Hurricane Fence Marks 3,143 Completed Projects in 2025

RICHMOND, VA – September 15, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

A Virginia Class A contractor license held without interruption since 1994, the state’s highest general contracting classification, backed another year of growth for Hurricane Fence in 2025, when the company completed 3,143 residential and commercial fencing projects across its Virginia and North Carolina offices. The total spans work for homeowners, general contractors, and government and industrial clients across four regional offices.

Hurricane Fence runs that volume through offices in Richmond and Portsmouth, Virginia, and in Dunn, North Carolina. Richmond crews closed out 1,392 residential jobs on their own in 2025, and the Portsmouth office added another 166, while commercial teams at every location carried perimeter fencing, gate, and access-control contracts for commercial contracting firms, government agencies, and industrial clients.

The 2025 total builds on a base that goes back three decades. Richmond alone has completed more than 20,000 projects since Hurricane Fence opened there in 1994, and the Portsmouth office has logged more than 5,000 since it began serving Hampton Roads. Combined, the company’s installation and gate crews carry more than 150 years of experience, spread across offices that now stretch from central Virginia to the North Carolina Triangle.

Residential work still accounts for a large share of the 2025 count, with crews most often installing vinyl or aluminum privacy fencing, the two materials the company steers homeowners toward because they resist the warping and cracking that untreated wood develops over time. Commercial and industrial jobs fill out the rest of the total, covering dumpster and generator enclosures, fencing around sports fields, and perimeter security work for general contractors, government agencies, and industrial sites. Hurricane Fence does not disclose the names of specific commercial clients or job sites, consistent with confidentiality requirements common to government and industrial contracting, so those totals are reported only in aggregate.

The same process standards apply whether a job is the first of the year or the 3,000th. A salesperson walks each property with the customer before a crew arrives, and someone follows up again after the work wraps to confirm it held up. Hurricane Fence also handles the required utility-marking calls, commonly known as Miss Utility requests, on every job, and pulls permits on the customer’s behalf before work begins. Concrete around each post cures for five to 10 days before installation continues, a scheduling step that adds time upfront but keeps posts from shifting later.

“The number that matters to me isn’t 3,143, it’s how many of those customers would let us back on their property for a second job,” said Mike Kelly, co-owner of Hurricane Fence.

A share of that commercial volume runs through the company’s in-house gate and access-control division, which designs and installs automated gates with its own crews instead of subcontracting the work, along with crash-rated barrier systems engineered to slow or stop a moving vehicle at a secured entrance. Hurricane Fence also holds a state small-business certification under Virginia’s SWaM program, which sets aside a share of government contracts for smaller in-state firms. The company’s Gold-level ratings from the contractor safety platforms Highwire and ConstructSecure score its jobsite safety record before agencies and commercial builders clear it to bid.

“Growth on paper is easy. Keeping the same standard on job 3,000 as job one is the actual work,” Kelly said.
