Slidell sits on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain, and that proximity shapes everything about fence maintenance and replacement here. Storm surge, wind load, and salt-laden air work on wood and metal year-round, and when a hurricane or nor'easter hits, we see fence damage across 70458 that demands fast, honest repair.

New Orleans Fence Company has served Slidell homeowners and property managers since 2010. We install and repair wood, vinyl, chain link, aluminum, and ornamental iron fencing, and we handle gate work from simple swing gates to automatic driveway systems. When a storm brings your fence down or a gate drags off its hinges, we show up with fully insured crews and get you back to a secure property line.

Fencing in Slidell (70458)

Slidell's north-shore location means your fence faces real exposure. Wind load and storm surge are not hypothetical here. Wood fences can absorb moisture at the base, and posts set without proper concrete footing or drainage can lean within a few years. Vinyl holds up well against salt and humidity, but impact damage from falling branches or storm debris can crack panels. Chain link and ornamental iron are durable, though hardware and hinges corrode faster in coastal air. We see a lot of fence replacement work tied to storm damage, and we also see homeowners choosing to upgrade to materials that stand up better to Slidell's climate and exposure.

Our team has been working in the New Orleans area and Slidell since 2010. We know the ground, the weather patterns, the permit rules in St. Tammany Parish, and what holds up. We're fully insured for storm damage repair and fence replacement, and we document damage clearly so you can file a claim if your homeowner's policy covers it.

How a Fence Job Works in Slidell

First, we listen. You call (504) 285-7187 or reach out online and describe what you need: a new privacy fence, a gate repair, storm damage assessment, or a full replacement. We schedule a free on-site visit. We walk your property, check setbacks and property lines, look at existing posts and hardware, and talk through your goals and budget. If permits are required in your area or your HOA has architectural standards, we flag that upfront and help you understand what applies.

Once you approve the plan and pricing, we handle the work. Our crews use proper post spacing, set posts in concrete where code requires it, and install stringers, rails, and pickets (or panels) to spec. For chain link, we tension the fabric correctly and install stretcher bars and tension bands so the fence stays square and tight. Gates get self-closing and self-latching hardware when you need it, and we make sure hinges are level and the gate swings free. We call 811 before we dig, because Louisiana law requires utility locates before any post-hole work.

When we're done, we clean up. Scrap material, sawdust, and debris get hauled away. We do a final walk-through with you, show you how to maintain the fence, and answer questions. You have a secure, properly installed fence that will serve you well.

Fence pricing in Slidell depends on material, length, height, and site conditions. Wood privacy fence runs from $32 per linear foot. Vinyl and PVC are more weather-resistant in our climate and start at $42 per foot. Chain link is the budget option at $18 per foot and works well for utility areas and pet containment. Aluminum and ornamental iron, popular for front-yard curb appeal, start at $46 per foot. Gates run $500 and up depending on size and hardware. Automatic driveway gates start at $3,100. Storm damage assessment is free. Fence repair jobs start at $475, and post replacement or repair begins at $480. Full fence replacement and removal starts at $2,600. The best way to know what your project will cost is a free on-site estimate. Call us at (504) 285-7187 and we'll give you honest numbers based on what we find.

What fencing material holds up best to Slidell's weather and salt air?

Vinyl and PVC are excellent choices for north-shore exposure because they don't absorb moisture, don't rot, and resist salt corrosion. Ornamental aluminum and powder-coated steel also perform well. Pressure-treated wood can work if posts are set in concrete with good drainage, but cedar or pressure-treated pine will need more maintenance over time. Chain link with galvanized or powder-coated hardware lasts a long time with minimal upkeep. We can walk you through the trade-offs of cost, durability, and maintenance for your property.

My fence was damaged in a storm. What's the first step?

Call us at (504) 285-7187 for a free damage assessment. We'll look at what failed, whether it's worth repairing or if replacement makes sense, and we'll document the damage with photos and notes. That documentation helps you file a homeowner's insurance claim if your policy covers it. We can help you understand what your coverage may include, but the final decision on coverage rests with your insurance company. Our fully insured crews handle the repair or replacement work once you're ready.

Do I need a permit to replace my fence in Slidell?

Permit requirements vary by location in St. Tammany Parish and depend on fence height, setback, and material. If you live in a master-planned community or HOA, deed restrictions and architectural standards may also apply. We recommend checking with the St. Tammany Parish building department or your HOA before you start. We can help you understand what applies to your property and coordinate with the building department if a permit is needed.

What's the difference between a fence that can be repaired and one that needs replacement?

A fence with a few rotted posts, loose boards, or hardware that's rusted or bent can often be repaired by replacing the bad sections. If most of the fence is leaning, the majority of posts are soft at the base, panels are cracked or warped, or the whole run is unstable, replacement is usually the better spend. We assess each job honestly and tell you upfront whether repair will hold or if replacement is the right call.

Can you install a fence on my property line, or do I need a survey?

We install on the property line you identify. If you have an existing survey, we work from that. If you're unsure where your property line runs or there's a dispute with a neighbor, a licensed land surveyor can determine the boundary. Once you know the line, we'll install the fence correctly on it.

Are your crews fully insured?

Yes. We carry general liability and workers' compensation insurance. We can provide a certificate of insurance on request. That means you're protected if someone is injured on the job or if property damage occurs during our work.

I have a pool in my backyard. What are the fencing rules in Slidell?

Louisiana state law and local code require pool barriers to meet specific height, strength, and gate-closing standards. We install pool fencing to meet those codes. However, the final determination of compliance rests with the local authority having jurisdiction, usually the St. Tammany Parish building department or your city. We recommend checking with them on the exact requirements for your pool. A barrier fence is an important safety layer, but it does not replace active supervision of children.
