From Victorian homes on steep hillsides to modern commercial properties downtown, we build and repair fences that work with San Francisco's unique terrain and architecture. Whether you need privacy on a narrow city lot or security for your business near the Financial District, we handle the permits, slopes, and regulations that make fencing in The City different from anywhere else.
(650) 587-4266We offer comprehensive fencing solutions for San Francisco properties, from residential installations to commercial projects across all neighborhoods.
Here in San Francisco, flat lots are rare. Most properties sit on slopes that range from gentle inclines to steep grades that would challenge any installer. We've installed hundreds of fences on San Francisco hillsides, from Noe Valley to Pacific Heights, and we know how to build level, stable fences that follow your property line without looking awkward or uneven.
Your fence needs to work with the grade, not fight it. We use stepped or racked panel designs depending on the slope, and we dig deeper footings to account for soil movement during the rainy season. If your lot borders a steep drop or retaining wall, we coordinate with engineers to make sure everything is structurally sound and meets city code.
Many customers call us after getting quotes from contractors who don't understand San Francisco terrain. We price hillside work fairly because we do it every week. From professional fence installation to complex slope projects, our team handles the challenges that make fencing in The City unique.
San Francisco has strict fence regulations that vary by neighborhood and zoning district. Height limits, setback requirements, and permit processes can be confusing if you don't work in The City regularly. We pull permits for you and make sure your fence meets all Planning Department and Building Inspection requirements before we start digging.
Properties in historic districts like Cole Valley or the Haight have additional design review requirements. If your home is on a corner lot or near a public right-of-way, there are visibility and clearance rules we need to follow. We've worked through the permit process on hundreds of San Francisco projects, so we know exactly what documentation the city needs and how long approvals typically take.
Whether you need wood fence installation or a modern vinyl privacy fence, we make sure everything is permitted and inspected properly so you never have to worry about compliance issues down the road.
Properties near Ocean Beach, the Presidio, and the western neighborhoods deal with constant wind and salt air that can destroy a poorly built fence in just a few years. Even in sheltered areas like the Mission or Potrero Hill, morning fog brings moisture that causes wood rot and metal corrosion if your materials and installation aren't up to the challenge.
We use treated lumber rated for coastal exposure, stainless steel hardware that won't rust in the fog, and concrete footings deep enough to resist wind loads. If you're close to the water or in a high-wind zone, we recommend vinyl or aluminum fencing that requires almost no maintenance and won't warp or splinter over time.
Our vinyl fencing solutions are especially popular in western San Francisco because they stand up to weather without needing paint or sealant every few years. We've seen too many fences fail because they weren't built for The City's unique climate, and we make sure yours lasts.
From your first call to final inspection, we make fence installation in San Francisco straightforward and stress-free.
We come to your property to measure your lot, evaluate the slope and soil conditions, and discuss what you need. Whether you want privacy from neighbors, security for a commercial property, or a decorative fence that matches your Victorian home, we explain your options and provide a detailed written estimate with no pressure to commit.
Most San Francisco homes sit on narrow lots with just a few feet between buildings. If you share a driveway or have neighbors right up against your property line, installing a fence requires careful planning and coordination. We work in tight urban spaces every day, from the Richmond District to the Sunset, and we know how to build fences that maximize your privacy without creating access problems or conflicts with neighbors.
Your side yard might only be three feet wide, but that's enough for a well-built fence that gives you privacy and security without blocking light or looking cramped. We use panels sized for narrow spaces and we can design gates that swing into your yard instead of blocking shared walkways. If your property line runs right up to a building wall, we have mounting solutions that don't require traditional post holes.
Every San Francisco lot is different, and we've handled installations in spaces that other contractors said were impossible. Whether you need a simple boundary fence or a tall privacy screen, we make it work for your property.
We install fencing for businesses, apartment buildings, and HOA communities throughout San Francisco. Whether you manage a property in SOMA, need perimeter security for a warehouse near the Port, or want decorative fencing for a condo building in Pacific Heights, we handle commercial projects of any size and complexity.
Commercial work in The City requires coordination with property managers, compliance with ADA accessibility rules, and scheduling that doesn't disrupt tenants or business operations. We've worked on multi-unit buildings with shared courtyards, retail properties that need secure but attractive fencing, and industrial sites where safety and durability are the top priorities.
From chain-link security fences to ornamental aluminum that matches your building's architecture, we provide the materials and installation quality your property needs. Contact us for a free commercial estimate and site consultation.
