Fence Installation in Raeford

Wood and privacy fence installed straight, plumb and on line — in Raeford and all around it.

Lots around Raeford and out toward Lillington are big and wooded, which means a fence here is rarely a short run along a flat back line. It goes around trees, over changes in grade, and often several hundred feet before it turns a corner. JJ Construction of Raeford installs wood and privacy fence built for that.

Storm damage keeps fence work steady rather than seasonal in this area — a summer line of wind or a hurricane remnant takes down sections most years. Repairs and full replacements are both normal work. Call James at (910) 574-4887 or Luis at (910) 651-6256 for a free estimate.

What's included

What makes a fence look right two years later is entirely in the posts. Sandy soil does not grip a post the way clay does, so depth and concrete are what keep a line from leaning after the first wet season and the first hard wind — and a leaning post is not something you fix later without pulling it. The line itself gets set with a string before anything goes in the ground, so the run is straight and the posts are plumb rather than each one being eyeballed off the last. Where the ground rolls, the fence either steps down in even sections or follows the grade, and that is a decision made with you before the first hole, because it changes how the whole run looks from the street. Gates are their own piece of work: a gate that is not braced and hung square is the part of a fence that fails first, since it is the only part with moving weight on it. In the newer Hope Mills subdivisions there is one more step — HOA rules on height, style and stain colour, worth bringing to the estimate so the fence you get is the fence you are allowed to keep.

How we work

Walk the line and free estimate

James or Luis walks the property line with you, notes trees and grade, and gives a free estimate on the footage.

Layout and post holes

The run gets strung so it is straight, then holes are dug to depth for the soil rather than a standard number.

Posts set and concreted

Posts go in plumb and get concreted, and they are left to set before any weight goes on them.

Rails, pickets and gates

Rails and pickets go up along the line, gates get braced and hung square, and the finished fence is walked with you.

Fences by city

Raeford, Fayetteville and the towns around them are not one market — a Fort Bragg rental turning over, a brick ranch off Bragg Boulevard and a new build in Hope Mills are three different jobs.

Common questions

Can you replace just the sections a storm took down?
Yes. Section repairs are normal work here. Whether it makes sense depends on the shape of the posts either side of the damage.
My back line runs through trees and up a slope. Is that a problem?
No, but it changes the layout. Whether the fence steps down in sections or follows the grade gets decided with you before the first hole is dug.
How deep do the posts go?
Deep enough for the soil on your lot. Sandy ground does not hold a post like clay does, so depth and concrete are what keep the line from leaning.
