HOA and condo associations
Community fence replacement for HOAs and condo associations.
Perimeter fences, precast walls, automated gates and access control, planned around how a board actually decides: options it can compare, payments it can inspect, and a perimeter that never stands open.
What this is
What an association fence project with Allday covers.
Allday Fence replaces community fences for homeowner, townhouse and condominium associations across Miami-Dade County. That covers wood privacy and post-and-rail fences, galvanized steel privacy fence, black aluminum ornamental fence, precast concrete perimeter walls, and automated gate and access-control systems. Allday holds Miami-Dade CTQB Certificate of Competency #08BS00863 and has been licensed since 2008.
Each project comes to the board as a written proposal: the full scope, what the association provides, a milestone payment schedule, and a phased construction plan. Proposals are prepared by Roger Moreno, account executive, and Victor Moreno, owner and qualifying agent, with 20 years of experience in South Florida fencing and construction.
Why community fence projects stall.
A community fence is not a big residential fence. It crosses common areas and private lots, it needs a board vote, and the whole community lives with the job while it runs. These are the four places it usually goes wrong.
The permit question nobody asked
When the County or city requires a permit for each property instead of one community permit, every affected owner has to sign before work can be filed. Discovered mid-project, that stops the job while someone goes door to door. We collect authorizations during pre-construction, before anything comes down.
A perimeter left open
Tearing out the whole fence at once leaves the community unsecured for weeks. We replace it in sections of roughly 700 feet and finish each section before opening the next.
Paid before it's finished
A contractor paid in full before the final inspection has little reason to come back for the punch list. We hold the final payment until the punch list is closed and the final inspection is approved.
A vote with nothing to compare
One bid with one option leaves the board guessing. When the board is choosing between configurations, each one is priced as its own complete proposal with identical terms.
How a phased community replacement runs.
This is the plan from a recent proposal for a 5,000-linear-foot community perimeter: a planned schedule, not a completed job. Actual timing depends on permit issuance, weather and material availability.
| Stage | What happens | Planned timing |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-construction | Boundary survey, permit filing, materials order, owner signatures if per-lot permits are required | Weeks 1 to 3 |
| Sections 1 to 7 | About 715 linear feet each: remove the old fence, set new posts in fresh concrete beside the old footings, install the fence, clean up, then move on | Weeks 4 to 13 |
| Final walkthrough | Walk the full run with the association's representative and close the punch list | Week 14 |
What we install for associations.
Wood privacy and post-and-rail
Board-on-board privacy fence, lake and tract perimeter ranch rail, and townhouse privacy fence with individual rear-yard gates.
Galvanized steel privacy fence
DuraFence galvanized steel posts, rails and full-height slats, screwed at every connection and powder-coated, for long community runs.
Black aluminum ornamental
Welded aluminum fence and gates for entrances, amenity areas and condominium perimeters.
Precast concrete perimeter walls
Cast stone face, sealed structural drawings for the permit, finished in the community's color. Walls that serve as fences only.
Automated gates and access control
Vehicular and pedestrian gates, call boxes, photo eyes, battery backup, and cellular visitor calls with no landline.
Repairs and storm damage
Section replacement and gate repair on existing community fences.
What drives the price.
Every association proposal is priced from a field take-off of the actual run. The things that move the number most:
- Linear footage and material. Wood, galvanized steel, aluminum and precast concrete differ widely per foot.
- Gates and access control. Each vehicular opening with operators and a call box is its own line item.
- Removal of the existing fence. Haul-off and disposal, or staging for County bulk pickup.
- Survey and permit fees. Whether they are included in the price or paid by the association at actual is stated in the proposal.
- Electrical for gates. Power to each gate location is by a licensed electrician and quoted separately.
Common questions
What people ask before they call.
Will our community be left without a fence while the work is done?
No. A long community perimeter is replaced in sections of roughly 700 linear feet. Each section is fully finished (old fence removed, new posts set, fence complete, area cleaned) before the next one is opened. The board sets the order and the direction of travel with us before we mobilize, so residents in upcoming sections get advance notice.
Our fence runs along dozens of individual lots. Who handles the permit?
We prepare and file the permit. If Miami-Dade County or the city requires a separate permit for each property instead of one community permit, each affected owner has to sign an authorization so we can apply on their behalf. We build that signature collection into the pre-construction phase, so it is handled before the first section comes down instead of stalling the project halfway.
How are payments structured?
Payments are tied to milestones the association inspects and accepts before the next payment is due: for example, materials on site, posts set, a building or section complete. The final payment is held until the punch list is closed and the final inspection is approved by the city or County.
Can the board compare more than one option?
Yes. When a board is weighing a choice, we price each configuration as its own complete proposal with identical scope and terms, so the only difference is the one the board is deciding. Boards have compared 2-rail against 3-rail post-and-rail fences and wood board-on-board against galvanized steel privacy fence this way.
Who determines where the property line is?
The association identifies the fence alignment it wants. We can furnish the boundary survey the permit requires, and each proposal states whether the survey is included or priced as a separate item. A survey supports the permit; we do not guarantee legal property lines, so the association should confirm the line before installation.
Are permit fees included in the price?
It depends on the project, and each proposal says so in writing. Some of our association proposals include every permit fee in a single turnkey price; others have the association pay the city or County fees at actual cost. Either way you see it before you sign, not on an invoice afterward.
Do you install automated gates and access control for condominiums?
Yes: automated vehicular swing gates, access-controlled pedestrian gates, call boxes with keypad and camera, safety photo eyes for entrapment protection, and control panels with battery backup. Visitor calls can run over a cellular access controller, so no landline is needed. Bringing electrical power to each gate location is done by a licensed electrician and is quoted separately.
Can you replace a community fence with a concrete wall?
Yes. Allday's license covers concrete walls and columns that serve as fences. We install precast concrete perimeter walls with a cast stone face, including the signed and sealed structural drawings the permit requires, removal of the old fence, and finish paint in the color the community chooses. We do not build retaining walls or structural building walls.
What warranty do you give associations?
A one-year workmanship warranty from the date of substantial completion, stated in the contract.
