Service Areas: Professional Fence Installation Across the Greater Charleston Area
At DiCarlo Fence, we believe that a fence is more than just a boundary—it’s an investment in your home’s security, your family’s privacy, and the coastal curb appeal that makes the Lowcountry so special. From the historic streets of the Charleston Peninsula to the rapidly growing communities in Summerville and beyond, our team provides expert craftsmanship and locally-tested materials designed to thrive in the South Carolina climate.
Whether you are looking for the timeless elegance of a picket fence in the Old Village or a rugged, storm-ready aluminum enclosure on Folly Beach, DiCarlo Fence is the region’s trusted partner for residential and commercial fencing solutions.
Our Service Philosophy: Local Expertise, Family Values
As a family-owned and operated business, we don’t just work in these neighborhoods—we live in them. We understand that a fence in Mount Pleasant faces different environmental challenges than a fence in Moncks Corner. Between the corrosive salt air of the sea islands and the dense humidity of our inland pine forests, your fencing material needs to be selected with precision.
We take a “no-nonsense” approach to every project. This means:
- Transparent Estimates: No hidden fees or “coastal surcharges.”
- HOA Expertise: We help navigate the strict DRB and ARB requirements of communities like I’On, Nexton, and Daniel Island.
- Craftsmanship: We don’t just “slap up” panels; we ensure every post is set to the correct depth for our unique Lowcountry soil.
Fencing Solutions Tailored to Your Neighborhood
The Greater Charleston area is a patchwork of unique environments, and we offer a versatile range of materials to match every landscape:
Coastal-Grade Aluminum Fencing
For our clients on Isle of Palms, Sullivan’s Island, and James Island, aluminum is the gold standard. Our powder-coated aluminum fencing offers the sophisticated look of wrought iron without the risk of rust. It provides excellent wind resistance and is virtually maintenance-free, making it the perfect choice for beachfront properties and pool enclosures.
Premium Vinyl Privacy Fencing
In the bustling suburban hubs of North Charleston, Hanahan, and Goose Creek, vinyl is a top performer. It provides total seclusion for your backyard retreat and stands up to the South Carolina sun without fading or warping. It’s the ultimate “set it and forget it” solution for busy families.
Custom Wood Fencing
For the historic districts of Wagener Terrace or the rustic acreage of Hollywood and Ravenel, nothing beats the warmth of natural wood. We use high-grade, pressure-treated lumber and cedar to ensure your wood fence resists the rot and insect pressure common to our wooded regions.
A Glimpse of Our Products
The DiCarlo Installation Process: From Consultation to Completion
We believe that a great fence starts long before the first post hole is dug. Our process is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible for our neighbors in high-density areas like Avondale or Daniel Island.
- Site Evaluation & Utility Marking: We don’t just guess where your lines are. We perform a thorough site walk-through and ensure all underground utilities are marked—a critical step in older neighborhoods like St. Andrews and Wagener Terrace.
- Material Selection: Based on your specific micro-climate—whether you’re dealing with the salt spray of Folly Beach or the heavy shade of Summerville’s pines—we finalize the grade of aluminum, vinyl, or wood that will offer the longest lifespan.
- Precision Setting: In the Lowcountry, the water table can be high. We use professional-grade techniques to ensure posts are anchored deep enough to resist “leaning” during our frequent summer thunderstorms and tropical shifts.
- Final Walk-Through: We don’t consider the job done until the last gate latch is tested and the job site is pristine. We take pride in leaving your Carolina Park or Riverland Terrace property better than we found it.

Specialized Fencing Solutions for Lowcountry Homeowners
Different regions require different technical approaches. For our clients in Ravenel and Hollywood, we offer specialized agricultural and perimeter solutions that cover large acreage efficiently. Meanwhile, for our clients in I’On or The Crescent, we offer high-end “architectural” finishes that satisfy the most discerning design boards.
We also understand the specific pool safety codes required by the City of Charleston and Berkeley County. If you are installing a pool in Point Hope or Cainhoy, we ensure your fence height, gate swing, and latching mechanisms are 100% compliant with local safety ordinances, saving you from failed inspections and costly retrofits.
Why Choose DiCarlo Fence?
- We Know Your HOA
If you live in Daniel Island, Nexton, or Carolina Park, you know that getting a fence approved can be a headache. We maintain a database of local design guidelines. When we give you a quote, we ensure the height, material, and color are already “pre-vetted” for your specific neighborhood association. - Built for the Lowcountry Environment
We don’t use generic big-box store materials. Our aluminum is powder-coated to resist the salt air of Sullivan’s Island, and our wood is pressure-treated to withstand the heavy insect and moisture pressure of Johns Island and Summerville. - Professional, Local Crews
We aren’t a national franchise. We are a family-owned team that understands the local soil—from the sandy dunes of IOP to the heavy clay of Moncks Corner. We anchor our posts deeper and use higher-grade hardware to ensure your fence survives the next South Carolina storm season.
