RICHMOND, VA – May 20, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Hurricane Fence, a Class A licensed fence contractor founded in Virginia in 1994, today announced its full range of residential and commercial fence installation and gate operator services to homeowners and businesses across Virginia, North Carolina, and the greater Washington, D.C., area.
Hurricane Fence installs vinyl, aluminum, wood, and chain link fencing for residential customers across the region. Vinyl and aluminum hold up better in Virginia’s climate, particularly in coastal areas where salt air accelerates wood decay, while wood installations use pressure-treated pine and cedar graded to resist ground moisture. For commercial clients, the company provides perimeter fencing, automated gate systems (which use motorized operators to open and close gates by keypad, card reader, or vehicle sensor), security enclosures, and access control infrastructure ranging from residential driveway gates to crash-rated barriers used on government and military facilities. The company operates from four locations: its Richmond headquarters, a Portsmouth office serving the Hampton Roads and Tidewater area, a commercial base in Dunn, North Carolina, and a Northern Virginia office serving the Washington, D.C., metro.
Over 30 years of operation, the company has completed more than 20,000 projects from its Richmond location alone and 3,143 company-wide in 2025. That work runs from single-family residential yards to large-scale contracts for government facilities, military installations, and national infrastructure clients. As more fence contractors have entered the region, the company has received more calls from homeowners needing repairs on work done by others — posts set in shallow concrete that shift after a hard frost, gates installed without proper alignment, and fencing pulled for missing permits. The company sets concrete posts at 30 to 36 inches deep with a curing period before fence installation begins.
Every project starts with an in-person estimate at the property, because site conditions determine material selection, post placement, and gate swing in ways a phone call cannot capture. Before work begins, the company handles all Miss Utility marking requests on the customer’s behalf (a required step in Virginia that identifies buried utility lines to prevent damage during post setting) and pulls all required permits. Before the crew arrives, a salesperson walks the property with the homeowner to confirm the layout and material. After the job, the company calls to confirm the work was done right.
The company holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and an American Fence Association Blue Ribbon certification, a designation requiring documented standards for business practices, financial stability, and customer satisfaction. Its gate division holds IDEA Certified Automated Gate Systems Designer credentials (IDEA is the International Door Association’s certification for gate systems engineers), along with Certified Automatic Gate Operator Installer and Certified Gate Attendant Designer qualifications. Hurricane Fence is licensed in Virginia as a Class A Contractor, the state’s highest commercial contracting classification, under license #2705024990, and holds OSHA 30-hour safety certification across its field crews. The company is also a Certified Small, Women, and Minority-Owned Business in Virginia and a member of the Associated General Contractors of Virginia and the Carolinas Associated General Contractors.
“Richmond has been our home for more than 30 years,” said Dennis Sulser, Owner of Hurricane Fence. “Building an in-house gate operator division and pursuing the commercial certifications that most fence contractors do not hold put us in a position to expand into Hampton Roads, Northern Virginia, and North Carolina. Every office runs by the same standard.”
