Frequently asked questions
What does a fence cost in San Jose?
National 2026 figures put most installed fences at $20 to $60 a foot. Your material, the length, gates, tear-out and the lot decide the real number. See the fence prices guide for ranges by material.
Is a permit required for a fence in San Jose?
Not for most back yard fences. The city requires a building permit only when a fence exceeds the maximum heights in the Municipal Code. The height limits themselves apply to all fences and are lower in front setbacks. We confirm them for your address with the Planning Division of PBCE.
How long will my fence take?
About 2 to 3 working days of building, spread over roughly a week. Approvals, the 811 notice and scheduling happen first.
Who contacts 811?
The party doing the digging. On our jobs we notify USA North 811 at least 2 working days ahead.
Is it better to repair or replace?
Repair when the posts are firm and damage is local. Replace when the repair nears half the price of new or most posts are loose.
Do neighbors split the cost of a shared fence?
California Civil Code section 841 presumes an equal split of reasonable costs for a boundary fence, after 30 days' written notice.
How much does a new fence cost in San Jose?
It depends on the material, the length and height, the number of gates and whether an old fence has to come out. We measure on site and give you a written quote with the options side by side.
Do I need a permit for a fence in San Jose?
Often yes, especially for taller fences, corner lots, pool fences and fences near a property line. We check the rules for your address and help with the paperwork.
How long does a fence installation take?
Most residential fences take 2-3 working days, spread over about a week so the concrete around the posts can set.
Which fence material lasts longest?
Vinyl and aluminum need the least upkeep. Cedar looks great and lasts many years when it is sealed. Chain link is the most affordable. We explain the trade-offs for your yard.
Do you repair fences or only install new ones?
Both. We fix leaning posts, storm damage, broken panels and sagging gates, and we tell you honestly when a repair makes more sense than a replacement.
