Fence Construction

At Building Sense, we believe a fence is more than just a property line—it’s an extension of your home’s architecture and a key component of your outdoor living space. We specialize in building high-quality, durable wooden fences that provide privacy, security, and timeless aesthetic appeal.

From classic picket styles to modern privacy screens, our fences are engineered to withstand the local climate while enhancing your property’s value.

Our Fencing Styles

We work with premium Pressure-Treated lumber for maximum longevity.

Full Privacy Fencing: Vertical or horizontal board-on-board construction that eliminates gaps, providing a complete visual barrier for your backyard.
Semi-Privacy & Shadowbox: "Neighbor-friendly" designs that look identical from both sides. These allow for airflow while maintaining a high level of privacy.
Horizontal Modern Fences: A contemporary take on traditional fencing, using clean horizontal lines to create a sleek, high-end look.
Traditional Picket & Post-and-Rail: Perfect for front yards and perimeter marking where security and open visibility are both desired.

The Building Sense Structural Advantage

Our Professional Installation Process

Site Mapping & Utility Locates: We handle the coordination of utility locates (Call Before You Dig) and ensure your fence is placed precisely within property boundaries.
Post Setting: We focus on perfect alignment. Using laser levels, we ensure your fence line is straight and your posts are perfectly plumb.
Custom On-Site Framing: We don't use pre-fabricated panels. Every fence is "stick-built" on-site to follow the natural contours and grade of your land without unsightly gaps.
Finishing & Protection: We offer optional staining and sealing services to lock in the wood's color and protect it from grey-out and moisture damage.

Why Choose a Custom Wood Fence?

Natural Aesthetics: Wood blends seamlessly into landscaping in a way that vinyl or chain link cannot.
Complete Customization: We can adjust heights, spacing, and decorative top caps to match your home’s specific style.
Eco-Friendly: Wood is a renewable resource and, at the end of its long life, is biodegradable.
