McDonough is the Henry County seat, anchored by its historic square and ringed by the rapid residential growth that defines Greater Atlanta's expanding footprint. Homeowners across 30253 and the surrounding areas trust Atlanta Fence Company to install, repair, and maintain the fences and gates that define their property lines, secure their families, and stand up to the demands of Georgia weather.

Whether you need a new wood privacy fence to screen your backyard, a vinyl installation that won't splinter or rot, or emergency repair after a gate has come off its hinges or a storm has brought down a run of fencing, we're the local crew that shows up, does honest work, and leaves your property clean. We've been serving McDonough and the Atlanta area since 2011.

Fence and Gate Work in McDonough (30253)

McDonough's housing stock spans everything from older homes on modest lots near the square to newer subdivisions spreading across Henry County. That variety means fence challenges vary too. Tight lot access, HOA architectural standards, utility lines that need locating before any post goes in the ground, and the straightforward wear that comes from Georgia weather all shape how we approach your project.

We work with wood, vinyl, chain link, aluminum, and ornamental iron. We install new fence, repair existing runs, replace rotted posts, hang gates, and handle automatic driveway gates for larger properties. Pool barrier fencing is installed to meet local pool barrier codes, with final determination resting with the authority having jurisdiction. Our crews are fully insured, and we're AFA Member Installers with the American Fence Association. When you call (470) 823-2437 for a free estimate, you're talking to the same people who will do your work.

How a Fence Job Works in McDonough

Step 1: Free On-Site Assessment. We come out to your property, talk through what you want to accomplish, and look at the actual site. We'll note any utility lines that need locating, check for any HOA restrictions on height or material, and ask about your existing survey if you have one. We work from the line you identify and install on that line. No guessing, no assumptions.

Step 2: The Work. Before we dig a single post hole, we arrange a Georgia 811 utility locate. That's the law, and it keeps everyone safe. We set posts in concrete or tamped earth depending on the job, space them correctly, and build rail and picket runs that are square, plumb, and built to last. If your lot slopes or the ground is uneven, we rack or step the fence so it follows the terrain without gaps. For vinyl, wood, chain link, or ornamental iron, the craft is the same: get the posts right, and the rest follows.

Step 3: Cleanup and Walkthrough. We haul away the scrap, sweep up, and walk the line with you so you see exactly what we built. Then we're gone, and your fence is yours.

Fence pricing in McDonough depends on material, length, site access, and what the ground looks like. Chain link runs start around $15 per linear foot. Wood privacy fence typically runs $25 per linear foot and up, depending on board grade and whether you want pressure-treated pine or cedar. Vinyl is more durable upfront and costs around $36 per linear foot. Ornamental iron and aluminum run $40 per linear foot or more. Repairs start at $440 for post replacement or gate work. Fence removal and replacement, including disposal, starts at $2,300. Automatic driveway gates start at $2,800 and vary widely depending on the operator and your site layout. The best way to know what your job will cost is to call us at (470) 823-2437 for a free estimate. We'll look at your property, ask the right questions, and give you a real number.

Do I need a permit to install a new fence in McDonough?
Permit requirements vary across Henry County and the McDonough city limits. We recommend you check with the Henry County Building Department or the City of McDonough Planning and Zoning office before you start. If your property is in a master-planned community, your HOA architectural standards may also govern fence height, setback, and material. We can help you navigate those rules and work with your HOA if needed, but the final sign-off comes from the local authority. Call us at (470) 823-2437 and we'll help you sort it out.
A storm brought down a section of my fence. Can you repair it, and will my homeowner's insurance cover it?
We can absolutely repair storm damage. We'll assess what came down, whether posts are broken or just the rails and pickets, and give you a repair estimate. If you want to file an insurance claim, we can help document the damage for you. Whether your claim is approved depends on your policy and your insurance company, not on us. We don't promise or imply coverage, but we do honest work at a fair price, and we can provide the information your insurer needs. Call (470) 823-2437 to schedule an assessment.
My vinyl fence is starting to sag and one gate is dragging. Do I need to replace the whole thing?
Not necessarily. A dragging gate is usually a hinge or post issue, not a reason to tear down the fence. We can realign the gate, replace hinges, or reset a post that's shifted. If a vinyl run is sagging, we look at whether posts have settled, whether there's a structural issue, or whether it's just cosmetic. A lot of the time, repair is the smarter spend than replacement. We'll tell you what makes sense for your fence. Call (470) 823-2437 for a free assessment.
I want to install a pool fence. What are the code requirements in McDonough?
Pool barrier fencing is required by Georgia law and local code to meet specific height, spacing, and hardware standards. We install pool fence to meet those codes, but the final determination of compliance rests with the Henry County Building Department or the City of McDonough, depending on your location. A barrier fence is one layer of protection and does not remove the need for adult supervision. Call (470) 823-2437 and we'll discuss your pool site, the fence style you want, and the local requirements.
My neighbor's tree is hanging over my fence and dropping branches on it. What are my options?
Property line issues and overhanging branches are a matter of Georgia property law. Generally, you can trim branches that cross your property line back to the line itself, but the tree still belongs to your neighbor. If you're concerned about damage or liability, we recommend a conversation with your neighbor first. If there's a structural issue (a branch too heavy, a tree too close to your fence), you may want to involve a professional assessment. If your fence has already been damaged by an overhanging branch, we can repair it. Call (470) 823-2437 to discuss what we can do.
Are your crews insured?
Yes. We are fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. When you hire Atlanta Fence Company, you're working with a professional crew that carries the insurance protection you expect. Call (470) 823-2437 if you have any questions about our coverage.
I'm building a new fence in a subdivision with HOA rules. How do I make sure my fence meets the requirements?
HOA architectural standards vary by community and can govern fence height, setback from the street, material, color, and style. Before you start, pull your HOA design guidelines and submit your fence plan for approval if required. Many McDonough subdivisions do require approval. We work with HOAs regularly and can help you navigate the process. We'll also make sure the fence is installed to meet local setback and height rules set by the City of McDonough or Henry County. Call (470) 823-2437 and we'll help you get it right the first time.
