Fencing help in Cheshire
Cheshire sits just south of Southington, at the southern end of the area we serve. We build new fences here and replace old ones, from backyard privacy fences and pool fences to gates and repairs.
Owner Alexander Medina has more than 25 years of hands-on experience, and he is on the job himself. Every post is set in concrete below the 42-inch frost line, so the fence stays straight through freeze and thaw.

Local rules
Cheshire fence rules
Rules last checked October 2026. We confirm them with the town before we build.
No zoning permit
Cheshire’s fence handout says no zoning permit is needed. A wetlands permit might be required in a regulated area.
Height: up to 8 ft
Measured from natural grade. Above 6 feet a building permit may be required, so we check with the Building Department.
Placement
No fences in the town right-of-way or where they block traffic visibility. The town recommends 1 to 2 feet inside your line.
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
Cheshire fencing questions
Do I need a permit for a fence in Cheshire?
Cheshire’s fence handout says no zoning permit is necessary. A wetlands permit might be required if the fence is in a regulated area, and a building permit may be required for fences over 6 feet. The maximum height is 8 feet from natural grade. We check the details for your address before we build.
Do you give free estimates in Cheshire?
Yes. Estimates are free and there is no pressure. Call or send a message and we will come look at your yard, talk through your options, and give you an honest price in writing.
How deep do you set fence posts in Cheshire?
We set posts below the Connecticut frost line, about 42 inches down, in concrete. That is the step that keeps a fence from leaning after the freeze-and-thaw of our winters.
Do you repair fences you did not build?
Yes. We repair fences of every kind no matter who installed them, from leaning posts and broken boards to gates that will not latch.
