Fence Installation & Repair services in Cleveland Heights
The Heights sit on the high ground east of Cleveland, and the climb matters for a fence. Lake-effect snow is deeper up here than down by the river, and it lies against the boards for weeks. Most houses were built between about 1900 and 1930, with slate roofs, detached garages at the end of a long driveway and big trees along every lot line. Roots are the main thing we dig around, and we move a post before we cut a large one. Brooks such as Dugway and Doan run under or beside some yards, so a few lots drop away at the back. Owners here care about how a fence looks from the street. Cedar, simple picket and black ornamental metal are common picks, and the city does not allow chain link in a front yard.

Permits and local rules
Cleveland Heights requires a fence permit approved by the Building Commissioner, under section 1121.12 of its Zoning Code. Fences may be up to 6 feet in side and rear yards and 4 feet in the primary front yard. A fence in a front yard needs approval from the Architectural Board of Review, and chain link, mesh, wire and barbed wire are not allowed there. The posts and rails go on the inside.
