East Charlotte Fences
Privacy, security and chain link upgrades for east Charlotte's ranch-home neighborhoods.
East Charlotte has many 1960s and 1970s ranch homes with original chain link or tired wood fences. Owners often upgrade to wood or vinyl privacy, black aluminum in front and secure gates. Busy corridors like Central Avenue and Albemarle Road bring interest in privacy and noise reduction.

Questions Charlotte homeowners ask
Can I keep my old chain link posts and add wood?
Sometimes chain link posts can carry wood brackets, but results vary. Usually new wood posts last longer and look better.
Do you do security fencing for homes?
Yes: taller rear fences within limits, locking gates and ornamental steel fronts.
