We do not provide boundary determinations or survey interpretation, but we are happy to work with a surveyor's marks or your own measurements.
