Proudly Serving Westlake

Mae Fence installs and replaces fencing for homeowners and businesses across Westlake, from established subdivisions to newer developments throughout the city. We help customers compare materials and styles so the finished fence fits the property.

Every estimate accounts for the site itself: existing fence lines, slope, drainage, and any municipal or HOA requirements that apply before work begins.

Why Westlake Homeowners Choose Mae Fence

  • Mae Fence has been family-owned and operated since 1927, with generations of experience manufacturing and installing fencing for properties throughout Ohio.

  • Mae Fence builds its own fence panels in-house, which keeps material quality and consistency under one roof from production through the day it's installed.

  • Municipal permits and HOA approvals can involve separate requirements, paperwork, and timelines. For contracted installation projects, Mae Fence can manage the applicable submission process on your behalf.

  • A project specialist will measure your property, discuss your goals, explain the available materials and styles, and provide detailed pricing before you make a commitment.

  • More than 2,000 customer reviews on Google provide firsthand insight into our communication, craftsmanship, installation process, and follow-up service.

Westlake Fence Permit Information

The City of Westlake requires a permit before a new or replacement fence is installed. Requirements may vary based on the proposed fence height and location, property zoning, corner-lot visibility, easements, drainage conditions, and whether the fence will enclose a swimming pool. 

For current applications, fees, supporting-document requirements, and submission instructions, visit the City of Westlake’s Permits and Contractor Information page or contact the Building Department. 

For contracted installation projects, Mae Fence can manage the applicable municipal permit and HOA approval processes on your behalf. HOA approval is separate from city permitting, so please provide your project specialist with any association guidelines or application materials available for your property. 

A property survey can help document boundaries, easements, and other conditions affecting the proposed layout. You do not need one to schedule a free estimate, but additional documentation may be required before the project can proceed. Before installation, Mae Fence coordinates with Ohio 811 to have participating public utility lines marked around the work area. Utility markings promote safer digging, but they do not establish legal property boundaries or necessarily identify privately installed lines.

What Ohio Homeowners Are Saying

  • "We love our fence from Mae Fencing!! They did a great job! They were very responsive and accommodating. Our HOA kept taking their time and throwing curve balls with the planning process but Mae Fencing was very patient and understanding to that process. Crew came out on installation day and everything came together very quickly!"

  • "This is the 3rd fence we have had installed by Mae fence, and we have recommended them to others. This fence is not fancy, it is meant to keep the pets and young kids from wandering while complying with our HOA rules. It looks nice and seems solid. We did have a problem with our fence being installed in the wrong location. The weather was cold and rainy, and no one on the installation team spoke English. This was pretty frustrating and stressful. However, when we reached out to Mae fence, they did come out and they moved the fence to the correct location when the weather was better. Everyone we worked with was kind and professional, even the guys who we really couldn’t speak with. We would work with Mae fence again."

  • "We had a great experience with Mae. Several neighbors had a good experience which is why we went with them. The lead installer was very pleasant, the crew hardworking, competent and respectful of our property. They installed a 6’ red ceadar fence for both myself and next door neighbor on the same day. The bid was competitive and the salesperson was not pushy at all. Overall 5 stars!"

    BBB Review - Beth

  • "I had an 8’ tall privacy fence installed, along the back row of my property. The salesman was great~ informative, polite, knowledgeable and friendly. Showed up on time for the estimate, which is always appreciated in today’s business. The crews that showed up to do the installation, ( 2 separate ones, as one crew was running behind on a project) were all very polite and professional. They left nothing behind that I had to clean up. I feel they did a great job! I’m very happy with the quality of the material and the workmanship. I would recommend this company!"

  • "Great experience working with Mae Fence Company from start to finish! Kevin was amazing to work with from the start — talked us through the design, spacing and examples as we took out existing fencing and replaced with a privacy fence and new trash can area. The workers who came out for installation did an amazing job and checked with us throughout the process to make sure the gates opened the way we wanted. We did have two different sized post toppers that we didn’t notice until after they had left…but I called and scheduled for them to come back and replace the smaller toppers with the bigger size. The guys came out and replaced them for us, no problem! We will definitely be using Mae Fence Company for any future project and highly recommend them to anyone wanting a high quality fence!"

    BBB Review - Megan

  • "My husband and I have abhorred our fence since we bought our house, and it only got worse over time (see the photos 🫣). Once it started leaning badly and boards were falling off, we knew it was time to get it replaced. I obtained a few fence quotes, but Mae Fence Company felt like a good fit for our needs and the lead time was only 4-6 weeks. We opted for a tan vinyl privacy fence since our prior wood fence was in shambles and I didn't wanna go through that again, lol. Tyler, our sales rep, answered all of my good and silly questions in a professional manner and made us confident with our choices. The team arrived around 9 am and was all wrapped up by 5 pm. They made sure to clean up after themselves and swept off our driveway since it got a bit muddy from the rain. Overall, we love the results and we're excited to host backyard gatherings without wondering if our fence will fall over if someone bumps into it. 🤣 Lastly, now the raccoon can't lift the boards anymore to steal all my bird seed. 😅"

FAQs About Fence in Westlake, Ohio

  • Mae Fence can remove an existing fence as part of a new fence installation project. Your replacement fence may use a different available material or style, subject to municipal, HOA, and property requirements. Removal isn't offered as a standalone service.

  • In many cases, yes. The right approach depends on the material, fence style, and grade of the yard, since some fences can follow the slope while others use stepped sections instead. A project specialist evaluates the terrain during your estimate to recommend what will work on your property.

  • Once permits and approvals are complete and installation is scheduled, Mae Fence aims to complete most residential fence projects in one day. Larger projects, challenging terrain, weather, or gates that need additional setting time can extend the timeline.

  • In many cases, a driveway or entry gate can be added to an existing fence line. A project specialist will inspect the existing material, posts, spacing, and condition to determine what is possible. Mae Fence can attempt to coordinate the new gate with fencing installed by another company, but an exact material, color, or style match cannot be guaranteed. Larger gates may also require reinforced posts, framing, or additional hardware.

  • New fence installations in Westlake start at $2,500, with the average Mae Fence project costing approximately $5,500. Final pricing depends on the fence material, style, linear footage, gates, property conditions, and removal of existing fencing. During your free estimate, a project specialist will measure the property and provide detailed pricing for your specific project.
