Fence Installation Services for Foothill Farms Homes and Businesses
Our fence installation services cover residential and commercial properties, so a failing fence doesn’t automatically turn into a full-replacement proposal. We’ve been installing fences across this region for over a decade, and the free estimate is where we help you land on the perfect fencing solution.
Wood, Vinyl, and Chain Link Fence Installation for Your Backyard
Most of what we do here is residential fence installation.
- Wood fence installation and good neighbor fences. Classic, affordable privacy with the natural beauty of real wood, stained or painted to suit the house. On shared property lines we coordinate with both households so the finished fence works for everyone.
- Vinyl fence installation. Low-maintenance and weather-resistant, a strong fit if you’d rather not re-stain anything after a run of hot, dry summers.
- Chain link fence installation. Affordable and practical for side runs, dog runs, and back lot lines.
- Pool safety fencing. Barrier fencing protecting kids and pets, with co-founder Steve Kempster’s two decades of pool safety fencing expertise behind our approach.
- Fence repair and fence post replacement. Failed posts, cracked rails, loose boards, and sagging runs can often be fixed in place. We’ll tell you honestly when repair makes sense and when it doesn’t.
- Agricultural and horse fences. Livestock containment and boundary fencing for larger parcels outside the subdivisions.
Thinking About Aluminum Fences? Durable Materials That Hold Up Here
People ask about aluminum fences often, usually because they want something ornamental that won’t rot. We’ll walk you through how our durable materials compare: ornamental iron fencing and wrought iron fence installation for timeless curb appeal, Durabond steel where you want real security, and Bolt-Up Hidden Steel Posts that pair the strength of steel with the clean look of wood. Retaining walls enter the conversation when grading does.
Gates, Gate Openers, and Driveway Gate Installation
- Gate installation and gate repair. Pedestrian gates, double gates, and driveway gates that latch, swing, and line up the way they should.
- Automated gates and gate openers. Swing and slide systems, keypads, solar powered gate openers, and LOOP sensors. A driveway gate adds convenience and more security at the one opening most fences leave wide open, and automated gates should be serviced at least once a year.
Commercial Fences for Businesses and Commercial Properties
Security fencing, dumpster enclosures, and fence post replacement for Foothill Farms business owners, multifamily managers, and industrial sites. With owner occupancy here at 52.4%, we work with plenty of property managers alongside homeowners, and steel or iron puts a real barrier between your property and potential threats.
Fences do need regular maintenance to stay in good shape, and on homes built from the 1960s through the mid-1990s, that upkeep is often what separates a repair from a replacement.
Why Foothill Farms Property Owners Choose Our Fence Contractors
Fantastic Fence exists because Dominic Vella hired fence companies for his own property and got unreturned calls, dirty job sites, and crews that couldn’t be bothered to show up on time. He and Steve Kempster started the company in 2011 to do it the opposite way.
What that looks like now:
- CSLB License #979657, licensed, bonded, and insured, and BBB Accredited.
- Approximately 35 background-checked W-2 employees. No day labor on your property.
- Over 1,000 five-star reviews from customers, with real names on our reviews page.
- Flat pricing with zero hidden fees, in a written, itemized estimate.
- A written guarantee: the job is not finished until you give the thumbs up, covering both materials and workmanship.
- Thorough cleanup after every job, because we’re guests on your property.
- Co-founder Steve Kempster still runs estimates and is one of our most requested estimators.
- We’re the region’s largest local fence and gate company, not a call center.
Proper installation methods are what keep a fence standing straight through years of heat and winter rain, and that’s what prevents the expensive repair two seasons from now. Contact us today and we’ll come look at your property.
How Your Fencing Project Works, From First Call to Final Walkthrough
- Call or book online. A real person on our office team picks up, not a voicemail loop. We’ll ask a few questions about your property and your fencing needs, then set your free estimate.
- On-site estimate and written scope. We confirm property lines, check heights against county rules, and give you an itemized estimate covering materials, labor, gates, old fence removal, disposal, and cleanup. No deposit demands beyond what California law allows, which caps a down payment at 10% of the contract.
- Scheduling, 811 marking, and permits if needed. We place the Underground Service Alert call so underground utilities are marked before we dig, taking care of that step for you. If your design needs county review, you’ll know before work is scheduled, including that permitted work must be inspected before one phase is covered by the next.
- Installation and thumbs-up closeout. A background-checked W-2 crew installs the fence, usually in a day to three on a typical residential run, then cleans the site. We close out when you say we’re done.
What Fencing in Foothill Farms Actually Involves
County rules, not city rules. Because Foothill Farms is unincorporated, Sacramento County Planning and Environmental Review and the county’s Building Permits and Inspection Division govern fence height, setbacks, and permits. Permits are filed electronically, with Building Assistance Centers at 827 7th Street, Room 102, and 9800 Goethe Road.
Heights and corner lots. In front yards, solid fences are generally limited to three feet, semi-open and chain link to four feet, and open ornamental to seven feet. Side-street, interior side, and rear fences are generally limited to seven feet. Visibility requirements apply near intersections and driveways, which matters on the corner lots scattered through these subdivisions. Anything over seven feet needs a building permit and Planning Department approval.
The housing stock. Foothill Farms was laid out as a planned 1,160-acre subdivision described in a 1956 housing publication, and most homes went up between the 1960s and the mid-1990s. With 12,338 households and smaller single-family homes on shared lines, post replacement and partial repair often beat full replacement.
Climate, terrain, and where we work. Hot, dry summers and cool, moist winters drive both material choice and when posts get set. Along Arcade Creek, grading and drainage sometimes call for a retaining wall combination, and the county’s revised Arcade Creek flood maps took effect February 22, 2024, so affected properties need an address-level map check. We cover the whole community, from Diablo Drive near Foothill Community Park to the Walerga Road, Auburn Boulevard, and Madison Avenue corridors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to put a fence around my property in Foothill Farms?
Usually not for a standard side, side-street, or rear fence at seven feet or lower, which can generally sit on the property line without a permit. Anything taller requires a building permit and Planning Department approval through Sacramento County. We confirm the answer for your address during the estimate.
How tall can my front-yard or corner-lot fence be?
Solid front-yard fences are generally limited to three feet, semi-open and chain link to four feet, and open ornamental to seven feet, while side-street and interior fences are generally allowed up to seven. Corner lots also fall under county visibility requirements near intersections and driveways.
How much does 100 feet of fence cost?
It depends on material, height, number of gates, terrain, and whether the old fence has to be hauled away, which is why we give a free written estimate with flat pricing and zero hidden fees instead of a per-foot guess. Our fence price calculator is a good starting point, and financing is available for Sacramento-region residents.
Can you replace just the posts, or do I need a whole new fence?
Often just the posts. Failed posts, rails, boards, and gate hardware can frequently be addressed without replacing the full run. Replacement makes more sense when most posts have rotted at grade, the run has lost its line, or repairs would cost close to new.
Can each neighbor get a separate estimate for a good neighbor fence?
Yes. Adjoining owners share responsibility for building and maintaining a shared fence under county guidance, so we provide separate written estimates that let neighbors split the work without confusion about who is paying for what.
Do you serve my part of Foothill Farms, and are estimates free?
Yes to both. We cover all of Foothill Farms, from Antelope Road and Don Julio Boulevard down to Garfield Avenue and Winding Way, and we also serve Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado, Yuba, Yolo, and Nevada counties. Every estimate is free.
