Fences for West Chester, PA, from borough alleys to Brandywine pasture
Installation, replacement and repair across West Chester and the Chester County townships around it. We check your street's rules, file the permit and call PA One Call before we dig.
The rules change at the borough line. So does the ground.
Short answer: 76 FENCE West Chester installs, repairs and replaces residential, commercial and farm fences in West Chester, PA and the surrounding Chester County townships. We come out for a free on-site estimate, handle the permit, HOA paperwork and the PA One Call (811) request, and most residential installs take a day or two on site once materials arrive.
Fencing in West Chester, PA rarely looks the same from one street to the next. In the borough, the rear yard behind a brick twin may be narrow and open onto an alley. A mile out in West Goshen, every fence needs a zoning permit and front-yard fences must stay open and no taller than 4 feet. Along the Brandywine in East Bradford, riparian buffers and floodway limits shape where posts can go. And on the schist uplands, the auger often meets rock before it reaches depth.
That is why we start with the rules and the ground, then the look. Our West Chester fence permit guide covers the borough and each nearby township, and the service area pages explain what changes from the borough to the farm townships. When you are ready to compare options, browse fence materials and fence styles, read how we approach fence installation, or look over published fence cost ranges before your walkthrough.

Before you call
Which West Chester do you serve?
We serve West Chester, Pennsylvania: the Chester County borough and the townships around it, including West Goshen, East Goshen, Westtown, East Bradford, West Bradford, Thornbury, Birmingham and Pocopson, plus Exton, Downingtown, Chadds Ford and other nearby towns. If you are unsure whether your address is in our area, call or text 484-999-0965 to confirm your address.
Do I need a permit for a fence in West Chester, PA?
Usually, though the trigger depends on where you live. West Chester Borough requires a $50 zoning review for fences, West Goshen requires a zoning permit for every fence, and Westtown requires one for fences over 40 feet long or any pool enclosure. Rules change, so confirm with your municipality; when you hire 76 FENCE, we prepare and file the permit.
Are fence estimates free?
Yes. A member of our team visits your property, walks the fence line with you, talks through materials, height, gates and any township or HOA rules, and then prepares a written quote. There is no charge for the visit. You can book online or call or text 484-999-0965 to set a time.
How long does fence installation take?
The on-site work is short: a typical backyard fence goes in over a day or two after materials arrive, and a pool fence over one to three days. The longer part of the timeline is often permits, HOA approval and the PA One Call notice, which must be placed at least three business days before digging. Weather can also shift dates.
What fence materials do you install?
We install vinyl, pressure-treated pine and cedar, aluminum, ornamental steel, galvanized and black vinyl-coated chain link, composite and wire mesh farm fencing. Styles range from privacy, semi-privacy and picket to pool, dog, deer, horse, split rail and security fencing, along with walk gates, drive gates and automatic gates.
Do you offer fence financing?
Yes. Financing runs through Wisetack: projects from $500 to $25,000 can qualify for interest-free terms of up to 24 months, with offers from 0 to 35.9% APR depending on creditworthiness and subject to credit approval. If you would rather pay outright, we take ACH, debit, credit and cryptocurrency.
