Fence Services in St Johns County, FL

Fortera installs, repairs, and replaces fences across Ponte Vedra and St John’s County, every one built on our 100 mph iDrive Power System and backed in writing.

Fence Installation

New fence built for St. Johns County's new-construction and HOA neighborhoods. Most homes here need architectural-review approval before a single post goes in. We manage that submittal as part of the job, and aluminum and vinyl styles tend to clear review fastest.

Fence Replacement

When a fence is failing, or a storm takes it down, we haul the old one, set new iDrive posts, and match or upgrade your style to current code.

Fence Repair

We repair storm damage, leaning posts, panel and gate failures, and salt-air corrosion across Ponte Vedra, Nocatee, and the rest of St. Johns County.

Fence Types and Materials

Every property has different needs. We offer five materials to match your budget, style, and how much maintenance.

White Vinyl Fence by Fortera Fencing

The low-maintenance pick. No painting or staining, and it shrugs off coastal humidity.

A wrought-iron look that won’t rust. Good for pool enclosures and yards near the water.

Cost-effective security for yards, pets, and commercial perimeters. Galvanized against salt-air corrosion.

Combine materials, like aluminum posts with vinyl panels, for a custom look.

Full-privacy backyards. Board-on-board and shadowbox styles, built for Jacksonville heat and humidity.

I hired fortera to build a fence around two new construction houses I built. They came out quick for an estimate. Gave me a great price and knocked out a quality fence quick. 10/10. Will be using them again for all my builds moving forward.

Recently used the team at Fortera Fencing to re-install our aluminum fence after a backyard project and couldn't be any happier. The entire experience was seamless, transparent and most of all professional. This wasn't your Chuck-In-A-Truck outfit...there was a clear plan from start to finish and that plan was executed in a timely fashion. Do NOT hesitate to call Fontera!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle St. Johns County permits?

Yes. The permitting process in St. Johns County differs from Duval County, and requirements within the county vary further depending on whether your property is inside an HOA, inside city limits, or on unincorporated land. We verify requirements for your specific address before we build and manage the full permit process as part of the job. For properties in Nocatee and the Durban/Bartram corridor, there are additional community-specific considerations we navigate regularly.

Yes. HOA architectural-review coordination is a standard part of our process for every St. Johns County job, not an add-on. We prepare and submit the full package on your behalf. Nocatee, Ponte Vedra, Sawgrass, and most master-planned communities in this corridor require material approval, color approval, and sometimes style approval before installation. Aluminum and vinyl are the most commonly approved styles in these communities. We’ll advise on the specific requirements for your HOA at the estimate so there are no surprises.

Coastal-grade aluminum or vinyl is the right call for most Ponte Vedra Beach, Palm Valley, and ocean-adjacent properties. Aluminum does not rust and holds its finish in salt air and coastal humidity without painting or treatment. Vinyl resists moisture at the panel level and requires minimal maintenance. Both are available in styles that typically clear HOA review in this market. For properties on or near the water, we recommend corrosion-resistant hardware throughout, not just at the post. We’ll give you a specific material recommendation on-site.

Lead times vary by season and current project load. HOA review adds time to the schedule in St. Johns County, so we factor that in from the start. We’ll give you a specific start window at the estimate.

We work regularly in Nocatee, Beachwalk, Durbin Crossing, Bartram Park, Julington Creek, World Golf Village, and other fast-growing new-construction communities across northern St. Johns County. These neighborhoods move quickly and most have strict HOA standards. We know the approval requirements and material preferences for most of them going in.

Yes. Florida pool barrier code applies across St. Johns County and we install to those standards on every pool enclosure job. Requirements include a minimum 48-inch fence height, self-closing and self-latching gates, and a maximum 4-inch gap between pickets. We verify compliance with the local inspector before calling the job complete.
