Learn MoreReach out by phone or through our contact form. We ask a few quick questions about your yard and what you need. You will hear back within 1 business day to schedule a free on-site estimate at a time that works for you.
We walk your property, take measurements, and note anything that affects the job - slope, soil, shared fence lines, gate placement. You receive a written quote that breaks out materials, labor, and any permit fees. No surprises later.
We pull permits, confirm your property line, and schedule the installation. The crew arrives on time, works cleanly, and does a final walkthrough with you before leaving. Gates are tested, debris is hauled away, and you sign off when you are satisfied.
We hold a current California Contractors State License Board license. Every job carries full general liability coverage, so you and your property are protected from the first post to the final walkthrough.
Every quote starts with a free visit to your property. We measure, assess the terrain, and give you a written breakdown before you commit to anything. There is no pressure and no charge for the estimate.
We have been operating in San Mateo County since 2015. We know local permit requirements, the clay-heavy soil in the hills, and how the coastal fog affects different fence materials over time.
Unpermitted fences are one of the most common deal-killers in a San Bruno home sale. We handle the permit application with the city and do not break ground until the permit is approved and in hand.

"They came out within a couple of days to look at the job and gave me a written quote the same week. The crew finished our wood fence in two days and walked me through the whole thing before they packed up. Posts feel solid and the gate lines up perfectly."
Marcus D., Millbrae - Wood fence installation
"My yard slopes pretty steeply from front to back and I was worried about how a fence would look on it. They explained the stepping method and showed me what it would look like. The finished vinyl fence follows the grade cleanly. No gaps, no awkward angles."
Theresa K., Burlingame - Vinyl fence installation
"We needed a chain link fence on the back section of our lot near the street. They handled the permit, confirmed our property line, and had the fence done in a day. The self-latching gate was what we specifically needed for our dog, and it works exactly as described."

San Bruno gets persistent marine fog most mornings, and that moisture accelerates wood rot faster than homeowners expect. Cedar and redwood hold up significantly better than untreated pine in this climate because of their natural oils.
Clay-heavy soil expands when wet and contracts when dry, pushing posts out of alignment over time. Posts should be buried at least one-third of their total length and set in concrete - not just packed soil - to stay plumb through seasonal changes.
Most California cities, including San Bruno, require permits for fences above certain heights. Skipping the permit can cause complications during a home sale. The City of San Bruno Community Development Department has the current height limits and permit application information.
California requires a compliant barrier around every residential swimming pool. The fence must be at least 60 inches tall, have no footholds for climbing, and include a self-closing, self-latching gate. These are minimum requirements and do not override any stricter local rules.
California's Good Neighbor Fence Law generally splits costs equally between neighbors for a basic boundary fence. The law requires written notice at least 30 days before work begins. Most shared-fence situations in San Bruno are resolved with a simple conversation before any formal process is needed.
In California, any contractor performing work over $500 must be licensed with the state. Hiring an unlicensed contractor leaves you without legal recourse if the work fails or goes unpaid. The California Contractors State License Board lets you verify any license in seconds.

Vinyl does not absorb moisture, so it outlasts wood in San Bruno's foggy climate with almost no maintenance. Wood has a warmer, more natural look but needs staining or sealing every two to three years to hold up along the coast. For more on materials, the American Fence Association publishes guides on fence material selection.
Sloped yards are common in San Bruno, and they require either racking (panels follow the angle) or stepping (panels drop in flat sections). Racking looks cleaner on gentle slopes. Stepping works better on steeper grades but leaves small gaps at the bottom of each panel - worth discussing before installation if you have pets or small children.
A good rule of thumb: if the posts are sound, repair makes sense. If the posts are leaning, rotting underground, or shifting in the soil, a full replacement is usually more cost-effective than resetting posts and replacing boards. Ask your contractor to assess the posts specifically - not just the visible boards.

San Bruno is a city of about 45,000 people on the San Francisco Peninsula, sitting just south of San Francisco and directly adjacent to San Francisco International Airport. Most of the housing stock was built between the 1940s and 1970s, which means a lot of homes are now 50 to 80 years old and the fences that came with them are overdue for repair or replacement. We work throughout the city, from the flat streets near Tanforan to the hillside neighborhoods with views of San Bruno Mountain State and County Park.
The city sits in the fog belt of the Peninsula, and that persistent marine moisture is harder on wood fences than most homeowners expect. The neighborhoods above El Camino Real also tend to have clay-heavy soil that shifts seasonally, which puts extra stress on fence posts that were not set deeply enough in concrete. Sloped lots - particularly in areas like Crestmoor and the streets near Skyline Drive - require specific installation techniques that not every contractor handles well. Parts of the Crestmoor neighborhood were rebuilt after 2010, so some properties there have newer construction alongside original 1950s homes on the same block.
San Bruno is a community where people put down roots. Many homeowners have lived in the same house for decades, and they take care of their properties because home values here are significant - median prices are well above $900,000. When a fence project comes up, they want it done right the first time and permitted correctly so there are no complications at resale. That is exactly how we approach every job in this city.
