Fencing help in West Hartford
West Hartford has many established neighborhoods with homes set close together, from Elmwood to Bishops Corner. On a tight lot, where the fence sits and how tall it stands both matter, so we check them before we build.
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
West Hartford fence rules
Rules last checked October 2026. We confirm them with the town before we build.
Permit required
All new and replacement fences need a town permit, with a surveyed plot plan that shows where the fence goes.
In front of the house: up to 4 ft
Forward of the building line, a fence can be up to 4 feet tall and must be at least 50% open.
Behind the building line: up to 7 ft
Solid privacy fences are allowed here. A fence may go up to the property line, but not on it.

Walk and drive gates hung to swing true and latch every time.

FAQ
West Hartford fencing questions
Do I need a permit for a fence in West Hartford?
Yes. West Hartford requires a permit for all new and replacement fencing, with a surveyed plot plan showing where the fence goes. In front of the building line a fence can be up to 4 feet and at least 50% open; behind it, up to 7 feet. On corner lots, every street side counts as a front yard. We check the details for your address before we build.
Do you give free estimates in West Hartford?
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 West Hartford?
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.
