Our Hometown

Fencing for Gastonia Neighborhoods Since 1989

Wood, chain link, aluminum and gate work for Gastonia homes, built by the crews who started here after Hurricane Hugo. Every estimate from J & G Fence Company, Inc. is free and in writing.

Where It Started

A Handshake Business Born in Gastonia

In September 1989, Hurricane Hugo tore through the Carolinas and left fences down all over the region. Two best friends, Joe and Gary, started putting them back up for their neighbors, on a handshake and a promise to do it right. That storm recovery work became J & G Fence Company, Inc.

More than 35 years later, our office is still in Gastonia at 1326 West 2nd Avenue, Gastonia, NC 28052. Tim has run the day-to-day since 2010 alongside Angie, who keeps the office and the schedule moving. Joe is still involved, and his standards show up on every job.

We build the way we would build on our own property. More than half of our work each year comes from repeat customers and the friends they send us. That is also why every estimate is free and in writing, and why we triple-check the work before calling it finished. Tim's son Logan represents the next generation at J & G.

A Handshake Business Born in Gastonia

Fences We Build Most Across the City

Gastonia has everything from 1920s bungalows to brand new subdivisions, so no single fence fits every street. A 6 foot wood privacy fence in board-on-board, dog-ear or shadowbox style is still the backbone of our residential work. It gives a backyard real privacy from busy roads like Franklin Boulevard and Garrison Boulevard. Stockade style is also available for a more rustic look.

For dogs and kids, galvanized or black vinyl-coated chain link keeps a yard secure at a sensible price, and the black coating blends into lawns and shrubs. Around older homes where curb appeal matters, an aluminum or ornamental steel fence adds a clean border that does not hide the house. A matching walk gate or double drive gate can be added to either one.

When a storm drops a tree across the yard, our fence repair and section replacement work puts things back the way they were. Repair is where this company began, and we still take those calls. Our two installation crews are J & G employees, not day labor.

Fences We Build Most Across the City
Local Knowledge

York-Chester, Loray Mill and the Streets We Know

The York-Chester Historic District covers about 193 acres of mostly single-family homes, built from roughly 1856 to 1955 in Queen Anne and bungalow styles. A fence there should suit the porch and the trim, not fight them. We help owners pick a height and style that fits an older house. Shadowbox wood looks good from both sides, which helps on a shared property line.

The Loray Mill Historic District marks the city's textile past, and Crowders Mountain State Park rises west of the city toward Kings Mountain. Rankin Lake Park, built around a 1922 reservoir, draws walkers and disc golf players. The Schiele Museum of Natural History is another local landmark. Out along New Hope Road, Chester Street and US 321, newer subdivisions may bring HOA rules of their own.

Before we build, we check the city's fence rules and any HOA covenants for your street. That way the fence passes every review and stays where it belongs. If a permit is needed, we say so up front.

    Hey, listen, Tim and gang are THE BEST show in town! The price was great, the customer service second to none, but honestly for someone on a schedule the best part was: they started and finished when they said they would (insert applause here). They did the job right! Don't mess with anyone else, just call Tim and get the job done right!

    I had J&G replace an old and decayed wood stockade fence with a new one. I have high expectations and they exceded them. The quality of material was top-notch. The workmanship was flawless and the work crew was highly skilled, friendly, cooperative, and very efficient. Aside from the wonderful sturdy fence installation, they did a marvelous job of cleaning an overgrown fence line and completely cleaned up after themselves. They were in and out in only 2 days. I found their cost to be fair and owner Joe Mayes who did the quote was good to work with. I highly recommend them.

    J G Fence did a great job replacing our picket fence. I saw their sign on Walthour and called and left a message on their phone. Joe got right back to me which is unusual in Savannah. So many times when trying to get work done, nobody calls back, very frustrating. He put us on his schedule and within two weeks the work was done and only took one day, and they hauled away the old fence. Also very reasonably priced which we appreciated. Thanks Joe and Gene for a job well done. I would highly recommend them if you want a professional job.

    It’s always stressful to find and hire a contractor to me anyway, but I hit a home with J & G Fence Company. Had less expensive quotes but my salesman, Tim Conner, sold me on himself and his company. Tim gave me solid advice, explained the process so even I could understand…lol Tim’s crew was amazing to watch. Very polite to speak with and I enjoyed watching them work together. It seemed each guy had his own responsibilities and didn’t have to ask each other what to do, just worked like a well oiled machine and finished the job in no time. They also left my yard looking better than when they got here. Super, super experience and trust me, you can trust this company to deliver on your expectations.

    We have used J&G twice now; once to replace and update existing fencing, and once to add additional fencing to our property. We are very pleased with the work and the product. We have gotten compliments from our neighbors. The fence installers did a fantastic job and left the place nice and clean. Tim is a great guy and we are glad to know him. We highly recommend J&G services to anyone needing fencing on their property.

    We love our new privacy fence! The J&G crew removed our old chain-link fence and built a much sturdier fence in just a day and a half. The work was fast, high quality, and priced much lower than other quotes we received. They even added a free gate. Excellent service—highly recommend!

    Tim came highly recommended by several friends that had used J&G for many fence projects. He and his team exceeded our expectations! They were affordable, quick and efficient and the fence is superior quality. We had him add a street access gate and privacy surround for our garbage and recycling- that was the cherry on top! I would without hesitation recommend J&G for your next fence project!

    I had approximately 360 ft. Of fence installed. One side of the property line with wooden privacy fence and the rest 5 ft chain link. They installed two 12 ft drive through gates on the chain link as well as a 5 ft gate for foot traffic. It looks wonderful and I think they did a wonderful job. They even had to slightly modify a terminal post to attach to my pool fence. Super job!

    Tim was great and personable and upfront. I had to wait for approval from my HOA but he was able to get the materials ordered so we would be ready to go. The guys worked fast and finished in one day. They were also clean and didn't leave any debris or trash in my yard, yay! I had 4 quotes and all were within $700 of each other. I decided to go with J&G and didn't realize until later that they were actually the lowest quote. Win Win! For reference, I had a 6 foot vinyl privacy fence with one gate installed.

    We can't thank Tim Connor with J&G Fence enough for his accuracy and competence in first, finding an encroachment by our neighbor's newly installed fence, and then installing our fence. From start to finish, Tim and his team held true to their word, arriving on time and finishing the job on time and installing a quality fence that looks great.

    Overall had a great experience with J and G Fence Co. Accurate review would probably be 4.5 stars, but I will round up based on continuous positive interactions. They were very responsive in our communications back and forth, were always on time, and I found their fence estimate to be reasonable. We had a privacy fence installed for our back yard (with two gates, one for a person and another for a car) about four months ago. The fence has held up well through a few storms, and has kept both our dog and toddler in the yard while exploring. There were only two areas of improvement I would recommend. Firstly, all the purchase stickers were left on the bottom of the individual fence pickets, so I had to go through and remove them all myself. Secondly, the car gate installation functions properly, but both doors of the gate are crooked. Pleased in all my interactions with the people at J and G Fence Co., and would definitely recommend them to anyone.

    We had a vinyl fence installed on one side of our property to match the neighbors' side yet leave the back open for our scenery. Ken was our project manager, and kept us updated on our order and also came to remeasure after we had second thoughts about the length of the fence. The team Jose, Kevin, and Beto, installed our fence just as I wanted; level on the top and according to the specifications. They were very pleasant, professional, and efficient in getting the work done on a very hot day. We are looking forward to grilling and entertaining outside now with our new privacy. Thank you! 🤗

    We are currently working on having fencing installed around our back yard and called on J & G Fence Co for an estimate. They made an appointment to come out and in spite of it being rainy, they came out and prepared the estimate in the rain. Their estimate was very competitive and we would have probably chosen them for the work if not for a personal recommendation from a close friend on another company. This group is very professional and I was impressed by their responsiveness and commitment to be here despite the weather. Please consider this company for your fencing needs!

    I found J&G Fence by listening to WSGE Radio. I was very impressed with the response of getting back to me and being on time in scheduling. My yard was a bit of a challenge due to some obstacles and trees that we wanted to keep. The installers did an amazing job and were super nice and explained everything to us. They were respectful of property and got the job completed on schedule. I had been wanting a fence for years so that I could enjoy privacy and to block the view of a neighbor. These guys are my heroes this year. Thanks J&G Fence, I'm doing a happy dance!

Questions From Gastonia Homeowners

Every board on this fence is a question we hear often. Pick one and it swings open.

Do I need a permit to put up a fence inside Gastonia city limits?

It depends on the project and where you live. The City of Gastonia has its own rules, and some subdivisions add HOA covenants on height and style. We check the requirements for your address before we build and tell you at the estimate if approval or paperwork is involved, so the project does not stall once the crew is ready.

Call (704) 868-3559

Can you build a fence that suits an older home in York-Chester?

Yes. Many homes in the York-Chester Historic District date from the late 1800s to the 1950s, and the right fence respects that. We often suggest a shadowbox or dog-ear wood fence, or an open aluminum style for the front yard. We walk the lot with you, talk through the look you want and put the plan in writing.
