How long does fence installation typically take?

Most residential fence installations take between one to three days depending on the size of your property and the type of fence. A typical backyard fence might be completed in a day or two, while larger properties or more complex designs take longer. We give you a timeline estimate during your consultation and keep you updated if weather or other factors cause any delays. Commercial projects vary more widely based on scope.

Do I need a permit to install a fence in Encinitas?

In most cases, yes. The City of Encinitas requires permits for most fence installations, especially for fences over a certain height or in front yards. We can help you determine if your project needs a permit and assist with the application process. If you live in an HOA community, you will also need approval from your homeowners association. We recommend starting this process early as permit processing can take several weeks.

What is the best fence material for coastal Encinitas weather?

Living near the coast presents unique challenges with salt air and moisture. Vinyl and aluminum fences hold up exceptionally well in coastal conditions because they do not rust or rot. If you prefer the look of wood, we recommend cedar or redwood treated with quality sealants, which naturally resist moisture better than other woods. We discuss your specific location and exposure during consultation to recommend the best materials for your situation and budget.
