Reviews of Philadelphia Wooden Fence Companies
Abington, PA

Richboro, PA
Snyders Fencing is the best fence company my wife and I have ever encountered. Phil spearheaded the project and worked relentlessly 8 hours straight for several days. Throughout, Phil remained personable and charming all the while as he performed the arduous tasks. We have never found a contractor for ANY product or service with such an upbeat, positive attitude and unbelievable attention to detail. They delivered what they said they would -- and more -- at an unbeatable price and with a genuine smile. We have strongly recommended them to others and as a result they have already been asked to submit another fencing bid and have completed

R&R; Fence Inc did a great job putting up the fence on my property. They were on time, and removed the old fence; they cleaned up the yard around the fence area. I���m glad I chose R&R; Fence Inc to do the work for me.

Ideas & Inspiration from Philadelphia Fence Contractors
Philadelphia Wood Fences
No matter where you live in Philadelphia, wood fences fit well in neighborhoods from Germantown to Grays Ferry because of their timeless look and excellent functionality. Whether you're looking for a fence to accent your property, provide security and privacy, or just to keep the dog (or child) from roaming away from the house, there's sure to be a model of wooden fence that's just right for your needs.
Benefits
Since wood is such an old and widely used material, there are many more options available for wood fences than for any other material. Whatever the look of your Philadelphia home, if you've got a yard, there's a wooden fence that will compliment it. Though other materials have certain specific benefits, the time tested performance and unlimited variety of styles keep wood fencing a popular choice among today's homeowners.
Especially in a city like Philadelphia, wood fencing is probably the most cost-effective choice for people who want to maintain the historic feel of the city. Sure, there are other materials that have been used for hundreds of years, but the cost of installing wrought iron or masonry around your property line is generally a bit off putting.
A wood fence is a cost-effective, beautiful, and relatively easy way to enclose your property. Though they'll take some maintenance, most would agree that the upkeep is well worth the look and performance of real wood.
Drawbacks
While it's not Seattle, Philadelphia still has its fair share of moisture, and some of that moisture is in the form of ice and snow. This means that a wood fence in Philadelphia might require more attention than one in another area of the country. Moisture causes swelling, warping, and bowing in untreated wood; it also increases the threat of insects and mildew or rot. Your Philadelphia wood fence will need to be treated with care in order to reach its full life expectancy.
Some wood fencing is not considered "neighbor friendly," meaning that one side of the fence doesn't look as nice as the other side. In the city of brotherly love, where neighbors are close (both figuratively and physically), you'll want to install a fence that will mark your property, without alienating those on the other side. Both tongue-and-groove fencing and "shadow box" fencing look great from either side.
Prices and Alternatives
Philly prices for vinyl or PVC fencing, which is becoming more popular as its appearance becomes more like that of real wood, ranges from around $2,000 all the way up to $7,000. Those looking to install something more extravagant should know that the average cost for wrought iron fencing is about $5,000 (and that's the average, not the high end).
To install a wood fence, Philadelphia residents can expect to pay between $1,000 and $4,000, depending on the size of the property and the style of fence. Prices for repairing wood fences are in the $250 to $500 range. These are comparable to national averages, and when compared to the alternatives, also quite affordable.
