Baton Rouge sits on soft Mississippi alluvium where live oak canopy and uneven settlement are part of the landscape, and fences take real punishment from weather and ground movement. When your wood fence leans, your gate drags, or a storm brings down a section of pickets and rails, Baton Rouge Fence Installers shows up with crews who know how to build it right the first time and repair it honestly when it matters.

Since 2016, we have installed and repaired fences across Baton Rouge and the surrounding area, from privacy fences in tight residential lots near downtown to chain link and ornamental iron on larger properties. We are fully insured and AFA Member Installers, and we work from your property line and your local building department rules, not a national script.

Fence Work in Baton Rouge (70806)

Baton Rouge homeowners know that wood fences face real challenges at the ground line. Moisture and settling soil work fast on untreated wood, and posts set in soft alluvium need concrete footings and careful spacing to stay plumb. Vinyl and PVC fences sidestep that problem entirely but cost more upfront. Chain link and ornamental iron are practical, durable choices for properties where visibility or airflow matters. Gates hang straight or they don't, and in a town where driveways settle unevenly, a driveway gate operator needs the right bracket and clearance or it will bind and drag.

Our crews understand post spacing, racked versus stepped installation on uneven ground, board-on-board and side-by-side layouts, cap and trim details, and the difference between galvanized and powder-coated hardware. We have installed wood and vinyl privacy fences, chain link, aluminum and ornamental iron, pool fencing, automatic and cantilever driveway gates, and temporary and commercial fencing across Baton Rouge and the area since 2016. Storm damage, leaning fence runs, rotted posts, and gates off their hinges are jobs we handle every week.

How a Fence Job Works in Baton Rouge

You call us at (225) 267-8062 or request a free estimate online. We schedule a time to walk your property, measure the fence line, look at the ground and the existing posts or damage, and talk through what you want to build or fix. We ask about your survey, your HOA rules if you live in a master-planned community, and whether you have had a Louisiana 811 utility locate done yet (required by law before we dig). We give you an honest estimate in writing, with a start date and a timeline.

Our crews show up on time with the materials and tools for the job. We set posts in concrete, space them to code, install stringers and rails, attach pickets or panels, hang gates on heavy hinges, and run tension bands and stretcher bar on chain link the way it should be done. If the lot is tight or access is narrow, we plan the delivery and the work sequence so we do not tear up your driveway or your neighbor's property. When we are done, we haul away scrap and debris, and we walk the fence line with you to make sure it is square, plumb, and built to last.

Wood and privacy fence installation in Baton Rouge starts at $29 per linear foot. Vinyl and PVC runs $40 per linear foot. Chain link is the most affordable option at $17 per linear foot, and aluminum and ornamental iron run $44 per linear foot. A typical residential privacy fence project, 150 to 200 linear feet with new posts set in concrete, runs between $4,350 and $5,800 for wood or $6,000 to $8,000 for vinyl. Fence repair starts at $425 for post replacement or gate adjustment. A full fence replacement with removal of the old run starts at $2,250. Automatic driveway gates start at $2,650. The biggest cost drivers are the linear footage, the material you choose, the condition of the ground and existing posts, whether the fence runs level or needs to be stepped or racked on a slope, and access for crews and delivery. Call us at (225) 267-8062 for a free estimate on your property. We will walk it with you, answer your questions, and give you a price you can trust.

My wood fence has a post that is starting to lean, and the wood at the ground line looks soft. Can you fix it or do I need a new fence?

A single rotted post can almost always be replaced without replacing the whole fence. We dig out the old post, set a new pressure-treated or cedar post in concrete, and reinstall the rails and pickets. The cost is usually $425 to $550 per post. If the lean is recent and the rest of the fence is sound, repair is the right move. If multiple posts are failing or the fence is over 15 years old, we will tell you so and give you a replacement estimate too. Moisture at the ground line is the culprit, not a pest problem. We replace the post and the fence stands straight again.

A storm knocked down a section of my fence. How quickly can you help, and will my homeowner's insurance cover it?

Call us right away at (225) 267-8062. We often fit emergency repairs into our schedule within 24 to 48 hours. We can help you document the damage with photos and measurements for your insurance claim. We cannot promise that a claim will be approved or that the work will be covered, because that is between you and your insurer. What we can do is give you an honest repair estimate and make sure the fence is safe and secure while you sort out the claim.

What is the difference between a wood fence and a vinyl fence, and which one costs more?

Wood and vinyl are the two most popular privacy fence materials in Baton Rouge. Wood (pressure-treated pine or cedar) costs $29 per linear foot and looks classic, but it needs periodic staining and the ground line is always at risk from moisture. Vinyl and PVC cost $40 per foot and do not rot, splinter, or need stain. Vinyl lasts longer in our climate and is lower maintenance, but it costs more upfront and cannot be easily repaired if a panel cracks. Both are beautiful. The choice comes down to your budget, how long you plan to stay, and how much maintenance you want to do.

Does my fence need a permit from the City of Baton Rouge, and are there rules about height or setback?

Fence permits and height limits vary across Baton Rouge and the surrounding parishes. The City of Baton Rouge has specific setback and height rules, and if you live in a master-planned community or have an HOA, those rules may be stricter. Before we start, we always ask you to check with your local building department and your HOA if you have one. We work from your existing survey and install on the line you identify. If a permit is required, we can help you understand what the inspector will look for, but the final word comes from the building department.

My neighbor's tree is hanging over my fence and dropping branches on it. What are my options?

Property line trees and overhanging branches are a common issue in Baton Rouge. You have the right to trim branches that cross your property line back to the line, but you cannot cut the tree down or damage the trunk. If the overhang is severe or the branches are a safety hazard, talk to your neighbor first. If you have an HOA, check your architectural rules. If the fence is being damaged, we can repair it, and you may want to have a conversation with your neighbor about the branch management. We are not surveyors, so if there is any question about where the property line runs, a licensed land surveyor can tell you for sure.

Are you fully insured? What happens if someone is injured on my property during the fence work?

Yes, we are fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. Our crews are trained and insured for the work we do. If an injury occurs, our insurance covers it. You should never be liable for an injury to our crew on your property. That is why we carry the insurance.

I want to install an automatic driveway gate. What do I need to know before we start?

An automatic driveway gate is a big project and a real convenience. We install cantilever and V-track gate operators, and the cost starts at $2,650 depending on the gate size, the operator type, and whether you need a new gate or we are automating an existing one. Before we start, we need to know the width of your driveway, the slope, and how the ground is settled. If the driveway has settled unevenly, the gate may bind or drag, and we may need to add anti-sag bracing or adjust the track. We always recommend a Louisiana 811 utility locate before we dig post holes. Once the gate is installed, test it a few times and make sure it closes fully and opens smoothly. A gate operator is not a toy, so keep children and pets clear.
