Privacy and Boundaries That Hold Up

Fence installation and repair for residential properties in Norcross, Georgia.

A fence around your property in Norcross creates clear boundaries, keeps pets contained, and adds a layer of privacy that makes your backyard feel more usable. Whether you're installing a new fence to enclose a yard for the first time or repairing sections damaged by storms or age, the quality of the posts, rails, and pickets determines how long the fence will stay straight and functional.

Brothers Carpentry & Painting installs new fences for family homes throughout Norcross and the surrounding suburbs, working primarily with wood and other materials suited for Georgia properties. The process includes marking property lines, setting posts in concrete, attaching rails with corrosion-resistant fasteners, and installing pickets or panels that are aligned and level. Repair services address leaning posts, broken boards, and sections that no longer sit flush with the ground due to settling or drainage changes.

How a Fence Gets Installed Properly

Installing a fence in Norcross starts with confirming property lines and checking for underground utilities before digging. Posts are set in concrete at consistent intervals, with depth adjusted based on soil type and grading. Rails are fastened to the posts, and pickets or panels are attached with spacing that accounts for wood movement and seasonal expansion.

After the installation is complete, you'll see a fence line that runs straight without gaps or leaning sections, gates that swing smoothly and latch securely, and boards that are aligned at a uniform height. The yard feels more defined, and children or pets can use the space without the risk of wandering into neighboring properties or onto the street.

Job sites are kept organized throughout the project, and surrounding property lines are respected to avoid accidental damage to landscaping or structures. The work is planned to fit the layout of growing suburban neighborhoods where fencing often becomes necessary as families settle in and outdoor use increases.

Answers to questions that come up during planning

Here are some of the most frequent questions from homeowners in Norcross who are considering a new fence or evaluating whether their current one can be repaired.

How deep do fence posts need to be set?
Posts are typically set at least two feet deep in this area, with depth adjusted based on soil conditions and the height of the fence. Concrete is poured around each post to prevent shifting and keep the structure stable over time.
What type of wood is used for fences in Georgia?
Pressure-treated pine is the most common choice because it resists moisture and insect damage. Cedar is also available for homeowners who prefer a natural finish and are willing to apply periodic treatments to maintain its appearance.
How long does a fence installation take?
Most residential fence projects in Norcross are completed in two to four days, depending on the length of the fence line and the complexity of the terrain. Repairs are usually finished in a single day.
What happens if the ground is uneven?
Uneven grading is addressed by stepping the fence or adjusting the height of individual pickets so the top rail stays level while the bottom follows the contour of the ground. This keeps the fence functional and visually consistent.
When should a fence be repaired instead of replaced?
If the posts are still solid and only a few boards or rails are damaged, targeted repairs can restore function without the cost of a full replacement. If multiple posts are leaning or rotting at the base, a new fence is usually the better long-term option.
