Fence Installation & Repair services in Kent
Kent is across the county line in Portage County, a college town built along the upper Cuyahoga River. Near downtown and the Kent State campus, many houses are century-old frame homes, and a good number are rentals. Owners there want fence that is sturdy, simple and easy to fix after a rough weekend, and they often need to mark a line between a rental and an owner-occupied house next door. Away from campus, toward the south and west sides, the streets turn to postwar houses with larger family yards. The river valley gives parts of town a slope and a high water table, and the ground under the hills is glacial sand and gravel in places, so holes can cave as they are dug. We sleeve or widen those holes so the footing is sound.

Permits and local rules
The City of Kent requires a zoning permit before a fence is put up, and its Community Development Department issues it. Kent is in Portage County, so the offices differ from those in Summit County. We confirm the height and placement rules with city staff.
