Premier fence installation in Coral Gables, FL. Custom ornamental iron, wrought iron, wood, aluminum & privacy fences. 25+ years serving Coral Gables. Free consultation.
At Fab’s Construction & Remodeling, we’ve installed hundreds of fences across Coral Gables and South Florida. Whether you need a stately ornamental iron fence for a historic Mediterranean estate, a wood privacy fence for a family home, or a modern aluminum pool enclosure, we’ve got you covered:
A successful fence project is built on a great process. Ours is tailored to minimize stress and maximize quality. From our initial consultation to the final walkthrough, we combine expert planning, skilled craftsmanship, and consistent updates to ensure your project is on time, on budget, and beautifully executed.
The signature fencing style of Coral Gables. We design and install custom wrought iron and ornamental aluminum fences that combine timeless elegance with lasting durability. Choose from classic scrollwork, spear tops, or minimalist modern designs to complement your home’s architecture. Our ornamental iron fences are powder‑coated for rust resistance and available in a range of colors.
Create a secluded backyard retreat with a solid privacy fence. We offer wood (cedar, pressure‑treated pine) and composite options that provide complete visual screening while adding warmth and natural beauty. Our privacy fences are built to withstand South Florida’s humidity and are available in various heights and styles.
Lightweight, durable, and low‑maintenance, aluminum fences are an excellent choice for pool enclosures, front yards, and commercial properties. They offer the look of ornamental iron without the maintenance, and they meet Miami‑Dade County pool safety requirements.
Classic and versatile, wood fences provide privacy, charm, and a natural aesthetic. We install cedar, cypress, and pressure‑treated pine fences in styles ranging from traditional picket to board‑on‑board and shadowbox. We use corrosion‑resistant fasteners and proper post setting to ensure longevity.
Enhance security and convenience with an automated driveway or pedestrian gate. We install swing and slide gate systems with remote access, keypad entry, and safety sensors. Our gates are crafted to match your fence design and can be integrated with your home’s smart system.
Florida law requires barriers around residential pools. We install code‑compliant pool fences in aluminum, glass, and mesh options that prioritize safety without sacrificing aesthetics. We ensure proper gate self‑closing and self‑latching mechanisms.
For security and utility, chain link fences remain a practical choice. We offer galvanized and vinyl‑coated chain link in various heights, suitable for side yards, dog runs, and commercial perimeters.
Combining the look of wood with the durability of engineered materials, composite fences resist rot, insects, and fading. They are an excellent low‑maintenance alternative for homeowners seeking longevity.
Make a statement with a custom entry gate. We design and fabricate one‑of‑a‑kind gates that reflect your style—whether ornate wrought iron, sleek aluminum, or rustic wood—and integrate with your fence and landscaping.
Extend the life of your existing fence with professional repairs. We replace damaged sections, reset leaning posts, repair gates, and refinish surfaces to restore beauty and function.
Coral Gables has strict fence regulations, including height limits, material restrictions, and historic district reviews. We handle all permitting and can assist with HOA applications to ensure your project is approved without delays.
Expertise in Coral Gables Codes & Historic Preservation: We have deep experience navigating the City of Coral Gables’ fence regulations, including height restrictions (typically 4 feet in front yards, 6 feet in side/rear yards), material standards, and Historic Preservation Board guidelines for properties in historic districts. We ensure your fence is fully compliant and enhances your property’s character.

Do I need a permit for a new fence in Coral Gables?
Yes. All new fence installations and most significant repairs in Coral Gables require a building permit. Additionally, if the fence is visible from the street, it must be reviewed and approved by the Board of Architects. We handle the entire permitting and design submittal process to ensure your fence is legally installed and compliant.
What are the height restrictions for fences in Coral Gables?
Generally, residential rear-yard fences can be up to 6 feet high. However, front-yard fences and walls are much more strictly regulated, often limited to 4 feet and requiring specific transparency or architectural detailing. We provide custom consultations to ensure your design meets the exact code for your specific Coral Gables street.
Are wood fences recommended for the Coral Gables climate?
While traditional wood provides a classic look, we highly recommend premium vinyl (PVC) or aluminum fencing for Coral Gables homeowners. These materials are resistant to the high humidity, termites, and salt air common in South Florida. If you prefer wood, we use pressure-treated lumber specifically rated for ground contact to ensure longevity.
Can you install automatic driveway gates in Coral Gables?
Absolutely. We specialize in custom-designed automatic gates that match the architectural style of your home. We integrate high-security access systems with elegant aluminum or wrought iron designs, ensuring they meet the city’s electrical and structural permitting requirements.
Q1: Do I need to notify my neighbors before installing a fence?
A: While not legally required in most cases, it’s a good neighbor practice. If the fence is on a property line, a survey may be needed to avoid disputes. We can help coordinate with surveyors.
Q2: Can you install fences on sloping or uneven terrain?
A: Yes. We use techniques such as stepping or raking to follow the natural contour of the land, ensuring a professional appearance.
Q3: Do you offer gate automation for driveway entries?
A: Absolutely. We install automatic gate systems with remote controls, keypads, and safety sensors. We can integrate with existing security systems.
Q4: What maintenance is required for an ornamental iron fence?
A: Powder‑coated ornamental iron requires little maintenance beyond occasional cleaning. We can provide guidance on caring for your specific material.
Q5: Will my new fence increase my property value?
A: A well‑designed, professionally installed fence adds curb appeal, security, and privacy, which can positively impact property value—especially in a high‑end market like Coral Gables.

Coral Gables, known as “The City Beautiful,” is one of America’s first planned communities, developed in the 1920s by George E. Merrick. His vision was to create a Mediterranean-inspired oasis where grand boulevards, lush landscaping, and distinct architectural “villages” would harmonize with the natural beauty of South Florida. Today, that vision remains at the heart of the city’s identity.
Merrick’s dream took form in iconic landmarks that still define Coral Gables:
The Biltmore Hotel (1926) – A National Historic Landmark with a 26‑story tower modeled after the Giralda Bell Tower in Seville, Spain. It stands as a symbol of the city’s golden age and now serves as a luxury resort and golf club.
Venetian Pool (1923) – A one‑of‑a‑kind public swimming pool carved from a coral rock quarry. With its waterfalls, grottos, and Mediterranean towers, it has been called “the world’s most beautiful swimming hole.”
The Coral Gables Merrick House – The original family home of George Merrick, built from native coral rock. Now a museum, it offers a glimpse into the city’s founding story.
Miracle Mile – The city’s premier shopping and dining district, lined with chic boutiques, art galleries, and restaurants, anchored by the historic Miracle Theatre.
The Shops at Merrick Park – An upscale open‑air center featuring high‑end retailers like Gucci and Nordstrom, beautifully landscaped courtyards, and fine dining.
Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden – An 83‑acre botanical garden renowned for its rare tropical plants, butterfly exhibits, and the annual Chocolate Festival.
Matheson Hammock Park – A scenic park with a man‑made atoll pool, walking trails, and stunning views of Biscayne Bay—a favorite for families and nature lovers.
Coral Gables was designed to feel like a series of charming villages, each with its own architectural theme—French, Italian, Chinese, and Spanish—woven together by tree‑lined boulevards and six miles of navigable waterways. The city’s commitment to preservation ensures that its historic neighborhoods, from the Granada Section to Gables Estates, retain their original beauty and elegance.
The free trolley system connects neighborhoods to downtown, while the University of Miami adds a vibrant, academic energy. With its world‑class parks, cultural institutions, and a strong sense of community, Coral Gables remains a premier destination for homeowners who value timeless architecture and an unparalleled quality of life.
Providing expert fence installation in Coral Gables, Fab’s Construction & Remodeling specializes in high-quality boundary solutions that meet the unique aesthetic and structural requirements of ‘The City Beautiful.’ From the historic wood-look vinyl fences of the Granada section to the elegant, powder-coated aluminum railings required for waterfront estates in Cocoplum and Gables Estates, we ensure every project is fully compliant with the City of Coral Gables Board of Architects (BOA). We understand the specific setback regulations and height restrictions for the 33134, 33146, 33143, and 33156 zip codes, providing hurricane-rated fencing that withstands Miami-Dade’s high-velocity wind zones while enhancing the curb appeal of your property.
