H&W Fence FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

At H & W Fence Co., the need for a permit for your fence installation depends on your location and the specific requirements of your city or county. In most areas, a permit is required for fences that exceed certain height limits, are placed near property lines, or involve structural modifications. For Duval County, FL, residential fences under 6 feet tall typically do not require a permit, but there are exceptions. Corner lots, waterfront properties, and historic districts may have additional restrictions. Commercial projects or fences near road rights-of-way often need approval. Our team knows local codes inside and out. We’ll help verify requirements and handle paperwork if needed.

If you’re considering installing a fence, you may need homeowner association (HOA) approval, depending on your community’s rules. Many HOAs require approval for fence construction to ensure it aligns with neighborhood aesthetics, safety, and property values. In Duval County, communities with HOAs often have strict guidelines on fence height, materials (e.g., wood, vinyl, aluminum), colors, and even installation methods. Some may prohibit certain styles altogether, like chain-link fences in front yards. At H & W Fence Co., we have helped countless homeowners navigate HOA approvals seamlessly. From submitting plans to adjusting designs, our experts ensure your fence meets all community standards and local regulations. Save time and avoid headaches, let us handle the paperwork!

At H & W Fence Co, we stand by the quality of our work and offer a comprehensive warranty on all residential fencing installations. Our warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, giving customers peace of mind. Most fences include a 1-year workmanship warranty, while materials are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, vinyl often has a lifetime limited warranty, and wood typically 1–5 years. Exceptions, such as damage from storms or neglect, are detailed on our Warranty Page or by calling us. We’ll review terms specific to your fence type, including chain-link or aluminum, so you can invest confidently. Using top-tier suppliers helps minimize issues, and if any installation problems occur, we’ll fix them at no extra cost.
