What Waxhaw does to a fence

Waxhaw grew fast. A lot of the fences in Millbridge, Cureton, Lawson and the other planned neighborhoods went up in the same few years, in red clay, often with pressure-treated pine. Clay holds water. A post that sits in wet clay rots at the ground line, and once a few posts go soft the whole run starts to lean.

On the older lots around downtown and out toward Providence Road, the fences are more varied: split rail along a pasture, a picket fence at the street, a privacy fence behind a newer house. The repair is the same idea everywhere: find the failed post, set a new one in concrete that drains, and keep the boards that are still good.

Summer storms come through hard here. A pine limb on a 6 foot privacy fence usually breaks a rail and a few pickets, not the whole section. That is a one-visit repair when the posts held.

Our shortest drive

We are based in Waxhaw, 28173, the same zip code as you. No travel built into the quote, and an easy return visit if a post needs the concrete to cure overnight.

Matching the neighbors

In a planned community the HOA wants the repair to match the fence next door: same height, same board profile, same stain if there is one. That is how we repair anyway.

Permits, setbacks and HOA approval in Waxhaw

Waxhaw is in Union County. The county handles building permits and inspections; the Town of Waxhaw handles zoning and setbacks for homes inside town limits. Some addresses with a Waxhaw mailing address are outside town limits, so check which rules apply to yours before you plan a new fence. A repair that keeps the same fence in the same place usually needs nothing.

Most of the newer neighborhoods here are in an HOA, so check with your HOA before a new fence and sometimes before a visible repair: most ask for approval first. The form usually wants a plan with the fence line, height, style and gate. We help with that drawing from your sizes. Read our Union County HOA guide.

Before we dig for a new fence we call 811, so the gas, water and cable lines are marked for free. The county or town has the final word on permits and setbacks, and the HOA on its own rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit to build or repair a fence in Waxhaw?
It depends on the work and the address. Waxhaw is in Union County, which handles building permits and inspections, and the Town of Waxhaw handles zoning and setbacks inside town limits. A board or gate repair usually needs nothing. A new fence, or one along a property line, is worth a call to the town before you plan it. They have the final word.
My neighborhood has an HOA. Do I ask them before a new fence?
Yes, and early. Many HOAs in Union County require approval before a new fence goes up, and most ask for a simple plan with the fence line, height, style and gate. We help with that drawing. Get the yes in writing before the first post is set.
Can you fix the fence this week?
Send photos today and we send a written quote, usually the same business day. The work day is usually 6 to 10 days after you accept the quote, and it goes in writing. Being based in 28173, Waxhaw is the shortest drive we have.
What about a fence around a pool?
Pool barriers have their own rules on height, gaps and self-closing gates, and they differ by town. Check with the Town of Waxhaw or Union County first. For a frameless glass pool fence, our sister company Carolina Glass Railing installs those.
