Fence Installation Services and Fencing Options in West Sacramento
Every fencing project starts with matching the right material to your property, your budget, and your design goals. Here is what we build most often on this side of the river.
Wood Fence Installation and Good Neighbor Fences
Wood gives you natural beauty, real privacy, and affordable coverage, and the good neighbor fence is still the most requested shared-boundary build in this area. Summer highs reach the mid-to-high 90s, and untreated boards warp or split in that heat, so we match material and finish to your budget. Cedar and redwood hold color far longer than standard pine, and a capped top rail keeps water off the end grain.
Vinyl and Composite Fences
A vinyl fence needs virtually no maintenance through wet winters and dry summers, and composite mimics wood grain without the repainting. Thin vinyl panels turn brittle under harsh UV, so we install quality vinyl with room for seasonal expansion and back it with the manufacturer’s material warranty. Vinyl also works well as a pool-side privacy run where splash and chlorine would shorten the life of wood.
Wrought Iron, Aluminum Fences, and Durabond Steel
A wrought iron fence holds its look with minimal maintenance and adds curb appeal without blocking a view, which is why a wrought iron fence is such a common choice for front yards and pool enclosures. Aluminum fences resist corrosion without protective treatments, and Durabond steel gives you a sleek, robust barrier where security is the priority. Metal absorbs summer heat, so we rely on powder coatings to prevent rust. West Sacramento also bars plain unfinished concrete block as a finished fence. It must be stuccoed or decorative split-face with a decorative cap, which we account for in masonry and retaining wall work.
Chain Link Fence Installation, Residential and Commercial
A chain link fence is affordable, practical, and quick to secure a yard, dog run, or lot, and it protects your property’s security without a long lead time. In non-residential zones, chain link cannot be visible from adjacent at-grade public streets, state highways, or residential zones, so commercial sites usually add screening slats or a decorative frame.
Fence Repair and Post Replacement Services
We repair fences one section at a time when that’s all it takes, so leaning posts or a few rotted boards don’t force a complete replacement of an old fence. Post replacement services keep the existing panels in place and cost far less than starting over. Bolt-Up Hidden Steel Posts give you a clean, seamless wood look with steel strength underneath.
Gate Installation, Driveway Gates, and Automated Gate Openers
We build swing and slide gates, install keypads and LOOP sensors, and set up solar and electric gate openers. Automated gates add to your property’s security while making daily access easier, and our repair and maintenance services keep a driveway gate working through hard use. Hardware matters here. Heavier gates need deeper footings and stronger hinges than most homeowners expect.
Pool Safety Fences
Co-founder Steve Kempster brought 20 years of pool safety fencing industry experience into this company, and that expertise is still part of what we bring to West Sacramento families. Self-closing, self-latching gates are the detail most often missed.
Commercial Fencing and Dumpster Enclosures
Perimeter fencing, dumpster enclosures, and temporary construction fencing serve businesses from the West Capitol Avenue and Jefferson Boulevard corridor to the Washington, Bridge District, Pioneer Bluff, and Stone Lock waterfront areas. Financing is available for Sacramento-region residents.
Why West Sacramento Property Owners Choose Us Over Other Fence Companies
Most people calling us have been let down by a contractor before, which is exactly why this company exists. Dominic Vella founded Fantastic Fence in 2011 with Steve Kempster after hiring fence companies that didn’t return calls, didn’t show up on time, and left a mess behind. Today we are the region’s largest local fence and gate company.
Competitive Pricing and Exceptional Craftsmanship
Here’s what that means for a West Sacramento property owner comparing bids from several fence companies:
- Approximately 35 background-checked W-2 professionals on our own teams. No subcontractors.
- Licensed, bonded, and insured, CSLB License #979657, BBB Accredited.
- Flat pricing with zero hidden fees, a written guarantee on our quality workmanship, and material warranty coverage that stays with the property if you sell later.
- Thorough cleanup after every job, because we are guests on your property.
- Over 1,000 five-star reviews, earned by being trusted rather than cheapest.
Ask every bidder for an itemized scope so you’re comparing the same work. Co-founder Steve still runs estimates personally, which answers the question of whether a bigger company takes pride in a small repair.
Our Process, From Free Estimate to Finished Fencing Project
- Call or book online. Our office answers the phone.
- On-site consultation and design. We measure, confirm property lines, walk you through options, count gates, cover demolition and haul-away, clarify who pulls any permit, and hand you a written flat-price scope and the week we can start.
- Utility marking before digging. We call 811 and check recorded easements, since fencing cannot sit inside a public utility easement without written approval from the City Engineer and the affected utility companies.
- Installation, cleanup, and your approval. Our own teams build it, and we complete most standard residential fence projects in one to three days, then clean up and walk the line with you.

What a Fencing Project in West Sacramento Actually Involves
Permits run through the City of West Sacramento Community Development Department’s Building Division on West Capitol Avenue. A building permit is required for fences over seven feet high and for masonry fences and walls over four feet high. Planning ahead for that review keeps your project on schedule, and the city’s fence ordinance resources are worth a look before you start.
Height rules follow the setback. A required front setback allows a three-foot solid fence, plus a fourth foot if the portion above three feet is at least 50% open. Side and rear setbacks generally allow seven feet, and corner lots stay under three feet inside the 30-foot vision triangle.
Soil matters more here than buyers expect. The City warns that many areas contain expansive soil, and Meyers clay with high shrink-swell potential runs along parts of West Capitol Avenue between Houston Street and Glide Avenue. With 19.24 inches of average annual rain and bone-dry summers, that clay moves, which is why post depth, footing size, and material get decided on your property, not from a template.
Broderick, Bryte, and Washington are mostly single-family and multifamily homes from the 1950s and early 1960s, where we do a lot of replacement and shared-boundary work with tight access. The State Streets area is similar. Southport’s planned villages, built largely since 2000, lean toward privacy fencing, pool safety fences, and iron accents that pass HOA design review. The Deep Water Ship Channel splits the city, and we cover both sides.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a fence cost, and how do I compare bids fairly?
Cost depends on material, footage, gates, demolition, and access. We quote a flat price in writing with zero hidden fees, so comparing bids is straightforward.
Who pays for a shared fence between neighbors?
California law generally requires adjoining neighbors to split the cost of a boundary fence equally. We write the scope so both households see exactly what is being built.
How long does installation take, and do you serve my neighborhood?
Most residential installs take one to three days, and we serve every area of West Sacramento from our Sacramento office. If you’ve been searching for a fencing company near me, we are the crew that actually crosses the river.
Can you repair one leaning section, or does the whole fence need replacing?
Often one section, and we will tell you honestly which it is. When posts have failed along most of the run, a complete replacement costs less over time than repeated repairs.
