The SHLY Promise

Three words have driven this company since day one: Simple. Affordable. Reliable.

They show up in how we quote, how we install, and how we follow up five years later when you call us back to add a section.

Simple

Four-step process from first quote to final walkthrough. One project manager. One installation crew. One warranty. We don't subcontract the install to whoever's free that week — your team is on the job from sign-off through cleanup.

Affordable

Direct dealer relationships with Trex, TimberTech, AZEK, and Ideal Fence let us pass real pricing through to homeowners. Free in-home quote, transparent line items, financing available on full deck builds. No surprise change orders mid-project.

Reliable

Licensed, bonded, and insured. Every fence and deck we install is backed by both manufacturer warranty (up to limited lifetime on composite) and our own SHLY workmanship guarantee. Customers know our crew leaders by name — Jeff, Pavel, Luis — and so will you.

Fence Installation

Three fence materials. One install crew. Every project warrantied.

We're one of the few regional contractors that installs vinyl, wood, and aluminum in-house — so the quote you get is honest about which material is actually right for your yard, your HOA, and your budget.

Vinyl Fence

Privacy + virtually maintenance-free

Vinyl Fence Installation

Vinyl is the highest-volume fence we install — and for good reason. Color is embedded in the material so it never needs paint or stain. Posts are weatherproof and set in concrete to prevent leaning, rotting, or rusting. Panels are dense enough to take a soccer ball or a snowblade without cracking. Available in full privacy, semi-privacy, spindle top, closed picket, and scalloped picket — in 4, 5, and 6-foot heights.

  • 5 styles · 3 heights · multiple colors
  • UV-resistant, won't yellow or fade
  • Pet- and pool-safe options available
  • HOA-friendly profiles in stock

Wood Fence

Classic privacy with natural warmth

Wood Fence Installation

When customers want a fence that looks and feels like part of the landscape, wood still wins. We install KDAT (kiln-dried after treatment) lumber to dramatically reduce the warping and cupping that show up on cheaper pressure-treated boards. Choose from stockade, shadowbox, board-on-board, picket, and horizontal modern profiles. Pre-stain finishing available to extend the life of the fence by years.

  • 5 styles · stockade to modern horizontal
  • KDAT lumber to fight warping
  • Stain & seal options at install
  • True 6-ft privacy with full board-on-board

Aluminum Fence

Decorative, durable, pool code-compliant

Aluminum Fence Installation

Aluminum is the right call for pool enclosures, decorative front yards, and HOA properties that need a clean architectural line. Our aluminum is powder-coated, rust-proof, corrosion-resistant, and rated for the freeze-thaw cycles common in Northeast Ohio and Western PA. We carry 2-rail, 3-rail, puppy picket, and extended picket designs in 4, 5, and 6-foot heights — fully pool code-compliant configurations available.

  • Powder-coated · rust- and corrosion-proof
  • Pool code-compliant configurations
  • 4 picket designs · 3 heights
  • No staining, sealing, or repainting — ever
Custom Deck Builds

Decks engineered to outlast the next homeowner.

We design and build decks for the long haul — multi-level composites, custom rail systems, integrated lighting, pergolas, and outdoor kitchens. Every plan is drawn by an in-house architect and built by SHLY's own crew, not subcontracted out.

Authorized dealer for Trex, TimberTech, AZEK, TruNorth, Deckorators, Maverick, and Viewrail — meaning you get manufacturer-trained installers, full warranty backing, and pricing better than the big-box stores.

Composite Decking

Trex, TimberTech, AZEK, and TruNorth — full color and texture range, with up to 95% recycled content options. CoolDeck technology runs up to 35° cooler than traditional composites in summer.

In-house Architect

Custom plans, structural engineering, and 3D visualization handled by Jeff, our staff architect — not outsourced. Especially valuable on multi-tier decks, wraparounds, and code-tricky lots.

Diamond Pier Foundations

No-dig precast pier foundations engineered for decks. Faster install, lifetime warranty, and dramatically less impact on your yard than poured footings.

Integrated Lighting

Step lights, post caps, and rail lighting installed during the build — wired clean inside the framing instead of run after the fact. Extend deck use into the evening, year-round.

Patio & Deck Covers

Reclaim your backyard from rain, sun, and freeze-thaw.

Ohio and Western PA weather doesn't make outdoor living easy — but the right cover does. We design and build pergolas, patio covers, and deck-mounted shade structures that let your family use the deck in July heat, October drizzle, and shoulder-season windstorms.

  • Pergolas

    Fixed and louvered pergolas in aluminum and composite — built into a new deck or added on top of an existing one. Optional motorized louvers, integrated lighting, and weather-rated finishes.

  • Solid patio covers

    Full-roof patio covers that turn an open patio into all-season outdoor living. Tied into existing rooflines or freestanding, with skylights, fans, and lighting baked into the design.

  • ACRYLITE acrylic panels

    Translucent acrylic roofing that blocks UV and resists yellowing for life. Lets natural light through while keeping the rain off your patio set, grill, and family.

What Customers Say

5,000+ projects. 200+ five-star reviews. Same crew you'd recommend to your neighbor.

Customers consistently mention our team members by name — Pavel, Jeff, Alyssa, Luis. That kind of word-of-mouth doesn't happen unless the install crew actually shows up on time and does the work right.

“Pavel and his crew were incredible. They walked us through the whole vinyl privacy fence install, came in on the original quote, and were finished in a day and a half. Yard looks better than the day we moved in.”

“Jeff the architect drew up something we hadn't even thought of for our second-story deck. Trex composite, custom railing, integrated lights — looks like it cost twice what SHLY quoted. Six months in, no issues at all.”
Michael R.
Wexford, PA
Verified Customer
“Got three quotes for an aluminum pool fence. SHLY wasn't the cheapest, but Alyssa was the only one who actually understood the pool code in our township. Permits, install, final inspection — they handled it all.”
Jennifer K.

Verified Customer
“We had a board-on-board cedar fence put in last fall. Through one of the worst winters I can remember, every panel still looks like it did the day they finished. Worth every dollar to do it once and do it right.”

Frequently Asked

Everything you'd ask before signing.

Pricing depends entirely on linear footage, material (vinyl, wood, aluminum, composite), and site conditions like grading, fence removal, and HOA requirements. Our free in-home quote gives you a transparent line-item estimate — no high-pressure pricing tricks. Most homeowners find SHLY priced competitively against the big franchises while delivering a meaningfully better install.

Most residential fence projects install in 1–2 days once materials are on site. Standard composite or wood decks usually take 5–10 days. Custom multi-tier decks, pergolas, and outdoor kitchens run 2–4 weeks. Your project manager gives you a firm window before any work starts and updates you if anything changes.

Yes. We pull permits across 40+ municipalities in Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, and we'll prepare and submit HOA paperwork on your behalf. We know which townships require setbacks, which HOAs require black-only aluminum, and how to keep approvals from holding up your build.

You get two layers of protection. First, the manufacturer warranty on materials — up to limited lifetime on premium composite decking, multi-decade coverage on most vinyl and aluminum profiles. Second, our SHLY workmanship guarantee on the installation itself, so if anything we built fails, we come back and fix it.

Yes — and we're happy to send certificates before any project. We're licensed where required across Ohio and Pennsylvania, fully bonded, and carry both general liability and workers' comp coverage. You should never hire a contractor who can't produce that paperwork on request.

Yes. We've partnered with home-improvement financing providers to offer monthly payment plans, especially helpful on full deck builds and combined fence/patio cover projects. Your project consultant can run options during your free quote — no commitment to use it.

That's exactly what we engineer for. Frost-line foundations on every deck, weatherproof posts set in concrete on every fence, KDAT lumber on wood projects, and powder-coated aluminum that won't rust through. We've been installing in this climate for 22 years — we know what fails.
