Hopewell sits at the confluence of the Appomattox River, where the older residential blocks and industrial riverfront meet tight property lines and mature trees that have stood for decades. When a fence fails, leans, or needs repair in 23860, Richmond Fence Pros is the local crew that shows up the same day to assess and fix it right.
We have been serving Hopewell and the surrounding Richmond area since 2012. Homeowners call us because we work with the actual constraints of your lot: compact yards, shared fence lines, HOA rules in some neighborhoods, and the need to get the job done without tearing up what matters. We handle wood, vinyl, chain link, ornamental metal, gates, and everything in between. Our team is fully insured, and we are AFA Member Installers (American Fence Association). When you call (804) 409-8420, you reach the same crew that will do your work.
Fence Work in Hopewell (23860)
Hopewell's housing stock is a mix of early single-family homes on compact lots, many with shared or neighboring fence lines that have weathered decades of use. The terrain runs from level to gently sloped, with drainage patterns and soil conditions that affect how posts are set and how long materials last. Chain link and wood fences dominate the residential blocks, with vinyl becoming more common in newer neighborhoods. Gate hardware takes a beating in the humid climate, and wood pickets and rails can rot at the ground line if water pools around the posts or if concrete-set posts fail to shed water properly.
We have installed and repaired thousands of linear feet of fence in Hopewell and the Richmond area. We know which materials hold up, how to set posts so they stay true, and when a repair is the honest choice versus a full replacement. Storm damage, sagging gates, leaning sections, and rotted posts are our bread and butter. We also handle commercial and temporary fencing for contractors and property managers in the area, and our crews are insured for that work.

How a Fence Job Works in Hopewell
You call us at (804) 409-8420 or reach out online. We schedule a free on-site assessment at your property. We walk the fence line with you, look at the soil, the post condition, the gate hardware, and any damage. We talk about what you want (repair, replacement, new fence, gate work), what the local code allows, and what it costs. If you have an HOA, we note any architectural rules. We answer your questions straight.
Once you approve, we handle the work. Before we dig any post holes, we call 811 for a utility locate (required by Virginia law). We set posts in concrete or tamped earth depending on the soil and the fence type. We install rails, pickets, stringers, and gates square and plumb. For chain link, we tension the mesh and set the stretcher bar correctly so the fence doesn't sag. For wood, we use pressure-treated pine or cedar and install cap and trim to shed water. For vinyl, we work with the thermal expansion and contraction that comes with temperature swings. Gates get self-closing and self-latching hardware where needed, and we test every hinge and latch before we leave.
We haul away the old fence, debris, and scrap. We sweep and clean up your property. You get a final walkthrough, and we are done.
Fence costs in Hopewell depend on material, length, condition of the existing fence, and what you are trying to achieve. Chain link runs from $15 per linear foot for a basic residential install. Wood privacy fence starts at $25 per foot. Vinyl and PVC run from $36 per foot. Ornamental metal and aluminum are $40 per foot and up. Gate installation and repair start at $465. Automatic driveway gates begin at $2,800. Fence repair work (fixing sagging sections, replacing rotted posts, rehinging gates) starts at $440. A full fence replacement or removal runs from $2,300 depending on the square footage and the material being removed. We offer free damage assessments for storm work and free site quotes for commercial and temporary fencing. Call us at (804) 409-8420 for a free estimate on your project. We will give you a realistic price based on what we see on your property.
