Chester County, PA
FULL COUNTY COVERAGE — 2 LOCAL OFFICES
Chester County is the second-largest county in southeastern Pennsylvania by land area — a mix of established boroughs, newer township developments, estate properties, and rural lots that span a wide range of fence needs and permit environments.
JHL Fence Company covers it from two local offices. Our West Chester office at 701 S Franklin St serves the central and northern corridor — West Chester, Exton, Downingtown, Malvern, Thorndale, and beyond. Our Kennett Square office serves the southern corridor — Kennett Square, Mendenhall, Unionville, Avondale, and the Chester-Delaware border communities.
Every installation across Chester County: permitted, property-line confirmed, posts in concrete at frost depth, galvanized hardware throughout.

CHESTER COUNTY PERMIT NOTES
Chester County contains dozens of separate municipalities — the Borough of West Chester, Kennett Square Borough, and more than 70 townships each maintaining their own permit processes for fence installation.
JHL Fence Company researches and pulls permits across all of them. We know which townships require pre-approval drawings, which have HOA overlay districts, and which have strict right-of-way setbacks. Permit research and filing is included in every estimate — not an add-on.
FENCE CONTRACTOR FAQS — CHESTER COUNTY, PA
Does JHL service all of Chester County?
Yes. With offices in West Chester and Kennett Square, we cover the full county — central, northern, and southern Chester County.
How are Chester County fence permits handled?
Each municipality handles its own permits. JHL researches requirements and pulls permits for all Chester County municipalities — you don't need to manage the process.
What fence material is best for Chester County's climate?
Chester County's freeze/thaw cycle means posts must be set in concrete at frost depth. Cedar, aluminum, and vinyl all perform well in this climate. Cedar requires periodic maintenance; aluminum and vinyl are essentially maintenance-free.
