Kettering homeowners take pride in their properties — and a good fence pays back twice: it makes the yard genuinely more usable, and it sharpens up the whole look of the place. At Broadway Fence LLC, based right in Dayton, we've been installing fences for Kettering families since 2021 — wood privacy, vinyl, chain link, and ornamental aluminum — treating every yard like it's on our own street.
Fences Built for Kettering Homes
Kettering lots come in all shapes: established neighborhoods with mature trees, newer developments with open backyards backing up to each other. Each calls for something a little different.
For backyards facing neighboring houses, a six-foot wood or vinyl privacy fence is the most popular choice. For front yards and corner lots, where Kettering's zoning rules are stricter about height and visibility, ornamental aluminum or a classic picket fence keeps curb appeal intact. And for the practical jobs — dog runs, side yards, gardens — chain link gets it done at a fair price.
What to Know Before Building a Fence in Kettering
A quick heads-up: Kettering has its own zoning rules for fences — height limits differ between front, side, and rear yards, with visibility requirements on corner lots. Reasonable rules, but specific, and enforced.
We check the current requirements for your address and handle the permit side. Any contractor who says "permits don't matter" is setting you up for a removal order down the road.
Our Most Popular Options in Kettering
Wood privacy fences — cedar or pressure-treated, board-on-board or shadowbox. Natural look, real privacy, repairable board by board. Still the top choice.
Vinyl fences — the privacy look with zero maintenance. Costs more upfront, never needs staining, cleans up with a hose.
Ornamental aluminum — for front yards and pool areas. Elegant, rust-free, pool-code friendly.
Chain link — where practicality wins: dog runs, large lots, side yards. Black vinyl-coated available for a cleaner look.
