Why Invest in a Professionally Installed Fence?
Choosing professional fence installation is a significant step towards enhancing your property in multiple ways. Beyond simply marking a boundary, a well-constructed fence offers tangible benefits that contribute to your lifestyle, security, and home value. At Smart Services PDX, we ensure that every fence we build in the Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington, regions delivers these advantages through quality materials and expert workmanship.
Enhanced Security & Safety
A sturdy, professionally installed fence acts as a formidable physical barrier and a significant visual deterrent to potential intruders and unwanted wildlife, thereby safeguarding your family, pets, and valuable property. For families, it creates a secure and controlled environment, allowing children and pets to play safely outdoors without the risk of wandering off or encountering external dangers. This peace of mind is invaluable, especially in bustling neighborhoods within Portland or quieter suburban areas like Tigard, Oregon, or Ridgefield, Washington.
Increased Privacy
Reclaim your outdoor space and enjoy your yard without the feeling of being observed by neighbors or passersby. We specialize in a variety of ‘custom privacy fences,’ including tall, solid wood panel fences and modern vinyl options, specifically designed to create a secluded personal oasis. Imagine enjoying family barbecues, quiet morning coffees, or simply relaxing in your Happy Valley, Oregon, backyard with complete privacy, shielded from the outside world.
Boosted Property Value & Curb Appeal
A high-quality, aesthetically pleasing fence is a significant asset that can dramatically increase your property’s market value and overall curb appeal. It’s often one of the first things potential buyers notice. With a wide selection of styles, materials, and finishes available, you can choose a fence that perfectly complements your home’s architecture and landscaping, making a strong, positive statement in communities from West Linn, Oregon, to Washougal, Washington.
Clear Boundary Definition
Eliminate potential ambiguities and disputes with neighbors by clearly and attractively marking your property lines. A well-defined boundary provided by a professionally installed fence can prevent encroachments, misunderstandings about landscape responsibilities, and foster good neighborhood relations in areas like Oregon City or Milwaukie, Oregon. This clarity is essential for maintaining harmonious living.
Noise Reduction & Wind Protection
Certain fence types, particularly those constructed with solid wood or dense vinyl panels, can effectively help reduce ambient noise from busy streets, nearby commercial activity, or active neighbors. Furthermore, a well-designed fence can act as a windbreak, offering protection from strong gusts common in the Pacific Northwest, thereby creating a more tranquil and enjoyable outdoor environment in your yard, whether you’re in Scappoose, Oregon, or Brush Prairie, Washington.
Durability & Longevity
Our commitment to expert installation techniques and the exclusive use of premium, weather-resistant materials ensure your fence is built to last. We understand the challenges posed by the damp climate of Portland, Oregon, and the varied conditions across Vancouver, Washington. Therefore, our fences are constructed to withstand these elements, offering many years of reliable service with minimal maintenance requirements, saving you time and money in the long run.

Wood Fences: Classic Beauty & Versatility
Wood fences remain a timeless and popular choice for homeowners in the Pacific Northwest, offering natural beauty, inherent warmth, and exceptional versatility in design. Ideal for achieving privacy, enhancing security, and boosting aesthetic appeal, wood fences can be stained or painted to match any home exterior or landscape design. A prevalent and highly recommended wood type for our region is cedar, renowned for its natural resistance to rot, decay, and insect infestation, making it particularly well-suited to the damp conditions often found in Portland, Oregon, and surrounding areas like Beavercreek or Sandy. We skillfully construct various styles, from charming classic picket fences that add a traditional touch, to robust ‘custom privacy fences’ designed for maximum seclusion, including options like board-on-board or shadowbox designs.
Pros
Unmatched natural aesthetic, highly customizable to specific designs and heights, excellent for creating private spaces, can be a cost-effective option depending on the wood type selected (e.g., cedar vs. pressure-treated pine).
Common Styles
Solid panel privacy fences, shadowbox fences (offering privacy with airflow), traditional picket fences, decorative lattice-top fences, sturdy board-on-board designs, and rustic split-rail fences.
Maintenance
Requires periodic maintenance, such as cleaning and applying a new coat of stain or sealant every few years, to preserve its appearance, protect against moisture, and extend its lifespan.
Vinyl Fences: Low Maintenance & Durability
For those seeking a fencing solution that combines long-lasting durability with minimal upkeep, vinyl fencing is an excellent and increasingly popular option. Unlike wood, vinyl won’t rot, warp, splinter, or succumb to insect damage, and it never requires painting, staining, or sealing. Modern vinyl fences are available in a wide array of styles, textures, and colors, including sophisticated options that convincingly mimic the look of natural wood, stone, or stucco. Opting for ‘vinyl fence installation’ means investing in long-lasting beauty and functionality for your property in areas like Tualatin, Oregon, or across the river in Vancouver, Washington.
Pros
Extremely low maintenance requirements, highly durable and resistant to fading, resistant to pests, moisture, and extreme weather conditions, available in a wide variety of styles (privacy, picket, ranch rail) and colors (white, tan, gray, and wood-grain finishes).
Common Styles
Full privacy panels (often with decorative top options), classic picket fence designs, semi-privacy styles, and two, three, or four-rail ranch rail fences.
Maintenance
Typically, occasional washing with soap and water using a garden hose or a gentle pressure washer is all that’s needed to keep a vinyl fence looking its best.
Chain Link Fences: Practical & Secure
Chain link fences offer a cost-effective, highly practical, and durable solution for clearly securing property lines, safely containing pets, or for various commercial and industrial applications. Constructed from interwoven steel wire, these fences are known for their strength and longevity. They are available in traditional galvanized steel, which resists rust, or with vinyl coatings—often in black, green, or brown—to provide a more aesthetically pleasing appearance and additional weather protection, blending better into landscapes in communities like Troutdale, Oregon, or Heisson, Washington.
Pros
Generally the most affordable fencing option, extremely durable and long-lasting, provides effective security and containment, requires very little maintenance, and allows for clear visibility through the fence.
Common Styles
Securing residential backyards, creating dog runs or pet enclosures, enclosing schoolyards and sports courts (tennis, basketball), and securing commercial or industrial properties.
Enhancements
For increased privacy, colored privacy slats can be woven into the chain link mesh. Bottom tension wires and top rails can add to the fence’s rigidity and security.
Custom Privacy Fences
At Smart Services PDX, we understand that your privacy is paramount. We specialize in the design and meticulous installation of ‘custom privacy fences’ that are tailored precisely to your unique specifications, aesthetic desires, and functional needs.

Our custom solutions can also address challenges like uneven terrain, sloping lots, or specific landscape features, ensuring your privacy fence is both beautiful and effective.

Our Fencing Process:
A Seamless Fencing Experience from Start to Finish
At Smart Services PDX, we believe that installing a new fence should be a straightforward and positive experience. Our process is designed for clarity, efficiency, and your complete satisfaction, ensuring that your fencing project in Portland, Oregon, or Vancouver, Washington, is handled professionally from the initial idea to the final handshake.
Initial Consultation & Site Assessment
The journey begins with a thorough, no-obligation consultation. We take the time to listen carefully and understand your specific fencing needs, aesthetic preferences, functional requirements (like privacy or pet containment), and budget. Alberto or an experienced member of our team will then schedule a convenient time to visit your property in the Portland or Vancouver area. During this site assessment, we take precise measurements, evaluate the terrain, identify any potential challenges (like slopes or existing vegetation), discuss material options in detail, and explore various design possibilities that align with your vision.
Detailed Proposal & Quote
Following the on-site consultation and assessment, we compile all the gathered information and develop a comprehensive, transparent proposal. This detailed document will clearly outline the full scope of the work to be performed, specify the selected fencing materials and style, provide an estimated project timeline, and present a clear, itemized cost breakdown. We believe in honest pricing with no hidden fees, ensuring you understand exactly what is included in your investment.
Material Sourcing & Preparation
Once you approve the proposal and are ready to move forward, we take responsibility for sourcing all necessary high-quality fencing materials. We partner with trusted local and national suppliers to procure durable wood, premium vinyl, robust chain link, and any other required components. We ensure all materials are on-site or ready for delivery before the installation day to streamline the process and minimize any disruption to your schedule.
Professional Installation
Our skilled and experienced fencing crew, under Alberto’s guidance, will arrive punctually on the scheduled installation day, fully equipped and prepared to begin work. We meticulously adhere to industry best practices and local building codes for every installation. This includes ensuring posts are set correctly and securely (often in concrete for maximum stability), panels are perfectly aligned and level, and gates are hung properly to function smoothly and reliably. Our focus is on creating a fence that is not only structurally sound and built to last but also visually appealing and a true asset to your property.
Site Cleanup & Final Walkthrough
Upon completion of the fence installation, our commitment to service continues. We conduct a thorough cleanup of the entire work area, meticulously removing all construction debris, leftover materials, and any old fencing materials that were dismantled (if applicable). We leave your property neat and tidy. To conclude the project, we perform a final walkthrough with you, inspecting the newly installed fence together to ensure every detail meets your expectations and that you are completely satisfied with the craftsmanship and the final result.

How long does a typical fence installation take?
The duration of a fence installation project can vary depending on several key factors. These include the total length and height of the fence, the type of material being installed (e.g., wood, vinyl, chain link), the complexity of the terrain (slopes, obstacles), accessibility of the site, and prevailing weather conditions. However, most standard residential fence installations, such as for a typical backyard in Portland or Vancouver, are completed within 1 to 3 working days. We will provide a more precise and realistic timeline with your custom quote after assessing your specific project.
Do I need a permit for fence installation in Portland, OR or Vancouver, WA?
Permit requirements for fence installation differ significantly by city, county, and sometimes even by specific neighborhood due to Homeowners Association (HOA) rules. Generally, in many jurisdictions including areas within Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington, fences below a certain height (often 6 or 7 feet for side and rear yards, and lower for front yards) may not require a building permit. However, it’s absolutely crucial to verify the current local regulations with your city or county planning department before beginning any construction. Smart Services PDX has extensive experience working in these areas and can help guide you on understanding and navigating the permit requirements for your specific location.
What type of fence is best for privacy?
For achieving maximum privacy, solid panel wood fences, particularly those made from cedar with tongue-and-groove or board-on-board construction, are excellent choices. Full-panel vinyl privacy fences are also highly effective. These types of fences can typically be built to various heights, commonly up to 6 or 8 feet depending on local municipal codes, to create a truly secluded and tranquil backyard environment. We specialize in designing and installing ‘custom privacy fences’ tailored to meet your specific screening needs and aesthetic preferences.
How much does fence installation cost?
The cost of fence installation varies widely based on a multitude of factors. The primary drivers include the type of material chosen (e.g., cedar wood is generally more expensive than pressure-treated pine; vinyl costs differ from chain link), the total linear footage of the fence, the desired height and style of the fence, the complexity of the terrain (a flat, clear lot is less expensive than a sloped, rocky, or heavily vegetated one), and any additional features such as the number and type of gates, custom design work, or decorative elements. Smart Services PDX provides free, detailed, and itemized estimates after an on-site consultation. Contact us for your personalized ‘fence installation Portland OR’ or ‘Vancouver WA fencing company’ quote.
What is the difference in maintenance between wood and vinyl fences?
Wood fences, while offering a classic natural beauty, typically require more ongoing maintenance to preserve their appearance and structural integrity. This maintenance usually includes periodic cleaning, and re-staining or re-sealing every 2 to 5 years, depending on the wood type and exposure to elements, to protect against moisture damage, rot, and insect infestation. In contrast, ‘vinyl fence installation’ provides a very low-maintenance alternative. Vinyl fences generally only require occasional washing with soap and water to remove dirt and mildew, keeping them looking new for many years without the need for painting or sealing.
Can you remove my old fence?
Yes, absolutely. Smart Services PDX offers old fence removal and responsible disposal services as an integral part of our comprehensive fence installation projects. If you have an existing fence that needs to be taken down before your new one can be installed, we will include the cost and labor for this service in your detailed project quote, ensuring a hassle-free transition to your new fence.
