A fence designed around your home, your lot, and the Bay Area's coastal climate - not a stock panel from a hardware store catalog.

Custom fence design in Burlingame means a contractor works with you to choose the style, height, material, and layout that fits your specific yard and goals - then builds it to your property's exact dimensions, not whatever is in stock. Most residential projects run three to five weeks from first call to finished fence, with the permit review accounting for one to two weeks of that window.
Burlingame homeowners come to us for a few different reasons: an aging fence that has been patched too many times, a new dog or backyard pool that needs a real barrier, or a front yard that does not match the quality of the rest of the property. Whatever your starting point, the process is the same - a conversation about what you need the fence to do, a visit to your yard, and a design that makes sense for your specific situation.
If your existing fence just needs repairs rather than a full replacement, we handle that too. See our pool fence installation service if you need a code-compliant barrier around a pool or spa.
If you can push on a fence panel and feel it flex or see posts that have started to tilt, the structure is failing. In Burlingame's damp climate, wood fences that were not properly finished can begin to rot from the base up - and once the posts go soft, patching individual boards will not fix the underlying problem.
Burlingame lots are close together, and many older homes have low or decorative fencing that does nothing to screen your outdoor space. If you find yourself avoiding your backyard because you feel on display, a custom fence designed to your yard's specific layout can change how you use your outdoor space entirely.
A new dog or backyard pool creates an immediate safety need that a decorative or aging fence cannot meet. Custom design lets you choose the right height and gate configuration for your specific situation rather than working around a fence that was not built for your life.
Burlingame has a strong tradition of architecturally distinct homes - Craftsman bungalows, Spanish Colonials, and mid-century ranches are common. A mismatched or deteriorating fence can undercut your home's curb appeal and, in a competitive real estate market, that matters more than most homeowners realize.
We design and build custom fences in wood, vinyl, aluminum, and composite - each suited to different budgets, maintenance preferences, and aesthetic goals. The design process starts with a conversation about what the fence needs to do, then moves to an on-site visit where we measure your yard, assess the grade of the land, note any trees or obstacles, and talk through style options in person. We handle the permit application with the City of Burlingame and verify your property boundaries before a single post goes in the ground. After installation, we walk the fence with you to confirm everything is right before we leave.
For specialty applications, we also offer pool fence installation designed to meet California's barrier code requirements, and ornamental iron fence installation for homeowners who want a high-end look with decades of durability.

Burlingame's proximity to San Francisco Bay means persistent coastal moisture, morning fog, and salt-laden air year-round. Wood fences that are not properly sealed or finished can start to gray, crack, and rot faster here than they would in a drier inland climate. This affects both material selection and the finishing work - a custom fence designed for Burlingame is built with that environment in mind from the start. Many of the city's older neighborhoods - including Easton Addition and Burlingame Park - also have mature trees with surface roots that complicate post installation, and lots are close enough together that property line accuracy is not optional.
We design and install custom fences throughout Burlingame and the surrounding Peninsula, including San Mateo and Belmont. If you have questions about materials, permits, or HOA requirements before committing, we are happy to answer them - no obligation.
We ask a few questions before visiting - what you want the fence to do, whether you have an HOA, and roughly how much fencing you think you need. We reply within one business day and schedule the on-site visit from there.
We visit your property to measure the area, assess the grade of the land, note any trees or obstacles, and talk through design options with you in person. A written estimate follows within a few days - no pressure to decide on the spot.
Once you approve the design and sign a contract, we apply for the required permit with the City of Burlingame. This step typically takes one to two weeks. We handle all the paperwork so you do not have to visit City Hall.
For most residential yards, installation takes one to three days. Posts go in first, set in concrete that needs time to cure. We walk the finished fence with you before we leave - confirming gates latch properly, the line is straight, and the site is clean.
Free estimate, no obligation. Permit timelines in Burlingame mean the sooner you start, the sooner your yard is finished.
(650) 582-0659Pulling a permit from the City of Burlingame involves paperwork, plan review, and waiting - and most homeowners have never done it before. We handle the entire application and keep you updated on the timeline, so the fence is built to pass inspection the first time. No surprises when you sell your home.
In Burlingame's tightly spaced neighborhoods, a fence installed even slightly over the line can turn into a neighbor dispute that costs far more to resolve than the fence itself. We verify your property boundaries before a single post goes in - referencing your survey or recommending one if needed.
We help you choose finishes and materials that hold up to the Bay Area's wet winters and salt air. The result is a fence that still looks good a decade from now - not one that starts to gray and crack by the third rainy season. The American Fence Association recommends material selection tailored to the local climate.
We know the permit office, the soil conditions, and the architectural character of Burlingame's neighborhoods - from Craftsman bungalows in Burlingame Park to mid-century ranches near the hills. That local knowledge shapes every design we produce.
Every project starts with an honest conversation about what is actually right for your yard and your budget. We walk you through the design in detail before anything is ordered or built, so there are no surprises on installation day. California contractor licensing requirements and Burlingame's building permit process are both things a qualified local contractor should know inside and out.
