Chalmette sits on drained slab lots where single-family homes were rebuilt after major flooding, and that foundation matters when a tree fails or a fence line needs reinforcement. We serve Chalmette and the surrounding New Orleans area with fence installation, repair, and gate work since 2010.

Homeowners in ZIP 70043 call New Orleans Fence Company when they need a wood privacy fence that stands up to the exposure here, a vinyl fence that won't warp, chain link that won't sag, or a gate that swings true. We handle storm damage assessments, post replacement, and everything from pool barrier fencing to automatic driveway gates. Same crew does the work every time, and we give you straight answers about what can be repaired and what needs replacing.

Fencing and Gates in Chalmette (70043)

Chalmette's rebuilt housing stock sits on level, drained slab lots where proper post setting and material choice make the difference. The exposure here means posts need concrete footings set below grade, and materials like vinyl and pressure-treated pine hold up better than untreated wood. We work with homeowners on property lines, HOA restrictions (which vary across neighborhoods in St. Bernard Parish), and the practical constraints of tight lot access and existing utilities. Fence height, setback, and material rules are set by the city and parish, so we always recommend confirming requirements with the Chalmette building department before we start.

We have been serving Chalmette and the New Orleans area since 2010. Our team is fully insured, with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. We are AFA Member Installers through the American Fence Association.

How a Fence Job Works in Chalmette

Step 1: You call us at (504) 285-7187 or reach out online. We schedule a free on-site visit to walk your property, measure the run, look at existing posts and gates, check for damage, and talk through what you need. We ask about HOA rules, setback lines, and whether you have a survey or know your property line. No guessing.

Step 2: We locate utilities using Louisiana 811 (required by law before we dig any post holes) and get your approval on material, height, style, and cost. For storm damage, we document what failed and give you a damage assessment at no charge. We set posts in concrete for lasting strength, space them correctly for the fence type, and install rails, pickets, stringers, and gates with the attention they need. Board-on-board, side-by-side, racked or stepped installation, vinyl cap and trim, self-closing hardware on gates, tension bands on chain link, anti-sag bracing where it matters: we do it right.

Step 3: We clean up, haul debris, and walk the finished line with you. Your property is left clean and ready to use.

Pricing for fencing in Chalmette depends on material, length, terrain, and what we find when we dig. Chain link runs from $18 per linear foot, wood and privacy fence start at $32 per linear foot, vinyl and PVC from $42 per linear foot, and ornamental iron or aluminum from $46 per linear foot. Pool fencing starts at $37 per linear foot. Fence repair work typically starts at $475, post replacement from $480, gate installation and repair from $500, and automatic driveway gates from $3,100. Storm damage assessment is free. Fence replacement and removal projects start at $2,600, and staining or restoration work from $1,050. These are ballpark figures; the final price depends on the scope of work, material choice, and what your property requires. Call us at (504) 285-7187 for a free estimate on your project.

What fence material works best on Chalmette's drained slab lots?

Vinyl and PVC fence hold up well because they don't absorb moisture at the ground line the way wood does, and they won't rot. Pressure-treated pine is a solid choice for wood fence, and it costs less than cedar. Galvanized chain link and powder-coated ornamental iron are both durable here. Avoid untreated wood or materials that can't shed water at the post base. We help you pick the right material for your budget and the exposure your fence will face.

Do I need a permit for a fence in Chalmette?

Fence height, setback from the property line, and material rules are set by the city of Chalmette and St. Bernard Parish, and permit requirements vary. We recommend checking with the Chalmette building department before we start work. If you have an HOA, architectural review may also apply. We work from your property line and existing survey, and we always call Louisiana 811 before digging post holes, which is required by law.

My fence is leaning and one post looks rotten. Do I need to replace the whole fence?

Not always. If the rot is only at the base of one or two posts and the rest of the fence is sound, we can pull the bad posts and set new ones in concrete, keeping the rails and pickets intact. If multiple posts are failing or the fence has sagged so far that racking or stepping won't bring it back to plumb, replacement is the better spend. We assess each fence honestly and tell you what repair costs versus replacement, so you can decide.

What happens if a storm damages my fence?

Call us at (504) 285-7187. We offer a free damage assessment and can document what failed, how, and what it will cost to repair or replace. We are fully insured and can help you document the damage for an insurance claim. Repair is often possible if the posts are still sound and only rails or pickets are down. Full replacement may be necessary if posts are pulled from the ground or snapped. We give you honest guidance on the best path forward.

Can you install an automatic driveway gate at my Chalmette home?

Yes. Automatic and driveway gates start at $3,100 and can be cantilever or V-track systems with a gate operator. We handle the hardware, wiring, and operator installation. Before we start, confirm any HOA rules about gate style, height, and material, and check with the Chalmette building department on setback and sight-line requirements. We work from your existing survey and install on the line you identify.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We carry general liability and workers' compensation insurance. We can provide a certificate of insurance on request.

Do you install pool fencing?

Yes. Pool fencing is installed to meet local pool barrier codes, starting at $37 per linear foot. Final determination of compliance rests with the authority having jurisdiction (the city or parish). A barrier fence does not replace supervision of children or swimmers. Confirm all local pool barrier requirements with the Chalmette building department before we start.
