Fence Installation, Repair and Gates We Build in Lodi
We specialize in residential, commercial and agricultural fencing, and we install all the types listed below. Whatever your property’s security calls for, we match the fence to the home and the lot rather than to whatever is easiest to install.

- Bolt-Up Hidden Steel Posts for a clean look with added strength
- Fence repair, leaning fence correction and fence post replacement

Why Lodi Homeowners Choose Our Fence Company
Fantastic Fence started in 2011 because our co-founder got burned. Dominic Vella hired fence contractors for his own property and got unreturned calls, dirty job sites and crews that didn’t show up. He and Steve Kempster, who brought 20 years of pool safety fencing expertise, built the company around the opposite behavior.
What that looks like now: approximately 35 background-checked W-2 employees, three offices, and over 1,000 five-star reviews across 14 years in business. Flat pricing with zero hidden fees, and a written guarantee that the job isn’t finished until you give the thumbs up. Our team cleans up thoroughly because we’re guests on your property. Financing is available.
Before you choose any installer, verify the license with the state board, read what clients say and go look at completed fences. Workmanship and material warranties belong in writing. We’re happy to be checked.
How Your Lodi Fence Project Works, Start to Finish
Our process is the same on every Lodi job.
- You call or book online and a real person in our office answers.
- Free estimate on site. We measure and check grade, drainage, soil and utilities, confirm property boundaries so there’s no dispute later, and determine which City of Lodi department applies.
- Written scope and flat price you approve before anything gets started, with utility marking through 811 scheduled. Compare written quotes from a few companies on specifications, not just the bottom number.
- Installation by our own crew, pros who work efficiently and with precision, then a thorough clean-up and a final walkthrough.
We don’t promise a fixed day count. Footage, gates, demolition, site access and approvals all move the schedule.
Lodi Fence Rules, Neighborhoods and Climate We Build For
Lodi’s rules differ from the common California pattern of 6 feet rear and 3 feet front. Residential fences not over seven feet are exempt from a City of Lodi building permit. Zoning allows 48 inches within the required front-yard setback, seven feet at side or rear lot lines, and eight feet where a nonresidential district adjoins a residential district. In a visibility triangle, solid fences are limited to 30 inches and qualifying open fencing to 36 inches, measured from finished grade. Work in the public right-of-way can require an encroachment permit from Public Works. The Building Division (221 W. Pine Street, 209-333-6714) answers the rest.
Downtown and the older central grid between Lodi Avenue and Lockeford Street sit close to alleys and narrow side access. North Lodi near Lodi Lake and west-side subdivisions like Park West, Sunwest and Century Meadows are seeing original 1980s and 1990s fencing age out. In Rose Gate and Reynolds Ranch, matching the development’s style matters.
Lodi gets hot, dry summers and roughly 17 to 18 inches of rain, mostly November through April, so materials have to handle temperature extremes and standing water. The ground is near-flat on the old Mokelumne floodplain, which means drainage at the posts matters more than grade.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do fence contractors usually cost in Lodi?
Cost depends on material, linear footage, gates, demolition and site access, which is why we quote flat and in writing. Try our Fence Price Calculator for a research-stage number, then book an estimate and compare quotes line by line for real value against your budget.
What is the most affordable fencing option?
Chain link is typically the most affordable choice for security on long boundary runs. Wood is the affordable way to enhance privacy and add beauty on older central and west Lodi lots. Vinyl costs more upfront but stays low-maintenance.
Do I need a permit for a new fence in Lodi?
Residential fences not over seven feet are exempt from a City of Lodi building permit, but zoning, visibility-triangle and right-of-way rules still apply. We confirm which applies before we start, ensuring the finished fence is a legal addition to your property. HOA and CC&R review is separate.
Do you serve my part of Lodi?
Yes, all of Lodi, including Downtown, the Lodi Lake area off W. Turner Road, the west-side subdivisions and the newer south Lodi communities. Our Sacramento office is the nearest location, and our goal is to provide the same professional service there that we do closer to home.
