Fence or deck in Fayetteville

In Fayetteville, a fence goes through zoning. The city's Planning and Zoning staff review fence permits along with setbacks and other site rules. Building permits come from a different desk, the Permitting and Inspections division, which enforces the North Carolina State Building Code in the city.

The city puts some weight on who signs. Its permit page says a licensed contractor, or someone who works for one, must sign the permit application. Before you hire, ask the contractor who will pull the permit and whose name goes on it.

Fayetteville is a city of detached houses, about six in ten homes. Roughly one home in three in the city went up in the 1960s or '70s.

There's also a person to call first. The city has a Construction Liaison who answers questions before a permit is issued or plans go in. If you're on a corner lot, a sloped yard or a lot that backs onto a drainage ditch, that call can save you a redesign.

Questions homeowners ask

How accurate is a photo estimate?
It’s a ballpark, not a quote. A photo tells us a lot about the material and size, but a local pro who walks the yard will always be more precise. Use our number as the range to expect before you start calling around.
How is a fence priced versus a deck?
Fences are usually priced by the foot and decks by the square foot. We’ll ask one quick question to tell which you’re after, then size it from your photo and your answers.
Which materials can you estimate?
Wood, vinyl, chain-link and metal for fences; pressure-treated wood and composite for decks. Material is the single biggest price swing, so it’s worth picking the one you want.
Is this really free?
Yes. No signup, no credit card, no spam. We only make money if you choose to connect with a local pro — and that’s up to you.
What photo works best?
A wide shot of where the fence or deck will go — or of the old one you’re replacing — works best.
