Lakewood, CO · Jefferson County
From Belmar blocks to Green Mountain gusts. Tell us where to send it, then the price.
Lakewood is older grids, steep Green Mountain streets, and the Belmar redevelopment all in one city. A fence on a slope is a different job than a fence on a flat Aurora tract, and the quote should know which map it opened.
Vetted and insured · 24/7 FenceOwl support
We only work with family-owned American companies. We believe they offer the best service at the best prices.
Contractors are licensed where the city requires it. Colorado does not license fence contractors statewide.

Every crew is vetted and insured.
And FenceOwl stays with you around the clock until the fence is finished. We're here to be your advocate and spokesperson with the contractor, and to make sure the whole process goes smoothly. These are company promises, not a contractor slogan.
Vetted
Every contractor is reviewed by FenceOwl before they can buy a job.
Insured
Liability insurance is required on every crew we match.
24/7 support
FenceOwl stays on the line with you, day or night, until the project is done.
One price
We take the negotiation out of hiring a fence contractor.
Answer a few quick questions, tell us where to send it, and see your price right away. Pre-vetted contractors already compete in the book, so the number you see is the price. No haggling. No back-and-forth bids.
Lakewood bids have a habit of changing once someone sees the grade. After you tell us where to send it, FenceOwl puts a competitive number up before that walk.

Lakewood height, setback, permit, and HOA notes
Confirm height, setbacks, permits, and HOA standards with your city and your association before anyone orders materials.
- Front yard
- Many Lakewood front yards are kept near 4 ft.
- Side and rear
- Side and rear runs are often discussed near 6 ft.
- Setback
- Slopes and corner sight lines matter as much as the property line. Do not assume a straight overlay from the photo.
- Permit
- Lakewood commonly expects a fence permit. Hillside and older plats deserve an extra look.
- HOA
- Some Green Mountain and Applewood filings have associations. Much of central Lakewood is unregulated by an HOA and still has city rules.
Also serves nearby: Wheat Ridge, Edgewater, Morrison. Searching one of those addresses recenters the map. The lead still counts under Lakewood.
Weather on this fence
What the climate asks of a Lakewood fence
West-metro lots take foothills gusts, especially above Green Mountain. Hail still reaches this side of town. South-facing cedar weathers faster where the slope tips the boards toward the sun.
Materials that fit
Stepped cedar or vinyl panels follow a Green Mountain grade better than one long rail that fights the hill. Flatter Belmar and Morse Park lots can take a standard privacy run.
The $ budget tier
These crews are carefully vetted for quality work and craftsmanship, but they use cheaper materials that don't carry a warranty and they won't warranty the work either. The product is good for an under 10 year timeline. Everyone still carries the necessary insurance and any license their city requires. Contractors at this tier may not accept credit cards or offer financing.
Fence styles for a Lakewood lot
Cedar dog-ear is the standard option. Craftsman cedar is the upgraded privacy style, on the higher budgets. Chain link is galvanized or black vinyl-coated, at 4 ft, 5 ft, and 6 ft, with the same walk and drive gates. Wood picket, vinyl, composite, aluminum, iron, and custom include 4 ft, 5 ft, and 6 ft. Split rail is an open wood post-and-rail fence, about 4 ft as 2-rail or 3-rail, with optional wire mesh. Answer a few quick questions, tell us where to send it, and see your price right away.

Your price, right away
The range and the itemized quote show on the next screen, and a copy is emailed. You can book a visit when the job matches. FenceOwl support stays available 24/7. You do not pay on the site.
The map opens centered on Lakewood with satellite imagery and street labels. Your street address recenters it. A line on that photo is not the property line: the contractor confirms it from a survey or plat and calls 811 before digging. The contractor desk records this city funnel on the lead.
Lakewood questions
Can the satellite drawing handle a Green Mountain slope?
The line measures horizontal footage. A steep run can need stepped panels and more posts. The quote is an estimate until the crew sees the grade.
Is Belmar under a different review than a 1970s subdivision?
It can be. Treat any design district or association as its own approval, separate from the notes on this page.
Does starting here lock the crew to Lakewood?
It records the Lakewood funnel on the lead and centers the map. The matched contractor still has to cover the address you enter.
