VB Fences crosses the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel to build and repair fences in Cape Charles and across Northampton County — from the historic grid to Bay Creek, Cheriton, and Eastville.
Cape Charles properties split into two worlds: the historic town grid, where a fence has to fit the neighborhood's character and clear the town's review process, and the newer communities like Bay Creek, where HOA guidelines and pool code drive the choice. We build for both — and we handle the paperwork either way.
Salt air is the other constant. A fence a block off the Bay lives a harder life than one in Kempsville, so we spec materials for the exposure: vinyl and powder-coated aluminum that don't rust or need repainting, color-coated chain link over bare galvanized, and corrosion-resistant fasteners on every wood build.
The Town of Cape Charles and Bay Creek, plus the Northampton County communities of Cheriton, Eastville, Machipongo, and Exmore — ZIP 23310 and surrounding areas. Eastern Shore jobs are scheduled as dedicated trips across the CBBT.
Wood privacy fence (our specialty), picket fences that suit the historic district, 6-ft vinyl, 54-inch aluminum pool fence installed to code, and chain link — for new installation, repair, and full replacement.
Schedule online for the fastest response. We come out, measure, walk through your fence options, and give you a written estimate — no pressure.

Most of the original town sits inside the Cape Charles Historic District Overlay, and the town's zoning ordinance lists fences by name among the exterior work that needs review.
Fence construction in Cape Charles takes a zoning clearance. Inside the Historic District Overlay, a new or rebuilt fence also needs a Certificate of Appropriateness — approval that the design fits the district — before a permit is issued. Temporary fencing and a few minor items are exempt.
The Historic District Review Board meets monthly, straightforward projects can be handled by the Zoning Administrator under the design guidelines, and the ordinance caps a board decision at 90 days. An issued certificate is good for six months, so the build window is real once approval lands.
At your request we act as your agent: compile the application, file it with Planning & Zoning, handle the inspection call-ins, and be on site for inspections. You pick the fence; we carry the paperwork. County builds outside town limits get the same treatment with Northampton County's zoning clearance.
Yes. VB Fences crosses the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel to install and repair fences in the Town of Cape Charles, Bay Creek, and the surrounding Northampton County communities of Cheriton, Eastville, Machipongo, and Exmore — ZIP 23310 and beyond.
Fence construction in town requires a zoning clearance, and inside the Historic District Overlay a new or rebuilt fence also needs a Certificate of Appropriateness reviewed under the town's design guidelines before a permit is issued. The review board meets monthly, straightforward projects can be delegated to the Zoning Administrator, and an issued certificate is valid for six months. Outside town limits, Northampton County requires its own zoning clearance. VB Fences compiles and files the paperwork as your agent and attends inspections.
Vinyl and powder-coated aluminum handle salt air with the least maintenance, and color-coated chain link resists corrosion far better than bare galvanized. For wood fences near the water we build with pressure-treated pine and corrosion-resistant fasteners rated for coastal use.
Estimates are free. We schedule Eastern Shore visits in dedicated trips across the CBBT, measure on site, and email a written, turn-key quote — the price holds unless the scope of work changes.
