Wood fencing can be installed in more than just a picket style. These fences come in a variety of styles, including a board on board fence, privacy fence, over scalloped and under scalloped fence options and more. ## Types of Wood Fences Wood fencing is extremely cost-effective and one of the most popular types of fences due to the versatility of wood. At Andrew-Thomas Contractors, we have a plethora of different styles of wood fences and different types of wood for your fence. Whether you are looking for a cedar fence or a traditional white picket fence, we can install it for you. ### Solid Board Wood Fence Solid board fencing, or a wood privacy fence is one of the most popular six foot types of wood fences installed. Solid board wooden fences provide your backyard with the privacy you need. A solid board fence is one of the most versatile and sturdy wood fences you could have installed. ### Spaced Picket Wood Fence When you think of a true American home, often a white picket fence comes to mind. Picket fences can be installed at multiple heights in multiple styles. Picket fences are the most popular four foot fence installed on residential properties. Our picket fences can also be designed with unique, personalized decorative posts or post caps. ### Board-on-Board (Shadow Box) Fence Board-on-board fencing is typically installed at the six foot height. Board-on-board fencing is the most "neighbor friendly" as it does not have a "bad" side to it. Both sides look the same creating a more welcoming style for both parties on either side of the fence. Shadowbox fencing is a semi-private fence which allows for privacy but not total privacy like a solid board fence. ### Horizontal Wood Fence Horizontal fencing has become increasingly popular in recent years. This style offers a contemporary, modern aesthetic while still providing the privacy and durability of traditional wood fencing. ### Over and Under Scalloped Fence Scalloped fences add a decorative touch to the classic privacy fence, with the top rail shaped in a curved pattern. Both over-scalloped and under-scalloped options are available. ## Why Choose Andrew-Thomas for Wood Fence Installation? - Over 18 years of local experience installing wood fences in the Denver Metro area - Knowledge of Colorado-specific wood types and treatments that hold up to local climate - Proper post-setting techniques suited to Colorado soil conditions - No deposit required - payment due only after project completion - One-year warranty on workmanship and materials - Year-round installation including winter months ## Contact Phone: 303-434-7926 Free estimates available 7 days a week, 7 am to 8 pm. --- # Vinyl Fence Denver - Vinyl White Picket Fencing by AT Contractors URL: https://at-contractors.com/fencing/vinyl-fencing/ ## Vinyl Fencing in Denver At Andrew-Thomas Contractors in Denver, we offer an extensive collection of vinyl fencing options in multiple designs and colors.

You are protecting assets, defining perimeters, managing access, and in many cases, meeting compliance requirements that carry real consequences if they are not handled correctly. Andrew-Thomas Contractors is a locally owned Denver commercial fencing company that has been installing and repairing fences across the Denver Metro area since 2006. Every person on our team has hands-on fence installation experience in Colorado - not in another state, not in a training program, but here, in this climate, in this soil, on properties like yours. We install commercial fencing for warehouses, retail centers, office parks, multi-family properties, schools, HOAs, industrial yards, construction sites, and more. We work year-round, including through Colorado winters. We do not take shortcuts, on materials, on installation methods, or on the process from start to finish. ## Colorado-Specific Expertise That Translates to Stronger Commercial Installations Colorado's climate creates real challenges for fencing. Freeze-thaw cycles put stress on posts and footings that simply do not exist in more temperate climates. UV exposure at Denver's elevation accelerates material degradation in ways that national product specs do not always account for. Soil conditions across the Denver Metro area vary considerably, and what works for post setting in one neighborhood may not be appropriate two miles away. We've been working through these conditions since 2006. We know which materials hold up here and which ones create maintenance problems down the road. We know how deep commercial posts need to be set for structural integrity under heavy gate use. We know what proper concrete work looks like for a perimeter security fence that is expected to perform for years without adjustment. Large national providers and big-box contractors often bring general fencing knowledge to Denver without this Colorado-specific depth. When something goes wrong with a commercial installation, it is usually because someone skipped a step that the local conditions demanded. ## Types of Commercial Fencing We Install in Denver ### Chain Link Commercial Fencing Chain link is one of the most practical and cost-effective commercial fencing solutions available. We install galvanized chain link and vinyl-coated chain link for commercial applications. Chain link is well-suited for warehouses, industrial yards, storage facilities, equipment compounds, and construction site perimeters. ### Ornamental and Wrought Iron Fencing Ornamental and wrought iron fencing offers strong perimeter protection with a professional appearance that suits commercial properties where aesthetics matter as much as security. Retail centers, office parks, schools, government facilities, and HOA common areas are common applications. ### Wood Commercial Privacy Fencing Wood fencing serves a practical role in commercial applications where privacy or screening is the primary goal. Dumpster enclosures, service area screening, employee break area separation, and multi-family property boundaries are among the most common commercial uses. ### Vinyl and PVC Commercial Fencing Vinyl fencing offers a clean, low-maintenance option for commercial properties where long-term appearance and minimal upkeep are priorities. Office parks, commercial developments, and mixed-use properties are well-suited to vinyl fencing. ### Industrial and Perimeter Security Fencing For properties where perimeter protection is the primary requirement, we install heavy-duty industrial fencing solutions designed for warehouses, manufacturing facilities, equipment yards, and construction sites. ### Commercial Gates and Access Solutions We design and install commercial gate systems including swing gates, double swing gates, roll gates, cantilever gates, and steel frame gates. Steel frame gates are a particularly good option for high-use commercial applications because of their durability and lower long-term maintenance requirements. ## Commercial Properties and Industries We Serve We regularly serve warehouses and distribution centers, manufacturing and industrial facilities, retail centers and commercial properties, office parks and corporate campuses, schools and educational facilities, multi-family and apartment complexes, HOAs and community spaces, construction sites, and government and municipal properties. ## How Our Commercial Fence Installation Process Works ### Step 1 - Site Evaluation and Security Assessment Every commercial fencing project starts with an on-site consultation. We come to the property, assess the perimeter, review access point requirements, evaluate site conditions, and discuss your security and functional priorities. By the time we leave the site visit, you should have a clear picture of what the project involves and what your options are. ### Step 2 - Material Selection, Design, and Approval We develop a recommendation based on your property type, security needs, budget, and Colorado-specific performance factors. We walk you through the options and explain the reasoning behind our recommendations. Once satisfied with the plan, we move to a digital approval process that documents the project scope clearly before any scheduling is confirmed. ### Step 3 - Scheduling and Installation Once the project is approved, we work with you to establish an installation timeline that fits your operational schedule. You will receive an email notification the day before installation begins confirming the schedule. Job sites are kept clean throughout installation and fully cleaned up upon completion. ### Step 4 - Final Walkthrough, Warranty, and Ongoing Service When installation is complete, we walk the project with you before any payment is due. Payment is due only after you are satisfied with the completed project. We stand behind our work with a one-year warranty on both workmanship and materials. ## No Deposit Required on Most Commercial Fencing Projects For most projects, Andrew-Thomas Contractors does not require an upfront deposit. Payment is due only after your project is complete and you are satisfied with the result. This is how we've operated since 2006. ## Year-Round Commercial Fence Installation in Denver, Including Winter Andrew-Thomas Contractors installs and repairs commercial fencing year-round across the Denver Metro area, including through the winter months when most competitors scale back or stop scheduling new installations entirely. ## Denver Zoning, Permitting, and HOA Compliance for Commercial Fencing Commercial fencing in Denver is subject to city and county zoning regulations, height restrictions, and in some cases, permit requirements. We're familiar with Denver's zoning and building standards as they apply to commercial fencing projects. We have experience working with HOA guidelines on commercial and mixed-use properties. ## Commercial Fencing FAQs **What type of commercial fencing is best for industrial properties?** For most industrial applications, galvanized chain link is the practical starting point. For higher-security perimeters, ornamental steel or heavy-duty industrial fencing may be more appropriate. The right answer depends on your specific security requirements, site conditions, and long-term maintenance expectations. **How deep are commercial fence posts set in Colorado?** Post depth for commercial fencing depends on post height, fence type, load expectations, and site-specific soil conditions. Commercial installations, particularly those supporting heavy gates or perimeter security fencing, require deeper post setting and proper concrete work. **Can you install commercial fencing during winter in Denver?** Yes. We install commercial fencing year-round across the Denver Metro area, including through the winter months. **Do you require a deposit for commercial fencing projects?** No. We do not require an upfront deposit on commercial fencing projects. Payment is due only after the project is completed and you are satisfied with the result. **Do you handle commercial gate installation and repair?** Yes. We install and repair swing gates, double swing gates, roll gates, cantilever gates, and steel frame gates for commercial properties. **What warranty do you offer on commercial fence installations?** We provide a one-year warranty on both workmanship and materials on all fence installations. **Do you work with HOAs and property management companies?** Yes. We work with HOA guidelines as provided by the property owner or manager. ## Client Testimonials "Andrew-Thomas Contractors finished our metal fence to make an enclosure around our patio. The work was completed about a week after we made the contract. They matched the existing fence perfectly. Diego and Isaac were so conscientious and detail-oriented in all they did. It is beautiful! We could not be happier." - Linda Sapp "Thanks for getting to our fence promptly. The installers were amazing. We had a lot of demolition with the previous fence and a small change from our estimate. Both items were addressed by Diego and his assistant seamlessly. The fence transformed a 70-year-old home into something quite nice and current." - Vernon Lewis "Kyle, Joseph, and the team of installers made this process very pleasant. From the first meeting for evaluation/on-the-spot quote, to the completed fence installation, I was very impressed! The level of customer service was the best I've experienced since before the pandemic." - Marcie Rhysling ## Contact Phone: 303-434-7926 Email: sales@at-contractors.com Office Hours: Monday-Sunday, 7am - 8pm --- # Denver Stair Railings Installation - Stair Railings Denver CO URL: https://at-contractors.com/denver-fencing-services/hand-rails/ ## Denver Stair Railings Hand rails are becoming more popular nowadays - not only as a safety feature but to add curb appeal to your home.

Andrew-Thomas Contractors is a licensed fence and driveway contractor serving Denver CO and its surrounding areas with high-quality driveway gates and full gate systems. Andrew-Thomas Contractors always gets permits as needed and uses the highest quality materials. Whether you need a standard driveway gate, an automatic gate, or a full gate system, Andrew-Thomas is here to help. Servicing both repairs and new installations year-round, you can contact Andrew-Thomas Contractors for a free estimate. ## Types of Driveway Gates We Install Most driveway gates start at 8 feet wide, with options up to 40 feet depending on the material. ### Chain Link Gates Chain link gates are budget-friendly and tough, especially if you need a larger gate. They're low-maintenance and hold up well, even in rough weather, making them a popular choice. ### Wood Gates For a classic look, wood gates add curb appeal and warmth. Gates wider than 8 feet need a steel frame and posts to keep them secure. While wood may require some upkeep, it gives your property timeless charm. ### Metal Ornamental Gates Ornamental metal gates come pre-made in various styles with sturdy hinges that enhance durability and add a stylish, lasting finish to your driveway. ## Driveway Gate Installation Once you pick your gate, we'll handle everything from ordering materials to installation. During the summer, lead times can stretch, but winter installations usually finish within two weeks. Gate Openers: While we don't install openers, most gates can be retrofitted (except wood frames). We mainly install double-swing gates for added security and also offer cantilever gates for larger commercial setups. ## Types of Driveway Gates and Their Uses ### Automatic Driveway Gates The most popular type of driveway gate - automatic driveway gates open automatically when you approach them. They are often equipped with sensors that can detect movement, either from a person or something larger like a car or truck. Automatic gate systems are the most convenient type to have. ### Manual Driveway Gates Manual driveway gates don't come with automatic gate openers, requiring you to physically open them. Manual gates are common for pedestrian entrances, though many prefer a steel driveway gate with an automatic section for vehicles and a manual section for pedestrians. ## Gate Types by Property ### Gates For Residential Properties Driveway gates for residential properties are the most versatile. Factors to consider include security and accessibility - how secure you want the gate, whether you want hands-free access, whether the gate should open for cars only or also for pedestrians, and safety features for children or pets. ### Gates For Commercial Properties Commercial properties prioritize security over design, though both can be achieved. The most secure automatic gate systems often have a sleek, minimalistic design combined with security features such as an intercom for communication, or locks from keypads to sensors to card readers. ### Rural Farm Gates Steel driveway gates for rural farms should be both secure and safe for livestock. Sturdier materials ensure the driveway gate lasts. ### Gates For Mountain Properties Mountain property gates may be limited by terrain and environment in terms of size and opening action, but there are still many accessories and gate systems available. ## Gate Materials ### Wooden Driveway Gates Wood driveway gates can be a beautiful piece of art, especially for residential property. However, wood can be heavier than other materials and may degrade over time unless maintained. ### Wrought Iron Gates Steel driveway gates crafted from wrought iron are exceptionally durable, able to withstand all kinds of harsh climates and conditions. Wrought iron driveway gates help curate a distinct aesthetic with powder-coated finishes that remain stylish and durable. ## Benefits of Driveway Gates - Increased Security and Privacy: Driveway gates create a secure boundary, making it harder for unwanted visitors to enter. - Convenience with Automatic Gates: Opens automatically as soon as you approach, especially useful for busy days. - Improved Curb Appeal: A well-designed gate adds instant curb appeal and can attract potential buyers. - Increased Property Value: A sturdy, attractive gate shows attention to detail, making the property more appealing. - Low-Maintenance Options: With durable materials, many gates are designed to endure Denver's weather, requiring minimal upkeep. ## FAQs for Driveway Gates **How do I determine the type and size of driveway gate I need?** Our staff is here to help you decide on the perfect driveway gate. Depending on the material, driveway gates can range in width from 8 feet to 40 feet. **What is the installation timeline?** Installation can sometimes be completed within two weeks during the winter. Summer timelines may be longer due to demand. **Do you install gate openers?** While we don't install openers, most gates can be retrofitted with them (except wood frames). **What warranty do you provide?** We provide a one-year warranty on workmanship and materials. ## Contact Phone: 303-434-7926 Email: sales@at-contractors.com Office Hours: Monday-Sunday, 7am - 8pm --- # Safety Bollards Denver | Safety Barrier Installation Denver CO URL: https://at-contractors.com/safety-bollards/ ## Safety Bollards Installed in Denver When it comes to decreasing accidents and protecting people, safety bollards are high-visibility barriers that help to increase awareness and provide physical barriers meant to help protect people, property, and products.

Marking and Drilling the Installation Site: We start by marking the location and core drilling a hole that is 2 inches wider than the bollard base. 2. Excavating the Hole: Using professional equipment, we excavate to the proper depth, going below the frost line when necessary. 3. Placing the Bollard: We position the bollard in the ground, verify it's perfectly level, and pour wet concrete around it. 4. Filling for Strength: We completely fill the bollard tube with concrete, with the top shaped into a dome to facilitate water runoff. 5. Curing: We allow the concrete to cure for 2-3 days. Andrew-Thomas Contractors offers free estimates, free land inspections, and year-round installation service. ## Bollard Installation Cost The cost of safety bollard installation typically ranges from $350 to $550 per bollard, depending on factors such as the diameter of the bollard.

In order to improve safety and reduce accidents, they are crucial. **What types of safety bollards can be installed?** Architectural, concrete, flexible, plastic, retractable, security, and light-equipped safety bollards are all available. **Do you offer free estimates?** Yes, Andrew-Thomas Contractors offers free estimates and free property inspections. **Can you paint the bollards and add reflective tape?** Yes, we can paint bollards in safety yellow and add reflective tape at the top for enhanced visibility and safety. **How long does it take to install bollards?** The installation time depends on several factors including the number of bollards, their size, depth, whether they need to be painted, and the type of surface.

We also had the decrepit chain-link gate accessing our property from the alley replaced. While it took a full eight weeks from the time we accepted the estimate, it was well worth the wait. Kyle was very responsive and helpful with all of our questions and ensured that locates were completed accurately for the project. Further, Jose and Ricardo were friendly, professional, and meticulous with their work. We are very satisfied customers! ### Dylan Dolezal This is an amazing built fence. The Andrew-Thomas Contractors were very easy to work with. They are knowledgeable and do not beat around the bush or take the sale over the top. Competitive pricing, great options, and no BS. The fence crew that came out were top notch too. Jose has been doing this for 28 years and was very kind in asking me my preference on certain things such as door closing etc, and even offered alternative options. Not to mention he built an amazing fence in 2 days. Highly recommend Andrew-Thomas Contractors and the fencing professionals they use. ### Patty Fowles Had to wait a couple months for work to begin, but they kept me informed, gave me a start date, showed up as promised and did an excellent job. Jose was great to work with and turned out a wonderful finished product. Kyle kept me informed as to which days and times they would be out due to weather conditions. Very satisfied customer! ### Candace Grosz After reviewing bids from several fencing companies, we hired Andrew-Thomas Contractors to replace an old split rail fence around our backyard. Three of our neighbors then joined in to include their backyards as well hoping to complete all the fencing replacements at the same time. From the start of the process working with the A/T estimator, to the office scheduler, and finally to the install crew, everyone was friendly, helpful, respectful, courteous, and extremely professional. All four families are very happy with how the project progressed and with the appearance of our new fences in addition to the six gates that were also installed. It is worth noting that their pricing was competitive and fair and they were the only company we interviewed that did not have an upcharge to use a credit card. ### Kelly Boyle (Safety Bollards) We reached out to Andrew Thomas Contractors as we needed two safety bollards installed around our A/C unit as the construction crew across the alley kept bumping into it. AT was super responsive and the owner indicated the project we needed could likely be done for less than their project minimum if we found a handyman to do the work. I very much appreciated the honesty. They were super communicative via automated emails in scheduling and quickly responded to any direct requests. They arrived within their time window and the crew was friendly and professional and finished the work in less time than they originally estimated. Great work and nice to have a positive customer service experience all the way around. ### Osei and Amy May We had a fence put up around our entire property, after many months of planning. We had a pretty extensive project that first required lots of grading work, and a retaining wall. Joe was really great about being in communication with the concrete team so that the two parts of the project were done swiftly and with minimal disruption to neighbors. The fence went up really quickly, and they finished up and cleaned up while we were out of the house. I was extremely surprised at how well they cleaned up - it was like they had never even been there at all. They were also extremely considerate and respectful of working with our neighbors during the process as well. I would absolutely recommend Andrew-Thomas Contractors. ### Rama I can't be happier that we decided to go with Andrew Thomas Contractors. We got 3 estimates from different fence companies to replace our aging 240 linear ft fence. Andrew Thomas Contractors estimate was $1300 less than the other companies plus they were highly recommended by a coworker. The estimator listened to what we wanted and was helpful in deciding which fence would be good for us. The work started on Monday morning and they were done by Tuesday afternoon, which is amazing for such a big job. At one point I counted 10 workers in the yard! The workers were polite and respectful and they worked incredibly hard on hot days in the sun. At the end of the job they even filled in some holes in the yard with dirt, fixed the landscaping that was affected and swept our driveway clean of sawdust. The fence turned out just how we wanted it. It looks fantastic. It's straight, level and the 2 gates installed function perfectly. I highly recommend Andrew Thomas Contractors. Communication was great, price was honest, craftsmanship was excellent. ### Miriam Akselrod Kyle responded quickly to my request for an estimate. He was professional and answered all my questions. Jose and his crew did an amazing job and I am so pleased with the finished fence. I have a large yard and they completed removing the old fence and installing the new fence in three days. ### Bart Przybyl I hired Andrew-Thomas Contractors to replace our old fence with a new red cedar fence. The estimator Joseph was on time and had a lot of great input on what we should consider for the new fence. I got the estimate a couple of days later and it was quite a bit less than the two other local fence companies that we had come out. The work was completed 4 weeks later and it looks great. We're happy with the quality of the fence and the crew did a good job. They showed up on time each day and worked a full day. They used high-quality lumber and the gate hardware is very robust. I think this fence will last a long time. I'd highly recommend Andrew-Thomas Contractors. ### R E The crew was quick and efficient. Removed old falling down fence and put up the new one all in one afternoon. Our neighbors have chickens and the coop sat right against the fence. They took the time to catch chickens that escaped and even fixed the coop so the chickens couldn't keep escaping. Great professional service. Would recommend. ### Lisa Avram Andrew Thomas Contractors quoted me significantly less than the other bids I received to remove my old fence and put up a gorgeous new horizontal cedar fence with 3 gates. I first want to mention that the initial contact I had with the estimator was awesome - he not only showed up on time for a 2:00 appointment, but was EARLY. Not only that, but he spoke to me like I was a human, giving me choices and options and listening to what I wanted/needed. I emailed and called with what might seem like silly questions and they were responsive and responded without making me feel silly at all. The team that came to the house was awesome. They were polite and professional and completed the work within the time frame specified. When everything was completed, one of the team members did a walk-through with me to show me how the gates latched and to see if I had any other questions. The end result is that I now have a gorgeous horizontal fence that I am no longer worried my dog will knock over and I'm not the neighbor with the ugly fence anymore! ## Service Area Serving the entire Denver Metro area including all neighborhoods and zip codes throughout Denver, Arvada, Aurora, Boulder, Broomfield, Centennial, Commerce City, Englewood, Evans, Federal Heights, Highlands Ranch, Lafayette, Lakewood, Littleton, Lone Tree, Louisville, Northglenn, Thornton, Westminster, and Wheat Ridge. ## Contact Phone: 303-434-7926 Email: sales@at-contractors.com Office Hours: Monday-Sunday, 7am - 8pm --- # Frequently Asked Questions About Fence Installation in Denver URL: https://at-contractors.com/faq/ ## Frequently Asked Questions **Do you have warranties?** Most of our fences have warranties. Warranties vary per type of fence and manufacturers, please contact us about your desired fence installation and we can provide you the warranty information on that product. **How long have you been in business?** We have been in business since 2006. **What is the estimated number of fences you have installed in the Denver area?** After 16 years as a fence contractor in Denver we have installed thousands of fences in the Denver area. **What is your customer satisfaction rate?** Our satisfaction rate is closer to 99% because we address any reasonable complaints to make sure the customer is happy with their fence. **Is your team licensed?** There is no licensing available in Colorado for fencing contractors. **What kind of training does your team have?** Our team is trained on all new products per the manufacturer's recommendations that we install and has decades of experience installing fences. **Does your team specialize in fencing installation and repair?** Yes we specialize in fencing, it's all we do day in and out. **Do you have a license number?** License numbers vary by city. We have tons of them throughout the metro area. Denver specifically does not issue licenses for fence companies as it's not needed for permitting. **Do you have insurance?** We are insured in accordance with local requirements. **Where do you get materials from?** Materials are sourced from local suppliers. It varies by availability and cost. **How can a customer prepare for a fence project?** A customer can prepare for a fence installation by clearing all obstacles from both sides of the fence and making sure we have access to a water spigot and power for our extension cords. **How long will it take to start the project after approving an estimate?** That really depends on the project and time of year but we try to stay around 2-4 weeks if material is available. **How long does a fence project typically take?** 2-4 days average for a standard perimeter fence. **How far out are you on fence installations?** Again depends, but we try to stay near 2-4 weeks. **What type of wood do you use for wood fences?** Always western red cedar for every component of the fence. **Do you use screws?** No, screws take much longer and provide no significant improvement. We use ring shank nails (exterior grade) which bite like screws once the wood shrinks. **How tall can a backyard fence be?** In almost every circumstance it's 6 feet for a residential fence. The customer may apply for a variance with the city/county for anything over 6 feet. **Do you install wrought iron?** We install ornamental steel which has all but eliminated on-site welded "wrought iron." It's cheaper, easier to install and can be repaired much more easily than welded wrought iron. The coating is better also which keeps rust at bay. **What do you do if landscaping (dirt, mulch, rock, etc.) is pushing the fence over from the bottom?** We can incorporate a retaining wall with the fence that will help hold back landscaping. **What type of latch do you install on the gate?** We use an industry standard anti-sag latch that can be operated and locked from both sides of the fence. **We have a large gate that is sagging, what can you do to prevent that?** We can install single or double steel frame gates up to 16 feet in width. ## Contact Phone: 303-434-7926 Email: sales@at-contractors.com Office Hours: Monday-Sunday, 7am - 8pm --- # Andrew Thomas Contractors Areas Served | Fence Contractors URL: https://at-contractors.com/areas-served/ ## Andrew-Thomas Contractors Areas Served Andrew-Thomas Contractors is locally owned and operated providing full service fence installation and fence repair.

If you want your fence to last in such an environment, you need to pick the correct material. ## Wood Fencing for Rustic Charm and Resilience The adaptability and classic good looks of wood make it a popular choice for fences. Having said that, not all woods do well in Denver's weather. Choose long-lasting wood types like cedar, which is naturally pest and rot resistant. Cedar fences have a lifespan of 15 to 30 years and can endure arid climates and high temperatures. Wood is great for homes and businesses alike since it can be made more resilient with the right sealing and staining. ## Chain Link Fencing for Low Maintenance and Strength The longevity and ease of maintenance of chain link fences are well-known. Chain link fences are durable enough to resist the Colorado climate, which is known for its dramatic temperature swings, without bending, breaking, or discoloring. They offer security without compromising visibility, making them ideal for business sites. Denver residents can rely on chain link fences because, with appropriate installation, they can last for decades. ## Vinyl Fencing for Weather Resistance and Versatility Homeowners in Denver who are looking for durable, low-maintenance fence material may consider vinyl. The dry environment in Denver is perfect for vinyl fences since they do not decay, warp, or splinter like traditional wood fences. If you want your vinyl to be colorfast and not fade in hot weather, be sure to get high-quality vinyl. Vinyl fences, when built correctly with high-quality materials, can maintain their beauty and resist the harsh Denver weather for more than 30 years. ## Wrought Iron Fencing for Elegance and Longevity Elegant and long-lasting, wrought iron fences are a favorite among Denver residents and business owners alike. Although wrought iron can rust easily, it can be protected from the environment with the right powder coating. As a long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing way to enclose your property, wrought iron fences are a great choice for Denver's environment. The durability of Denver wrought iron fences is guaranteed by routine maintenance including painting and rust removal. ## Considerations for Denver Fence Installation ### Permits Denver has strict building rules that all fence installations must follow. Although not all fences need permits, it is important to verify the rules, particularly for fences in the front or backyard. ### Fence Height The standard height for backyard fences in Denver is 6 feet, set by the city's zoning regulations. Permits may be needed for taller fences. ### Property Line According to Denver zoning laws, property line fences must be constructed at least 6 inches away from any public sidewalk. ### Climate Considerations The weather in Denver can shorten or lengthen the life of various fence materials. Cedar fences typically survive between 15 and 30 years, although metal fences, such as wrought iron or chain link, can remain for decades. Vinyl fences are resistant to the elements for more than 30 years. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Do I need a permit to install a fence in Denver?** To comply with Denver's building rules, permits are typically required for fence installations. A zoning permit might not be required for fences that are four feet or shorter, according to Denver Zoning Code 10.5.5. **What is the maximum height for a backyard fence?** In Denver, a 6-foot fence is typically considered the maximum height for privacy purposes in the rear. A fence with a height greater than 6 feet may be defined as a "structure," necessitating additional authorization. **Can my fence be installed on the property line?** Installing a fence less than six inches from a public walkway is a violation of Denver's zoning regulations. **How long will a fence installation last in Denver's harsh climate?** How long a fence lasts is conditional on its materials, design, weather, traffic, and upkeep. Fences made of wood (such as cedar) often last for 15 to 30 years. Metal fences, such as wrought iron or chain link, can endure for decades. Vinyl fences have a lifespan of more than 30 years. **What is a "rock charge" in fence installation?** If obstacles, like rock beds, make it difficult to reach the ideal post depth, a "rock charge" may be applied. The use of power tools or extra labor to achieve the ideal post depth is covered by this charge. **How can I prepare for a fence project?** Remove any obstructions from either side of the fence, and make sure there is a water faucet and electricity available for extension cords. ## Contact Phone: 303-434-7926 | Email: sales@at-contractors.com | Office Hours: Mon-Sun 7am-8pm --- # Denver Fence Repair Tips by Andrew-Thomas Contractors URL: https://at-contractors.com/denver-fence-repair-guide/ *Author: Kyle Fletcher, Owner and CEO, Andrew-Thomas Contractors* ## Stop Wasting Money: The Expert Guide to Calculating When Denver Fence Repair Becomes Replacement ## Solving Denver's Fence Repair Dilemma If you live in Denver, you know how tough the weather can be on a fence. A strong gust of wind, a heavy snow season, or years of sun exposure can leave it warped, cracked, or leaning. When that happens, most homeowners face the same question: Should I repair it, or is it time to replace it? With more than 18 years of experience helping Denver-area homeowners, Andrew-Thomas Contractors has seen just about every fence problem imaginable. ## The Homeowner's Dilemma - Repair or Replace? (The 20-50% Rule) **The 20-50% Rule:** - Repair: If the cost to repair your fence is less than 20% of the replacement cost, fixing it is usually the smarter move. - Replace: If repairs reach 40-50% of the cost of a new fence, investing in replacement is generally the better long-term choice. **Type of damage matters too:** Acute Damage (Repair): Localized, recent issues like a single broken post, a few cracked pickets, or a wobbly gate. If the rest of your fence is solid, targeted repairs can add years to its life. Chronic Damage (Replace): Widespread rot, severe warping across multiple sections, deep rust, or several leaning posts. These are signs that the fence's overall structure is failing and replacement is the safer, more durable option. ## When Fence Repair Is the Smart, Cost-Effective Solution Your fence is a good candidate for repair when: - Your fence is relatively new (under 5-10 years old) - Damage is limited to a small area (less than 20% of the total fence) - The core structure - posts and rails - are still strong and stable ### Repair Tips by Material - Wood: Cracked or missing pickets, loose rails, or a gate that's not closing right. These are classic repair jobs. - Vinyl/Composite: One or two damaged panels, minor cracks, or cosmetic fading can often be patched or replaced seamlessly. - Metal/Iron: Isolated rust spots, a bent rail, or a loose post. Targeted repairs and a fresh coat of paint can restore both function and appearance. ### Common Fence Repairs in Denver Wood Fences: Replacing individual pickets or boards; reattaching or reinforcing loose rails; fixing or upgrading gate hardware; treating and sealing exposed wood. Vinyl/Composite Fences: Swapping out cracked or broken panels; cleaning away mildew and stains; minor patching for chips or holes. Metal/Iron Fences: Sanding and repainting rust spots; welding minor cracks or breaks; straightening bent sections. ### The ATC Repair Process 1. Thorough Inspection: We start with a detailed look at your fence, identifying not just what's broken, but why it happened. 2. Transparent Estimate: You get a clear, written estimate with options. 3. Quality Repair: Our experienced team handles every fix with care, using the best materials and proven techniques. 4. Follow-Up: We check back after the job to ensure you're completely satisfied and share maintenance tips. "Our clients appreciate that we treat their property like our own. We communicate every step, so there are no surprises, just results." - Kyle Fletcher, Owner and CEO ## When Fence Replacement Is the Best Investment ### Fence Age and Lifespan - Wood Fences: 15-20 years - Vinyl Fences: 25+ years If your fence is approaching or has passed these benchmarks, repairs may only provide a temporary fix. ### Structural Failures That Signal Replacement - Post Failure: Leaning or rotting posts mean the foundation is compromised. In Denver, we see this a lot after freeze-thaw cycles. - Widespread Warping or Rot: When more than a few sections are affected, the structural integrity is gone. - Multiple Failing Sections: If you're fixing something new every year, it's time to consider a fresh start. ### The Hidden Costs of Patchwork Repairs It's tempting to keep fixing one section at a time, but this can lead to: a mismatched appearance; ongoing maintenance headaches; lower property value; higher long-term costs. ## Denver-Specific Fence Problems and Solutions ### Frost Heave - Denver's Biggest Fence Enemy Denver's freeze-thaw cycles are notorious for shifting fence posts and causing misalignment. We set posts deeper than the standard, using more concrete for stability. When we replace a fence, we use techniques proven to withstand Denver winters. ### High-Altitude UV Damage and Weathering Denver's intense sunlight can fade and crack both wood and vinyl much faster than in other places. Watch for fading, graying, or splintering wood, and brittle or cracked vinyl panels. If the damage is mostly cosmetic, a professional cleaning or stain may do the trick. If the material is brittle or breaking, it's likely time for replacement. ### Wind and Storm Damage Denver's winds can take out multiple fence sections at once. If more than 20% of your fence is damaged, you may be eligible for insurance coverage.

This guide offers helpful advice to make sure your fencing project goes off without a hitch. ## Understanding the Contractor Landscape It is the responsibility of the fencing contractor to supervise the whole installation procedure, from the excavation of foundations to the precise positioning of posts. Think about the contractor's track record, portfolio, communication style, and dedication to completing projects on schedule before hiring them. ## Factors to Keep in Mind **Reputation:** Ask around for referrals and read reviews online to get a feel for their reputation. **Portfolio:** Check the contractor's previous work to ensure it matches your project goals. **Communication:** Select a contractor who always places a premium on open communication. **Commitment to Timelines:** Check the contractor's track record of delivering on reasonable project deadlines. **Clear and Open Pricing:** Choose a contractor who gives you honest and thorough estimates. ## Local Recommendations and Online Reviews A contractor's cost, dependability, and general performance can be better understood with the help of feedback from homeowners who have experienced comparable jobs. Review sites provide objective feedback on a contractor's work. ## Obtaining Multiple Estimates It is a good idea to get various estimates for your fencing project. This will give you a better idea of the typical cost and allow you to compare communication styles and work quality of different contractors. ## Dealing with Possible Difficulties The time and money needed to erect a fence could increase or decrease depending on how many complications crop up. Talk to the contractor about planning permissions, obstacles, site slopes, and accessibility. This proactive approach fosters transparency and management of expectations. ## Asking the Right Questions Ask contractors about utility lines, zoning rules, installation specifics, permits, and project timelines to ensure a transparent and efficient partnership. ## Why Andrew-Thomas Contractors Stand Out **Proven Reputation:** Andrew-Thomas Contractors has an excellent reputation and a history of successful projects in the Denver, CO area. Their years of experience and dedication have earned them numerous testimonials and referrals. **Transparent Communication:** They make it a point to keep clients informed about manufacturing, construction, and material costs throughout the project. **Dedication to Timeliness:** Andrew-Thomas Contractors recognizes the need to maintain project timeliness. Their reliability in meeting delivery deadlines reflects how seriously they take customer satisfaction. **Fair and Transparent Pricing:** Honest and upfront pricing quotes so that clients know exactly what they're getting into. **Wide Range of Projects:** Their varied portfolio showcases adaptability and skill, making them an excellent choice for any fencing project, whether residential or commercial. **Customer-Centric Approach:** Kindness, tidiness, and consideration for one's own and others' possessions are highly valued. **Trusted Local Expertise:** Andrew-Thomas Contractors is well-versed in the specific climate and regulations of Denver, having worked as a fence installation company for years in the area. **Comprehensive Services:** Andrew-Thomas Contractors isn't only a fence company; they also fix fences, install driveway gates, build handrails, and install safety bollards. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Do I need a permit for fence installation in Denver?** Yes, fence installation is regulated by building codes in Denver and most other towns. Andrew-Thomas Contractors can help you get the permissions you need. **How does Denver's climate affect the durability of my fence?** The materials, design, weather, use, and upkeep of a fence all play a role in how long it lasts. Depending on the material, Andrew-Thomas Contractors can tell you how long something is likely to last. **How do Andrew-Thomas Contractors deal with unanticipated difficulties?** Open communication about obstacles, such as rocky terrain, and possible solutions is a hallmark of Andrew-Thomas Contractors. An extra "rock charge" to pay for goods or labor can be necessary in certain situations. **Can someone else be present when I have my fence installed?** You are not required to be present, but it is highly preferred. It's wise to remain reachable by phone in case of unexpected problems. ## Contact Phone: 303-434-7926 | Email: sales@at-contractors.com | Office Hours: Mon-Sun 7am-8pm --- # Denver Commercial Fencing Guide for HOAs and Managers URL: https://at-contractors.com/denver-commercial-fencing-hoa-property-manager-guide/ *Author: Kyle Fletcher, Owner and CEO, Andrew-Thomas Contractors* ## What to Look for When Hiring a Denver Commercial Fence Company: An HOA and Property Manager's Guide Hiring a fence contractor for a commercial property or HOA community is a different kind of decision than hiring one for your own backyard. When you're an HOA board member, a community manager, or a commercial property manager, you are not just choosing a fence. You're making a recommendation that affects residents, tenants, ownership groups, and compliance authorities. If the project goes wrong, the consequences land on you. ## Why Commercial and HOA Fencing Projects Require a Different Level of Vetting When a residential fence goes wrong, the homeowner deals with it. When a commercial or HOA fence goes wrong, the professional who recommended the contractor answers for it. That's a fundamentally different accountability structure. Denver's regulatory environment adds another layer of complexity. Local zoning rules govern fence height, materials, placement relative to property lines and sidewalks, and proximity to utilities. HOA communities add their own approval processes, design standards, and resident notification requirements on top of that. ## Start Here: Proven Local Experience in Colorado's Conditions Before evaluating anything else — price, availability, or portfolio size — ask one foundational question: has this contractor actually installed commercial fences in Colorado, and do they understand what that requires? Denver's climate creates installation demands that out-of-state and big-box contractors routinely underestimate. The freeze-thaw cycles that run through a Colorado winter exert significant pressure on posts and footings. Clay-heavy soils shift with moisture and temperature changes. Wind exposure and UV intensity affect material performance over time. When evaluating any commercial fence contractor, ask for specific Denver-area commercial or HOA project examples. General portfolio claims are not sufficient. Andrew-Thomas Contractors has been in the Denver Metro market since 2006. ## Look for a Contractor with a Clear, Documented Process In a commercial or HOA project, it's a risk to have an informal process. HOA boards need to communicate timelines to residents. Property managers need to report to ownership groups. A reliable commercial fence contractor should be able to walk you through a defined process before any work begins. At Andrew-Thomas Contractors, the process follows four documented steps: initial consultation; digital approval and scheduling; installation with pre-project email notification; and ongoing service and maintenance commitment. ## Payment Terms Tell You More Than You Think Large upfront deposit requirements shift all financial exposure to the client before a single post is set. For the majority of commercial fence installations, a deposit is not required with Andrew-Thomas Contractors. Payment is due only after the project is completed to your satisfaction. ## Year-Round Availability Matters More Than Most Buyers Realize Commercial and HOA fencing needs do not follow a seasonal calendar. A gate failure in January is a security issue regardless of the temperature. Many Denver area fence contractors reduce or halt operations in colder months — for commercial property managers and HOA boards, this introduces timeline risk. Winter installation in Colorado is entirely feasible when done correctly. Andrew-Thomas Contractors has been doing it for nearly two decades. ## Denver Zoning and HOA Compliance: Your Contractor Needs to Know This Cold Denver's zoning rules establish requirements around fence height, materials, placement, and setback distances from sidewalks and property lines. Properties in historic districts, landmark areas, or floodplains carry additional requirements. HOA communities layer their own approval processes and design standards on top. Andrew-Thomas Contractors follows HOA guidelines as provided by the client and assists with any questions that come up during the HOA process. ## Written Warranties Are Non-Negotiable for Commercial and HOA Projects Look for clear, written coverage of both workmanship and materials, with defined terms and a documented process for submitting service requests. Andrew-Thomas Contractors provides a one-year warranty on both workmanship and materials. ## Red Flags to Watch for When Evaluating a Commercial Fence Contractor - Vague or incomplete estimates with no itemized scope of work - Large upfront deposit requirements before work begins - No verifiable commercial or HOA project experience in the Denver Metro area - Unclear or evasive answers about permitting and compliance processes - No written warranty, or only verbal assurances about workmanship quality - Slow, inconsistent, or unprofessional communication during the quoting phase - Seasonal-only availability that cannot support year-round commercial needs - No defined project timeline, process structure, or communication plan ## Questions to Ask Any Denver Commercial Fence Contractor Before Hiring 1. Can you provide recent examples of commercial or HOA fencing projects completed in the Denver Metro area? 2. How do you handle permitting and HOA approval documentation? 3. What does your warranty cover, and what is the process for a service request after installation? 4. What's the payment structure, and when is final payment due? 5. How do you manage scheduling, and how will you communicate with us throughout the project? 6. Do you offer ongoing repair and maintenance services after installation is complete? 7. Have you completed installations during Colorado winters, and how do you approach cold-weather projects? ## What the Right Commercial Fence Contractor Looks Like - Verified, Colorado-specific field experience with commercial and HOA projects - A transparent, documented process with clear communication at every stage - No upfront deposit requirement, with payment tied to completed satisfaction - Year-round operational availability that supports commercial timelines - Demonstrated knowledge of Denver zoning and HOA compliance requirements - Written warranty coverage on both workmanship and materials - Ongoing service and repair capability beyond the initial installation ## Contact Phone: 303-434-7926 | Email: sales@at-contractors.com | Office Hours: Mon-Sun 7am-8pm --- # Arvada Fence Installation: Privacy, Pets & Long-Term Value URL: https://at-contractors.com/arvada-fence-installation-privacy-pets-long-term-value/ *Author: Kyle Fletcher, Owner and CEO, Andrew-Thomas Contractors* ## The Smart Homeowner's Guide to Fencing in Arvada: Privacy, Pets, and Long-Term Value Rather than sorting through a generic list of fence materials that could apply anywhere in the country, this article is organized around what Arvada homeowners actually need: practical, Colorado-specific guidance on how to choose a fence that solves the right problem, holds up in local conditions, and is installed correctly from the start. Andrew-Thomas Contractors has been doing this work in the Denver Metro area since 2006. ## Start with the Outcome, Not the Material The four outcomes that drive most fencing decisions in Arvada are privacy, pet and family safety, curb appeal, and low maintenance. Most homeowners prioritize one or two of these above the rest, and that priority should guide every decision that follows. A fence should solve a problem and define a space. When it does both well, and when it is installed correctly, it holds its value for years. When it is chosen by trend or lowest price without considering local conditions, it tends to need attention well before it should. ## How Colorado's Climate Affects Every Fence in Arvada **Freeze-thaw cycles** are one of the biggest factors. Colorado's winters fluctuate enough that the ground freezes, thaws, and shifts throughout the season. Over time, that movement puts stress on posts that are not set deep enough or secured with proper footings. This is one of the primary reasons fences lean, bow, or fail prematurely in this region. **Expansive soils** are another local reality. Much of the Denver Metro area sits on clay-heavy soil that expands when wet and contracts when dry. Post depth and footing standards need to account for that movement in ways that national installation guidelines often underestimate. **High UV exposure** at elevation accelerates the degradation of stains, paint, and some vinyl compounds faster than homeowners often expect. A cedar fence that might go five or six years between sealings in a milder climate may need attention sooner here. **Wind load** is worth considering in open Arvada neighborhoods, particularly in newer developments where mature tree cover is limited. Solid-panel fences catch wind rather than letting it pass through, which puts more stress on posts during high-wind events. ## Why Post Setting Matters More Than Material Choice The long-term durability of your fence has more to do with what happens below the ground than what you see above it. Post depth and concrete footing quality are the primary determinants of how long a fence lasts in Colorado soil. A mid-grade cedar board set in a properly poured concrete footing at the right depth for Colorado's frost line will outlast a premium board on a shallow, underpoured post. Every time. When evaluating any fencing contractor, ask: How deep do you set your posts, and does that depth account for Colorado's frost line? Do you pour concrete footings on all posts, or only on gate posts? Have you installed this type of fence in Colorado before? ## The Best Fence for Privacy in Arvada ### Full-Panel Cedar Privacy Fencing Cedar is the most common privacy choice in Arvada. It is naturally resistant to moisture and rot, takes stain well, and has a warm, natural appearance. When properly sealed and maintained, cedar holds up well in Colorado's UV-intense climate. Plan on staining or sealing every two to four years. ### Board-on-Board Fencing Board-on-board construction overlaps boards so there is no direct sightline through the fence, even with some airflow between panels. This is a good choice for homeowners who want maximum visual privacy without the solid-wall effect of a full-panel design. ### Vinyl Privacy Panels Vinyl requires less upkeep than wood, but Colorado's wide temperature swings cause vinyl to expand and contract more than in milder climates. Over time, that movement can affect panel fit and fastener integrity. Vinyl is a legitimate option for homeowners who want minimal upkeep. ### Height and HOA Considerations Most Arvada homeowners can install up to 6 feet of fence in rear and side yards. Front yard fences are generally limited to 4 feet. HOA guidelines in communities like Candelas and other planned developments may be more restrictive on height, material, or color. ## The Best Fence for Dogs and Active Yards in Arvada For smaller dogs, gap spacing between pickets or rails is a real consideration. A solid privacy panel eliminates the issue entirely. For dogs that dig, options include concrete footing along the base of the fence line, L-footer mesh extensions that run underground, or panels extended deeper into the ground. ### Gate Hardware: The Most Overlooked Element Gates are the highest-use element of any fence, and they are also the most common failure point. Self-closing and self-latching mechanisms are worth the additional investment for pet-safe yards. Gate posts also need to be reinforced beyond what standard fence posts require. Steel frame gate upgrades are worth considering for heavy-use situations. ## Fence Styles That Enhance Curb Appeal in Arvada Olde Town Arvada tends toward classic picket and ornamental styles that suit its older home stock. Newer developments like Candelas and Five Parks skew toward horizontal board designs and clean-line privacy fences that complement contemporary architecture. Details like post caps and decorative top treatments add a finished quality that makes a fence look intentional rather than utilitarian. ## What "Low Maintenance" Actually Means in Colorado - Cedar and wood: Plan on staining or sealing every two to four years. UV exposure at altitude accelerates the timeline. - Vinyl: Minimal routine maintenance. Colorado's temperature range means more expansion and contraction. Color holds well but is not completely immune to UV fading. - Ornamental iron and aluminum: Durable and long-lived with minimal upkeep. Aluminum does not rust. ## Arvada Fence Permits and HOA Guidelines Most fence installations in Arvada require a permit from the City of Arvada. Front yard fences are limited to 4 feet in height, while rear and side yard fences typically allow up to 6 feet. HOA guidelines layer on top of city requirements and vary significantly by community. ## Winter Fence Installation in Arvada Andrew-Thomas Contractors installs fences year-round in Arvada, including through Colorado winters. Winter fence installation does require technique adjustments - drilling through frozen ground takes different equipment, and concrete mixing and curing is managed differently in cold temperatures. However, the installation standard itself does not change. There is also a practical scheduling advantage to winter installation: spring and summer are the busiest seasons, and backlog during peak season can push timelines out significantly. Homeowners who are flexible on timing often find that winter scheduling means faster project completion. ## Common Mistakes Arvada Homeowners Make When Choosing a Fence - Choosing purely on price. The lowest bid almost always reflects shortcuts: shallower posts, thinner concrete footings, lower-grade hardware. - Ignoring Colorado-specific soil and climate factors. Local experience is a practical advantage. - Not verifying post-setting standards before hiring. Ask every contractor how they set posts and what their standard depth is for your fence type. - Underestimating gate hardware quality requirements. ## Contact Phone: 303-434-7926 | Email: sales@at-contractors.com | Office Hours: Mon-Sun 7am-8pm --- # Denver Winter Fence Installation Experts | Andrew-Thomas URL: https://at-contractors.com/denver-fence-installation-winter-advantage/ *Author: Kyle Fletcher, Owner and CEO, Andrew-Thomas Contractors* ## The Winter Advantage: Your Expert Guide to Year-Round Fence Installation in the Denver Metro Many Denver homeowners assume fence installation should wait until spring. In reality, winter projects often mean faster service, less yard disruption, and a fence ready to enjoy come spring. Andrew-Thomas Contractors has spent over 18 years mastering year-round fence installation in Denver, navigating local soils, weather, and permitting with ease. ## Myths About Winter Fence Installation, Busted **Myth 1: "Frozen Ground Makes Fence Installation Impossible"** Frozen ground doesn't stop us. With the right tools like frost augers and heavy-duty digging bars, we dig right through the surface layer and anchor all posts securely. What really matters is the depth — when a fence is installed at the right depth, it will stay strong in both winter and summer. **Myth 2: "Winter Installs Are Less Durable"** Fence durability depends on proper installation, not the season. We use concrete additives and proven installation techniques designed for cold-weather curing. In fact, the lower humidity of winter can actually help certain wood types settle more evenly, reducing the risk of warping. Every fence comes with a year-round warranty. **Myth 3: "Contractors Don't Work in Winter"** Many Denver fencing companies slow down or close in winter, but we don't. Our crews are ready, schedules are flexible, and we're available Monday through Saturday to keep your project on track. **Myth 4: "Concrete Won't Cure in the Cold"** We use specialized concrete mixes and safe, non-toxic accelerators that ensure a strong, stable set, even when it's freezing outside. The real secret is in the preparation and the mix. ## Why Install a Fence in Winter? The Benefits for Denver Homeowners **Skip the Spring Rush:** Spring is the busiest time of year for fence projects, which often means long wait times and fully-booked contractors. By choosing a winter installation, you'll enjoy minimal delays and have your project finished before the rush begins. **Preserve Your Landscaping:** Winter installation causes minimal disruption to your yard. With dormant grass and flower beds and firm ground, there's less mud, fewer ruts, and a cleaner job site. **Enjoy by Spring:** With winter installation, your new fence is ready to use by spring — no waiting, no construction disruption, just a finished, secure yard to enjoy. **Get Dedicated Attention:** During winter, a lighter schedule can make the process even smoother for you, with flexible timing and consistently meticulous workmanship. **Potential Cost Advantage:** The off-season sometimes allows for more flexible pricing on materials or scheduling. ## Our 4-Step Process (Year-Round) 1.

HOA communities layer their own design standards and approval processes on top of municipal requirements. Before beginning any commercial or HOA fence project in Denver, project managers should: - Verify current Denver Zoning Code requirements for the specific property zone - Review any HOA Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&Rs) for material, color, and height requirements - Determine whether the property falls within a historic landmark area requiring Landmark Preservation Board approval - Contact the Utility Notification Center of Colorado (UNCC) to locate underground utilities before digging - Determine whether a permit is required (most commercial fence projects require permits) ## Working with Andrew-Thomas Contractors on HOA and Commercial Projects Andrew-Thomas Contractors has been navigating Denver's commercial and HOA regulatory environment since 2006. Our approach to HOA and commercial projects includes: - Following HOA guidelines as provided by the homeowner or board - Assisting clients with questions during the HOA approval process - Handling permit applications and compliance documentation - Year-round availability to meet compliance deadlines regardless of season - No upfront deposit required for most commercial projects; payment due upon project completion - Written warranty on all workmanship and materials ## Common Fencing Types for HOA and Commercial Properties in Denver - Chain link: Practical, cost-effective security fencing for industrial and commercial perimeters - Ornamental steel: Provides visual appeal for office parks, retail centers, and HOA communities - Wood privacy: Used in HOA residential communities subject to HOA material and color approvals - Vinyl: Low-maintenance option for HOA communities with specific maintenance requirements - Custom commercial gates: Sliding, swing, or automated entry systems for commercial access control ## Key Considerations Before You Build 1. HOA approval documentation: Most HOAs require written approval before installation begins. We help clients prepare complete applications with specifications, materials, and design renderings. 2. Neighbor notification: Many HOA bylaws and some municipal codes require neighbor notification before fence installation. 3. Permit timing: Denver building permits for commercial fencing can take several weeks. Factor this into project timelines. 4. Material sourcing lead times: Ornamental steel and custom commercial materials may require 2-4 week lead times. 5. Seasonal scheduling: We install year-round, so commercial and HOA projects with compliance deadlines are not weather-dependent. ## Contact Phone: 303-434-7926 | Email: sales@at-contractors.com | Office Hours: Mon-Sun 7am-8pm --- # Denver Fencing Design Trends 2026 URL: https://at-contractors.com/denver-fencing-design-trends-2026/ ## Denver Fencing Design Trends 2026 Denver's residential neighborhoods are seeing significant shifts in fence design preferences heading into 2026. These trends reflect both aesthetic evolution and practical responses to Colorado's climate and neighborhood character. ## Horizontal Plank Fencing Horizontal slat fencing has become increasingly popular in Denver Metro neighborhoods, particularly in areas with contemporary and modern architecture. The horizontal orientation creates a sense of visual width, complements geometric home designs, and provides a clean, architectural appearance that stands out from traditional vertical picket styles. Andrew-Thomas Contractors installs horizontal cedar and composite fencing throughout the Denver Metro area. Cedar horizontal fencing requires proper sealing and maintenance in Colorado's high-UV environment. ## Mixed Material Fencing Homeowners in neighborhoods like Highlands, Cherry Creek, and newer developments are combining wood, metal, and masonry elements in their fencing designs. Common combinations include cedar panels within powder-coated steel frames, ornamental iron accents alongside wood privacy sections, and concrete or stone posts with wood or vinyl infill panels. Mixed material designs are well-suited to Denver's climate: metal structural elements provide wind resistance and longevity, while natural wood or composite infill provides privacy and visual warmth. ## Dark Neutral Color Palettes Contemporary Denver fence designs increasingly favor dark stains and finishes - charcoal, espresso, deep brown, and black metal - that complement both modern architecture and Denver's natural landscape backdrop. Dark finishes on cedar fencing also tend to show UV weathering less visibly than lighter stains, reducing the perception of maintenance needs between resealing cycles. ## Privacy with Airflow Board-on-board designs that provide privacy while allowing some air circulation are popular in Denver's windier neighborhoods and hillside properties. These designs reduce wind load on the fence structure while maintaining visual privacy - an important consideration given Denver's seasonal wind events. ## Low-Maintenance Material Options Denver homeowners increasingly prioritize low-maintenance materials in response to Colorado's demanding climate. Vinyl, aluminum, and composite materials that resist UV fading, moisture damage, and temperature-related cracking are gaining ground over traditional wood in neighborhoods where maintenance convenience outweighs the preference for natural materials. ## What Doesn't Change: Post Setting and Installation Quality Regardless of design trends, the fundamentals that determine fence longevity in Colorado don't change. Proper post depth below the frost line, quality concrete footings, and corrosion-resistant hardware are the foundations of any fence that performs well through Denver's freeze-thaw cycles and high-UV exposure. Andrew-Thomas Contractors installs fences in any style and material combination, with the same installation standards applied regardless of the design trend. ## Contact Phone: 303-434-7926 | Email: sales@at-contractors.com | Office Hours: Mon-Sun 7am-8pm --- # Why Safety Fencing Is a Must for Families: Denver Child and Pet Safety Guide URL: https://at-contractors.com/denver-fence-installation-child-pet-safety/ ## Why Safety Fencing Is a Must for Families: Denver Child and Pet Safety Guide When looking for a trusted Denver fencing company, families want a solution that balances safety, privacy, and long-term value. A properly installed fence is one of the most effective ways to create a safe, contained outdoor environment for children and pets. ## The Case for a Safety-First Fence A fence that fails its safety function creates more problems than it solves. For Denver families, the relevant safety scenarios are straightforward: keeping young children from wandering into traffic or neighboring properties, and keeping dogs contained in the yard without the ability to jump, squeeze through gaps, or dig under the perimeter. Both goals require attention to the same installation fundamentals: post depth, panel construction, gate hardware, and gap control. ## Fence Height for Child and Pet Safety For families in Denver, 6-foot privacy fencing provides effective containment for most dogs and creates a boundary that young children cannot easily climb. Front yard fences are limited to 4 feet under Denver zoning regulations; rear and side yards allow up to 6 feet, with HOA restrictions potentially applying in planned communities. For confident jumping dogs (certain breeds can clear 5 and even 6 feet), additional height or anti-jump design features may be necessary. This is a conversation Andrew-Thomas Contractors has regularly and can advise on based on the specific breed and property layout. ## Gap Control For small dogs and young children, the spacing between fence pickets or panels is a real consideration. A standard 6-foot privacy fence panel with no picket gaps eliminates the issue entirely. For decorative or ornamental fences, gap spacing should be reviewed against the size of the smallest dog or child that needs to be contained. ## Gate Hardware: The Critical Detail Gates are the most common containment failure point for both children and pets. Self-closing and self-latching gate hardware eliminates the risk of a gate left open after use. Key considerations for family safety gates: - Self-closing spring mechanisms rated for the gate's weight and frequency of use - Self-latching hardware that closes and latches without manual engagement - Child-proof or double-action latch designs that require intentional action to open (important for toddlers) - Latch height positioned above child reach if young children are a primary concern - Dual locking capability (operable from both inside and outside) for adult convenience without compromising child containment Andrew-Thomas Contractors uses industry-standard anti-sag latches that can be operated and locked from both sides of the fence. For families with specific child-safety requirements, we discuss gate hardware options during the consultation. ## Dig Prevention Options For dogs that dig, options include: concrete footing poured along the base of the fence line; L-footer mesh extensions running underground and outward from the fence base; or panels extended deeper into the ground. The appropriate solution depends on the dog's behavior, fence style, and site conditions. ## Pool Fencing Safety Pool fencing in Denver is subject to both the International Residential Code and local requirements. Pool enclosures typically require minimum heights of 48-60 inches, self-closing/self-latching gates, and barrier designs that resist climbing. Andrew-Thomas Contractors installs ornamental and vinyl pool fencing that meets applicable safety and code requirements. ## Temporary Dog Run During Installation Andrew-Thomas Contractors can install a temporary 10x10 chain link dog run while your new fence is being installed to keep the hassle to a minimum and maintain pet containment throughout the project. ## Contact Phone: 303-434-7926 | Email: sales@at-contractors.com | Office Hours: Mon-Sun 7am-8pm --- # Sustainable Fencing Options for Denver Homeowners URL: https://at-contractors.com/sustainable-fencing-denver/ ## Sustainable Fencing Options for Denver Homeowners Denver homeowners are increasingly asking about sustainable fencing materials and installation practices. Whether the motivation is reducing environmental impact, choosing materials that last longer and require fewer replacements, or supporting local supply chains, there are practical options worth understanding. ## Western Red Cedar: A Sustainable Local Choice Andrew-Thomas Contractors uses western red cedar exclusively for all wood fence components. Cedar is sourced from managed North American forests, and its natural properties - rot resistance, pest resistance, and dimensional stability - make it a long-lasting choice that reduces the frequency of replacement compared to lower-grade wood species. A properly maintained cedar fence can last 20-30 years in Denver's climate. Longer-lived fences mean fewer replacements, less material consumption, and reduced installation impacts over time. ## Composite Fencing Composite fencing materials made from recycled wood fibers and recycled plastic content are an increasingly available option for Denver homeowners who want wood appearance with reduced maintenance requirements. Composites resist the UV degradation, moisture cycling, and dimensional movement that characterize Denver's climate, and many products use significant recycled content. The longevity of composite materials - often 25+ years with minimal maintenance - makes them a durable, low-replacement-frequency option. ## Aluminum Fencing Aluminum fencing is recyclable at end of life and requires no chemical treatments, stains, or sealants throughout its service life. Powder-coated aluminum resists Colorado's high UV environment and freeze-thaw cycles without rust, and the material can be recycled rather than landfilled at end of life. ## Vinyl Fencing High-quality vinyl fencing requires no chemical staining, painting, or sealing treatments over its lifetime. The absence of periodic chemical treatments is a meaningful environmental consideration for homeowners near gardens or water features. Vinyl's 30+ year lifespan reduces replacement frequency. ## Material Longevity as Sustainability Across all material types, the most sustainable fencing choice is the one installed correctly - with proper post depth, quality footings, and appropriate hardware - and maintained according to the material's requirements. A fence installed to last 25+ years has a fundamentally lower environmental footprint than an inexpensive fence installed incorrectly that requires replacement in 8-10 years. Andrew-Thomas Contractors' installation standards are designed for longevity: posts set below Colorado's frost line, concrete footings on all posts, ring shank nails for wood components, and corrosion-resistant hardware throughout. ## Responsible Waste and Site Management Andrew-Thomas Contractors removes and disposes of old fencing as part of fence replacement projects. We clean up thoroughly after installation - customers frequently comment that the job site looks cleaner than before we arrived. ## Contact Phone: 303-434-7926 | Email: sales@at-contractors.com | Office Hours: Mon-Sun 7am-8pm ---
