Houma's bayou-country lots come with their own fencing challenges: fishing-industry yards, residential streets mixed with water access, and property lines that shift with seasonal drainage patterns. New Orleans Fence Company has been installing and repairing fences across Houma and the surrounding New Orleans area since 2010, and we know what holds up here.

Whether you need a sturdy chain link fence to secure a working yard, a wood privacy fence for a residential lot, or a gate that actually swings straight in the humidity, our crews show up on time, do the work right, and leave your property clean. Call us at (504) 285-7187 for a free on-site estimate.

Fence Installation and Repair in Houma (70364)

Houma's property mix means we see steady demand for both chain link and wood privacy fencing. Working yards around the fishing industry need tough, no-nonsense chain link that keeps equipment and activity contained. Residential streets call for privacy fencing that stands up to humidity and occasional storm wind without rotting or warping within a few seasons. We understand post spacing, concrete setting depth, and material choice because we've installed hundreds of feet of fence in this exact environment.

Since 2010, our team has served Houma homeowners, property managers, and business owners with fence installation, repair, gate work, and storm damage assessment. We are fully insured, and our crews handle everything from straightforward chain link runs to ornamental metal gates and automatic driveway systems. We work from your existing survey and install on the property line you identify. Before we recommend replacement, we look hard at whether repair makes sense and costs less.

How a Fence Job Works in Houma

Step one is a free on-site visit. We walk your property, look at the fence line, talk about what you need (privacy, containment, appearance, durability), and discuss material options and budget. We answer questions about setbacks, height rules, and whether your HOA or the city has approval steps. We give you a written estimate before we commit to a start date.

Step two is the work itself. Our crews call 811 before we dig any post holes, mark out the fence line, set posts in concrete at the right depth and spacing, install rails and pickets or chain link mesh, and hang gates plumb and square. On tight lots or in neighborhoods with limited access, we plan ahead so we're not blocking driveways or damaging landscaping. We work clean as we go.

Step three is cleanup and walkthrough. We haul away scrap and debris, sweep up, and go through the finished fence with you to make sure it meets your expectations. That's it. You own a fence that will last.

Pricing for fence work in Houma depends on material, length, terrain, and site access. Chain link runs start at $18 per linear foot and are the most economical option for containment and security. Wood privacy fence starts at $32 per linear foot for pressure-treated pine and goes higher for cedar or custom board patterns. Vinyl runs $42 per linear foot. Ornamental metal and aluminum fencing start at $46 per linear foot. Gate installation and repair start at $500, and automatic driveway gates begin at $3,100. Storm damage assessment is free. Repair work (post replacement, hinge adjustment, sagging rail correction) starts at $475. For a realistic quote on your property, call us at (504) 285-7187 and we'll schedule a free on-site estimate. Most jobs in Houma can be quoted the same day.

Do I need a permit to install a fence in Houma?

Houma and Terrebonne Parish have specific rules on fence height, setback from property lines, and material in certain zones. Your local building department can tell you what applies to your lot. If your property is in an HOA or master-planned community, the architectural standards often govern height, material, and color regardless of city code. We recommend confirming with both the city and your HOA before you order materials. On our end, we work from your existing survey and install on the line you identify.

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

Not necessarily. A single rotted post at the ground line can be dug out and replaced without touching the rest of the fence. If the rails are sound and the pickets or mesh are still good, post replacement runs about $480 and buys you years more life. If multiple posts are failing or the rails are damaged, replacement makes more sense. We assess it on site and tell you which path costs less in the long run.

How much does chain link fence cost in Houma?

Chain link installation in Houma runs $18 per linear foot for a basic residential run. Price depends on gauge (thicker wire costs more), mesh size (smaller openings for pet containment or privacy slats), post diameter, and whether you want galvanized or powder-coated finish. A 100-foot run on level ground with standard 1-5/8 inch diameter posts and 11-gauge mesh typically runs $1,800 to $2,000 installed. Call (504) 285-7187 with your footage and we'll give you an exact number.

What happens if a storm damages my fence?

We offer free storm damage assessment. We'll come out, document what failed (snapped posts, blown-over sections, gate damage), and explain what happened and why. We can help you document the damage for an insurance claim. Repair costs depend on the damage, but we're honest about whether it's worth fixing or if replacement is the better choice. We do not promise or imply that insurance will cover the work. That's between you and your carrier.

Can you install a gate that closes and latches on its own?

Yes. Self-closing, self-latching hardware is standard on gates and keeps them from swinging open in wind or being left unsecured. For driveway gates, we install cantilever or V-track systems with automatic operators that open on a remote or keypad. Those start at $3,100 and are fully motorized. For residential yard gates, self-closing hinges and spring latches are simple, reliable, and cost a few hundred dollars. We can show you options when we visit.

Are you insured?

Yes, we are fully insured. Our crews carry general liability and workers' compensation coverage. We can provide a certificate of insurance on request before work begins.

My HOA says the fence has to be a certain height and color. Can you work within those rules?

Absolutely. We work with HOA architectural standards all the time in the New Orleans area. Bring your HOA approval letter or architectural guidelines to the initial estimate and we'll design the fence to meet them. Height, material, color, and post style are all negotiable within the rules. We submit to HOA review if needed and coordinate the timeline so approval doesn't delay your job.
