Fence Company Manhattan

Manhattan fencing is a different trade. There are no sprawling backyards here — the work is townhouse areaways on the Upper East and West Sides, rooftop and terrace enclosures, restaurant corrals, and commercial perimeters in the far west and northern Manhattan. Everything is tighter, taller, more regulated, and more visible than anywhere else in the city. We do it all, and we do it with the paperwork Manhattan demands.

Townhouse Ironwork & Areaway Railings

The Upper East Side, Upper West Side, and Greenwich Village are lined with townhouses whose wrought iron areaway railings are as much a part of the architecture as the stoops. Much of this iron is 100+ years old and either failing or long gone. We restore original railings where they survive and fabricate faithful replacements where they do not — matching profiles, finials, and scrollwork to the building's era. Many of these blocks are landmarked, which means Landmarks Preservation Commission review; we provide the drawings, material specs, and historic documentation those applications require.

Rooftop & Terrace Enclosures

Rooftop fencing is Manhattan's unique specialty. Building codes, wind loads, and co-op board rules all shape what can go on a roof — and "what the neighbor did" is not a reliable guide. We install rooftop railings and enclosures engineered for the exposure: properly anchored, code-compliant heights, and materials that will not become projectiles in a nor'easter. Board approval is almost always required; we supply engineered drawings and specs so your alteration application moves instead of stalling.

Commercial & Construction Fencing

From restaurant sidewalk enclosures to construction site perimeters and commercial lot security, Manhattan's commercial fencing runs on schedules and permits. We install site fencing for contractors, chain link with windscreen for active sites, and permanent ornamental steel for commercial frontages. If your project needs DOB coordination or a site safety plan accommodation, bring us in early.

Manhattan's Rules Are the Strictest in the City

Landmark coverage is denser here than anywhere else. Co-op and condo board approvals add months if you are unprepared. Rooftop work triggers structural questions that ground-level fences never face. None of this is a reason not to build — it is a reason to work with a fence company that has navigated it before. Our 2026 cost guide covers typical ranges, and Manhattan jobs do run higher than outer-borough equivalents: access, logistics, and approvals all cost more here.
