Fencing That Defines and Protects Your Property

Siding Installation & Replacement in Johns Creek

A fence gives you clear boundaries, keeps pets and children in the yard, and creates privacy from neighbors or passing traffic. In Johns Creek, where lot sizes vary and backyards often back up to wooded areas or other homes, fencing installation is one of the most direct ways to control how your property is used and seen. You get separation that's visible and functional.

Jordan Carpentry & Siding installs residential and commercial fencing with attention to durability and proper post setting. The work includes measuring the property line, setting posts in concrete, and attaching panels or pickets that align with the terrain. Fencing improves privacy, security, and property definition, and it's completed by a locally owned team focused on craftsmanship and precise installation.

What Happens During Installation

Fencing installation in Johns Creek starts with confirming property lines and locating underground utilities before digging. Posts are set in concrete footings spaced six to eight feet apart, depending on the material and fence height. Rails are attached to the posts, and panels or pickets are fastened to create a continuous barrier that follows the slope or contour of your yard.

When the fence is finished, you'll notice clean sightlines along the top rail, posts that stand plumb, and gates that swing smoothly without scraping the ground. The fence sits level even on sloped terrain, and the spacing between pickets is consistent across the entire run. If you installed a privacy fence, the panels block the view from neighboring properties without gaps or warping.

Jordan Carpentry & Siding uses treated lumber, vinyl, composite, or metal materials depending on your needs and budget, and all posts are set deep enough to resist frost heave and soil movement. Gates are reinforced with diagonal bracing and fitted with hardware that latches securely. The installation is completed with attention to alignment and finish, so the fence looks deliberate and holds up through weather and use.

Common Concerns Before Installing a Fence

Homeowners in Johns Creek often ask about property lines, material options, and how long a fence will last before they move forward. These answers cover the practical questions that come up during planning.

How deep do fence posts need to be set?
Fence posts are typically set 24 to 30 inches deep in concrete footings to provide stability and resist frost movement. Jordan Carpentry & Siding adjusts depth based on soil conditions and fence height to keep posts secure over time.
What type of fencing lasts longest in Georgia?
Vinyl and composite fencing resist moisture, rot, and insect damage better than wood, and they require little maintenance. Treated wood fencing lasts 15 to 20 years with proper sealing, while metal fencing holds up well in high-traffic or commercial settings.
When do I need a permit to install a fence?
Most residential fencing projects in Johns Creek require a permit if the fence is over six feet tall or located near a property line. You'll also need to confirm setback requirements with your homeowner's association or local zoning office before installation begins.
Why do some fences follow the slope instead of stepping down?
Fences that follow the slope create a continuous top rail that looks smooth and open, while stepped fences create level sections that work better for privacy and pet containment. The choice depends on your yard's terrain and how you plan to use the fenced area.
How do you prevent a fence from warping or leaning?
Proper post depth, concrete footings, and secure rail attachment prevent warping and leaning. Jordan Carpentry & Siding uses bracing and diagonal supports on gates and long runs to keep the fence straight and stable.
