Frequently Asked Questions About Fencing in Smithfield NC
Answers to common questions from Johnston County homeowners about fence installation
How much does fence installation cost in Smithfield NC?
Fence installation costs in Smithfield NC typically range from $15-$50 per linear foot depending on material, fence height, and terrain. Wood privacy fences average $20-$35 per foot, vinyl fences $25-$45 per foot, and chain link $15-$25 per foot. For a typical backyard fence (150-200 linear feet), Smithfield homeowners invest between $3,000-$10,000 depending on materials. Contact NC Fence Co at (910) 443-4113 for a free, accurate estimate for your specific project.
Do I need a permit to build a fence in Smithfield NC?
In Smithfield and Johnston County, fence permits are typically required for fences over 7 feet tall. Residential fences under 7 feet usually don't require a permit, but setback requirements from property lines apply — typically 2 feet in most residential zones. If you're in a historic district or HOA community, additional approvals may be needed. Our team researches permit requirements for your specific location and handles the process if permits are necessary.
What is the best fence material for Johnston County's climate?
Johnston County's humid subtropical climate with hot summers and occasional severe weather means choosing the right material matters. Vinyl and aluminum fences perform exceptionally well, resisting rot, rust, insects, and UV damage without maintenance. Pressure-treated pine is popular and affordable but requires occasional sealing. Cedar offers natural rot resistance with beautiful aesthetics. For coastal-influenced areas, vinyl or aluminum are ideal. We help you choose based on your priorities — durability, appearance, maintenance requirements, and budget.
How long does fence installation take in Smithfield?
Most residential fence installations in Smithfield are completed in 1-3 days, depending on fence length, material, and terrain complexity. A typical 150-foot backyard privacy fence usually takes 1-2 days. Larger properties, commercial projects, or challenging terrain may take 3-5 days or more. We provide a specific timeline estimate during your free consultation and keep you informed throughout the project. Weather delays are rare but communicated promptly.
Does NC Fence Co offer financing for fence installation?
Yes, NC Fence Co offers flexible financing options for qualified Smithfield homeowners. We understand that a quality fence is a significant investment in your property's value, security, and enjoyment. We work with financing partners to offer competitive rates and manageable payment plans. Ask about our current financing programs when you call for your free estimate at (910) 443-4113.
Can you remove my old fence before installing a new one?
Absolutely. NC Fence Co provides complete old fence removal and disposal services as part of your project. We'll assess your existing fence during the consultation and include removal costs in your quote if needed. In some cases, portions of your existing fence (like posts) may be in good condition and reusable, which can reduce costs. We handle all debris removal and leave your property clean.
How do I find my property lines before installing a fence?
Knowing your exact property lines is essential before fence installation to avoid disputes with neighbors and ensure compliance with setback requirements. You can check your property survey (often included in closing documents), look for existing property markers, or check with Johnston County's GIS mapping system. If boundaries are unclear, we recommend hiring a licensed surveyor. We're happy to advise on this process during your consultation.
