How we rank fence contractors in Philadelphia

Each business is scored on signals we can verify from public data: a live, secure (HTTPS) website, mobile-friendliness, a published phone number and website, and fit with the fence contractors category. We do not collect or display customer reviews, and we do not accept payment for placement. Businesses can claim their listing to correct contact details, but the rank is fixed by the data. Owners can claim a listing for a Verified badge and a direct link; sponsors appear only in labeled blocks outside the numbered list. Neither changes rank.

Local conditions

Hiring fence contractors in Philadelphia: what the local data says

  • 52% of occupied homes in Philadelphia are owner-occupied, and 9% of homes are single-family detached houses. Much of the rest is rowhouses, townhouses and apartments, so check shared property lines, HOA or condo rules and any landlord approval before planning outdoor or roof work.
  • The typical last spring frost in Philadelphia is around April 1 and the first fall frost around November 13, roughly 225 frost-free days. Post holes are easiest to dig and set outside the frozen months, so installs are usually booked in that window.

Common questions

Fence Contractors in Philadelphia: quick answers

How are the fence contractors in Philadelphia ranked?

Each listing is scored on public signals we can check ourselves: whether the website is live and secure (HTTPS), whether it works on a phone, whether a phone number and website are published, and how closely the business matches the fence contractors category. We do not collect customer reviews, so no star ratings or review counts appear here, and no business pays for placement.

How do I pick the best fence contractor in Philadelphia?

Use this list to shortlist two or three fence contractors, then read their Google reviews yourself, confirm license and insurance, and get written estimates before committing. The score here is a filter, not a verdict.

How do I verify a fence contractor's license in Pennsylvania?

Licensing in Pennsylvania runs through the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act registry. Before hiring anyone in Philadelphia, ask for their PA HIC registration number (it starts with PA) and verify it in the Attorney General's public contractor registry before work begins. Also confirm current liability insurance, and get the license number in writing on the estimate.

Which fence contractors serve Philadelphia?

This page lists Integrous, Danny's Fence, Mr Contractor Inc, Deptford Fence Company, Cavalier Steel and Fence Co., Northeast Fence Iron Works, Inc and Mayfair Fence, in ranked order. 5 of the 7 publish a phone number, so you can call those directly; the rest are easiest to reach through their websites.

When is the best time to book fence contractors in Philadelphia?

Going by Philadelphia's own weather records (typical last spring frost around April 1, first fall frost around November 13), the usual windows are from about April 1 into early summer. Booking a few weeks ahead of those windows beats the rush.

How to hire a fence contractor: costs, materials, and the 7 questions that matter

What to look for when hiring a fence contractor in Philadelphia

  • Ask for the Home Improvement Contractor registration (a PA number). In Pennsylvania, fence contractors need it from the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Bureau of Consumer Protection. Verify it at the official Pennsylvania license lookup before signing. A job over $500 needs a written contract you can cancel within three business days, and on jobs over $5,000 the deposit cannot exceed one-third of the price plus special-order materials.
  • Written estimates. Any fence contractor who won't put the scope in writing is a red flag.
  • Review quality, not just volume. Read the 3-star reviews, they're usually the most honest.
  • Local references. A fence contractor who's done work in Center City or Northern Liberties will understand local housing stock better than a regional chain.
