A Fence Company That Understands the Coast

Wilmington Fence Co. focuses on one thing: fences that survive the Cape Fear coast. Between the salt spray off Wrightsville Beach, the sandy soil of Pleasure Island, and the hurricane season that defines life in southeastern North Carolina, this is one of the hardest places in the country to keep a fence standing and looking good. Generic, inland-spec fencing doesn't cut it here.

That's why everything we recommend is chosen for local conditions first. Aluminum keeps roughly 98% of its strength after a decade of salt-spray exposure, while ordinary galvanized steel drops to about 71% — so along the water we lean on powder-coated aluminum and stainless hardware. Where homeowners want privacy, we build with coastal-grade vinyl or properly treated wood set in deeper, storm-ready footings. The right material in the right spot is the whole game.

Local knowledge that saves you money

We work across greater Wilmington every week — from ornamental aluminum inside Landfall's gated, architecturally-reviewed streets, to privacy fencing in fast-growing Porters Neck and Ogden, to farm and estate fencing on the larger lots of Castle Hayne. We know which neighborhoods require HOA approval, where New Hanover County requires a fence permit, and how close to the marsh you can realistically build.

How we work

No pressure and no bait-and-switch. You tell us about your property, we come look at it, and we give you a clear estimate with honest material recommendations for your exposure and budget. If a cheaper material will fail in five years next to the Intracoastal Waterway, we'll tell you — and explain the option that will actually last.

What we install

Wood and privacy fencing, coastal-grade vinyl, aluminum and ornamental fencing, chain-link, farm and ranch fencing, and gates with automatic access — plus repair and storm-damage work when the weather wins a round. Explore the full range of fencing or see the towns we serve.
