Wood Fencing in Buffalo, NY
Cedar and pressure-treated wood fencing remain the classic choice for privacy, picket, and rail styles around here, and for good reason. We build panels square, set every post on concrete below frost depth, and frame gates with extra bracing so they’re not sagging by the second summer. Look, cost, and maintenance schedule all get laid out before you decide between cedar and PT.
What’s included
Every job starts with a design or assessment visit and ends with a clean, cleared-up yard. In between: permits pulled where needed, inspections passed, and work we photograph for your records.

Wood Fencing FAQs
Wood, vinyl, or aluminum, which holds up best here?
Vinyl needs the least upkeep and shrugs off freeze-thaw completely. Wood looks classic but wants a stain cycle every few years. Aluminum is the choice for pool code and low-maintenance style. We’ll quote more than one so you can compare.
Do fence posts really need to go below frost depth?
For anything permanent, yes. A post set shallow will heave with the freeze-thaw cycle and lean within a couple of winters. We set posts below the 48-inch frost line the same way we do for deck footings.
Do I need a permit for a fence?
Most WNY towns require one once a fence passes a certain height, and some have separate rules for corner lots and pool enclosures. We check your town’s code and file the paperwork before we set a single post.
Is the quote really free?
Yes. A visit takes about an hour, and the written quote arrives within 48 hours. It’s valid for 60 days and there’s no pressure follow-up.
