Approval, height, style, color and placement: what to check before a single post goes in the ground.
Before You Start
There's no single set of HOA fence rules in Huntsville or Madison. Each neighborhood has its own covenants, and many have an architectural review committee that has to approve your fence before it goes up. This guide covers what to look for. Your HOA's documents have the final word.
Step 1
Look for your HOA's covenants, restrictions or architectural guidelines, often on the HOA's website or portal, or from your management company. Search for "fence" and read every section that mentions it.
Step 2
These are the items HOAs most often regulate:
Step 3
Most HOAs ask for a short application with the fence style, height, material, color and a sketch of where it goes on your lot. We provide those details for our customers. Don't start building until you have approval in writing.
Step 4
Separate from your HOA, the city or county may have rules about fence height and placement, especially on corner lots and near the street. If you're unsure, call the planning or permits office for your city.
Step 5
Before any digging, underground utilities must be marked. We make sure that's done before we set posts.

"Like to say thank you to the team at Dawfin Fence! I've dealt with fence companies in the past but I have never dealt with one like this... We moved in on a Thursday and by Saturday we had our fence. David stayed in full contact throughout the entire experience making sure everything went perfectly."
"We had Dawfin do our fence and not only did they do a great job with the install they communicated the entire time and kept the job site clean at all times. Highly recommend."
"I had my fence stained and it came out beautifully. It was to HOA standards and the stainer was very meticulous with his work. He even fixed a part on my fence. Quality company!"
"Punctual, professional and the fence looks amazing!"
