If you are deciding who to hire for a fence in Fair Oaks, hire the company that answers the phone, puts the full scope in writing before anyone digs, and knows that fence permits here run through Sacramento County because Fair Oaks is unincorporated. We have been doing exactly that since 2011, for residential and commercial customers across the Sacramento region, on everything from flat suburban lots to semi-rural parcels with rolling hills, native oaks, and American River bluff views.
If a fence contractor has already left you with unreturned calls, you are not being difficult by asking for proof this time.

Our Fencing Solutions in Fair Oaks: Residential and Commercial
We handle the full range of fencing projects in Fair Oaks, and we match the material to your specific needs rather than to a stock quote. Sacramento County summers are hot and dry, most of the rain lands in winter, and that cycle decides which material will still look right in ten years. Choosing the right fence is less about a catalog and more about your lot. Installation cost varies with material, design, gates, and site conditions, so start with our Fence Price Calculator if you are still researching, then book a free estimate for a real number.
Wood Fences and Good Neighbor Fences
Wood fences give you natural beauty and privacy at an affordable price. Redwood and cedar hold up to Fair Oaks heat and winter moisture far better than lower-grade lumber, and we will tell you when and how to seal it after a long dry summer. For a shared good neighbor fence, we help coordinate the conversation with the property owner next door before anything comes down.
Vinyl Fencing: Low Maintenance That Holds Up to Fair Oaks Heat
A vinyl fence is the low maintenance option, and it resists warping in high temperatures while staying visually appealing without annual staining. We discuss heat-rated material and expansion allowance at the estimate, because vinyl installed without that allowance is what causes problems later.
Ornamental Iron and Durabond Steel: Stronger Than Aluminum Fencing
Ornamental iron offers strength and timeless beauty without blocking a view, and a powder-coated black silhouette reads cleanly against oak trunks and open lawn. Homeowners who have priced aluminum fencing often land on steel instead, because the heavier gauge shrugs off a slammed gate or a falling limb. Durabond steel adds high-security sleekness in the same wrought iron styling. Proper powder coating and galvanized frames are what prevent rust around irrigated landscaping and winter rain. Open ornamental fencing is also the tallest style generally permitted in a Sacramento County front yard, up to seven feet.
Chain Link, Agricultural, and Large-Parcel Fencing
A chain link fence is affordable and practical for acreage, livestock containment, and boundary definition on the large properties the Fair Oaks Community Plan encourages, particularly east of Chicago Avenue. The plan also recognizes low-density areas where horses and domestic livestock may be kept, and we fence those properties regularly.
Pool Fencing and Pool Safety Barriers
Our co-founder Steve Kempster spent 20 years in pool fencing before starting this company. Barrier requirements get confirmed for your specific property and pool configuration, never assumed from a template.
Automated Gates, Security Gates, and Gate Openers
We install and repair automated slide and swing gates, security gates for controlled access, residential and commercial gate openers, keypads, LOOP sensors, and solar powered gate openers. Long Fair Oaks driveways are a common request, and the goal is a gate that is easy to use and keeps the property secure.
Fence Repair, Fence Replacement, and Retaining Walls
Leaning fence posts, sagging gates, and storm damage are repairable, often without replacing the whole run, and we will give you a free quote on fence repair for just the failing sections of an existing fence. Bolt-Up Hidden Steel Posts give you a wood look with steel strength, and on sloped lots we rack or step sections and build retaining walls where the grade demands it.
Commercial Fencing Services for Fair Oaks Businesses
Commercial iron fence, commercial chain link, corrugated metal, dumpster enclosures, fence post replacement, and gate repair for every business along the Fair Oaks Boulevard, Sunrise Boulevard, Madison Avenue, and Greenback Lane corridors.
What Makes Us a Top Fence Company in Fair Oaks
Fantastic Fence exists because our co-founder Dominic Vella hired fence companies at his own property and got unreturned calls, dirty job sites, and crews that could not be bothered to show up on time. He and Steve Kempster started this company in 2011 on the idea that a fencing company should answer its phone, arrive when it said it would, and charge fairly.
Here is what that looks like on paper. Approximately 35 background-checked W-2 employees across three offices. Licensed, bonded, and insured under CSLB License #979657, with active liability insurance that protects you if something on your property is damaged or someone is injured during the work. A written contract that spells out scope, materials, and timeline, plus workmanship coverage on our fence installation. Flat pricing with zero hidden fees. A thorough clean-up after every job, because we are guests on your property, not a crew using it as a job site. A written guarantee that the job is not finished until you give the thumbs up. Financing is available for Sacramento-region residents.
Beautiful fences are the easy part. The exceptional customer service around them is what over 1,000 five-star reviews are actually about, and it is what Fair Oaks neighbors ask each other about. Affordable has never meant cutting corners here; quality services at an honest price is the entire reason this company was started.
California limits a home improvement deposit to 10% of the project cost or $1,000, whichever is less, and we work inside that rule. Steve still runs estimates personally, which answers the quiet worry that a larger company will not care about a 30-foot repair. It will.

How Your Fair Oaks Fence Project Works, Start to Finish
- Call or book online. A person in our office answers. From that first contact we ask about property size, approximate linear footage, how many gates you need, slope, pool, pets, and whether a neighbor shares the line.
- Free on-site estimate. This initial consultation is where we walk the fence line, assess property size and grade, and flag mature oaks, retaining conditions, access limits, and any uncertainty about where the boundary actually sits. You get a clear written estimate with flat pricing and zero hidden fees before any work begins.
- Scheduling, permits, and utility marking. We identify whether Sacramento County review applies to your fence. The County’s development guide allows roughly one to three days for intake plus 14 to 21 working days for plan review, so permitted work is scheduled around that. Underground utilities are marked before we dig.
- Installation day and the final walkthrough. Our own skilled professionals set posts properly, which is what determines whether a fence stays plumb for decades. We clean up fully, then walk the finished fence with you and put a check mark next to anything you want adjusted. The job is not done until you say it is.
A small repair or a short run can be finished in as little as six hours. Larger fences and anything requiring a County permit get a schedule after the property evaluation, not before.
What Makes a Fair Oaks Fence Project Different
Permits run through the County, not a city. Fair Oaks is unincorporated, so Sacramento County Building Permits & Inspection Division (916-875-5296) and Planning and Environmental Review (916-874-6141) handle fence permitting and zoning. Wood, vinyl, chain link, or ornamental iron over seven feet needs a building permit and may need a planning entitlement. In residential zones, a solid front-yard fence is generally limited to three feet, semi-open picket or chain link to four feet, and open ornamental up to seven. A fence built on or into a retaining wall counts as a surcharge and requires a permit on its own. Fees are valuation-based rather than one flat charge. We tell you which of these applies to your property before we start.
Neighborhoods and housing stock. Fair Oaks Village is officially described as semi-rural, with narrow roads, few sidewalks or streetlights, numerous mature trees, and homes of varied ages and styles. The Bird Tract was the community’s first housing development, visible on the 1949 map. Phoenix Field closed in 1986 and homes in its subdivision were offered by 1990. Rollingwood is custom homes among oak trees and rolling hills near the American River Parkway, and Riverwood was built as clustered housing overlooking the river with private streets, bluff considerations, and extensive oak preservation. About 71% of occupied housing here is owner-occupied and roughly 78% is single-unit, so replacement, repair, and shared-fence work is most of what we do in 95628.
Trees, slope, and drainage. Fair Oaks Village terrain is hilly and tree-covered, and natural drainage courses cut through steep-banked ravines near the bluffs. Oak root zones change where posts can go, and sloped runs often need racked or stepped sections rather than level panels.
Where we come from. Our Sacramento office sits on Fair Oaks Boulevard, west of the community, on the same corridor that runs into the Village. That is how our crews reach Fair Oaks every week.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new fence cost in Fair Oaks?
It depends on material, linear footage, number of gates, demolition and disposal, site access, and slope, which is why we price each property individually with flat pricing and zero hidden fees. Use the Fence Price Calculator on our site for early research, then book a free fence estimate for a real figure tied to your yard. If a County permit applies, remember the fee is valuation-based rather than fixed. California also limits a home improvement deposit to 10% of the project cost or $1,000, whichever is less.
How do I pick the best fence company in Fair Oaks?
Ask for the license number, ask whether the crew is W-2 or day labor, ask what the written guarantee covers, and ask to see a nearby fence the company finished. A crew that did a fantastic job down the street will have no trouble pointing you to it, and quality work holds up to that kind of inspection.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Fair Oaks?
Generally only when the fence exceeds seven feet, with tighter front-yard limits of three feet for solid fences and four feet for semi-open styles like picket or chain link. Because Fair Oaks is unincorporated, that permit goes through Sacramento County, not a city office. Height matters: within five feet of the public right-of-way it is measured from the right-of-way side, and beyond five feet it is measured from the highest grade on either side.
Do you serve my part of Fair Oaks?
Yes, all of 95628, including the Village, the Bird Tract, Rollingwood, Phoenix Field, Riverwood, and the Hazel Avenue and Sunset Avenue side of the community. We cover the wider Sacramento area too, along with Placer, El Dorado, Yuba, Yolo, and Nevada counties. If you are searching for a fencing company near me from a Fair Oaks address, whatever your fencing needs, you are served by our office on Fair Oaks Boulevard in Sacramento.
Can you replace a shared good neighbor fence?
Yes, and we help with the coordination conversation so both households know the plan, the material, and the schedule before demolition day. If the property line is genuinely unclear, we recommend a licensed surveyor before posts go in, because a fence permit does not establish a boundary.
Do you remove the old fence and clean up?
Yes. Removal, disposal, and a thorough clean-up are written into the estimate, so there is no separate charge waiting at the end, and the job is not finished until you give the thumbs up.
