Learn MoreReach out by phone or through our contact form. We will ask a few quick questions - fence length, style preference, and whether it is a shared property line. Someone from our office will respond within 1 business day to schedule a free on-site estimate at a time that works for you.
We walk your property line, take measurements, check the soil and slope conditions, and look at any existing fence that needs to be removed. You get a written proposal that separates materials, labor, and permit fees - no bundled lump sum. We also handle the city permit application before any work begins.
Once the permit is approved, we schedule your installation - most standard residential fences wrap up in one to two days. Before the crew leaves, we walk the fence line with you, verify all gates latch and swing correctly, and confirm cleanup is done. The closed permit goes in your home file when the city inspection passes.
We hold an active California Contractors State License Board license and carry general liability insurance on every project. You can verify our license number on the CSLB website before signing anything.
Every estimate is done in person at your property - not over the phone, not based on a photo. We measure the fence line, check soil and slope conditions, and give you a written, itemized proposal at no charge.
We have been working in Burlingame and the surrounding Peninsula cities since 2019. We know the local permit office, the soil conditions in different neighborhoods, and how the coastal fog affects different materials over time.
We handle the full permit process with the City of Burlingame from application to final inspection. Every completed project has a closed city permit on record, which protects your home's value when you sell.

"We had a 60-foot wood fence installed along our back property line. The crew finished in one day, which I didn't expect, and they walked us through the gate hardware before leaving. The permit was already closed by the time we listed the house six months later - that paperwork made the sale easier."
Mark T., Burlingame - Wood fence installation
"We replaced our old chain link with vinyl-coated after the posts started rusting near the base. The new fence is much cleaner looking and the installer explained exactly why the coating matters this close to the Bay. No complaints - solid work and they cleaned up before they left."
Diana R., San Mateo - Chain link fence installation
"I had a pool fence installed to meet the county safety requirements before summer. They got the estimate done quickly and the installation was scheduled within two weeks of signing. The latch hardware is exactly what the code requires and the inspector approved it on the first visit."

Yes - Burlingame's marine layer brings persistent moisture that seeps into wood grain and speeds up rot, especially at post bases. Choosing rot-resistant species like cedar or redwood, and sealing the wood every few years, can double the fence's lifespan compared to untreated pine in the same conditions.
In Burlingame, you generally need a permit for fences over six feet in the side or rear yard, and front-yard fences have lower height limits. Skipping the permit can cause real problems at resale. The City of Burlingame Community Development Department is the place to confirm the current rules for your specific property.
Wood is the warmest-looking option and costs less upfront, but needs the most maintenance in a coastal climate. Vinyl costs more to install but requires almost no upkeep over its 20-30 year lifespan. Aluminum is the best choice when you want a clean look and zero rust risk near the Bay.
Even a few inches over the line can trigger a legal dispute that is expensive to resolve. Before any post goes in, we confirm property boundaries using available survey records. On Burlingame lots where neighbors are close together, getting this right from the start prevents years of friction.
Burlingame's clay-heavy soil expands when wet and contracts when dry, which can shift posts over time if they are not set deeply enough with proper drainage. Tree roots along the fence line can also redirect drilling and require adjustments to post spacing. Both issues are common in established Peninsula neighborhoods and should be factored into your estimate.
Yes - in many Burlingame neighborhoods, HOA requirements are separate from city permits and can be stricter. You may need HOA board approval before a contractor starts, and that process can add two to four weeks to your timeline. Check your governing documents before signing any contract. The American Fence Association publishes homeowner guidance on this process.
Elite Burlingame Fence is a licensed and insured fence contractor company based in Burlingame, CA, serving 12 cities across San Mateo County since 2019.
We hold an active license issued by the California Contractors State License Board and carry general liability insurance on every job. Both are verifiable before you sign anything.
Since 2019, we have completed wood, vinyl, chain link, aluminum, and ornamental iron fence projects across 12 communities on the Peninsula, offering 16 residential and commercial fencing services.
Wobbly posts usually mean rot at the base or concrete that has shifted. If just one or two posts are affected, a targeted repair makes sense. If the problem is widespread along the fence line, replacement is usually more cost-effective than patching each post individually.
Late spring through fall is the most common installation window because the dry season makes digging easier and concrete cures more reliably without rain. That said, Burlingame winters are mild enough that installations happen year-round. Scheduling earlier in the dry season gives you more contractor availability and shorter lead times.
Get at least two or three written, itemized quotes. A quote that does not separate materials from labor is harder to compare. Very low bids often mean the contractor is cutting corners on post depth, material quality, or the permit process - all things you will notice within a few years. The California Contractors State License Board lets you verify any contractor's license and complaint history for free.

Burlingame is a small, dense city of roughly 32,000 residents on the San Francisco Peninsula, covering about 6 square miles between San Francisco to the north and San Jose to the south along the Caltrain corridor. The city's residential neighborhoods - Burlingame Park, Easton Addition, and Ray Park - are made up largely of Craftsman bungalows and Spanish Colonial Revival homes built between the 1920s and 1950s. Most of these homes sit on modest lots where neighbors are close, fences are shared, and outdoor space is used year-round.
The city is home to well-known landmarks including Washington Park, a central gathering space with a rose garden, sports fields, and a recreation center, and the historic 1894 Caltrain depot - one of the most recognized train stations on the Peninsula. The city's tight-knit neighborhoods, active historic preservation program, and high rate of owner-occupied homes mean residents invest in maintaining and improving their properties.
Elite Burlingame Fence has been working in Burlingame since 2019, which means we know the permit office, the soil conditions neighborhood by neighborhood, and how the marine fog that rolls in off the Bay affects different fencing materials over time. When you hire us, you are not getting a company that is new to this city - you are getting a team that has already solved the problems your yard is likely to present.
