Fence Installation & Replacement Services in Matthews, NC
Matthews grew from a small railroad depot town, once nicknamed Stumptown, into one of the most sought-after suburbs on Charlotte’s southeast edge, and its mix of historic in-town streets and newer subdivisions keeps our crews busy. Sunrise Fence installs, replaces, and repairs fences all over town, whether you are enclosing a shaded lot near downtown Trade Street, replacing a weathered fence in an established neighborhood off Sardis Road, or rebuilding after a storm. From privacy panels to custom builds for a larger property, we see the whole job through, from the first measurement to the final latch.

Serving Matthews and Southeast Mecklenburg County
The way we work is simple: an honest, itemized quote and a real look at your yard before any number is final. We are licensed and insured, and Matthews homeowners keep hiring us because we handle the details, arriving when promised and clearing away every scrap of debris at the end. Walking the property in person lets us account for the actual grade, the Piedmont clay, and exactly where your line runs, rather than pricing sight unseen over the phone. Working across southeast Mecklenburg every day also means we already understand the town’s permit process and the review boards in subdivisions like Shannamara and Matthews Commons. What you get is a fence matched to your lot, your budget, and your street, priced plainly with nothing slipped in later.
Fencing Services We Offer in Matthews
Whatever your property needs, from one crooked gate to an entire boundary, we cover the full range of fencing work for Matthews homes and businesses:
- Fence Installation: New fencing in wood, vinyl, aluminum, chain link, or ornamental steel, set to your property line and built to meet town code.
- Fence Replacement: When a fence has started to lean, rot, or simply give out, we remove the old one, dispose of it responsibly, and set a replacement made to last.
- Storm Damage Repair: Carolina storms drop limbs and flatten fence sections. We respond quickly to make your yard secure again after high winds and passing tropical weather.
- Gate Installation: From single walk gates to wide double-drive gates, mounted on solid hardware and tuned so they open smoothly and close tight every time.
- Custom Fence Design: Privacy screening, decorative panels, split-rail for open lots, and blended-material designs shaped to complement the style of your home.
You always know where the project stands. We stay in touch from the opening measurement through the final inspection, and because our trucks show up fully stocked, most residential jobs finish in a matter of days. Soon enough you are back to using the yard, whether that means a safe, enclosed space for kids and pets or a tidy setting for a weekend gathering.

A Fence Is Worth Doing Right
Few home upgrades return as much as a well-built fence. It delivers privacy, keeps children and pets safe, sharpens curb appeal, and puts any question about your boundary to rest, all at the same time. In a town where established lots sit close together and newer homes often arrive with no fence at all, that value is easy to see. The catch is that it only holds up when the work is done correctly. A large share of our calls come from people who took the cheapest bid and then watched the posts lean within a year. We would rather build it once, the right way: the proper material for how you will actually use it, posts set below the frost line and firmly anchored, gates carried on hardware rated for real weight, and panels installed with the seasonal movement of clay in mind. If you already have a fence, a little routine care extends its life considerably. Spotting a loose post, a worn latch, or a storm-jarred panel early is what keeps a minor repair from becoming a full replacement. When the job wraps, we walk the finished line with you, point out the simple upkeep your particular material needs, and hand you a number you can call directly if anything ever comes up. Cared for this way, a fence protects your family, your pets, and your property line for years, and it stays looking as sharp as the day the last panel went in.

Common Fence Questions in Matthews
Do I need a permit or HOA approval for a fence in Matthews?
It depends on where you live. Newer Matthews subdivisions typically require you to submit your fence plan to the HOA’s architectural committee first, while many older in-town properties have no HOA at all. A town permit may also apply depending on the project. We confirm exactly what your address requires for materials, height, and placement before we start, so the finished fence meets every rule the first time.
How long does a typical fence installation take?
Once the materials are on site and utilities are marked, a standard residential fence usually goes up in one to three days. Bigger lots, custom layouts, or challenging terrain can add time. After we see the property, we give you a realistic schedule in writing so nothing about the timeline catches you off guard.
Which fencing material holds up best around Matthews?
That comes down to what you want from it. Vinyl and aluminum resist rot and ask very little in maintenance, which suits a lot of homeowners through our humid summers. Wood such as pressure-treated pine or cedar costs less up front and gives you that classic look with some upkeep over time. We lay out the trade-offs across privacy, price, lifespan, and HOA approval so your choice fits you, not just the invoice.
Can storm damage be repaired without replacing the entire fence?
Frequently, yes. As long as the posts and most panels remain sound, we can swap out the damaged sections and re-anchor the rest, which keeps your costs down. If the damage is widespread or the fence was already near the end of its life, we will tell you straight and put both repair and replacement options in front of you so the decision stays yours.
Will you remove and haul away my old fence?
Yes. A full replacement includes tearing out the old fence, clearing the site, and disposing of the debris responsibly, so you are not left with a pile of scrap in the yard afterward. It is built into the quote, with no surprise charge tacked on at the end.
