Rancho Cordova Fence Company: Installation, Repair, and Replacement
We install fences, repair them, and replace them on Rancho Cordova homes, businesses, and acreage, and we do it as a licensed, bonded, and insured fence contractor holding California CSLB License #979657, with approximately 35 background-checked W-2 employees and over 1,000 five-star reviews behind the work.
If you have called a fence company before and gotten voicemail, a no-show, and a quote that changed once work started, that experience is exactly why we exist. We build wood, vinyl, ornamental iron, Durabond steel, chain link, and pool safety fencing, plus automated gates and gate openers, on flat pricing with zero hidden fees and a written guarantee that the job isn’t finished until you give the thumbs up. Our team shows up when we say we will.

Fence Types We Install, Repair, and Replace in Rancho Cordova
We handle every common fence type on Rancho Cordova residential, commercial, and large-property parcels. Material choice here should follow your climate, soil, and the city’s fence rules, not just the look you like on a photo, which is why our estimator walks the property before recommending anything. Different types of lots call for different materials, and we carry quality products across all of them.
Wood and Redwood Privacy Fence Options
Wood fencing is the traditional, warm, affordable choice, and it’s still the most common privacy fence and good neighbor fence across older Rancho Cordova neighborhoods. A redwood fence resists rot, offers natural insulation, and gives you real fence design flexibility, and boards can be painted or stained in whatever color suits the house. Folks in the city’s midcentury neighborhoods are usually replacing a tired run rather than starting from scratch. For yards with shifting soil, our Bolt-Up Hidden Steel Posts keep a wood fence sturdy and standing straight for years longer than wood posts alone.
Vinyl Fencing
Vinyl is the low-maintenance, weather-resistant option, with a service life of roughly 20 to 30 years and almost no upkeep beyond a rinse. A vinyl fence can be molded in nearly any color and pattern, which makes matching an HOA-approved streetscape in a newer community straightforward, and vinyl is often the perfect choice when you want privacy without a maintenance schedule.
Ornamental Iron Fencing and Durabond Steel
Iron and steel give you security and curb appeal in the same fence. Custom iron fencing is fabricated to your property’s proportions and style, while Durabond steel delivers high-security strength with sleek, modern lines. Metal fences last decades with reasonable care, and aluminum options resist fading and weathering under Rancho Cordova’s long, bright summers. If durability sits at the top of your list, start here.
Chain Link and Commercial Fencing
Chain link remains affordable and practical for back lots, industrial yards, and business parks along corridors like Sunrise Boulevard and White Rock Road. We handle commercial chain link, corrugated metal fence, dumpster enclosures, fence post replacement, and commercial fence and gate repair. One local note: Rancho Cordova prohibits chain link in residential front and side yards, so a front-yard replacement has to move to another material.
Pool Safety Fencing
A pool fence is a barrier before it’s anything else. Co-founder Steve Kempster brought 20 years of pool safety fencing experience into this company, and our estimator confirms the current requirements that apply to your Rancho Cordova property rather than guessing from a code page.
Automated Gates and Gate Openers
We install automated slide gates and swing gates with residential and commercial gate openers, including solar powered gate openers, keypads, and LOOP sensors. We also repair and maintain existing systems, which matters on driveway gates that have been cycling through hot summers for a decade. See our full services list for details.
Fence Repair or a New Fence?
We inspect posts, rails, boards, and gate alignment, then tell you honestly which one you need and what the best fence for the lot would be. A section repair is often the better value when the rest of the run is sound, and when rot or soil movement has spread through most of the line we’ll show you why replacement is the smarter spend. If you’re redesigning rather than matching, horizontal styles create a contemporary, clean-lined appearance.
Why Rancho Cordova Homeowners and Property Managers Choose Our Fence Contractor
We were founded in 2011 because a Sacramento-area homeowner got tired of fence contractors who never called back, and every policy here traces to that. What you can actually check:
- Licensed, bonded, and insured under CSLB License #979657, with general liability and workers’ compensation coverage that gives you real protection as the property owner. The Contractors State License Board requires a valid license, so verify ours and everyone else’s.
- Approximately 35 background-checked W-2 employees, not subcontracted labor. Ask every fence company you call whether the crew that shows up works for them.
- Flat pricing with zero hidden fees, plus a written guarantee: the job isn’t finished until you give the thumbs up.
- Clear written coverage on workmanship and materials, so you aren’t relying on a handshake a year from now.
- We’re guests on your property. Crews introduce themselves, protect your landscape, and clean up thoroughly before they leave.
- Local, and accountable. We’re the region’s largest LOCAL fence and gate company with three offices, BBB Accredited, over 1,000 five-star reviews, and financing available for Sacramento-region residents. Co-founder Steve Kempster still runs estimates himself, and repeat customers and trade contractors keep coming back.
As a Rancho Cordova fence builder, we’d rather earn the second job than win the first one on price. Quality fencing at an honest number is not a contradiction. Want that in writing for your property? Contact us today for a free fence estimate.
How Your Rancho Cordova Fence Project Works, from Estimate to Lasting Results
- 1. Call or book online. A real person at our Sacramento office answers and schedules your free estimate.
- 2. On-site walk with an estimator. We measure the run and check post condition, grade, gate swing, public utility easements (fences have to stay outside them unless the utility agency authorizes the placement), HOA architectural standards, and whether your height and placement clear the city’s rules. You get a written, itemized scope covering footage, material, height, style, post system, gate count, demolition, disposal, access limits, permit responsibility, and cleanup, so you can compare bids apples to apples. Shared property line fence? We itemize it so you and your neighbor can split the cost cleanly.
- 3. Permits and utility marking. We know the municipal code, we handle what the city requires, and we call 811 before we dig.
- 4. Installation and the thumbs up. Crews work clean, haul away the old fence, and the job stays open until you say it’s done. That process is the whole reason our work holds up.
What’s Different About Fencing in Rancho Cordova, CA
Permits and code. Fence permits inside the city go through Rancho Cordova’s Building and Safety Division at 2729 Prospect Park Drive, not the county, with applications, payments, document uploads, status checks, and inspection scheduling handled online. Residential fences less than seven feet are exempt from zoning certification when they meet the city’s standards, though a building permit may still apply. Anything over seven feet needs an administrative use permit, which the city estimates at four to six weeks. Front yards generally cap at three feet, or five feet if set back three feet and kept open and transparent. Rear and interior side yards generally reach seven feet. Street-side fences over three feet need a three-foot setback, and clear-visibility areas at streets, alleys, and driveways cap at 30 inches, which is the rule that surprises corner-lot owners. Chain link is out in residential front and side yards, fencing beside open spaces and trails has to be open-view, and the city runs a Residential Chain Link Fence Buy Back Program advertising reimbursement up to $1,000 for qualifying removal.
Neighborhoods and housing stock. This is two different jobs in one city. Cordova Gardens is mostly 1950s midcentury ranch homes on compact lots, Lincoln Village runs ranch homes, bungalows, duplexes, and townhouses built from 1959 to 1980, and Cordova Meadows spans roughly 1950 to 1990 with a median build year of 1967, so those calls are usually about replacement and post repair. Stone Creek’s 2000s and 2010s Spanish Revival streetscapes, Capital Village’s Craftsman houses and two-story townhomes, and Anatolia’s nearly 2,100 homes with parks, trails, and preserved wetlands are about architectural fit, privacy, gates, and HOA-compatible materials.
Climate, soil, and getting to you. Hot, dry summers and mild, wetter winters mean most rain falls in the cool months, so summer gives clean excavation windows and winter brings softer ground and weather delays. City planning documents identify expansive soils in parts of Rancho Cordova and map Peters clay on one-to-eight-percent slopes in the south, so fence construction details like footing depth and gate-post reinforcement get decided on site instead of from a generic assumption. We run Rancho Cordova from our Sacramento office on Fair Oaks Boulevard, reaching properties off Folsom Boulevard, Bradshaw Road, Mather Field Road, Zinfandel Drive, Sunrise Boulevard, White Rock Road, Douglas Road, Grant Line Road, and Rancho Cordova Parkway.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a new fence cost in Rancho Cordova?
It depends on material, height, total footage, gate count, removal and disposal, post system, and site access, which is exactly why quotes from different companies rarely match. Use our Fence Price Calculator for a quick idea of the range, then take a free fence estimate for a firm written scope with flat pricing and zero hidden fees. Financing is available for Sacramento-region residents.
Do I need a permit to replace a six-foot backyard fence?
Residential fences less than seven feet that meet the city’s standards are exempt from zoning certification, but a building permit may still apply depending on the design. Fences over seven feet require an administrative use permit, which the city estimates at four to six weeks. Rancho Cordova’s Building and Safety Division at 2729 Prospect Park Drive handles it, not the county, and we check height, placement, easements, and visibility during the estimate.
How tall can a front yard fence be in Rancho Cordova?
Generally three feet, or up to five feet if it sits at least three feet behind the property line and stays open and transparent, such as picket, open-slat wood, or ornamental iron. Corner lots also have to keep clear-visibility areas at streets, alleys, and driveways under 30 inches.
Can I replace a front-yard chain link fence with wood, vinyl, or iron?
Yes, and the city prohibits chain link in residential front and side yards anyway. Rancho Cordova’s Residential Chain Link Fence Buy Back Program currently advertises reimbursement up to $1,000 for qualifying removal, so confirm your eligibility with the city before you schedule the work.
Can you repair leaning posts instead of replacing the whole fence?
Often, yes. We inspect posts, rails, boards, and gate alignment and recommend repair when the run is otherwise sound. When rot or soil movement has worked through most of the line, we’ll say so and walk you through why replacement is the better value.
Do you serve my part of Rancho Cordova?
Yes, all of Rancho Cordova, from Cordova Gardens, Cordova Meadows, and Lincoln Village to Anatolia, Sunridge Park, Stone Creek, Capital Village, and the Sunrise Boulevard and White Rock Road business corridors. If you’ve been searching for a fence company near me and want a plain answer, that’s it. We run the city from our Sacramento office and also serve neighbors like Citrus Heights and El Dorado Hills, plus Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado, Yuba, Yolo, and Nevada counties. Contact us today.
