Englewood has that small-town feel with real history — older homes along the National Road, quiet streets, and the MetroPark right there. A lot of Englewood fences are reaching the age where the question isn't "should we?" but "repair or replace?" At Broadway Fence LLC, based in Dayton, we've been helping Englewood homeowners answer exactly that since 2021 — installing wood privacy, vinyl, chain link, and ornamental aluminum fences, and giving straight advice when a repair will do.
Fences Built for Englewood Homes
Englewood's housing stock runs older than most Dayton suburbs, which means two things for fences: mature trees with root systems that laugh at shallow posts, and existing fences that are often worth an honest evaluation before anyone talks replacement.
When it's time for new: a six-foot wood or vinyl privacy fence is the most popular choice for backyards here. For the classic Englewood look — older home, kept-up yard — ornamental aluminum or a picket fence along the front keeps the character intact. Chain link handles the practical jobs: dog runs, gardens, side yards.
What to Know Before Building a Fence in Englewood
Englewood enforces its own zoning rules for fences — height limits that vary between front, side, and rear yards, with extra attention on corner lots and visibility near driveways. Older neighborhoods can also have deed restrictions worth checking.
We verify the current requirements for your address and handle the permit side. And when your existing fence is borderline, we'll tell you honestly whether a repair buys you real years or just delays the inevitable — we do both, so there's no upsell motive.
Our Most Popular Options in Englewood
Wood privacy fences — cedar or pressure-treated, board-on-board or shadowbox. Natural look, real privacy, repairable board by board. The classic choice.
Vinyl fences — privacy without the upkeep. No staining, no rot, no splinters. Costs more upfront, pays back in weekends.
Ornamental aluminum — for front yards and pool areas. Elegant, rust-proof, and pool-code friendly.
Chain link — where practicality wins: dog runs, large lots, side yards. Black vinyl-coated for a cleaner look.

Why Englewood Neighbors Call Broadway Fence
We're a Dayton-area fence contractor — established 2021 — and our business runs on referrals from people who watched us work in their neighbor's yard.
That means: we show up when we say we will, every post goes in concrete below the frost line (36 inches minimum — shallow posts are why old fences lean), gates get hung to latch, and the yard gets left clean. Written quote upfront, no "sign today" pressure, no surprise charges.
We also serve Dayton, Clayton, Vandalia, Huber Heights, and Union.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for a fence in Englewood?
In most cases, yes — Englewood requires permits for fences with specific height rules by yard location. We check the current requirements for your address and handle the permit process.
How long does a typical fence installation take?
Most residential jobs in Englewood take one to three days depending on footage, terrain, tree roots, and gates. You get a realistic timeline at the estimate, and we hold to it.
Should I repair my old fence or replace it?
If the posts are solid and the damage is limited, repair usually wins. If posts are rotted at ground level across long runs, replacement is the honest answer. We'll evaluate yours for free and show you both numbers.
Do you work around mature trees?
Yes — half of Englewood has them. We route fence lines to protect major roots where possible and set posts to full depth regardless. If a root makes a section impossible, we'll tell you before we start, not after.
