Fence Contractor in Vallejo, CA
New wood fences and gates with posts set to stand through winter storms.
What to know about fence installation
A fence marks your property line, keeps pets and kids in and gives you privacy. It also takes the weather head-on, which is why the posts are more important than the boards. A fence is only as strong as how it is set in the ground.
E&MC Remodeling installs wood fences and gates and replaces failing sections. A fence on a slope has to step or rack, and a fence that borders a neighbor needs a clear understanding of where the line runs.
Fencing pairs naturally with other outdoor projects, like decks and siding. We handle the whole exterior as one project when that suits your plans.
Where the fence meets everything else is where problems start. Gates need a post that will not lean under their weight, boards need a gap at the bottom to keep them off damp soil, and any fence that touches a house wall or deck needs to be detailed so it does not trap water against the wood. Those small choices decide how long the fence stays straight.
Signs you need a new fence
- Leaning posts or boards that rock when pushed.
- Rot at the base of posts or the bottom rails.
- Gaps that let pets out or reduce privacy.
- A gate that sags, drags or will not latch.
- You want to enclose a yard or separate a work area.
How we install a fence
Confirm the line
We establish where the fence goes and discuss height, style and gate locations.
Set posts
Posts are placed to depth, plumb and spaced consistently.
Hang rails and boards
Rails and pickets are fastened on a level or stepped line.
Gates and finish
Gates are hung and adjusted, and the fence is sealed or stained if requested.
What affects the cost of fence installation
Fence pricing depends on length and site. The main factors:
Length and height
More linear feet and taller fences need more materials and posts.
Material and style
Wood grade, board style and finish affect cost and maintenance.
Slope and access
Hilly or tight sites take more time.
Gates and removal
Gates add hardware, and old fence removal adds labor.
