Fencing help in Berlin
We build and replace fences across Berlin, including the Kensington and East Berlin sections of town. Most Berlin homes are single-family houses with their own yards, and many of their fences are worn out, so replacement work is common here.
Parts of Berlin sit along the Metacomet trap rock ridge, so we come ready to dig through rocky ground and still reach full depth, below the 42-inch frost line.

The Zoning Department asks for one before a fence goes up, with a survey or plot plan showing the fence. We help with the paperwork.
Front yard: up to 3 ft
Berlin allows fences up to 3 feet along the front yard.
Sides and rear: up to 6 ft
Fences taller than 6 feet are not permitted.
What we build
Every fence, built the same careful way
Nine kinds of fencing for homes and businesses across Central Connecticut — every post set by hand, below the frost line.
Wood fences
Cedar and pressure-treated pine, built by hand for warmth and privacy.
Vinyl fences
Clean privacy with almost no upkeep. Never needs paint or stain.
Chain link fences
The strong, affordable way to fence a yard, keep pets in or secure a lot.
Aluminum & ornamental
The look of wrought iron without the rust. Great for curb appeal.
Privacy fences
Block the view, cut the noise and make the backyard yours again.
Pool fences
Code-correct pool barriers with self-closing, self-latching gates.
Gates
Walk and drive gates hung to swing true and latch every time.
Fence repair
Leaning posts, broken boards, a gate that won’t latch — fixed right.
Commercial fencing
Secure, durable fencing for businesses, lots and properties.
FAQ
Berlin fencing questions
Do I need a permit for a fence in Berlin?
Yes. Berlin’s Zoning Department asks for a Certificate of Zoning Compliance before you put up a fence. You submit a copy of your survey or plot plan that shows the fence and its height, length, and width. We help you get this done.
How deep should fence posts go in Berlin?
Fence posts should go below Connecticut’s frost line, which the state building code sets at 42 inches. If posts sit higher than that, winter freezing can heave them up and make your fence lean.
Can you set fence posts in rocky ground in Berlin?
Yes. The west side of Berlin runs along the Metacomet Ridge, a trap rock ridgeline, so ground in parts of town can be rocky. We bring the right equipment to dig through rock and still reach full frost line depth.
