Serving Foster City, CA and surrounding areas. (650) 618-9739
Your backyard should feel like yours - not shared with the neighbors or the street. We install privacy fences built for Foster City's soil, salt air, and HOA rules.
Privacy fence installation in Foster City means building a solid 6-foot barrier in wood, vinyl, or composite - handling permits, HOA approval, and deeper post-setting for the city's soft bay-fill soil - with most jobs completed in one to three days on-site.
Homeowners here run into three things that catch them off guard: the city permit process, HOA approval requirements, and the fact that Foster City's engineered fill soil causes posts to shift faster than they would on natural ground. Getting those three things right from the start is what separates a fence that holds for 20 years from one you are replacing in five.
If your fence boards are deteriorating and a full replacement is not yet in the budget, our fence repair service can extend the life of what you have while you plan for something new.
If you can see your fence tilting to one side or gaps opening between boards and posts, the posts are failing at the base. In Foster City, the engineered fill soil does not grip posts as firmly as natural ground. A leaning fence will not fix itself - it will worsen until it falls.
When boards turn weathered gray and feel soft when you press on them, rot has set in. Foster City's salt air and year-round moisture speed this up compared to inland areas. Once rot reaches structural boards or posts, patching individual boards will not solve the problem.
If your backyard feels exposed to a neighboring second-story window, a nearby road, or a shared common area, a privacy fence gives you back your own space. This is especially common in Foster City's denser residential sections where lots sit close together.
A sagging or weathered fence can hurt a buyer's first impression in Foster City's competitive real estate market. A new privacy fence signals the property has been well maintained and gives buyers confidence during their walkthrough.
We install privacy fences in wood, vinyl, and composite - each suited to different budgets, maintenance tolerances, and HOA requirements. For homeowners who want the classic look of wood without worrying about fog and salt air, our wood fence installation service walks you through the right species and sealing options for this specific climate.
Every privacy fence we install includes the permit application, HOA approval support, a 811 utility locate call, and posts set at the depth Foster City's fill soil demands. We also handle old fence removal if you need to clear the site before the new one goes in. Once the fence is up, we do a final walkthrough with you before we close out the job.

Foster City was built as a master-planned community on reclaimed bay land, and that history shapes every fencing project here. The fill soil is soft enough that posts set at standard depth can shift after a wet winter. The salt air blowing in off the bay is tough on wood and metal hardware. And because the city has active code enforcement and a large share of HOA-governed neighborhoods, skipping permits or HOA approval is a much bigger risk here than in less regulated cities. A fence company that does not work in Foster City regularly will not know these things until they become your problem.
We install privacy fences throughout Foster City and the surrounding area, including neighborhoods in Burlingame and San Mateo. Foster City's proximity to San Francisco Bay means homeowners here face the same moisture and corrosion challenges as waterfront communities up and down the Peninsula. The Community Associations Institute provides resources for HOA governance that can help you understand what your association is required to disclose about fence rules before you build.
We respond within one business day. Tell us roughly how many linear feet you need and whether you have an HOA - those two pieces of information shape everything that comes next.
We visit the property, walk the fence line, and review your HOA guidelines before the design is finalized. You receive a written estimate within a few days - not a ballpark number that changes later.
We submit the building permit application to Foster City's Community Development Department and call 811 to have underground utilities marked before any digging begins - required by California law on every job.
Posts go in first, set in concrete. Panels attach after the concrete cures - typically the next day. Most standard residential privacy fences in Foster City are completed within one to three days. We walk the fence with you before we leave.
We handle permits and HOA paperwork so you do not have to. Written estimate, no pressure.
(650) 618-9739Since 2016, we have been setting fence posts on Foster City's soft bay-fill soil. We know the depth and concrete anchoring this ground requires - so your privacy fence does not start leaning after the first rainy season.
We help you pick materials and finishes that handle Foster City's salt air and moisture - whether that means a composite board, a UV-stable vinyl, or a properly sealed wood species. The right choice up front saves you maintenance and repair costs later.
We review your HOA guidelines before finalizing the design. In a planned community like Foster City, building first and asking permission later is a costly mistake. We make sure what we build is something your association will approve.
Foster City's code enforcement is active and an unpermitted fence can mean fines or forced removal. We submit the permit application through the Community Development Department on your behalf and track it to approval before any digging starts.
Every one of these steps matters more in Foster City than it would in a less regulated, inland city. When you are ready to move forward, call us or submit a request and we will get a written quote back to you within one business day.
