Fencing, Gates & Privacy
Serving Greenport, the North Fork & Shelter Island, NY.
Privacy fences, gates, and screens built for the coast.
Overview
What’s involved
We build fences, gates, and privacy screens designed for coastal conditions and built to last. Options include wood and vinyl privacy fencing, picket and post-and-rail, custom gates, and decorative screens. We set posts properly with the right depth and concrete so your fence stays straight and secure through wind and freeze-thaw cycles. Beyond privacy, a well-built fence defines your yard, improves safety for kids and pets, and adds real curb appeal to your property.
Is it time?
When do you need it?
Homeowners add fencing for privacy from neighbors or the road, to enclose a yard for children and dogs, to secure a pool, or to block coastal wind. It is also a smart upgrade when an old fence is leaning, rotting, or falling apart. If you want a defined outdoor space or a custom gate that matches your home, this is the project.

Frequently asked questions
What fencing material lasts longest near the water?
Vinyl resists salt air and needs little upkeep, while cedar offers a natural look with periodic maintenance. We help you choose based on style, privacy needs, and budget.
Do you handle property lines and permits?
We help you locate property lines before we build and can advise on local requirements so your fence is placed correctly and avoids disputes.
Can you build a custom gate to match my fence?
Yes. We build custom wood and vinyl gates, including wider gates for vehicles and equipment, all matched to your fence and hardware.
