Xenia is Greene County's seat, a town rebuilt with character after 1974, surrounded by working farmland and home to families who value sturdy, well-built fencing that lasts. Dayton Fence Company has been installing and repairing fences across Xenia and the surrounding Dayton area since 2013, and we know what works here: solid post-setting, proper drainage at the fence line, and honest repair before replacement.

Whether you need a new privacy fence to define your property line, a chain link gate that swings smooth, or storm damage assessed after severe weather, our fully insured crews handle the work the same way every time. We're members of the American Fence Association, and we work from your existing survey, respecting setbacks, height rules, and HOA standards that vary across Xenia and Greene County.

Fence Work in Xenia, Ohio (45385)

Xenia's housing stock ranges from older single-family homes on established lots to newer developments with deed restrictions and HOA rules. Farm and ranch properties sit just beyond the town limits, where sturdy perimeter fencing and gate access are essential. Our crews install and repair wood and vinyl privacy fences, chain link, ornamental metal, and automatic driveway gates. We've handled fence runs torn down by severe weather, posts that have rotted at the ground line after years of moisture exposure, and gates that have come off their hinges or drag on the ground. We also work with pool barriers installed to meet local pool barrier codes, with final determination resting with the authority having jurisdiction.

Since 2013, we've learned the specific challenges of working in Xenia: tight lot access in older neighborhoods, coordinating with HOA architectural standards in master-planned communities, respecting utility easements, and working efficiently on properties where drainage and soil conditions demand solid concrete-set posts rather than tamped earth alone. Our team knows when a fence repair holds and when replacement is the better spend.

How a Fence Job Works in Xenia

Step 1: You call us at (937) 930-3672 or request a free on-site assessment. We come out, walk the fence line, discuss what you need (privacy, security, pet containment, aesthetics), and review any HOA rules or local setback and height requirements that apply to your property. We'll ask whether you have an existing survey; if you do, we work from the line you identify.

Step 2: We provide an honest estimate and explain the work. If it's a repair, we tell you whether the fence can be made sound and for how long. If it's new installation, we discuss material choices (cedar versus pressure-treated pine for wood, galvanized versus powder-coated for metal), post spacing, and finishing details like board-on-board or side-by-side boards, cap and trim, and gate hardware. We locate utilities by Ohio 811 before we dig any post holes. On storm damage, we help document the damage for your insurance claim.

Step 3: Our crews do the work, set posts in concrete where needed, install rails and stringers, hang gates with self-closing hardware or automatic operators, and leave your property clean. You walk the fence line with us when we're done.

Pricing for fence work in Xenia depends on material, length, and site conditions. A wood privacy fence typically runs from $25 per linear foot; vinyl from $36; chain link from $15; and ornamental metal from $40. Fence repair starts at $440, and gate installation from $465. Automatic driveway gates begin at $2,800. Storm damage assessment is free. Fence removal and replacement runs from $2,300 depending on the run length and debris volume. The biggest cost factors are material choice, post spacing (typically 6 feet on center), whether posts are set in concrete or tamped, access to the fence line, and whether the job includes gate work or ornamental details. Call us at (937) 930-3672 for a free estimate. We'll walk your property, answer questions about local permit requirements, and give you a realistic price.

Does Xenia require a permit for fence installation?

Permit requirements vary across Xenia and Greene County, and they depend on fence height, setback, and material. Some jurisdictions require permits; others don't. Before we start, we help you verify the rules with the Xenia building department or Greene County. If you're in a master-planned community or HOA, architectural approval may also be required. We work with those rules, not against them.

A storm knocked down part of my fence. What do I do?

Call us at (937) 930-3672 right away. We'll come out and assess the damage at no charge. We can help you document what happened for your insurance claim. If the fence can be repaired, we'll quote repair. If replacement is the better option, we'll explain why and give you a price. We're fully insured and handle storm damage professionally, without pressure.

What's the difference between a wood privacy fence and vinyl?

Wood (cedar or pressure-treated pine) is warm-looking, takes stain or paint, and costs less upfront, but requires regular maintenance and will eventually rot at the ground line. Vinyl (PVC) is maintenance-free, won't rot, and holds color, but costs more and can't be repaired the way wood can. Both work well in Xenia. We'll help you choose based on your budget, aesthetic, and how much upkeep you're willing to do.

My fence is leaning. Can it be repaired, or do I need to replace it?

A fence that leans is often fixable if the posts are still sound and the rails haven't split. We can reset posts, add anti-sag bracing, or replace individual rotted posts without replacing the whole run. If the posts are rotted at the ground line or the damage is widespread, replacement is the better spend. We'll assess it honestly and tell you which makes sense.

I live in an HOA community in Xenia. Do I need approval before installing a fence?

Yes. Most HOA communities have architectural standards that govern fence height, material, color, and setback. Before we start work, we help you verify those rules with your HOA. Approval typically takes a week or two. We coordinate with the HOA on your behalf so there's no surprise after the work is done.

Are you fully insured for fence work?

Yes. We carry full general liability and workers' compensation insurance. We're also members of the American Fence Association. When you hire us, you're hiring a crew with skin in the game and the credentials to back it up.

I need an automatic driveway gate. What's involved?

An automatic gate requires a sturdy frame, a gate operator (linear or cantilever, depending on your driveway width and slope), power to the gate, and a control system (keypad, remote, or intercom). We install the gate, set the operator, and test it before we leave. Cost depends on gate size, material (vinyl, wood, ornamental metal), and operator type. Call (937) 930-3672 for a free site quote.
