Few Staten Island neighborhoods have a backstory like Westerleigh’s. It began in 1887 as Prohibition Park, a temperance community, and some of its streets are still named for leaders of that movement, like Neal Dow and Clinton B. Fisk, or for states such as Maine and Ohio. The leftover parkland became Westerleigh Park, and the lots around it filled in with Victorian and Dutch-style homes. Today the neighborhood between Forest Avenue, Victory Boulevard, Jewett Avenue and Stewart Avenue is known for its tree-lined streets and well-kept older houses.
All Island Fence & Railing has more than 35 years of experience installing residential fences, and we work throughout the 10314 ZIP code. We take the time to design fences that respect an older home’s character and fit the realities of an established yard.
A house built a century ago deserves a fence that looks like it belongs there. On Westerleigh’s older blocks, that often means a classic picket fence along the front walk, or an ornamental aluminum fence that frames the porch without hiding it.
Our wood picket and privacy fences in cedar and spruce bring a natural, traditional look that suits Victorian and Dutch-style architecture. If you want the same look with less upkeep, PVC picket panels in white never need painting and won’t rot. We’ll show you samples side by side so you can compare how each one looks against your siding and trim.
Westerleigh’s big shade trees are a big part of its charm, but they make fence work trickier. Large roots can sit right where a post needs to go, and digging carelessly can damage the tree or leave a post that shifts later.
Our installers adjust post spacing to work around major roots, and we plan the fence line so it stays straight without harming the trees you want to keep. Many properties here also have an old chain link or wood fence that’s reached the end of its life. We take down the old fence, remove the old posts and install your new one, so the switch is quick and the yard is never left open for long.
With homes close together and plenty of dog owners walking to the park, a solid backyard fence is one of the most common projects we do in Westerleigh. A PVC privacy fence keeps pets in, keeps the yard private, and wipes clean with a garden hose. Choose from white, tan, gray and adobe colors, and add a matching gate wherever you need access.
For dog runs and side yards, chain link is a sturdy, budget-friendly option. For a front or side yard where you want to keep the view open, aluminum fencing gives you security with a clean, elegant profile.
Many Westerleigh homes have front porches and stoops with railings that have seen better days. We install aluminum railings and PVC railings for porches, steps and decks, and we can match them to your new fence for a finished look from the street.
We start with a free estimate at your home. We measure the property and talk through materials, height and gate placement. Your quote lists every detail in writing.
Before installation day, all public utility lines are marked, including electric, gas and water.
Our licensed and insured crew sets each post at the proper depth, hangs the panels, adjusts the gates, and cleans up before leaving.
Every fence we install is backed by our five-year labor warranty, and our PVC products carry a lifetime material warranty against manufacturer's defects.
A picket fence in wood or PVC, or an ornamental aluminum fence, usually looks best. Both keep the front of the house visible and match the detailing these homes are known for.
Yes. We adjust post spacing to avoid major roots and keep the fence line straight, so the tree stays healthy and the posts stay solid.
Absolutely. Swapping old chain link for a PVC privacy fence or a picket fence is one of our most common Westerleigh projects. We remove the old fence and posts as part of the job.
Wood gives you a natural look but needs staining or sealing every few years. PVC looks similar from the street, never needs painting and carries a lifetime material warranty against manufacturer’s defects. We’ll show you both at the estimate.
We also install fences across Staten Island’s North Shore, including the St. George area.
