Big Jerry’s Fencing installs reliable fencing throughout Jacksonville and surrounding Duval County. Duval County stretches from downtown Jacksonville out to the barrier islands and throws different challenges at a fence. Salt air near the beaches, constant humidity, and a hurricane season that runs half the year. We build sturdy fences that survive Florida, not just decorate a property.

Big Jerry’s Fencing Permitting Requirements
Jacksonville is Florida’s most populous city. It is the seat of government of Duval County, with which the city consolidated in 1968. It follows its own building code that covers fence installation regulations.
For rear and side yards, a non-masonry fence up to 6 feet in height is generally exempt from the building permit requirement in Jacksonville. Fences over 6 feet require a building permit. Pool barrier fences always require a permit. Properties in historic districts require additional review.

Duval County’s humid subtropical climate, 52 inches of annual rainfall, and a persistent hurricane season make fence choice difficult. Vinyl, aluminum, and SimTek Composite can handle Florida’s challenges. Pressure-treated wood works well, as long as you maintain it regularly. For a 100 linear foot fence installation, owners can expect a budget of about $1,800 to $5,800 depending on material, height, and site prep.
Why Choose Us
We build Jacksonville-approved fences that stay strong in tough weather and look great.
We know what works in Florida. Our 10,000 five-star reviews prove our reliable service.
Our fences are built with top-notch materials.
With Big Jerry’s Fencing, you know exactly where your project stands. No surprises along the way.
Not everyone can build fences in Florida. But we do. Our local knowledge and franchise-backed accountability ensure your fences are built right the first time.
Sturdy, beautiful, and reliable – that’s how we build a fence. We craft each fence with attention to detail to keep your property secure, private, and sharp season after season.
Gates take the hardest hit in Florida. We build ours with high-quality materials, commercial-grade hinges, reinforced frames, and proper alignment. Your gates are made to handle daily wear and tear.
Damaged fences are common in Florida. We offer repair for leaning posts, damaged panels, rotting wood, and rusted hardware, restoring your fence’s strength and appearance without a full replacement.
Aluminum offers an open-view profile packed with strength and elegance. Powder-coated aluminum resists the corrosion that salt air causes near the coast, making it a strong choice for waterfront lots and pool enclosures.
Vinyl doesn’t rot, doesn’t rust, and doesn’t care about 80% humidity. It’s become the default pick for many Duval County homeowners who’d rather rinse off a fence than reseal one every couple of years.
No fence material adds character quite like SimTek. It delivers a wood or stone finish with low upkeep and holds up against Florida’s weather tantrums.
We started with the simple goal of providing quality fences and providing for family. Our founder, Big Jerry, started building fences on weekends as a police officer. We’ve always valued protecting family and property.
Now we have grown to multiple states, but our mission is the same. We make buying fences quick and easy, so you can protect your loved ones and your investments.
