Westwego sits on a river-town lot pattern that runs narrow toward the levee, and those tight property lines shape everything about fence work here. Wood privacy fencing dominates the streetscape in 70115, and for good reason: it matches the neighborhood character and gives homeowners the screening they need on small, densely planted parcels.

New Orleans Fence Company has served Westwego and the surrounding New Orleans area since 2010. We know the challenges of narrow lots, wet ground conditions near the levee, and the importance of durable materials that hold up in a moisture-rich environment. When Westwego homeowners need a new fence, repairs to storm-damaged runs, or a gate that actually swings freely, they call us at (504) 285-7187.

Fencing for Westwego's River-Town Lots

Westwego's housing stock sits on property lines that run tight and deep, with many lots sloping gently toward the levee. That topography and the high water table mean fence posts sit in challenging ground. We install posts set in concrete to anchor them properly, and we choose pressure-treated pine and cedar boards that resist moisture at the ground line where rot starts. Board-on-board and side-by-side installation both work well here, depending on your privacy needs and the direction of prevailing wind.

Privacy fencing is the expected look in 70115, but we also install vinyl, chain link, ornamental metal, and gates of all kinds. Our team has handled wood fence repair and replacement across Westwego for over a decade. We understand post spacing, racking for slopes, and the difference between a fence that lasts and one that fails at the ground line within five years. Storm damage is common along the river, and we offer free damage assessments and honest repair estimates before recommending replacement.

How a Fence Job Works in Westwego

You call us at (504) 285-7187 or request a free on-site estimate through our website. We schedule a time to walk your property, measure the fence line, and discuss what you need: privacy, security, pet containment, or storm recovery. We'll ask about your HOA rules if you're in a master-planned community, and we confirm any local setback or height requirements with the city or parish building department.

Before we dig a single post hole, Louisiana law requires a utility locate through 811. We handle that call. Then our crews set posts in concrete at proper spacing, install rails and stringers, and hang boards or panels to your specifications. On a narrow Westwego lot, we work carefully around existing structures and tight access points. We'll rack the fence to follow a slope, step it if the grade is steep, or install it level depending on your preference and the terrain.

When the fence is up, we clean the site, haul debris, and walk the line with you to confirm the work meets your expectations. Storm-damaged fencing gets the same attention: we assess what can be repaired, what needs replacement, and we price both honestly. You're not paying for unnecessary tearout.

Wood privacy fencing in Westwego starts at $32 per linear foot for pressure-treated pine with standard post spacing and concrete-set posts. Vinyl runs $42 per linear foot. Chain link is the budget option at $18 per foot. Ornamental metal and aluminum fence cost $46 per foot and up. A typical Westwego privacy fence for a 100-foot run will land between $3,200 and $4,200 depending on board height, wood species, and site conditions. Fence repair starts at $475 for a single post or a short run of damaged boards. Post replacement runs $480 and up. Storm damage assessment is free. Gates begin at $500 for a basic swing gate; automatic driveway gates start at $3,100. All pricing assumes Louisiana 811 utility locates have been called. Call us at (504) 285-7187 for a free estimate tailored to your property.

Why does wood fence rot at the ground line so fast in Westwego?

Moisture. Westwego's high water table and the wet soil near the levee mean wood stays damp at the post base year-round. Pressure-treated pine resists rot better than untreated wood, but even treated posts need proper drainage and concrete footings set below grade. We set posts deep and use concrete to shed water away from the wood. Cedar looks nicer and resists rot naturally, but it costs more. Either way, the ground line is where failure starts, so we focus on that detail.

My fence blew over in a storm. Do I need to replace the whole thing?

Not always. We offer a free damage assessment. If posts are broken or leaning badly, replacement is the right call. If boards are cracked or panels bent but posts are solid, repair is cheaper and faster. We'll be honest about what holds and what doesn't. Storm damage assessment is free at (504) 285-7187, and we can help document the damage for your insurance claim.

How much does it cost to remove and replace a 150-foot fence in Westwego?

Fence removal and replacement for 150 linear feet runs $2,600 and up, depending on the material you choose and site access. Wood privacy replacement at $32 per foot would land around $4,800 for materials and labor. Vinyl is higher. The cost factors are board height, wood species, post spacing, concrete depth, and whether we can drive a truck to the fence line or carry materials by hand on a narrow lot.

Does Westwego require a permit for a new privacy fence?

Permit rules vary across the New Orleans area. Some jurisdictions require a fence permit, others don't. Height, setback, and material rules are set by your city or parish building department and your HOA if you're in a master-planned community. We recommend you confirm permit requirements with the Westwego or Jefferson Parish building department before you start. If a project is valued at $7,500 or more, Louisiana law may require a Home Improvement Registration. We'll discuss this with you during the estimate.

My neighbor's tree branch hangs over my fence line. What can I do?

That's a property line question. Branches that hang over your fence belong to your neighbor, but you can trim them back to your property line at your own cost. If you're concerned about a branch damaging your fence or a gate, talk to your neighbor first. If the branch is dead or hazardous, your neighbor may have a liability issue. For questions about where your property line actually runs, a licensed land surveyor can determine that. We work from your existing survey and install on the line you identify.

Are you insured for fence work?

Yes. We are fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. We can provide a certificate of insurance on request. Our crews are trained in safe practices, and we carry the right coverage for the work we do.

What's the best time of year to install a fence in Westwego?

We work year-round. Fence installation doesn't depend on a growing season the way tree work does. Concrete sets fine in cool weather, and we can dig post holes any time the ground isn't frozen (which is not a concern in Westwego). Spring and fall tend to be busy, so if you want faster scheduling, winter or summer can be good times to call. Storm damage drives urgency, and we respond to that whenever it happens.
