Carolina Fence Company, a family-owned fence and gate contractor led by owner Alex Buckman, has made emergency storm and hurricane repair available to property owners across South Carolina’s Lowcountry as the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June through November, gets underway. The company operates from offices in Charleston and Summerville and serves the surrounding tri-county region.
Storm damage is a recurring concern for coastal fencing, where high winds and saturated soil can loosen posts and break panels during a single weather event. Carolina Fence Company keeps emergency hurricane and storm repair on its standing service menu throughout the season and also provides fence tear-out and disposal for property owners replacing systems that are damaged beyond repair.
The coastal environment tests fencing well before any named storm arrives. Salt air and steady humidity work on metal hardware and fasteners year-round, and prolonged moisture places added strain on wood and on the footings that hold a fence upright. Accounting for those conditions in both material choice and installation is what separates a fence that survives a rough season from one that fails at its weakest point.
Alongside repair work, the company installs fencing selected for coastal conditions. Its wood program is built around YellaWood pressure-treated lumber, which is manufactured to resist fungal decay and termite damage, while property owners moving away from wood can choose Trex composite, vinyl, aluminum, ornamental iron, or chain link. Steel and pipe fencing draws on Maner and SPS Fencing, and regional styles such as the Charleston-style privacy fence and the Summers Corner fence remain common requests across Lowcountry neighborhoods.
“Storm season is when fences get tested, and we want Lowcountry property owners to know help is available when damage happens,” said Alex Buckman, owner of Carolina Fence Company. “Our focus is matching the right materials and installation to the coast so a fence holds up before the next storm arrives.”
Installation begins with a site assessment and the permitting required by the local jurisdiction, followed by excavation and post setting. Proper post setting carries added weight in the Lowcountry, where sandy and variable soils and a high water table affect how firmly a fence is anchored and how well it stands up to wind and weather over time. The company handles site preparation as part of the process and provides a written estimate before work begins.
“A fence is only as strong as the posts underneath it, and coastal soil does not forgive shortcuts,” Buckman said. “We set every project up to last in the conditions it actually has to live in.”
The company also fabricates and installs gates for residential and commercial properties. Residential options include swing, slide, cantilever, bi-fold, pedestrian, decorative, and retractable styles, while commercial projects add vertical pivot, rolling, chain link, and wire mesh systems, built in aluminum, wood, vinyl, and chain link to match the adjoining fence. Safety feature installation and permitting assistance are part of each gate project.
Fence maintenance rounds out the company’s services, with staining, painting, and sealing available to extend the life of existing fences between installations. Combined with repair and replacement, that maintenance work allows the company to support a fence across its full life rather than at the point of installation alone.
Carolina Fence Company is a member of the American Fence Association and holds an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau. The company is fully insured, and its installations carry a three-year workmanship warranty, with YellaWood lifetime limited coverage applying to qualifying lumber-based projects. Beyond its project work, the company sponsors the City of Charleston Girls Basketball Program at the James Island Recreation Complex.
