Residential Fencing Solutions
From cedar privacy fences to ornamental iron and automated entry gates, McIntyre Fencing installs every project with our own crews and never subcontracts the work. Over 35 years of combined experience goes into every fence we build across central Georgia.
Your Home Deserves a Fence Built to Last
McIntyre Fencing is a family owned and operated company based in Griffin, Georgia. Every residential fence we install is handled entirely by our own experienced crews. We never subcontract, which means you get consistent quality, clear communication, and a finished product that reflects the care we put into every post, rail, and picket. Whether you need privacy screening, pet containment, pool safety enclosures, or simply want to define your property line with style, we have the materials and expertise to make it happen.
Wood Fencing
Wood remains the most versatile residential fencing material, and McIntyre Fencing offers a full range of styles to suit any property. Choose from traditional privacy panels, classic picket designs, shadowbox construction for airflow and partial screening, or our popular arched picture frame style for a more refined appearance.
We work with both cedar and pressure-treated lumber, and every installation is built to hold up against Georgia weather. Our team also provides professional fence staining and sealing services, both for newly installed fences and for existing fences that need a refresh.
- Privacy, picket, shadowbox & arched picture frame styles
- Cedar and pressure-treated wood options
- Post & rail configurations available
- Professional staining and sealing services included
Vinyl Fencing
Vinyl fencing is the go-to choice for homeowners who want a clean, polished look without the ongoing upkeep. Unlike wood, vinyl will not rot, warp, split, or attract termites. It never needs to be painted or stained, which makes it one of the most cost-effective options over the life of the fence.
McIntyre Fencing installs vinyl privacy panels, picket fences, and concave-top designs in white and a selection of other colors. Multiple height options let you match the fence to your exact needs, whether you are enclosing a pool, creating a private backyard retreat, or adding a decorative border to your front yard.
- Privacy, picket, and concave top styles
- Virtually maintenance-free material
- White and additional color options
- Multiple height configurations
Chain Link Fencing
Chain link is one of the most cost-effective fencing solutions for residential properties, and it requires almost zero maintenance once installed. Standard galvanized chain link provides reliable containment and boundary definition without obscuring your view of the yard or surrounding landscape.
For homeowners who want a more finished appearance, we offer black and brown vinyl-coated chain link that blends into the scenery. Privacy slats are also available in a variety of colors, giving you the screening benefits of a solid fence at a fraction of the cost.
- Galvanized and vinyl-coated (black, brown) options
- Practically maintenance-free once installed
- Privacy slats available in multiple colors
- Open mesh preserves yard views and airflow
Ornamental Iron & Aluminum
Ornamental fencing brings a distinguished, upscale look to any residential property. McIntyre Fencing is an authorized installer of Ameristar brand ornamental products, available in both steel and aluminum. Steel delivers maximum strength for security-focused installations, while aluminum offers the same elegant appearance with lighter weight and natural rust resistance.
Choose from 2-rail and 3-rail configurations with either spear top or flat top pickets. Multiple height options accommodate everything from decorative front yard borders to full-height pool enclosures that meet local safety codes. Our crew can also rack panels along slopes and uneven terrain for a seamless, professional finish.
- Ameristar brand steel and aluminum products
- 2-rail, 3-rail, spear top, and flat top designs
- Multiple heights for any application
- Rack-ready panels for sloped terrain
Farm & Rail Fencing
Rural and semi-rural properties across central Georgia rely on farm and rail fencing for everything from horse pastures to simple property line markers. McIntyre Fencing installs split rail, 3-rail, 4-rail, and 5-rail configurations, with or without wire backing for added containment.
Farm fencing is built for durability over long stretches of terrain. Whether you are containing livestock, establishing a horse fence perimeter, or simply want the rustic charm of a rail fence along your driveway, our crew will set every post deep and square so the finished product holds up for years.
- Split rail, 3-rail, 4-rail, and 5-rail options
- With or without wire backing for containment
- Horse fence, livestock, and property boundary uses
- Built for long runs across varied terrain
Automated Entry Gates
An automated entry gate adds convenience, security, and curb appeal to your property all at once. McIntyre Fencing installs both slide gates and swing gates for residential driveways, with the option of solar-powered operators for locations where running electrical service is impractical.
Whether you prefer a simple manual swing gate or a fully automated system with remote access, we will match the gate design and material to your existing fence for a cohesive look. Solar-powered gate operators are an increasingly popular choice for rural properties and long driveways where trenching for electrical wire would be costly.

- Solar-powered operators available
- Manual and fully automated systems
- Matched to existing fence style and material

Residential Fencing FAQ
What should I know before scheduling a fence installation?
Start by identifying the purpose of your fence, whether it is privacy, pet containment, pool safety, or curb appeal. Check your local county codes and HOA restrictions for height and material requirements. Have a clear idea of your preferred style, quality level, and project timeline before requesting an estimate.
Why do fence installation prices vary between contractors?
Pricing differences come down to material quality, crew size, and whether the contractor carries proper insurance and bonding. A lower bid may mean thinner materials, fewer crew members, or gaps in coverage that could leave you liable if something goes wrong on your property.
How long does a residential fence last?
With proper maintenance, most residential fences last between 10 and 25 years. The exact lifespan depends on the material chosen, local weather conditions, and how consistently the fence is maintained over time.
What is the difference between vinyl and wood fencing?
Vinyl fencing is virtually maintenance-free and will not rot, warp, or require painting. Wood fencing offers a classic, natural look and can be stained to match your property, but it does require periodic sealing and upkeep to maintain its appearance and structural integrity.
How should I care for a new wood fence?
Apply a waterproof seal the day after your new fence is installed. This protects the wood from moisture absorption and extends the life of the fence significantly. Reapply sealant every two to three years depending on sun exposure and weather.
Why is chain link fencing so popular for residential use?
Chain link remains one of the most popular residential fence choices because it is cost effective, practically maintenance free, and does not obscure the view of your yard or landscaping. Adding vinyl-coated mesh or privacy slats gives you extra options for color and screening.
Are there any tips I should follow after my fence is installed?
Avoid shaking or leaning on fence posts for the first 24 to 48 hours while the concrete sets. Confirm that post depths meet your county and HOA requirements. Keep sprinklers pointed away from wood fencing, and trim vegetation that grows against the fence line to prevent moisture damage.
