Fence Company Queens

Queens is the borough of the single-family home — Cape Cods in Flushing, Tudors in Forest Hills, brick colonials in Bayside, detached two-families in Astoria. More detached homes means more fences, and Queens keeps us busy with full perimeters, driveway gates, and backyard privacy jobs from the East River to the Nassau County line.

What Queens Fencing Looks Like

The typical Queens job is a full property perimeter: cedar or vinyl along the sides and rear, something sharper — ornamental iron or aluminum — across the front where the 4-foot height limit applies. Driveway gates are common here in a way they rarely are in Manhattan or brownstone Brooklyn; Queens lots actually fit cars. Corner lots are everywhere in the borough's grid, and they need the visibility clearances the zoning requires at intersections — we plan for that in the layout, not as an afterthought.

Queens also has real commercial fencing demand: auto shops and contractors along Northern Boulevard and the industrial pockets of Long Island City and Maspeth need security perimeters, and chain link with slide gates is the standard answer.

Forest Hills Gardens & Other Special Cases

Forest Hills deserves a special mention: the Forest Hills Gardens section is a private community with its own architectural review process on top of city rules. Exterior changes there — including fences — need Gardens approval, and the community favors traditional materials and profiles. We have worked within those guidelines and will tell you exactly what the review expects before you apply. Co-op and condo complexes across Queens (and there are many) add another layer: board approval and alteration agreements. We provide the drawings and specs boards ask for.

Queens Zoning & Permit Basics

The citywide rules apply: 4-foot front-yard maximum in most residential districts, 6 feet on sides and rear, and fences under 8 feet generally do not trigger a DOB building permit. But Queens lots have quirks — shared driveways, flag lots behind other houses, and easements that do not show up until you look. Our free site visit includes a careful look at all of it, and our 2026 cost guide gives realistic Queens pricing by material.
