We drive steel into Colorado clay and stretch cedar between properties — from Highlands Ranch to Arvada. Every post plumb. Every permit pulled. Every HOA deadline met.

"I'll walk you through a real bid — a 180-linear-foot privacy fence in Centennial, standard six-foot cedar, three-rail system. No filler numbers. This is what the homeowner actually paid in January."

"The cedar vs. composite debate gets settled by three questions: your budget today, your tolerance for maintenance, and whether your HOA has a color board. Let me show you both, honestly."

Western Red Cedar

Tight, straight grain. Reddish-amber heartwood. Smells like a Colorado morning.

20–30 yrs

Maintenance

Stain every 3–5 yrs

Cost / 8-ft panel

$38–$55 / panel

Color Options

Natural, stained, painted

Colorado Climate Rating

5/5

Best for: Privacy fences, semi-privacy, dog-ear picket styles

Strengths

  • Natural oils resist rot and insects without treatment
  • Workable — cuts clean, holds screws without splitting
  • Looks better with age; weathers to warm silver-gray
  • CO climate: handles freeze-thaw cycles well
  • HOA-friendly — almost universally approved

Trade-offs

  • Needs re-staining every 3–5 years in Denver UV
  • Costs 20–35% more than pine upfront
  • Premium old-growth grades getting harder to source

"Unpermitted fence work surfaces at home inspection and can kill a sale. I'll walk you through Denver's actual rules — the 42-inch front-yard limit, the utility locate requirement, and why your HOA approval and your city permit are two completely separate conversations."

The 8 Rules That Trip Up Most DIY Installs

Denver zoning limits front-yard fences to 42 inches. Must be 50% open — no solid privacy panels facing the street.

Colorado law allows adjoining property owners to share fence costs. We help you draft that conversation — and the written agreement — before the first post goes in.
