Aluminum Fence Installation Specialists FAQs for Wilmington Homeowners
Will aluminum fence rust?
No. Aluminum is a non-ferrous metal, meaning it cannot rust. The powder coating provides additional protection against oxidation and pitting.
Is aluminum fencing strong enough for large dogs?
Yes. Residential grade aluminum is sufficient for most breeds. For very large or aggressive dogs, we recommend 'Puppy Picket' styles or upgrading to a commercial-grade profile for added strength.
Can you install aluminum fence on a steep hill?
Yes. Aluminum panels are 'rackable,' meaning they can adjust to significant slopes without leaving large gaps at the bottom, unlike rigid PVC panels.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Wilmington, DE?
Most properties in the City of Wilmington and New Castle County require a permit for any fence over 6 feet in height or for installations on corner lots. We handle the permit application and ensure your design meets all local zoning and setback requirements.
What is the frost line depth for Delaware fence posts?
For the Wilmington area, the frost line is typically around 30 inches. We set our fence posts at a minimum depth of 36 inches—well below the frost line—to prevent the 'heaving' that often occurs in cheaper installations after a First State winter.
What are the common height limits for fences in New Castle County?
Residential properties in New Castle County usually allow up to 6-foot fences in side and rear yards. Front yard fences are typically limited to 4 feet and may require specific transparency (like aluminum). We verify the exact code for your address.
How long does a typical installation take in Northern Delaware?
A standard residential installation in Wilmington typically takes 2 to 3 business days. Our veteran crews work with extreme efficiency to respect your time and property.
Are you licensed and insured for the State of Delaware?
Yes, we are a fully licensed and active contractor in the State of Delaware. We carry comprehensive liability and workers' compensation insurance to protect our clients on every jobsite.
