Testimonials

  • I found these guys through Home Depot, and honestly wasn’t expecting much as I was unfamiliar with them.

    “I found these guys through Home Depot, and honestly wasn’t expecting much as I was unfamiliar with them. Nate promptly came out and quoted my fence, then adjusted maybe 8 times at my request. Nate won out on price when compared to about 4 other contractors. We ended up going with a wooden fence as well as a steel fence. Both seem well made. The crew of 3 worked in 95+ degrees to get the job completed in less than 2 days (lawn contains a bunch of rock). The workers were friendly and also picked up their trash. The morning of, I received a call from Matt, and we discussed the project again. Matt oversaw the operation aspect, and was present more than once. Great job overall. If this isn’t updated (5 stars), it’s safe to assume the fence still stands and quality exceeds price. Update: had a new portion of fencing installed. Guys still did great work all around. I recommend you have them sit down and make them tell you what every little detail is on the drawing before agreeing to work. Don’t just take their word for it because they do it every day.”

  • Superior Fence and Rails is outstanding!

    “Superior Fence and Rails is outstanding! Justin and the customer service team have been absolutely the best of the best. I needed a privacy fence for my yard (which is not small) and they were there every step of the way. No project is without issues, but with Justin any issue was resolved with highest degree of professionalism and care. My backyard is completely transformed as a result and I could not be happier. I recommend Superior fencing and rail over anyone else.”

  • VERY impressed with this company!

    “VERY impressed with this company! My property is a simple rectangle. I got 6 different quotes. I had no intention of going with Superior, only because they were the lowest quote. But as I began pointing out each of the unique issues with our property line (permanent wood planter right at my chain link fence property line, neighbors landscaping right up against it on the other side, another neighbors debris stacked against my chain link fence, tree roots) we talked about the solutions and any additional cost. They remained the least expensive. Next, they assured me that their crews (they have many) are so experienced that they could most likely finish in one day (they did!). 2-3 days for all the others (including the Amish company). The finished product was excellent! Posts and panels straight. Gates level, plumb, and gapped correctly (and they included internal hinge springs to swing the gates closed!). The crew lead, Carlos, confirmed the layout before digging and answered all my questions. GREAT EXPERIENCE!”

    “Big thanks to Crew 3 (Andrew, Jose, Moises, & Omar)! They did a great job installing a chain link fence in our back yard along with a 6 foot wood privacy fence along the patio. They were on time and got things done faster than expected. Everything looks great. Thank you!”

Frequently Asked Questions

Salt Lake City requires a no-fee building permit for most fence installations. Fences can be up to 4 feet tall in front yards and 6 feet tall in side and rear yards, with additional restrictions based on proximity to driveways, sidewalks, and topography. Properties in Salt Lake City's Local Historic Districts -- the Avenues, Capitol Hill, and Marmalade Hill -- must retain and repair existing fences when feasible, and new fences must meet design guidelines. Salt Lake City issues no-fee building permits for most fence projects, and we file them as part of every build. Your local Superior Fence & Rail team will confirm whether your address is in a historic district with additional requirements.

The Wasatch Front sits on expansive clay soils that swell significantly when wet and shrink when dry, creating seasonal movement that can tilt fence posts out of alignment. Utah's dry climate is generally favorable for wood fences compared to more humid regions, but clay soil movement is a real engineering challenge. Concrete-set posts at appropriate depth are essential to counteract this heave. The frost line in Salt Lake City is approximately 30 inches, and posts set below this depth in properly sized concrete footings perform significantly better long-term. Our crews build to these standards on every installation throughout the Wasatch Front.

Utah is among the stricter states for residential pool barrier requirements, many Utah cities require pool enclosure fences to be 6 feet tall, significantly higher than the 48-inch national IRC baseline. Salt Lake City follows Utah's local requirements, which exceed the federal minimum. Pool permits and inspections are required through the Salt Lake City Building Department before pool use. Aluminum fencing is the most popular pool barrier material in Salt Lake City for its clean aesthetic and durability in Utah's four-season climate. Our team handles pool fence permitting as part of every installation.

Salt Lake City's Avenues neighborhood, a 487-acre historic district listed on the National Register since 1980, with homes dating to the 1850s, and the nearby Capitol Hill area have Local Historic District designations. In these areas, the city's design guidelines encourage retaining and repairing existing fences to preserve site character. New fence projects should be reviewed for compatibility with the neighborhood's historic architecture before materials are selected. Contacting Salt Lake City Planning before any fence project in a locally designated historic area is essential. Our team is familiar with the review process in these neighborhoods and can recommend styles likely to be approved.

Salt Lake City's elevation of over 4,200 feet makes UV radiation roughly 25% more intense than at sea level, combined with Utah's notoriously low humidity. These conditions cause untreated wood to dry out and crack faster than in most U.S. markets. Cedar is the best natural wood option because its oils slow moisture loss even in Utah's dry climate. Vinyl is extremely popular along the Wasatch Front for its durability in the region's hot dry summers and cold winters without any seasonal maintenance. Trex and composite materials also perform well in Utah's UV-intense environment. Our team will help you find the right material for your property and long-term maintenance preferences.

Salt Lake City Fence Company

Clear communication, seasoned fencing professionals, and lasting materials

Something comes up on almost every fence job. A buried irrigation line nobody marked, a property line that doesn’t quite match what the survey said, a gate opening that got measured twice and somehow came out wrong anyway. What separates a good company from a frustrating one is what happens next. As a fence company in Salt Lake City, Superior Fence & Rail keeps you in the loop from the first estimate through the last post.

Utah’s climate puts real demands on fencing. Summers bake it, winters freeze the ground around it, and the UV at altitude does things to lower-grade materials that you don’t see until a few years in. We spec materials accordingly and don’t take shortcuts on installation just because the schedule is tight.

Fence Company Near Me in Salt Lake City

Sugar House, The Avenues, Rose Park, Capitol Hill, Yalecrest, Liberty Wells, Foothill-Sunnyside, the East Bench — we know these neighborhoods, and we work in them regularly. If you’re out in Murray, Millcreek, Holladay, or further into the south valley near Taylorsville or West Valley City, that’s us too. The Salt Lake Valley covers a lot of ground, and honestly, we like it that way. Wherever your property is, we can get there.

Salt Lake City Fence Contractor

Freeze cycles are hard on posts. That’s something a lot of homeowners don’t find out until a fence that was installed carelessly starts leaning after the second winter. As a fence contractor in Salt Lake City, we account for local soil conditions and frost depth before anything goes in the ground, and our crews have worked through enough Utah winters to know exactly how that changes the job.

HOA projects come with their own layer of complexity, especially in communities along the Avenues or in newer planned developments in the south valley where design standards and fence height restrictions vary by street. We’re familiar with how that process works and can help you navigate pre-approval documentation before we schedule installation.

Salt Lake City Fence Builder

Every project starts with someone on our team actually walking your property. We’re measuring the line, noting grade changes, identifying utilities or obstacles, and talking through your priorities. Keeping dogs contained, creating privacy from a neighboring roofline, giving a tired yard a clean new edge, all of these scenarios are common to us and they all impact what we recommend before we ever pull a material list together. Once we have an accurate picture of the site, we put together an estimate based on real measurements and materials that actually fit the job. Scheduling is straightforward, and we keep materials stocked so projects don’t get pushed back because something’s on backorder.

Salt Lake City Fence Installation

A bad installation experience usually looks the same: crew shows up late, leaves debris, and the homeowner doesn’t hear back for days when there’s a question. That’s not how fence installation works on our jobs. We contact you ahead of the scheduled day, arrive ready to work, and don’t leave until the job is complete and the yard is cleaned up.

Our crews take property seriously. Landscaping gets protected as much as possible, gates get tested before we pack up, and the final walkthrough happens with you present so you can see exactly what was done and ask any questions on the spot. Most residential projects wrap in a single day, though larger installs on sloped or rocky lots (something that comes up regularly along the East Bench) may run into a second day.

Salt Lake City Fence Financing

A new fence is a real investment, and paying for it all at once isn’t always how the timing works out. Explore our fence financing options to see what might fit your budget and timeline. We work with programs designed to keep projects moving without the pressure of a single large payment up front.

Salt Lake City Fencing Options

The right material depends on what the fence actually needs to do. Vinyl is a strong fit for homeowners in HOA communities across the valley where maintenance rules are strict and color consistency matters over time. It won’t fade, splinter, or need repainting after a hard summer. Cedar is a different conversation. It handles Utah’s dry heat well and has a warmth that works naturally in established neighborhoods like Sugar House or the Avenues, where a lot of the surrounding architecture skews older and traditional. Steel fencing shows up on pool projects and commercial properties where durability and a clean sightline matter more than anything else.

Our full lineup of fence styles includes vinyl, wood, steel, cedar, chain link, pool fence, dog fence, and commercial fencing, along with gates and entry systems. Each material serves different goals: chain link for utility and pet containment, pool fence for code compliance and kid safety, steel for curb appeal that holds up without much upkeep. If you’re not sure which direction makes sense for your property, that’s exactly what the consultation is for.

Not every fence company working the Salt Lake Valley right now is going to give you the same experience. Some will. A lot won’t. Superior Fence & Rail has worked with homeowners in Yalecrest, property managers in the south valley, and commercial clients in between — and the approach doesn’t change based on the size of the job. Trained crews, materials that hold up, and somebody you can actually reach when you have a question. Ready to get started? Contact our Salt Lake City team to request a free estimate.
