Royersford Fence Company is a fence contracting business based at 1502 Fawn Ln in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, serving property owners across Montgomery County, Chester County, Berks County and the surrounding communities of the greater Philadelphia suburbs. The company handles residential and light commercial fencing work, including new installation, replacement of aging fence lines, gate work and repairs. It can be reached by phone at +1 610-564-1142 or through its website at royersford.com's fencing portal, royersfordfence.com, where prospective customers can request information about a project.
The business operates as a smaller, owner-involved contracting outfit rather than a large regional franchise. Joe Moskow, the owner, is directly involved in the estimating process and is frequently on site during installations. Office coordination and scheduling are handled in house, and installation work is carried out by dedicated crews, including a team led by a crew leader named Luis. This structure means that the person who designs a fence layout during the initial site visit is typically the same person accountable for how it turns out once the posts are in the ground.
Services and Fencing Types
Royersford Fence Company works with the full range of materials common to residential fencing in southeastern Pennsylvania. Typical project types include:
- Vinyl and PVC privacy fencing, including solid panel and semi-private styles
- Wood fencing such as stockade, board on board, picket and split rail
- Aluminum ornamental fencing, often chosen for pool enclosures and front yard boundaries
- Chain link fencing for yards, side lots, kennels and utility areas
- Agricultural and pasture fencing, including enclosures for livestock and smaller animals
- Gates of various widths, including walk gates, double drive gates and custom hardware configurations
- Repairs to existing fences, including post replacement, panel replacement, gate realignment and latch and hardware work
- Removal and disposal of old fencing prior to new installation
Because the company handles both full installations and small repair calls, it fills a niche that larger contractors often decline. Replacing two rotted posts or rehanging a sagging gate is not a job that every fencing company will schedule, and Royersford's willingness to take on those smaller tasks has become part of its reputation in the area. The same applies to difficult sites. Sloped lots, rocky ground, wooded property lines and irregular boundaries all add labor and planning to a fence job, and the company regularly works on terrain that complicates a standard layout.
Pet Containment and Custom Layouts
A significant portion of the company's residential work involves fencing designed around animals. Dog owners make up a large share of the customer base, and projects frequently center on containment challenges: dogs that dig, dogs that climb, dogs that squeeze through gaps at the base of a fence line, and dogs that test gate latches. Solutions can involve adjusting panel height, closing ground clearance, adding secondary barriers at problem points, selecting specific picket spacing, or reconfiguring gate hardware so it cannot be nosed open.
The company also balances containment with appearance. Many homeowners want a secure enclosure without turning the yard into a visual box, so layouts often combine materials or use open styles like aluminum or split rail with mesh backing in areas where sightlines matter. Beyond dogs, the company has taken on pasture fencing for goats and other small livestock, which involves different spacing and reinforcement considerations than standard residential work.
The Estimate and Project Process
Projects generally begin with a site visit and a free estimate. During that visit, the property is walked, the intended fence line is discussed, and the reasons behind the project are talked through, whether that is privacy from a neighboring lot, pool code compliance, containing an animal, marking a property boundary or simply replacing a fence that has reached the end of its service life. Rather than presenting a single option, the company typically outlines several material and layout possibilities at different price points so the homeowner can weigh cost against appearance and longevity.
Online estimates are available as a service option, which is useful for straightforward replacement projects or for customers gathering preliminary numbers before committing to a site visit. Onsite services are the standard for most jobs, since accurate measurement and terrain assessment usually require someone physically on the property.
Once a project is scheduled, installation is often completed quickly, with many residential jobs finished in a single working day, including removal and haul-away of the previous fence. Longer runs and more complex layouts naturally take more time, but the company is known for tight scheduling and for not leaving projects half finished across multiple weeks. Site cleanup at the end of the job is treated as part of the work rather than an afterthought.
Practical Information
Customers considering a fence project in Pennsylvania should be aware of a few practical matters that the company can help navigate:
- Utility marking through PA One Call is required before digging post holes, and this step should be accounted for in the project timeline.
- Many municipalities in Montgomery and Chester Counties require permits for fence installation, and height limits often differ between front, side and rear yards.
- Homeowners association rules may restrict materials, colors and styles in planned communities.
- Pool enclosures are subject to specific code requirements covering height, spacing and self-closing, self-latching gates.
- Property line confirmation matters. A recent survey or clearly marked pins prevent disputes and rework.
The business offers language assistance in Spanish, which makes the estimating and scheduling process accessible to a broader range of households in the region. It is also listed as LGBTQ+ friendly and as a transgender safe space.
Standing in the Community
Royersford Fence Company's position in the local market rests less on advertising than on referral and repeat work. Customers who start with a small repair frequently return for larger projects, and the company maintains contact with past clients after installation, addressing hardware issues and adjustments that surface once a fence has been through a season or two of use. For homeowners in the Pottstown, Royersford, Phoenixville, Collegeville and Limerick areas comparing bids, the company is commonly one of several quotes gathered, and it tends to be competitive on price relative to the quality of materials and labor delivered.
