First Place Fence - Rochester's Best Residential Fencing

Frost heave is a common issue in Rochester because of our cold winters and freeze-thaw cycles. We combat this by digging post holes below the frost line—typically 48 inches deep—and using concrete footings that anchor the posts securely. This method prevents the ground movement from pushing posts out of alignment. We also use pressure-treated lumber or galvanized steel for added durability against moisture and temperature changes.

Rochester’s humidity and UV exposure can cause fences to fade or discolor over time. We offer professional painting and staining services using high-quality, weather-resistant coatings. Our process includes cleaning the surface, applying a primer if needed, and then two coats of stain or paint. We also recommend semi-transparent stains that allow the wood grain to show while providing UV protection. For vinyl or metal fences, we use specialized paints that resist peeling and cracking.

Yes, we install automatic gates for residential driveways and walkways. We handle both swing and sliding gates with electric openers, keypads, remote controls, and safety sensors. Our installations comply with local codes and include proper wiring and grounding. We serve homes in areas like Brighton, Pittsford, and near the University of Rochester, ensuring the gate operates reliably through all seasons.
