    Fence Installation in Centennial

    Perhaps you recently moved to one of Centennial’s established neighborhoods and are ready to add a fence to your new property, or maybe you have been in your home for years and the time has finally come to replace an aging fence or install one for the first time. Either way, choosing the right style, material, height, and placement for your specific property can feel like a lot to work through. It does not have to be.

    At Andrew-Thomas Contractors, we inspect your property prior to any digging and offer a free estimate on your new fence installation. We are familiar with Centennial’s soil conditions, HOA guidelines, and city permit requirements, and we are with you through the entire process from the first conversation to the finished fence.

    A properly installed fence should improve privacy, security, and curb appeal while standing up to Colorado’s climate conditions, including the freeze-thaw cycles, high UV exposure, and temperature swings that put real demands on fencing materials over time. We specialize in residential fence installation tailored to your property’s specific layout, soil conditions, HOA requirements, and daily use.

    Every fence installation project in Centennial is treated individually. No two properties are the same, and no two projects are handled the same way. For professional, trusted fence installers with nearly 20 years of Colorado experience, choose Andrew-Thomas Contractors.

    Fence Types We Install in Centennial

    Choosing the right fence for a Centennial property means weighing more than just appearance. Colorado’s climate puts real demands on fencing materials. High UV exposure, significant temperature swings, freeze-thaw soil movement, and periodic high winds all affect how a fence performs over time. We have been working in these conditions for over 20 years, and we use that experience to guide every material recommendation we make.

    Wood fencing

    Western red cedar is the most reliable wood fencing choice for Colorado's climate, and it is the material we most commonly recommend for Centennial homeowners who want the warmth and character of a natural wood fence. Cedar contains natural oils that resist decay, rot, and insect damage, and it holds up well under the temperature extremes and moisture variations common in this area. Softer woods like pine degrade significantly faster under Colorado conditions and are not a material we rely on for installations here.

    Cedar is available in privacy, semi-privacy, and picket styles, and it accepts stain and paint well if you want to match a specific color or finish your HOA requires. With proper installation and reasonable maintenance, a cedar fence in Centennial can last 15 to 20 years or more.

    Vinyl fencing

    Vinyl is an excellent low-maintenance option for Centennial homeowners who want a fence that holds its appearance over time without ongoing upkeep. It does not require painting or staining, resists fading under Colorado's intense UV exposure, and will not rot or splinter. These qualities make it a practical long-term choice in a climate that sees over 300 days of sunshine annually.

    Vinyl fences are popular in Centennial's HOA communities because they maintain a clean, consistent appearance that meets most association standards. Available in privacy, semi-privacy, and picket profiles, vinyl offers flexibility in both function and style.

    Chain link fencing

    Chain link is a durable, cost-effective fencing solution for property boundaries, pet containment, and utility areas. Under Centennial's fence regulations, chain link is permitted in back and side yards. Galvanized and vinyl-coated options are available, with vinyl coating providing additional weather resistance and a cleaner appearance.

    For larger properties where cost per linear foot is a meaningful factor, or for homeowners who need a practical containment solution without the visual weight of a solid privacy fence, chain link remains a dependable choice that we have installed throughout the Denver Metro area for decades.

    Ornamental Iron and Aluminum Fencing

    Ornamental iron and aluminum fencing offers the combination of security and visual appeal that works well in Centennial's established neighborhoods. Aluminum is particularly well suited to Colorado's climate because it does not corrode under the moisture and temperature fluctuations that affect heavier iron over time. It is also lighter, which reduces stress on posts and hardware across seasonal ground movement.

    Both styles are available in a range of heights and profiles, and they are frequently used in front yards where Centennial's regulations require fences to be at least 50 percent open. Ornamental aluminum and iron provide a finished, polished look that enhances curb appeal without blocking sight lines the way a solid privacy fence would.

    Fence Repair in Centennial

    Fences in Colorado take a beating over time. Freeze-thaw cycles shift posts. High winds stress panels. Storm damage breaks boards and bends sections. Gates sag after years of regular use. When something goes wrong with your fence, the first question is whether a repair makes sense or whether a section or the full fence has reached the end of its useful life.

    We give homeowners a straight answer on that question before any work begins. If a repair solves the problem, we say so. We do not recommend full replacements when targeted repairs are the right solution. That approach may not maximize our invoice, but it is the right way to work with homeowners who are making real decisions about their property.

    When we do complete repairs, we use matching materials whenever possible so the repaired section blends with the existing fence rather than standing out as a patch. We stock the same materials we install, which also means that if you want to expand your fence in the future, we can match what is already there.

    Common repair needs we handle throughout Centennial include:

    • Leaning or rotted posts, often caused by improper original installation depth or years of freeze-thaw pressure
    • Storm-damaged panels, boards, and rails
    • Sagging or misaligned gates and hardware failures
    • Sections shifted or lifted by ground movement
    • Partial replacements where one section has deteriorated while the rest of the fence remains sound


    No deposit is required for repair projects. You pay after the work is done and meets your expectations.

    Fencing in Centennial: What Homeowners Should Know About HOA and Permits

    Centennial is one of the more regulated fencing environments in the Denver Metro area. The city has its own permit requirements and height restrictions, and a significant portion of Centennial’s residential neighborhoods are governed by HOAs with rules that go beyond city code. Understanding both layers before your project begins saves time, avoids costly corrections, and keeps your project on schedule. We are familiar with Centennial’s regulatory environment and we help homeowners navigate it as part of our process.

    Centennial Fence Permit Requirements

    Most new fence installations in Centennial require a permit from the City of Centennial, as do replacements that involve changes to height, location, or materials.

    Front yard fences at or under 4 feet typically do not require a permit, but they must still comply with zoning regulations including the 50 percent open requirement for front yard fencing. Permits are generally processed in approximately five business days. Fences over 6 feet in height require a formal inspection upon completion.

    Installing without a required permit carries real consequences. Homeowners can face fines, code violation notices, mandatory removal or modification, and complications during a future property sale. We are licensed within the City of Centennial and understand the permitting process. If you are unsure whether your project requires a permit, that is a question we can help you work through before any work begins.

    Centennial Fence Height and Material Regulations

    Centennial enforces specific height limits based on where a fence is located on the property:

    • Front yard: 4 feet maximum, at least 50 percent open (picket, split rail, or wrought iron styles meet this requirement)
    • Back yard: 6 feet maximum
    • Side yard: 6 feet maximum
    • Corner lots: 3 feet within visibility triangles near intersections and driveways


    Approved materials for residential fences in Centennial include cedar, redwood, vinyl, composite, wrought iron, and ornamental metal. Chain link is permitted in back and side yards only. Prohibited materials in residential zones include barbed wire, electric fencing, plywood, and chicken wire.

    Pool fences have their own requirements. They must be at least 4 feet high with a self-closing, self-latching gate. If your property is in a designated floodplain, a separate Floodplain Development Permit may also be required.

    Posts must be set 24 to 30 inches below the frost line and anchored in concrete. This is a standard we follow on every installation, not a step we skip to reduce time on the job. Proper post depth is one of the most important factors in how long a fence performs in Colorado’s soil conditions.

    HOA Requirements in Centennial

    Centennial has a high concentration of HOA-governed neighborhoods, and many of those associations maintain fencing rules that are more specific than city code. HOA requirements may regulate fence style, material, color, height, gate placement, and in some cases the orientation of fence boards. These rules exist alongside city regulations, not in place of them, so your fence needs to comply with both. The most important step before any installation begins is securing written HOA approval. 

    We follow HOA guidelines as provided by the homeowner and are happy to assist with questions during the approval process. We have worked in many of Centennial’s governed communities to understand how these processes typically work and where homeowners most often run into difficulty.

    Why Centennial Homeowners Choose Andrew-Thomas Contractors

    There are a number of fencing companies serving the Centennial area. What sets us apart is not a claim we make about quality. It is a set of specific policies, practices, and experience-backed commitments that we have maintained since we started this company in 2006.

    We combine an old-school approach to craftsmanship with the newest products and installation methods available. That balance, practical experience alongside modern materials and techniques, is what a fence built to last in Colorado actually requires.

    Serving Centennial Neighborhoods and Surrounding Communities

    We have been working in Centennial and the surrounding Denver Metro area long enough to know the community well. That familiarity matters when it comes to material recommendations that fit the neighborhood, HOA guidelines that vary across governed communities, and style choices that complement the character of specific areas.

    From established neighborhoods near Arapahoe Road and the Willow Creek corridor to newer developments along Centennial’s eastern and southern edges, we serve homeowners across the full range of the city’s residential landscape. We also serve the communities immediately surrounding Centennial, including Highlands Ranch, Littleton, Englewood, and Greenwood Village, as part of our broader Denver Metro service area.

    We are locally based, which means fast response times and a team that is genuinely accessible. We are available seven days a week from 7 am to 8 pm. When you call or submit an estimate request, you are reaching a company that operates in your community, not a national provider routing your inquiry through a regional call center.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Fencing in Centennial

    How do I choose the right fence for my Centennial property?

    Start with the practical requirements: what your HOA allows, what Centennial’s height and material regulations permit for your specific yard location, and what purpose the fence needs to serve. From there, material selection comes down to performance and maintenance preferences. Cedar is a strong choice if you want the warmth of natural wood and are comfortable with periodic maintenance. Vinyl is a better fit if you want something that holds its appearance with minimal upkeep. Ornamental aluminum works well for front yards where Centennial’s open-style requirement applies and you want a finished, polished look. Chain link is practical for back and side yards where containment and cost efficiency matter more than aesthetics.

    We walk every homeowner through these decisions during the initial consultation at no cost. There is no pressure to decide during that conversation. The goal is to make sure you have the information you need to choose a fence you will be satisfied with for years.

    We do. Concrete behaves differently in cold temperatures and post-setting requires adjustments to account for frozen or near-frozen ground, but properly executed winter installations are fully sound. We have been installing fences through Colorado winters for over 20 years and understand how to manage the process correctly. Waiting until spring is not necessary when the crew doing the work knows how to handle the conditions.

    Lifespan depends on material and installation quality. Cedar installed with proper post depth and concrete footings typically lasts 15 to 20 years with reasonable maintenance. Vinyl and ornamental aluminum last significantly longer with minimal upkeep. The single most important factor is whether the fence was installed correctly to begin with. Post depth, concrete anchoring, and material selection specific to Colorado’s conditions have a greater impact on longevity than the product alone. That is why we do not take shortcuts on installation standards even when it would be faster to do so.

    In most HOA-governed neighborhoods in Centennial, yes. HOA rules often regulate fence style, color, material, height, and gate placement, and those rules exist alongside city regulations. Always secure written HOA approval before installation begins. Verbal confirmation or a general reading of your community guidelines is not a reliable substitute. We follow HOA guidelines as provided by the homeowner and are happy to help with questions during the approval process.

    No. We do not require any money upfront. Work begins, and payment is due only after the project is completed to your satisfaction. This has been our policy since we founded the company in 2006. You should not have to take a financial risk to get a fence built.
