HOAs stop more fences than weather
Mercer Island and Sammamish neighborhoods often restrict height, material and which way the good face points. We prepare the approval packet so you are not chasing signatures after the posts are in.
FENCES
Fence Installation for Eastside Properties
A fence on the Eastside fails at the posts and at the property line, not at the pretty boards. GetHomeFix lays out wood, vinyl, ornamental metal and chain link with posts set for King County soil, and we sort HOA rules before the material is ordered.
What the project includes
- Layout against the survey or the existing line, not a guess from the sidewalk
- Posts set deep and drained so they do not rot or heave
- Wood, vinyl, metal or chain link matched to the HOA list where one exists
- Gates that latch, swing the right way, and clear the slope
- Most runs finished in 2–5 days once posts are set
What matters on the Eastside
Posts decide the second year
A post in standing water fails early. We set depth for the soil we actually dig, and we keep wood ends out of the concrete cup where that detail matters.
The good side and the neighbor
We confirm which face faces out, where gates land, and how the fence meets a deck or a side-yard gate before we order panels.
Fences by city
Each city page covers the permit desk, the HOA habits and the conditions we actually meet at that address.
Materials
Choose the product
Every material below is its own page: what it is right for, what it costs you in maintenance, and where we would talk you out of it.
Wooden Fences
Cedar privacy, horizontal slat and picket fences, built tight and finished so the first winter does not cup the boards.
- Cedar privacy, horizontal slat, board-and-batten or picket
- Posts set and aligned before panels are hung
- Gates with real hinges and a latch you can use with one hand
Vinyl Fences
Privacy and picket vinyl that stays straight, with posts reinforced so a wind off the plateau does not rack the panels.
- Privacy, semi-privacy or picket profiles in a color the HOA will sign
- Posts set in concrete with the rail pockets aligned
- Steel reinforcement in gate posts and longer rails
Metal & Iron Fences
Ornamental aluminum and steel fences that keep a view, a pool edge or a front walk without a solid wall.
- Ornamental aluminum or steel panels in a powder-coated finish
- Posts set to hold a rigid panel, not a flexible wood bay
- Gates with self-closing hardware where a pool code requires it
Chain Link Fences
Galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link for side yards, pets and utility lines — stretched tight, not sagging by spring.
- Galvanized or black/green vinyl-coated mesh
- Terminal posts, rails and tension bars sized for the height
- Fabric stretched, not hung loose between posts
Fence Repair
Leaning bays, rotten posts, dragged gates and storm damage — repaired to match, or replaced when the line is done.
- Post replacement without rebuilding a sound run
- Gate resets: hinges, latches, sag and drag
- Panel and picket replacement matched to the existing fence
Not sure which material?
We bring samples to the house and price two options on the same scope, so the comparison is real.

Questions
Before you call
How long does a fence take?
Most fence projects run 2–5 days depending on length, gates and material. A custom wood run with a slope takes longer than a straight vinyl line.
Do you pull the old fence?
Yes. Tear-out, haul-off and a clean line for the new posts are part of a replacement, not an extra surprise at the end.
Whose property is the fence on?
We build to the line you and your survey describe. We do not settle a boundary dispute. If the pins are unclear, we pause and tell you to get them marked.
