| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood & Privacy Fence Installation | From $27/ft | Stockton's classic 6-ft redwood and cedar privacy fence, built for valley clay and 100-degree summers. Pressure-treated posts set deep in concrete, redwood, cedar or treated-pine pickets, board-on-board or side-by-side. We tell you honestly when redwood or cedar is worth it and when treated pine is the smarter budget call. |
| Vinyl & PVC Fence Installation | From $38/ft | Low-maintenance vinyl privacy, picket and ranch-rail fencing that shrugs off sprinkler overspray, valley sun and tule fog. Manufacturer-backed panels, correct post spacing and concrete-set footings, with no warping shortcuts. Honest guidance on where vinyl beats wood and where it doesn't. |
| Chain Link Fence Installation | From $16/ft | Galvanized and black vinyl-coated chain link for yards, pets, driveways and commercial lots. The toughest fence per dollar in Stockton: correct gauge, properly tensioned mesh and braced corners that stay tight as the clay swells and shrinks, with privacy slats or windscreen where you need them. |
| Aluminum & Ornamental Iron Fencing | From $42/ft | Powder-coated aluminum and ornamental iron fencing for pools, front yards and historic homes. Rust-resistant panels, clean welds and racked installation where lots slope toward a slough or levee: the premium look that holds up to relentless valley sun. |
| Fence Repair | From $450 | Leaning sections, broken pickets, sagging gates and wind-damaged panels, repaired in every fence material. We tell you honestly when a repair will hold and when replacement is the better spend. Most repairs are completed in a single visit. |
| Storm Damage Fence Repair | Free damage assessment | After a winter atmospheric-river storm, a Delta windstorm or a fallen valley oak limb, we rebuild fallen sections fast: same line, same look, stronger posts. We assess the damage and document it with photos and a written estimate to help your insurance claim. |
| Fence Post Repair & Replacement | From $450 | Stockton's expansive clay swells in winter rains and shrinks in summer, and sprinkler overspray rots posts at the ground line, the reason most fences lean. We reset or replace posts in fresh concrete, plumb and braced, saving the rest of your fence instead of selling you a new one. |
| Gate Installation & Repair | From $475 | Custom wood, vinyl and metal gates built square and hung right. Adjustable hinges, self-latching hardware and anti-sag bracing, plus rebuilds of gates that drag or bind after the clay shifts, usually the first part of any fence to fail. |
| Automatic & Driveway Gates | From $2,800 | Sliding and swing driveway gates with professional-grade openers, keypads and safety sensors. Installation and repair on all major opener brands, plus solar-powered options for orchard and ranchette properties around Lodi and Linden without trenched power. |
| Pool Fence Installation | From $34/ft | Aluminum, mesh and glass pool barriers for Stockton-area backyards, built to the pool barrier code that applies at your address. Self-closing, self-latching gates and posts set for shifting clay, and we walk the requirements with you before a single post is set. |
| Fence Replacement & Removal | From $2,400 | Complete tear-out, haul-away and rebuild, or a straight removal if that's all you need. We reuse what's sound, replace what isn't, and quote repair versus full replacement side by side so you decide with real numbers. |
| Fence Staining & Restoration | From $950 | Professional cleaning, brightening and stain-sealing for redwood and cedar fences. Done right it can double the life of the wood under Stockton's hot dry summers and damp winter fog, and we tell you when staining still makes sense and when the wood is past saving. |
| Commercial & Temporary Fencing | Free site quote | Commercial chain link, security fencing, temporary construction fence and silt fence for jobsites across Stockton and the Port of Stockton industrial corridor. Fast installs, code-aware layouts and volume pricing for builders, GCs and property managers. |
| Farm & Ranch Fencing | From $12/ft | Ranch rail, no-climb horse fence, field wire and pipe fencing for orchards, vineyards and acreage across San Joaquin County. We cover Lodi, Linden, Escalon and the Delta farmland with straight lines over long runs, braced corners and gates sized for trailers and equipment. |
What Affects the Price
- Materials and style : Wood, vinyl, chain link, and ornamental metal have different material costs per linear foot, and style choices like height, picket spacing, and decorative elements affect the total price.
- Linear footage and layout : The total length of fence needed, number of corners, gates, and posts directly impacts material and labor costs. More complex layouts require more materials and time.
- Site conditions and accessibility : Sloped terrain, rocky soil, obstructions like trees or roots, and limited access to the work area can increase installation difficulty and labor time.
- Permits and HOA requirements : Some fence projects require city permits or HOA approval, which may add fees or require specific materials and designs that affect the overall cost.

Pricing FAQ
Why do fence prices vary so much?
