Fence installation and repair in Chesapeake

Chesapeake's larger residential lots are a good fit for wood privacy fence, our specialty, and for 6-foot vinyl privacy fence. We also install 54-inch aluminum pool fence to code and chain link.

Many Chesapeake neighborhoods sit under an HOA — if yours does, let us know when you schedule so the fence style and height match what your association allows.

Chesapeake fence rules: heights, the 8-foot question, corner lots

Read from the city's own zoning ordinance (§§ 14-201, 14-202, 14-206, amended May 21, 2024). We confirm your district and lot type at the estimate, pull whatever permit the city requires, and submit your HOA package.

Height limits, § 14-201

Front yard: 4 feet. Along or behind the front yard's interior edge: 6 feet maximum for fences and walls. Hedges are not capped. Posts may rise up to 18 inches above the fence line.

Eight feet is not a residential option

Chesapeake allows 8-foot fences only in business, office, assembly, and multi-family districts, with zoning administrator approval (§ 14-202(B)). On a single-family lot an 8-foot backyard fence means a Board of Zoning Appeals variance. If someone quotes you 8 feet in Greenbrier or Great Bridge, ask who is pulling the variance.

Corner and through lots

The secondary front yard can carry a 6-foot fence only with a 10-foot setback from the street (5 feet on through lots), finished side out, and a planted buffer unless the fence sits 15 feet or more off the right-of-way or faces an alley. The 2024 amendment removed the old neighbor-objection veto.

What a fence costs in Chesapeake

Installed rates from our current price book, the same numbers on every page of this site.

Chesapeake lots run longer than Norfolk's, so the typical job here is 150 to 200 feet. From our price book: 6-foot dog-eared wood privacy $35.13 per linear foot, vinyl privacy $41.00 and up, residential chain link $15.99 to $19.99, commercial 6-foot chain link $21.99 to $27.99. A walk gate adds $545 to $595 installed, a double drive gate $1,123 to $1,287.

A 200-foot backyard in 6-foot wood privacy with one walk gate lands around $7,600. The same run in vinyl, about $6,800. 54-inch aluminum pool fence is quoted per project.

Site conditions move the number. The low, wet ground in Deep Creek and Great Bridge means posts set deep in concrete and sometimes a drainage conversation before the first hole. We measure on site and email a written turn-key quote that holds unless the scope of work changes.
