Fence Installation in Richmond
If you’re looking for a company that installs fences in Richmond and the surrounding area, look no further than Commonwealth Construction & Remodeling!
Commonwealth Construction & Remodelinginstalls and replaces fences for homeowners throughout Richmond, Chesterfield County, Henrico County, and the surrounding Virginia communities.
A fence adds privacy, security, and definition to your property, and it should look good doing it. When you work with us, you deal directly with the business owners, not a commissioned sales rep, so the fence you end up with fits your property, your budget, and what you need it to do.
A fence is only as good as how it’s set. Posts that aren’t properly anchored lean, sag, and shift as the ground moves through the seasons. With 30 years of experience, we build fences that are set right and stay straight, backed by some of the best warranties in exterior remodeling.

Fence Materials & Options
The right fence comes down to matching the material to your purpose, your budget, and the look you want. As a brand-flexible installer, we help you weigh the trade-offs honestly rather than steering you toward one product.
We install fencing from a range of trusted manufacturers and walk you through how each option performs on cost, privacy, maintenance, and appearance, so the final choice is genuinely yours.
Wood
A classic, versatile choice for privacy and value, with a natural look that suits most homes.
Vinyl
Low-maintenance and long-lasting; it won't rot, splinter, or need painting, and it keeps its clean look for years.
Aluminum
Strong, rust-resistant, and open to the view; a popular choice for pool enclosures, front yards, and decorative boundaries.
Signs It's Time to Repair or Replace Your Fence
- Leaning, wobbly, or sagging fence sections
- Rotted, cracked, or broken boards and pickets
- Posts that are loose, heaved, or soft at the ground line

Serving Richmond, Chesterfield & Henrico
We install and repair fences throughout the Richmond metro area, with a focus on Richmond, Chesterfield County, and Henrico County, plus surrounding Virginia communities. As a locally owned and operated company native to the area, we’re a short drive away and invested in the neighborhoods we serve.
From the smaller city lots in Richmond’s established neighborhoods to the larger yards across Chesterfield and Henrico and the newer subdivisions further out, fences here have a lot to stand up to. Central Virginia’s clay-heavy soil holds water after heavy rain, and winter freeze-thaw cycles heave posts that weren’t set deep enough or anchored properly. Long, hot, humid summers feed rot and mildew in wood and work at fasteners and hardware, while summer thunderstorms and the wind-driven rain of passing tropical systems push hard against solid privacy panels. Over a few seasons, a fence that wasn’t built for these conditions starts to lean, sag, and pull apart.
For homeowners here, the things worth watching tend to show up at the posts first: sections that lean after a wet winter, posts that are soft or rotting at the ground line, and gates that sag and stop latching. Graying, cracked, or mildewed boards along shaded stretches are another common sign. When we plan a fence in the Richmond area, we’re drawing on 30 years of local experience with these yards, this soil, and this climate to set every post right and keep your fence straight for the long haul.

What Our Customers Say
Real Google reviews from homeowners across Richmond, Chesterfield, and Henrico.
How much does a new fence cost in the Richmond area?
Cost depends on the length of the fence line, the material and height you choose, the number of gates, and site conditions like slopes, trees, or old fencing that needs to come out. Rather than quote a flat figure, we provide an honest price range during your free estimate and explain exactly what’s driving it.
How long does fence installation take?
Most residential fences are installed in a few days, depending on the length of the fence line, the material, and the terrain. We’ll give you a realistic timeline up front and stick to it.
Do you repair existing fences, or only install new ones?
Both. We replace damaged boards and pickets, re-set leaning posts, and fix sagging gates, as well as build full replacements. During your free estimate, we’ll tell you honestly whether a repair or a new fence makes more sense.
What fencing material is best?
There’s no single best fence — wood, vinyl, and aluminum each have strengths depending on your budget, how much privacy you want, and how much maintenance you’re willing to do. We install a range of trusted materials and help you compare them objectively.
How long will a new fence last?
Material and upkeep make the biggest difference. Wood is the most budget-friendly option but needs periodic staining or sealing to stand up to Central Virginia’s heat and humidity, while vinyl and aluminum cost more up front and need very little maintenance over the years. Whatever the material, setting every post properly is what keeps a fence straight and solid for the long haul, and that’s where we focus.
