Fence installation in Longwood, FL.

Longwood fences, built to fit older homes

Longwood is one of Seminole County's older municipalities, which means established lots, mature trees, and homes that have already weathered three decades of Florida storms. Wulff Fence respects that history: we work around the root systems and existing landscape, set posts where they should go, and leave the property looking the way it did when we arrived, except with a new fence.

For Longwood homeowners replacing a tired wood privacy fence, we usually walk through three options on site: rebuild in wood, upgrade to PVC vinyl, or step to an electric gate + perimeter combo if the property calls for security. We have not found a fence we could not replace yet.

Permits, codes, and HOAs

Seminole County is straightforward on permits if you know the inspector. We pull the building permit and file the Notice of Commencement on every Longwood install. Each neighborhood and municipality has its own quirks, so we typically pull the specific code for the area and build to that. The HOA submission stays with you, because the HOA is its own entity and homeowners know who to contact.

Wind and post setting

Same standard everywhere we work: every post, regardless of material, goes 3 feet deep in concrete. PVC vinyl is rated for 90 mph winds. Wood withstands gusts up to 100 mph. The same install you would receive in Altamonte Springs or Maitland, with the inspector signing off when the work is finished.

What we handle

We call for utility marking before we dig on every Longwood job. If a marked line is damaged during install, the utility company repairs it at no cost. We use as much caution as we can around landscaping while the crew works. Beyond standard installs, we handle the full fence installation service, take on fence repair after storms, build out dog runs, and weld custom wrought iron for ornamental front yards. For Longwood backyards that need quiet, ask about a privacy fence in wood or vinyl. Read more about Wulff Fence.
