Trotwood's post-war housing stock and the damage from the 2019 Memorial Day tornadoes left many properties with fences that need serious repair or full replacement. Dayton Fence Company has been serving Trotwood and surrounding areas since 2013, and we know exactly what storms do to wood, vinyl, chain link, and ornamental fencing in this neighborhood.

Homeowners in Trotwood (45426) call us because we show up with insured crews, give honest assessments about whether a fence can be repaired or needs to come down, and we handle the paperwork to help you document damage for insurance. We work from your property line and install fencing that lasts.

Fence Service in Trotwood (45426)

Trotwood's single-family homes sit on modest lots with tight side yards, shared fence lines, and varying degrees of exposure to wind and weather. We install wood privacy fencing, vinyl and PVC, chain link, aluminum and ornamental iron, and automatic driveway gates. We also repair what's already there, replace damaged posts set in concrete, fix sagging gates, and handle storm damage assessment and removal.

Since 2013, we have worked throughout Trotwood and the greater Dayton area. Our crews are fully insured and AFA Member Installers through the American Fence Association. We know the local building department rules, we call 811 before every post hole, and we coordinate with HOAs when deed restrictions govern fence height, material, or color. Repair is our first recommendation when the fence justifies it. Replacement comes when the cost of repair exceeds the value of the work.

How a Fence Job Works in Trotwood

Step 1: Free on-site assessment. Call us at (937) 930-3672 or contact us online. We come out, look at the fence, listen to what you need, and explain what we see. If there's storm damage, we document it and help you understand what happened and what repair or replacement will cost.

Step 2: We handle the details. Before we dig a single post hole, we call 811 for utility locates. If your property is in an HOA community or subject to deed restrictions, we verify height, material, and color rules with your HOA or the Trotwood building department. We set posts in concrete for stability, space them correctly, and install stringers, rails, and pickets (or chain link mesh and tension bands) to code. If your gate is a cantilever or V-track driveway gate, we make sure it swings freely and closes properly. For automatic gates, we install the operator and test the safety features.

Step 3: We clean up and walk the job with you. Scrap material is hauled away. You see the fence line complete, posts plumb, rails level, and gates working. That's the standard.

Wood privacy fence runs from $25 per linear foot. Vinyl and PVC starts at $36 per foot. Chain link is $15 per foot and a solid choice for durability and cost. Aluminum and ornamental iron start at $40 per foot for a more formal look. A typical backyard privacy fence for a Trotwood home might be 100 to 150 linear feet, so ballpark $2,500 to $5,400 for wood, or $3,600 to $5,400 for vinyl. Repair work starts at $440 for post replacement or gate repair. Storm damage assessment is free. Fence removal and replacement runs from $2,300 depending on the length and material. Automatic driveway gates start at $2,800. Cost depends on fence length, material choice, site access, whether posts are in concrete or tamped, gate type, and whether we're doing repair or full replacement. Call us at (937) 930-3672 for a free estimate on your property.

After a storm, how do we know if our fence can be repaired or has to be replaced?

We come out and assess the damage for free. If the frame is sound and only boards or sections are broken, repair is often the right move. If posts are leaning, cracked, or rotted at the ground line, or if the rails are bent beyond straightening, replacement is more cost-effective. We document what we see and help you file an insurance claim if you have coverage. Call (937) 930-3672 to schedule an assessment.

Does Trotwood require a permit for fence installation?

Permit rules vary across Montgomery County and within Trotwood. We check with the Trotwood building department before we start work. If your property is in an HOA community, we verify deed restrictions on height, material, and color as well. We handle the coordination so you don't have to.

Can we install a fence on the property line ourselves, or do we need a survey?

You identify the property line based on your existing survey or deed. We install the fence on the line you mark. If you don't have a survey and want to verify the exact boundary, a licensed land surveyor can do that work. We work from what you provide.

What's the difference between a gate that drags and one that's off its hinges?

A dragging gate usually means the posts have settled or the hinges have worn. We can often repair it by resetting the hinges, adjusting the gate, or replacing the hinges and hardware. If the posts are leaning badly, we may need to reset or replace them. A gate completely off its hinges needs the hinges reinstalled or replaced, and the posts checked for plumb. Repair starts at $465. Call (937) 930-3672 if your gate isn't working right.

What's involved in installing an automatic driveway gate in Trotwood?

We install the gate frame (cantilever or V-track style depending on your driveway), hang the gate, and install the operator and safety features. The operator opens and closes the gate with a remote or keypad. We test everything before we leave. Automatic gates start at $2,800 and require a clear driveway and solid posts set in concrete. We'll assess your site and give you a firm price.

Are your crews fully insured?

Yes. We carry general liability and workers' compensation insurance. We are AFA Member Installers through the American Fence Association. You can work with confidence that your property and our team are protected.

What should homeowners in Trotwood do if a neighbor's fence is leaning into their property?

Property line fences are usually the responsibility of both neighbors, though deed or HOA rules may assign it to one side. Talk to your neighbor first. If they agree to repair or replace, we can handle the work. If there's a dispute, your deed or HOA documents will clarify who owns and maintains the fence. We work from the property line you identify and install solid posts set in concrete so the fence stays plumb.
