If you’re considering adding new fencing to your yard, look no further than Plummer’s Contracting. We build wood and vinyl fences with great attention to detail and craftsmanship for privacy, to keep your children and pets in sight, and to mark property lines.

Here's what you need to know as you plan your fence installation near Lexington, KY:

  • Plan to paint or stain wood fences every 1 to 2 years to maintain them.
  • Vinyl fences withstand moisture and sun, and you can clean them off with a hose or pressure washer.
  • Cedar wood fences hold up well against insects and Central Kentucky weather.

For any fence repair work, we fix broken posts, boards, and panels on existing fences, and you receive a written quote before any work begins.

Deck Installation and Patio Installation

We build custom decks with wood or Trex® composite decking, allowing you to relax outside or entertain friends and family with a fun backyard barbecue or pool day. Our Plummer’s Contracting team also repairs and replaces older decks for better safety and aesthetics.

In addition to our custom deck work, our team installs custom patios. A patio sits at ground level and gives you a hard surface for furniture, grills, and fire pits with less upkeep than a deck.

Deck and patio installation work comes with a one-year warranty.

FAQs About Our Roof, Fence, and Deck Services Near Lexington, KY

Explore our frequently asked questions about our roofing, fencing, and decking services near Lexington, KY:

  • How tall can a fence be in residential areas of Lexington?

    In residential zones, Lexington's zoning code allows fences up to four feet tall between the street and the front of the house. Side and rear yards allow fences up to eight feet, while corner lots have their own height rules along the side street.


    Our Plummer’s Contracting team checks your lot before we set any fencing posts.


  • Which way does the finished side of a fence face?

    When your fence runs along a public street, park, or other public property, the city of Lexington requires the posts and framing to be on the inside, facing your yard.

  • Is a permit part of deck installation in Lexington?

    Yes, for any deck attached to the home, a permit is required. Lexington's Division of Building Inspection handles residential deck permits, and we go over that step with you before construction starts.

  • Do I need permission to update the exterior of my home in a historic district?

    Lexington has 15 local historic districts, including Gratz Park, Bell Court, Ashland Park, and South Hill. Homeowners in these districts must obtain a Certificate of Appropriateness before altering the exterior of their homes or properties, which includes roofing, fencing, and decking.


    If your home is in one of these districts, we plan the start date around that approval timeline.


  • What’s the most durable type of roofing for my Lexington home?

    The most durable roofing material adorning many Lexington, KY, homes is natural slate. Your other options for durable roofing materials include standing-seam metal and architectural asphalt shingles.
