D & D Fence - Newport's Best Fencing Company
15 1/2 Vicksburg Pl, Newport, RI 2842
Business Overview
D & D Fence Co. Inc., located on Vicksburg Place in Newport, Rhode Island, has been locally owned and operated for over 45 years. Our mission is straightforward: provide a professionally installed fence using the best materials available and stand by our work. Every fence we build is custom-tailored to each job, from cedar wood and aluminum to chain-link and temporary fencing for residential and commercial properties. We maintain open communication with clients throughout the design and installation process to ensure every detail meets their needs. Many homes in historic Newport face unique fencing challenges, such as uneven coastal terrain, salty air that accelerates wear, and strict historic district guidelines. We address these issues by adapting foundations for slopes, using weatherproofing treatments to resist corrosion, and selecting materials that comply with local regulations. For example, a fence on Spring Street or near the Newport Cliff Walk requires careful planning to balance aesthetics and durability. Our team’s familiarity with neighborhoods like Bellevue Avenue, Thames Street, and the Fifth Ward means we understand the specific demands of properties close to the harbor or in wind-exposed areas. From repairs and painting to automatic gate installation, each project reflects our commitment to quality and neighborly service.
Question Answers
What fencing materials do you recommend for homes near the Newport waterfront to withstand salt air and humidity?
For properties close to the harbor or along the Cliff Walk, we often suggest aluminum or cedar wood with proper weatherproofing. Aluminum resists corrosion naturally, while cedar can be treated with sealants to handle moisture. We assess each site's exposure and recommend materials that will last in Newport's coastal climate.
How do you handle fence repairs for older properties in historic Newport neighborhoods?
Many homes in areas like the Point Section or on Broadway have aging wooden or chain-link fences that need partial replacement or reinforcement. We match existing styles and use materials that comply with local guidelines. Our team evaluates rot, rust, or gate issues and provides targeted repairs to extend the fence's life without altering the property's character.
Do you offer automatic gate installation for residential driveways off Bellevue Avenue?
Yes, we install automatic gates for homes on quieter streets or longer driveways. We handle wiring, sensor placement, and remote access setup. For properties near landmarks like the Newport Casino or Touro Park, we design gates that match the property's architecture while adding convenience and security.
