Fence Types We Install, Repair, and Replace Across Sacramento, CA
We handle every fence type below for Sacramento homeowners, property managers, and businesses, so you hire one local fence company instead of five specialists. Fencing options differ in cost, upkeep, and lifespan, and we’ll explain the trade-offs plainly. Want a ballpark first? Use our Fence Price Calculator, then let us confirm it with a free estimate.
Wood Fencing and Good Neighbor Fence Replacement
A wood fence gives you natural beauty and full privacy at an affordable price, and redwood sits among the premium materials most Sacramento yards use. Quality craftsmanship hides where you stop looking: post depth, rail count, fasteners, straight lumber. Removal and haul-away of the old fence appear in the written scope, and we can write one shared good neighbor fence estimate both neighbors can read.
Vinyl Fencing for Low-Maintenance Sacramento Yards
Vinyl fencing never needs staining or sealing, which makes it a popular choice on newer streets. There’s no refinishing cycle to budget for, so vinyl stays affordable over the long run in Sacramento, CA heat.
Ornamental Iron and Wrought Iron Fencing
Ornamental iron and aluminum fencing is elegant, open, and built for lasting durability, and a powder-coated black silhouette reads as a backdrop rather than a wall. Open decorative wrought iron may also reach six feet in front-yard and street-side-yard setback areas.
Chain Link Fence Installation and Repair
A chain link fence is the affordable, practical way to secure a yard, dog run, or job site. We install galvanized and vinyl-coated mesh with a proper top rail so the fabric stays tight, in heights up to 12 feet for commercial sites. Chain link is prohibited in Sacramento front-yard and street-side-yard setbacks, so we plan those runs along side and rear lines.
Durabond Steel and Bolt-Up Hidden Steel Posts
Durabond steel fencing delivers high security with a sleek, low-maintenance profile. Our Bolt-Up Hidden Steel Posts give you the look of wood with steel strength underneath, which matters where soil moves seasonally.
Automated Gates, Gate Openers, and Gate Repair
A custom fence and gate combination improves access and security for a home or a business. We install and repair automated slide and swing gates, gate openers including solar powered gate openers, keypads, and LOOP sensors.
Pool Safety Fencing
Co-founder Steve Kempster brought 20 years of pool safety fencing experience here, and pool safety fence barrier planning is part of the free estimate conversation.
Commercial, Agricultural, and Fence Repair Work
We handle commercial iron, commercial chain link, corrugated metal, dumpster enclosures, fence post replacement, and commercial gate repair, plus retaining walls and country property fencing for livestock. Section and gate repairs are core work for us. Get a free fence estimate.
How to Choose the Right Fence Material for Your Property
Short version: wood for privacy and value, vinyl for zero refinishing, ornamental iron for sightlines, chain link for affordable security, Durabond steel for high security. Tell us your specific needs and budget and we’ll match the right fence, because the best fence for your neighbor isn’t automatically the one we push on you.
Why Sacramento, CA Property Owners Choose Our Fence Company
Because the frustrations that push people to search for a fence company near me are the exact problems this company was built to fix. Dominic Vella was a homeowner here who hired fence contractors and got unreturned calls, dirty job sites, and crews that couldn’t be bothered to show up on time. He and Steve Kempster started Fantastic Fence in 2011 to do the opposite, and we’re now the region’s largest local fence and gate company and a leading provider across the Sacramento area.

What Makes a Sacramento Fence Project Different
Sacramento Height Limits, Permits, and the Planning Division
Most standard residential fences don’t need a City of Sacramento building permit, but every fence still has to meet zoning. Fences not over seven feet high are permit-exempt, while all proposed fences remain subject to Planning Division approval and City Code Chapter 17.620. Front-yard and street-side-yard fences are generally limited to four feet, rear and interior-side fences to six within required setbacks, and 3.5 feet inside a driveway visibility triangle on a local street. We track that detail for you.
Recent Fence Projects and the Neighborhoods We Work In
About 72% of Sacramento housing units counted in the 2014 to 2018 ACS were built before 1990, so most of our recent fence projects are replacements, not new construction. East Sacramento and the Fab Forties bring larger early-century homes and design expectations. Boulevard Park and Oak Park bring narrow access. Tahoe Park and Pocket-Greenhaven bring postwar footings, and North Natomas brings subdivision design rules. We scope by the actual fence line, not a guess.
Clay Soil, Valley Heat, and Why Posts Matter Here
A superior fence starts below grade, because posts fail here before panels do. The USDA Sacramento soil series runs to clay and silty clay loam with slow permeability, and the City recognizes shrink-swell hazards in soils that expand when wet and contract when dry. So post depth, footing, and drainage get real attention on our estimates, and we ask you to keep irrigation off the fence line. Beautiful fences last when the wood fencing above ground is finished for summer sun and winter wet.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a new fence cost in Sacramento?
It depends on length, materials, gates, old-fence removal, and access, which is why we give you a flat written price after a free estimate on site, with zero hidden fees. Start with our Fence Price Calculator. Financing is available for Sacramento-region residents.
How tall can my backyard fence be, and do I need a permit?
Rear and interior-side fences are generally limited to six feet within required Sacramento setbacks, and fences not over seven feet high are exempt from a building permit. Eight feet is allowed where the property line abuts a school, park, alley, or other nonresidential use.
How long does a fence replacement take?
Most straightforward backyard installations run about one to three days once we start. Scope, gate count, weather, and access all move that number, and we confirm current availability when you call.
Can you replace just the rotten posts instead of the whole fence?
Yes. Fence post replacement, gate repair, and section repair are core services, and our estimator will tell you honestly when a repair makes more sense than a full replacement.
Do you serve my part of Sacramento?
Yes, citywide, from our office at 3626 Fair Oaks Boulevard near the Fair Oaks and Watt Avenue corridor. We also serve Citrus Heights and the rest of Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado, Yuba, Yolo, and Nevada counties.
