  • Do I need a permit to build a deck, fence, or patio?

    Yes, in most cases you'll need a permit, especially for decks and fences over a certain height or structures attached to your home. As one of the finest local fence companies around, Armor Fence, Deck, & Patio will check with your local county or city permitting office for exact requirements.

  • How long does it take to build a deck, fence, or patio?

    The timeline varies depending on size and complexity. On average, it'll take our fence, patio, and deck builders:


    - Deck: One to three weeks

    - Fence: One to five days

    - Patio: Three to 10 days


    It's important to note that weather and permits can affect timing.

  • What materials are best for decks, fences, and patios?

    As fence, patio, and deck builders, we have our own preferences. For each, they are: 


    - Decks: Pressure-treated wood, composite, PVC, or hardwoods like ipe

    - Fences: Wood, vinyl, aluminum, or chain link

    - Patios: Concrete, pavers, natural stone, or stamped concrete

  • Do you handle design and planning?

    Yes! As a local fence company, we help with design, material selection, and even HOA paperwork if needed. We also manage permitting and inspection coordination.

  • What's the difference between composite and wood decking?

    As one of the finest local wood and composite deck companies, we know both quite well! In our experience, wood is natural and usually less expensive up front but requires regular maintenance. Composite is more expensive initially but lasts longer and requires less upkeep.

  • Can you add features like lighting, stairs, or built-in seating?

    Absolutely. We offer custom add-ons like lighting, railings, privacy screens, benches, and multi-level platforms. Contact our deck builders today to learn more.

  • Do you offer fence repair as well as installation?

    Yes, we do both full installations and repairs-whether it's replacing panels, fixing gates, or repairing storm damage. Call our fence company today!

  • How do I maintain a wood fence?

    As a local fence company, we recommend sealing or staining your fence every two to three years and cleaning it yearly to prevent rot and discoloration.

  • Can a patio be added to an existing yard with a slope?

    Yes, we can grade and level the area, or even add retaining walls or steps for sloped yards. Contact our patio and deck builders today to learn more.

  • Do you offer financing options or seasonal discounts?

    Yes! Our local fence company offers financing for qualified customers and run seasonal promotions. Ask about current specials during your free consultation.


    According to IBISWorld, there were approximately 346,000 businesses operating in the United States fence construction industry as of 2024. However, not all offer discounts, financing options, or free consultations. We're proud to offer all three to our customers!
