Franklin Pierce is a densely residential area southeast of Tacoma, made up of established neighborhoods, single-family homes on modest lots, and a growing number of homeowners who are putting real money into their properties.
If you’re searching for the best local fence company to handle a project here, Goodrow’s Fence & Deck has been serving this part of Pierce County since 2006. We are a veteran-owned, owner-operated contractor based in Spanaway, and we know this corner of the county well.
Why Franklin Pierce Homeowners Need a Reliable Fence Contractor
The neighborhoods in and around Franklin Pierce sit close to some of Tacoma’s busiest corridors. Homes along the 72nd Street and Pacific Avenue stretches see real traffic, and backyard privacy is not a luxury here. It is a practical need. Families with kids or dogs need containment they can count on.
Homeowners near higher-density commercial zones want a clear boundary between their property and the street. HOA requirements in some Franklin Pierce subdivisions add another layer, with specific rules around fence height and material. A fence contractor who understands what Pierce County requires is worth more than one who shows up with a standard quote and no local knowledge.
We build cedar fencing, vinyl fencing, ornamental iron fencing, chain link fencing, composite, farm, and split rail options. Whatever the property calls for, we will walk you through the choices at your free on-site estimate.
Fence Installation in Franklin Pierce: What to Expect
The lots in Franklin Pierce vary. Some are flat and straightforward. Others have grade changes near the back of the property or tree roots close to where posts need to go. We do a proper site visit before any work begins. Not a phone estimate. Not a ballpark based on square footage. You get a real number based on your actual property.
Our crew handles the full installation from post-setting to final panel, and we bring temporary dog kennels on-site at no charge if you have pets that need to stay contained while we work. We also handle driveway gate installations for homeowners who need vehicle access control alongside their fence.
Gates, Decks, and Full-Project Builds
Some homeowners in Franklin Pierce come to us for a fence. Others need a fence and a gate, or a fence and a new deck built at the same time. We handle all of it under one contract. One estimate, one crew, one point of contact from start to finish.
For automated gate systems, we install LiftMaster motors with keypad, remote, and intercom options in both swing and sliding configurations. For decks, pergolas, and outdoor carpentry, we build in cedar, pressure-treated lumber, and composite. Bundling projects saves time and removes the coordination headache that comes with managing two separate contractors.

About Franklin Pierce
Franklin Pierce is an unincorporated community in Pierce County, WA, located just south of Tacoma along the Pacific Avenue corridor. The area is named after the 14th President of the United States and sits within the broader Parkland-Spanaway urban growth area.
It is a largely residential community with a mix of older established homes and newer construction, close to shopping along 72nd Street and within reach of major routes including Highway 7 and Interstate 5. The area’s proximity to Joint Base Lewis-McChord means a significant population of active duty military and veteran households.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you serve the Franklin Pierce area of Pierce County?
Yes. Goodrow’s Fence & Deck serves Franklin Pierce and the surrounding communities in Pierce and Thurston County. We are based in Spanaway, which puts us close to the Franklin Pierce area for both estimates and installations.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Pierce County?
Permit requirements in Pierce County depend on fence height and where the fence sits on your property. Automated driveway gates require a separate permit. We are familiar with the current county requirements and will advise you during the estimate visit.
Can you handle a fence and a gate as one project?
Yes. We scope and install fencing and gate systems under a single contract. You work with one crew from start to finish, and the materials are matched from the beginning rather than having two contractors try to meet in the middle.
What fence materials work best in Western Washington’s wet climate?
Both cedar and vinyl perform well in Pierce County’s climate. Cedar gives you more style options and a natural look, but needs periodic sealing to hold up long-term. Vinyl requires almost no maintenance and will not rot or warp. We will walk you through the tradeoffs based on your property and budget at your free estimate.
