Fence Installation FAQ

Yes, most fence installations in Virginia Beach require a permit. Requirements vary depending on the fence height, location on the property (front yard vs. backyard), and proximity to easements or the street. Kempsville Fence handles the entire permit process for you — it's included in our service at no extra charge.

Most residential projects are completed in 1–2 days. Jim and his team are known for fast, same-day project completion on many jobs. We give you a realistic timeline before we start, and we stick to it. The exact timeline depends on the linear footage, material, and number of gates.
