A well-built fence defines your property, provides privacy, keeps kids and pets safe, and adds value to your home. Poor fence installation shows up quickly—leaning posts, sagging panels, and structures that fail after the first strong wind.
I install wood fences throughout Carmichael with attention to proper post depth, correct spacing, and solid construction. Whether you need a privacy fence around your backyard or a decorative picket fence along your front yard, you'll get a fence that stands straight and lasts for years.

Why Neighbors Trust Me With Their Fence
Proper Post Installation
Posts set in concrete below frost line, correctly aligned and plumb. The foundation of a fence that lasts.
Quality Materials
Pressure-treated posts for ground contact, quality lumber, and galvanized hardware that resists rust.
Straight and Level
Rails level, boards plumb, and consistent spacing throughout — details that separate professional work.
Code Compliance
Familiar with local setback requirements, height restrictions, and permit requirements in Carmichael.
Solid Construction
Proper fasteners, correct spacing, secure attachment at all connection points.
Clean Work
Property protected during installation, job site cleaned daily, all debris removed when finished.
Wood Fence Materials
All posts should be pressure-treated for ground contact, even if fence boards are redwood or cedar.
Redwood
20–25 yrsNaturally rot and insect resistant. Beautiful color that weathers to silver-gray. Lasts 20–25 years with proper care.
Cedar
15–20 yrsNaturally resistant to decay and insects. Good balance of cost and longevity.
Pressure-Treated Pine
15–20 yrsMost economical option. Chemically treated for rot resistance. Lasts 15–20 years when properly maintained.
Fence Installation Process
Measure & Plan
I measure your property, discuss fence style and height, review local codes, and locate underground utilities.
Mark & Dig
Fence line marked, post holes dug 24–36 inches deep with proper spacing.
Set Posts
Posts set in concrete with perfect alignment and plumb — the most critical step for a lasting fence.
Rails & Boards
Rails attached between posts, boards installed with consistent spacing and proper fasteners.
Gates & Finish
Gates hung with proper hardware, site cleaned, debris removed. You inspect the finished fence.
Fence Height & Local Codes
Sacramento County has regulations on fence height, setbacks, and permits. Front yard fences are typically limited to 3–4 feet. Backyard fences can be 6 feet without permits in most cases, up to 8 feet with approval.
If you're in an HOA, fence styles and colors may be restricted — I can work within HOA requirements. Know your property lines before installing: surveys prevent disputes with neighbors.
Already Have a Fence That Needs Repair?
I fix leaning posts, replace rotted boards, repair broken rails, and restore gates that don't close properly.
