Fence Company in Homewood, AL

Birmingham Fence Pros is a fence company that builds and repairs fences in Homewood, the city just over Red Mountain from downtown Birmingham, about 4 miles south. Homewood had 26,414 residents at the 2020 census, and it packs a lot of older homes onto modest lots.

Over the Mountain, Out of the Smoke

Part of Homewood started as Hollywood, a 1920s subdivision sold to Birmingham families with the slogan "Out of the Smoke Zone, Into the Ozone." Architect George P. Turner designed many of its houses in Spanish Colonial Revival and English Tudor styles, and the Hollywood Historic District went on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. Homewood annexed Hollywood in 1929 and Oak Grove in 1955.

Those older neighborhoods shape the fence work we do here. Lots are close together, backyards are small, and a fence has to suit a house with real character. Common requests include:

• Six-foot privacy fences between close neighbors
• Low picket or ornamental fences that suit a Tudor or Spanish Colonial front yard
• Replacing a leaning, decades-old wood fence along an alley or back property line
• Gates sized for trash cans and lawn equipment on narrow side yards

Fence Building Near Shades Creek

Shades Creek, part of the Cahaba River system, runs through Homewood. Low ground near a creek holds water in the clay, so we set posts in gravel-bottomed holes that drain, and we pay attention to any lot that sits in a mapped floodplain, where fence rules are stricter. Higher up toward Red Mountain, the ground turns rocky, and post holes take more work to dig.

Homewood Has Its Own Rules

Homewood is its own city, separate from Birmingham, so fence permits, height limits, and setbacks come from the City of Homewood. Some streets also have neighborhood or historic district expectations about what a front-yard fence should look like. We check what applies to your address before we quote, and we call 811 before any post hole is dug.

What We Recommend Most in Homewood

On small lots, the fence is often the main thing you see from the back porch, so we spend time on the details: board spacing, post caps, a straight top line, and a gate that closes without dragging. For front yards, black aluminum fences are a popular choice because they define the yard without hiding a historic facade.
