Company FAQs

Since 1996, Easter Fencing has been a family-owned business and has always put quality first. Our team is proud to say that we are the only company in the Carolinas specializing exclusively in the I Drive Power System for post installation. As a cutting-edge company, we focus on delivering real value and lasting quality rather than cheap prices, and our passion for craftsmanship drives us to use the latest tools and techniques, ensuring your fence is stronger, more durable, and built to stand the test of time.

We offer a large selection of fencing options to fit your style and budget.

We also install durable chain link fences for practical security needs and Trex composite fencing for those who want a premium, eco-friendly alternative with excellent longevity.

We aim to make your fence installation as smooth and stress-free as possible. While we typically ask homeowners to handle the permitting, we'll step in if you need help. Before installation day, we kindly ask that the fence line be cleared of trees, shrubs, or furniture. If possible, we'd love for you to be home during the installation or at least available afterward for a quick walkthrough to ensure everything looks right.

Residential Fence FAQs

To get a quote for your fence, just contact our team! We'll measure your yard, walk you through material options, and provide a personalized quote. Our goal is to make the process simple and stress-free so you can get the perfect fence for your property and budget.

In a region like the Carolinas, your fence should withstand rain, humidity, and the changing seasons. Vinyl, chain link, and composite fences hold up well in harsh conditions, and if you prefer a modern, low-maintenance look, aluminum and decorative steel are excellent, weather-resistant choices.

Before installation day, review any local regulations or HOA requirements that may apply to your property. It's also important to identify your property lines and clear the area of large obstacles, debris, or overgrown landscaping. If you're unsure where to start, our team will guide you through the process from start to finish!

Commercial Fence FAQs

We offer a wide selection of commercial fences, including aluminum, vinyl, composite, wood, chain link, and decorative steel. Each option can be tailored to your business property with different levels of security, privacy, durability, and curb appeal.

Yes, we can install gates to match your commercial fence, including swing, slide, cantilever, and egress gates. We'll help you choose the best gate style to match your fence and meet your property's access, security, and operational needs.

Maintenance depends on the fence material that you choose. Vinyl, chain link, aluminum, decorative steel, and composite fences are low-maintenance options, which makes them easy to clean with a quick rinse and mild soap. On the other hand, wood fences may need occasional staining or sealing to keep them strong and long-lasting. You should also inspect your chain link and decorative steel fences to prevent rust and damage.

Agricultural Fence FAQs

The right fence depends on your livestock, terrain, and security requirements. For example, barbed wire fences are better for cattle while wood fences may be better suited for horses. We'll assess your farm's needs and help you select the ideal fence to ensure safety and durability.

The lifespan of a fence varies depending on the material and maintenance. Wooden fences can last 15 to 20 years with care in the Carolinas, while wire and electric fences may last over 20 years with minimal upkeep. In most conditions, vinyl fences are the most durable, lasting over 25 years.

Regular maintenance depends on the material of your fence. To protect against harsh weather, you can treat wood fences with stain or sealant. For wire fences, check for rust and tension. We can also provide ongoing maintenance services to keep your fence in top condition for years!

Aluminum Fence FAQs

I-Posts are specially engineered fence posts shaped like a capital "I" and added to our aluminum fence posts for strength and durability. We prefer using the I-Post inserts because they hold up better over time, especially in high-wind areas or sloped terrain, and they help keep your fence straight and secure for years to come.

Our no-dig method is cleaner, faster, and more property-friendly than traditional concrete footings. We were doing no-dig fencing long before it became popular, and we've perfected the process. No-dig works especially well in North Carolina and South Carolina's clay soils and unpredictable weather conditions, helping to prevent long-term damage to your fence.

Yes, no-dig fencing is built to be stronger than concrete-set fencing. We anchor our I-Posts using specialized drive systems that drive the posts deep into the ground for optimal strength. This practice allows the fence to flex with the ground without loosening over time.

Decorative Fence FAQs

Decorative steel fences combine timeless elegance with unmatched strength. Their sleek design enhances curb appeal and increases property value, while the durable steel construction resists pests, warping, and weather damage, all with minimal maintenance required.

Yes, decorative steel fencing is highly secure. Steel is one of the strongest fencing materials available, making it an ideal security fence option. While it adds beauty to your property, it is also a strong barrier that helps deter intruders and protect your space.

Absolutely! We offer various decorative steel fence styles to match your personal taste. From classic to modern designs, you can customize elements like the height and design to create a fence that perfectly complements your property.

Chain Link Fence FAQs

Vinyl Fence FAQs

Yes. When installed correctly using drive-post systems and reinforced vinyl posts, no-dig fences are stronger than fences set in concrete. Our technique allows for flexibility in the ground, which helps prevent cracking, leaning, or frost heave over time.

North Carolina and South Carolina's soil and weather can be hard on traditional fence footings. Our no-dig approach keeps your vinyl fence stable, even in clay-heavy soil or during heavy rains. It also protects your yard from unnecessary damage and makes for a cleaner, more efficient installation.

As a Premium Member of the Club Catalyst Dealer program, we have access to top-tier vinyl products, exclusive training, and manufacturer-backed support. This means our customers get the best materials installed by a team that stays on the cutting edge of vinyl fencing.

Composite Fence FAQs

Composite fencing is made from a blend of recycled wood fibers and plastic. This combination creates a durable, eco-friendly material that offers the natural look of wood with the strength and low-maintenance benefits of synthetic materials.

With composite fencing, you can enjoy the beauty of wood with the durability of modern materials. It doesn't rot, warp, or splinter and never needs to be painted or stained. Composite fencing is resistant to insects, moisture, and fading, offering privacy, security, and curb appeal for years to come.

Composite fences are built to last 20 to 30 years or more. Thanks to their durable blend of wood fibers and plastic, they resist rot, fading, warping, and insect damage, which makes them a long-term, low-maintenance fencing solution.

Wood Fence FAQs

PostMaster steel posts offer the strength of metal with the look of wood. They're hidden inside the fence, giving you a clean, traditional appearance with serious long-term durability. Unlike wood posts, they won't rot, warp, or split, which is especially important in North Carolina and South Carolina's changing weather.

Start with the proper foundation. Our no-dig installation paired with PostMaster steel posts gives your wood fence excellent stability and longevity. This combination resists shifting, moisture damage, and high winds better than traditional wood-only construction.

Yes, when installed properly. Our team builds wood fences to handle the heat, humidity, and heavy rainfall common in North Carolina and South Carolina. We use quality materials and proven techniques, like no-dig posts and steel supports, to reduce rot, warping, and movement over time.

Temporary Fence FAQs

Chain link temporary fencing is made from interwoven galvanized steel wires, offering flexibility and durability. Welded wire fencing features rigid vertical and horizontal wires welded at each junction, creating a stiffer panel. Chain link is better for high-traffic or long-term use, while welded wire is an excellent option for lightweight containment and clean visual appeal.

Sandbag-anchored panels are perfect for quick setups or areas where digging isn't allowed. For long-term projects or high-wind areas, driven panels offer more stability. Our team can help you choose the best fit for your project and property.

Yes, our temporary fencing is built to handle wind, rain, and snow, even on uneven terrain. We've installed fencing across various North Carolina and South Carolina job sites, events, and properties. When stronger support is needed, we recommend driven panels to resist shifting and tipping.

Residential Gate FAQs

We have various residential gates to suit your property needs, including swing, slide, cantilever, egress, and estate gates. Whether you need a simple entry gate or a beautiful driveway gate, we have options that fit your style, security, and budget.

The right gate depends on your needs. A swing gate is ideal if you're looking for a simple, traditional entrance. We recommend slide or cantilever gates for properties with limited space or requiring a sliding option. Our team at Easter Fencing can guide you in selecting the perfect gate style based on your property's layout, security needs, and design preferences.

Our gates are designed for long-lasting durability. Maintenance requirements may vary depending on the material (such as aluminum, steel, or wood). Still, with proper care, your gate can last for many years. We offer PVC-coated gates and other weather-resistant finishes to ensure your gate can withstand North Carolina and South Carolina's climate.

Commercial Gate FAQs

At Easter Fencing, we provide various commercial gate solutions to suit your business's needs, including swing, slide, cantilever, and egress gates. Each gate type offers security, convenience, and durability for businesses of all sizes.
