Auburn Fencing Services: Fence Installation, Repair and Replacement
We handle the full range of fencing needs for Auburn’s residential and commercial properties, and every material is quoted flat and in writing. The City reports that 67% of Auburn housing units are detached single-family homes and that 75% of the housing stock was more than 30 years old, which is why repair and full replacement sit right alongside new installation on most of our Auburn schedules.
Wood Fences and Good Neighbor Fences
A wood fence gives you privacy and natural beauty at an affordable price, and wood fence installation is still the most requested job on our Auburn schedule. We build picket and privacy styles, and redwood stays popular for its color and grain. A straight new fence line also does more for curb appeal than almost anything else out front. On a shared property line, California gives adjacent owners equal responsibility for a boundary fence, so we’ll walk the good neighbor fence conversation with you before anything comes down.
Vinyl Fencing: A Low Maintenance Fencing Solution
A vinyl fence requires virtually no maintenance, which appeals to Auburn homeowners tired of staining wood every few summers. Vinyl holds its finish, resists moisture and cleans with a hose, and it’s one of the more forgiving fencing options in a climate that swings from soaking wet to very hot. If you want the look of wood with less upkeep, composite fences combine recycled wood fibers with polymers for added durability.
Wrought Iron Fence Installation and Ornamental Iron Fences
A wrought iron fence adds to your property’s security without blocking a view, a real advantage on Old Town-adjacent lots and properties looking toward the canyon. Iron is durable and elegant, and because metal is noncombustible, wrought iron is often the right answer where a fence meets the house. Auburn requires at least five feet of noncombustible material where a combustible fence or gate touches or runs perpendicular to a structure. We also build custom designs when a stock panel doesn’t match your aesthetic goals.
Durabond Steel, Chain Link Fence and Bolt-Up Hidden Steel Posts
Durabond steel is our high-security option, and steel holds up well on commercial lots and industrial sites. A chain link fence stays the affordable, practical choice for dog runs, side yards and work areas, and chain link goes up fast when you need to secure a property quickly. Our Bolt-Up Hidden Steel Posts give you a clean wood face with steel strength underneath, which is what prevents leaning posts after Auburn’s wet winters soften the ground.
Pool Safety Fencing and Retaining Walls
Pool safety fencing is a regulated category we install regularly, and co-founder Steve Kempster brought 20 years of pool safety fencing experience into this company. We also build retaining walls and fence-on-wall combinations, common on sloped Auburn lots. USDA describes Auburn-series soils as occurring on slopes from 2% to 75% with rock outcrops common, so fence height gets measured where the fence meets the wall.
Automatic Gate Installation, Gate Openers and Driveway Gates
Automated gates add security and daily convenience to Auburn driveways. We install automated slide and swing gates, solar powered and electric gate openers, keypads and LOOP sensors, plus gate repair and service on systems we didn’t install. A solar powered gate opener is often the perfect solution where running power to the driveway gets expensive. A driveway gate takes more planning than a fence run, since power, slope, swing clearance and safety sensors all factor in, and the system should be serviced at least once a year.
Commercial Fences for Business Properties and Agricultural Land
For commercial fences we install commercial iron, chain link, corrugated metal, dumpster enclosures, post replacement and access control systems at the gate. Access control matters most where staff, deliveries and the public share one entrance, so we size the opener to how hard your business works it. For farms and large parcels we handle livestock containment and boundary fencing. Auburn’s single-family lots were reported at roughly 5,000 to 20,000 square feet, so our work ranges from in-town yards to acreage where the fence line runs for hundreds of feet.
Choosing the Right Fencing Materials for Your Property
If you don’t know which fence you want yet, that’s normal, and it’s what the free estimate is for. Our estimators are fencing professionals who walk the property, ask what the fence needs to do, and compare a wide selection of durable materials against your budget, your view and your pets. Steve Kempster is still one of our most-requested estimators. There’s no pressure and no charge to land on the perfect fencing solution.
Why Auburn Property Owners Choose Our Fence Company
Most people searching for a fencing company near me in Auburn have already been let down once: calls that went unreturned, a crew that never showed, a price that grew after work started. Dominic Vella lived that as a homeowner, which is why he and Steve Kempster started this company in 2011. Today we’re the region’s largest local fence and gate company, with three offices, approximately 35 background-checked W-2 employees and BBB Accredited status. Repeat customers and trade contractors keep coming back. Great customer service here starts somewhere unglamorous: someone picks up the phone.

Licensed, Bonded and Insured: Verify Before You Hire
Check any fence contractor’s license before you sign anything. Our California license is #979657, and you can confirm an active C-13 fencing license through the Contractors State License Board in about a minute. A licensed contractor should carry general liability and workers’ compensation coverage, which protects you if something goes wrong during installation on your property.
Flat Quotes, Competitive Pricing and Zero Hidden Fees
Ask for a detailed written quote before work begins. Ours itemizes labor and materials, demolition and haul-off, gates, and the project details that actually move an Auburn price: slope, rock and equipment access. The number we write down is the number you pay, and our written guarantee ties completion to your customer satisfaction. Financing is available to Sacramento-region residents if you’d rather spread the cost.
Quality Workmanship, Clean Sites and Exceptional Craftsmanship
We’re guests on your property. Our crews introduce themselves, work cleanly and conduct a thorough clean-up after every fencing job, leaving your property as we found it. On rocky foothill ground, post depth and spacing make all the difference, and exceptional craftsmanship there is what lets a fence stand straight for years. A professionally installed fence from a licensed contractor also keeps material and workmanship warranties valid, and those warranties can transfer to a new owner at no cost if you sell.
Our Simple Process: From Free Estimate to Professional Installation
-
- 1. Call or book online. Give us the address so we can confirm whether your parcel sits inside incorporated Auburn. Placer County has no jurisdiction within the City of Auburn, and plenty of Auburn mailing addresses fall outside city limits.
-
- 2. On-site free estimate. Your estimator walks the line and looks at grade, shallow rock, access, demolition, gates and the existing fence. If the boundary isn’t clear, we’ll recommend a licensed surveyor rather than guess at your neighbor’s expense.
-
- 3. Flat written quote and material selection. You pick the fence and gates; we keep permitting and zoning hassle free, including any required City permit, which Auburn lets us apply for and manage online through Civic Access.
-
- 4. Professional installation. Background-checked W-2 crews build to local building codes, with the right drilling equipment for tough foothill ground and stepped layouts where the grade calls for it.
-
- 5. Walkthrough, clean-up and sign-off. We walk the finished fence with you, clean the site and close out the written guarantee.
What Makes an Auburn Fencing Project Different
Foothill terrain, fire rules, historic districts and a city-versus-county jurisdiction split are the four things a non-local fence company misses in Auburn.
Auburn Neighborhoods and Housing We Work In
Around Old Town and Downtown along Lincoln Way, exterior alterations, materials and colors fall under the Historic Design Review Commission, so fence design gets screened with Planning first. In Alta Vista, along Foresthill Avenue and Aeolia Drive, front-yard visibility and privacy drive most of our wood and vinyl work. Out at Robie Point, it’s slope, canyon-edge layouts and driveway gates.
Rocky Ground, Slopes, Heat and Wet Winters
Auburn ground fights post holes. With slopes from 2% to 75% and rock outcrops common, we plan for varied post lengths, stepped or racked panels and the drilling equipment the site needs. Climate drives material choice too: 36.12 inches of rain a year concentrated in winter, plus July and August average highs of 92.7°F and 92.0°F. That combination rots untreated wood and fades finishes, so staining and sealing matter. Auburn’s fire-hazard map includes moderate, high and very high classifications, so check your parcel.
Local Regulations, Permits and Helpful Links
Auburn generally limits fences to three feet in required front and corner street-side yards and allows up to six feet in required side and rear yards. Exceeding the standard height or fence type requires an administrative permit. Electric fences are prohibited in every zone, and barbed wire is prohibited in residential districts. The Building Division issues permits from City Hall at 1225 Lincoln Way. Our Fence Ordinance Quick Links are a good starting point.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for a fence in Auburn?
It depends on height, location and whether your parcel is inside city limits, and we confirm that before any work starts. Effective July 1, 2026, the City fee for a fence requiring a building permit is $174, before additional processing or agency fees.
How tall can my fence be in Auburn?
Generally three feet in required front and corner street-side yards, and up to six feet in required side and rear yards. Anything beyond that in height or fence type requires an administrative permit.
How much does a new fence cost in Auburn?
Price depends on linear footage, materials, demolition and haul-off, gates, slope, rock and access, which is why any fence company should quote only after seeing the property. We quote flat and in writing after a free estimate, and our Fence Price Calculator gives you a quick range first.
How long does a fence installation take?
Many straightforward residential installations finish in about one to three working days. Slope, rock, demolition, gate work and any required approval change that. Auburn conducts building inspections Monday through Thursday, not Friday, which can affect timing on permitted jobs.
Can you set posts in rocky or sloped Auburn ground?
Yes. Your estimator inspects for shallow rock, grade and equipment access before the flat price is finalized. On slopes that can reach 75%, our crews use stepped or racked layouts, varied post lengths and the right drilling equipment.
Do you serve my part of Auburn?
Yes. Auburn sits in Placer County, inside our six-county service area of Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado, Yuba, Yolo and Nevada counties. There’s no Auburn office, and our crews come from our Sacramento-region offices via I-80.
