Hand-built cedar and pressure-treated privacy fences designed for North Carolina’s humidity, storms, and clay soil. Local crew, written warranty, free estimates across the Triangle.
There’s a reason wood privacy fences are still the most popular choice in Raleigh: when they’re built right, nothing else looks better. Real wood gives you instant curb appeal, full backyard privacy, and a natural look that fits everything from craftsman bungalows in Five Points to new builds in Wake Forest.
The catch is that “built right” matters more here than it does almost anywhere else. Raleigh’s humidity, summer thunderstorms, and red-clay soil are tough on wood fencing which is exactly why we don’t cut corners on post depth, hardware, or lumber grade. Every wood privacy fence we build is engineered to handle Triangle weather for 15–25 years, not five.
The premium choice. Naturally resistant to rot, insects, and warping, with a rich, warm color that ages into a soft silver-gray. Cedar holds stains beautifully and lasts 20–25+ years with basic maintenance.
The practical choice. Kiln-dried and chemically treated to resist rot, decay, and insects in NC's humid climate. Costs 20–30% less than cedar. Stains and paints well — expect 15–20 years with basic upkeep.
Not sure which is right for you? We’ll walk you through both options on-site, with real samples in hand.
The most popular wood privacy fence style in Raleigh. Diagonal-cut picket tops give a clean traditional look that suits most Triangle HOAs. Available in cedar or pressure-treated pine at any height.
Alternating pickets on both sides of the rail for true zero-gap privacy. Finished and attractive from either side — ideal for shared property lines and boundary fences in Raleigh neighborhoods.
Pickets staggered so air flows through while blocking sightlines from any angle. Reduces wind load on the fence — a smart choice for open lots and exposed yards in Wake County.
A solid privacy base capped with an open lattice top for a decorative finish. Popular for cottage-style homes, garden borders, and properties where the HOA requires a decorative upper detail.
Every spec dialed in for the Triangle — not a one-size-fits-all install kit.
4′, 6′, or 8′ — subject to HOA rules and Wake County zoning code.
4×4 or 6×6 pressure-treated pine — set in concrete to local frost depth for lasting stability.
Tight-fit (no gap) or 1/4″ reveal — your preference confirmed at estimate time.
Single walk (36″) or double drive (10’–12′) gates — drop-rod hardware and hinges included.
Optional UV-resistant stain applied after build — ask about pricing during your estimate.

We install wood privacy fences throughout the Triangle from our home base in Raleigh out to every surrounding city.
Cedar fences typically last 20–25 years in the Triangle with periodic staining or sealing every 3–5 years. Pressure-treated pine lasts 15–20 years. North Carolina’s humidity and clay soil are tough on posts, which is why we set every post in concrete and treat all cut ends with wood preservative before installation.
Cedar is the premium pick: naturally rot-resistant, dimensionally stable in heat and humidity, and it accepts stain beautifully. Pressure-treated pine costs roughly 20–30% less upfront and handles moisture well — it can shrink slightly as it dries, but it’s an excellent fence for most Raleigh yards. We’ll walk you through both options at the estimate so you can choose with confidence.
Most privacy fences 6 feet and under do not require a permit in unincorporated Wake County. Fences over 6 feet typically do. City limits — Raleigh, Cary, Apex — have their own rules. We research your specific address and handle all permit applications on every job at no extra charge.
Standard residential privacy fences run 6 feet tall — the most common height in the Triangle. 8-foot fences are allowed in some rear-yard and commercial applications. Front-yard fences are typically capped at 4 feet. HOA covenants and city ordinances vary by community. We verify your specific restrictions before finalizing your quote.
Most residential wood privacy fence jobs — a typical 150–200 linear foot lot — are completed in 2–4 days. Larger properties, steep grades, or jobs that include demo of an old fence may take an additional day. We include a realistic timeline in every written quote before any work begins.
Yes — if you’re in an HOA community you’ll need architectural approval before we start. We’re familiar with most Triangle-area HOA requirements and can help you prepare your submittal, including style samples and material specs. Most HOA approvals take 2–4 weeks, which we factor into your project schedule.
Yes. Old fence removal and off-site disposal is included in your quote — no surprise demo fees. We haul everything away. If you’d like to salvage any good posts or materials, just mention it during your estimate and we’ll set them aside for you.
