We’ve been doing more and more fencing and gate projects lately for existing customers.
A well-built fence does more than mark a boundary; it provides privacy, security, curb appeal, and reduces noise. Whether you are installing a brand-new fence or repairing an aging one, hiring a trusted local fence builder near you is important.
Many specialist fencing companies strongly prefer large installation projects, and are reluctant to take on repair projects and “small” installations. We will take on any size project- but are particularly well-suited to smaller projects: from replacing a few broken fence planks, up to installing a complete fence from scratch.
Selecting the right fencing material for your home or property depends on multiple factors, including your home’s style, climate, and the purpose of the fence. A backyard privacy fence is normally a solid-panel fence at least six feet tall, whereas a front-yard fence prioritizes style over height. Dog owners may choose a fence that combines height and security. Some of the most common types of fencing options include:
Wood: The most popular choice for residential properties. Cedar and redwood are naturally moisture and insect-resistant. This is an important quality for homeowners in foggy and humid climates. Wood fences require regular maintenance.
Vinyl: A low-maintenance alternative to wood. Vinyl has minimal upkeep and does not rot, warp, or need painting. Vinyl fencing provides a clean look without much effort.
Chain Link: Practical and cost-effective for larger properties or areas where visibility matters more than privacy. A chain-link fence is often installed in backyards, around gardens, or for pet enclosures.
Wrought Iron and Aluminum: These types of fences are durable and decorative. They work well for front-yard fencing where aesthetics and security both matter. Aluminum is lighter and rust-resistant, making it well-suited for homes near the coast.
Composite fencing: Typically made from a blend of wood fibers and recycled plastic. It has the look of wood with greater durability and less maintenance.
The mix of coastal moisture, seasonal rain, and intense sun can take a toll on your fence over time. Even the best-built fences eventually need repairs and maintenance. For minor repairs, replacing a broken board, tightening a hinge, or patching a small section of chain link, an experienced Bay Area handyman can handle the job quickly. R&R Handyman will help you extend the life of your fences without the cost of a full replacement.
Some common fence repairs our R&R Handman team experiences in the Bay Area include:
Vinyl fences require an occasional wash with mild soap and water to keep them looking good, and metal fences need a rust-resistant coating every few years. Gates should be checked seasonally—hinges and latches take more wear than any other part of the fence.
