Wood Fence Installation in Lantana, FL
Lantana sits roughly a mile from the Atlantic in Palm Beach County. It's known for small older beach-town homes close to the Intracoastal. That mix shapes how we approach wood fence installation here — below is what actually matters for wood fences on a Lantana property.
Why Lantana homeowners choose us
Lantana is a small coastal town in Palm Beach County sitting between the Intracoastal and the ocean, with a mix of older cottages, CBS ranch homes, and a laid-back beach-town feel around Ocean Avenue. Homes near the water contend with salt air and humidity, making wood rot repair, door and window installs, and solid deck work a regular ask. We frame, run trim and crown molding, build custom built-ins, repair drywall, and paint to finish. Family-owned and insured since 2004.
What wood fences in Lantana actually involves
Local conditions change the job. Here's what's specific to Lantana, Palm Beach County.
Wind-borne debris requirements
Lantana fences still have to meet Florida wind-load requirements for post embedment and spacing, even outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Under-set posts are the reason so many fences here lean after one storm season.
Salt-air exposure in Lantana
Lantana sits about a mile from the ocean, where salt shortens the life of both the wood and the hardware. Sealing on all six sides — including the cut ends and the buried section — is what buys the extra years.
Permits and inspections
Fences are permitted in Florida, and because Lantana is incorporated it sets its own rules on maximum height, allowed materials, and how far the fence can sit from the property line. We check the current local code before we quote.
Acreage and equestrian properties
Lantana's acreage properties often need paddock, ranch-rail, and perimeter fencing rather than residential privacy fence — different posts, different spans, different gates.

“We've had many great experiences with Carlos at JC Painting General Home Repair. They painted several areas in our home, installed new flooring, updated bathroom tiles and also took care of many repairs, and everything turned out beautifully. Professional and detail-oriented — he really took the time to make sure everything looked perfect. We'll definitely be calling them again.”
“Beautiful work and strong work ethic. Painted 4 bathrooms and two bedrooms (including replacement of baseboards and moldings), along with the exterior front face of home. Trustworthy, reliable, and efficient, to the point that I allowed him to complete the job while I was out of town. I will definitely use this company for all my future painting and carpentry needs!”

Wood Fence Installation in Lantana — FAQs
Do I need a permit for wood fences in Lantana, FL?+
In most cases, yes. Lantana is an incorporated municipality, so the permit is filed with the local building authority rather than through the county. We confirm the jurisdiction, pull the permit, and manage the inspections as part of the job.
Does being close to the ocean change wood fences in Lantana?+
Significantly. Lantana is about a mile from the Atlantic, and salt-laden air corrodes fasteners and hardware and keeps exterior wood damp far longer than it stays damp inland. We spec corrosion-resistant hardware and coatings for Lantana properties rather than treating it like an inland job.
Which parts of Lantana do you serve?+
All of Lantana, including Hypoluxo Island, Sea Pines and Moorings. JC General Painting also covers nearby South Palm Beach, Hypoluxo and Manalapan.
How long does a wood fence last in Florida?+
A pressure-treated wood fence that's properly sealed can last 15–20 years in South Florida. We stain and seal to protect against sun and moisture.
