Learn MoreReach out by phone or through our contact form. We ask a few basic questions about your yard, the type of fence you have in mind, and any existing fence that needs to come down. You get a real person, not a bot, and we respond within 1 business day.
We come to your property, walk the fence line with you, check the terrain, and confirm where the property boundary sits. You get a written, itemized quote that covers materials, labor, permit fees if applicable, and cleanup. No surprise add-ons after you sign.
Our crew handles the work from post-setting to final walkthrough. We pull any required permits, keep the site clean during the job, and haul away all debris when we are done. Before we leave, you walk the fence with us and confirm everything meets your expectations.
We hold a current California Contractors State License Board license and carry full liability insurance and workers' compensation on every project - so you are protected if anything goes wrong.
Every estimate is free, and you are under no obligation to book. We come to your property, measure the fence line, and hand you a written quote - no pressure, no follow-up sales calls.
We have been working in South San Francisco and the surrounding Peninsula communities since 2018. We know the local permit requirements, the wind patterns off the Bay, and the soil conditions in the hillside neighborhoods.
We walk every finished job with you before we call it done. If something is not up to standard - a post that is not plumb, a gate that does not latch cleanly - we address it on the spot, not after a callback.

The crew showed up when they said they would and finished our wood fence in two days. The posts feel rock solid - I pushed on every single one. Way sturdier than the fence we had before.
Marcus T., South San Francisco - Wood fence installation
I got three quotes and these guys were in the middle price-wise. What sold me was that they actually walked my sloped backyard and explained exactly how they would handle the grade. The vinyl fence looks clean all the way down the hill.
Janelle R., Daly City - Vinyl fence installation
Our old chain link was rusting out and the gate would not stay closed. They replaced the whole thing in a day and the new gate latches every time. Simple job done right.
Daniel M., San Bruno - Fence replacement

Yes. The San Bruno Gap funnels strong, persistent bay winds into local neighborhoods. Posts set less than one-third of their length into the ground will lean or fall within a few years. Always ask your contractor how deep they set posts and whether they use concrete.
Vinyl holds up better. South San Francisco's marine layer is relentless from May through September. Untreated or improperly sealed wood absorbs that moisture and rots faster than in drier climates. Vinyl never absorbs water, so fog and rain do not degrade it the way they degrade wood.
The City of South San Francisco generally requires a permit for fences taller than six feet. Front yard and corner lot fences have stricter limits. Your contractor should verify the rules for your address with the Building Division before any posts go in.
California law addresses this. If a fence sits on the boundary between two properties, both owners are generally considered to share responsibility for upkeep and cost. A short conversation with your neighbor before you start avoids disputes after the fence is in.
The city can require you to remove or modify the fence at your expense. That problem also surfaces during a home sale when a buyer's inspector flags it. A reputable contractor pulls the permit for you and includes that cost in the quote.
Redwood naturally resists moisture and insects without chemical treatment, which matters in a city with morning fog almost every day. It costs more than pressure-treated pine upfront but requires less maintenance and typically lasts longer in this specific climate.

GV South San Francisco Fence is a licensed and insured fence contractor based in South San Francisco, CA, serving 12 communities across the San Francisco Peninsula since 2018. We hold a current license issued by the California Contractors State License Board - the state authority that regulates residential and commercial contractors in California.

If only one or two posts have shifted and the rest of the fence is solid, targeted repair is usually the right call. Once more than a third of the posts are failing or the wood has widespread rot, full replacement is almost always more cost-effective.
Posts should go into the ground at least one-third of their total length. A 6-foot fence post needs at least 2 feet underground. Concrete should fill the hole completely and dome slightly above grade to shed water away from the base.
Compare the scope of work, not just the price. A bid that leaves out permit fees, old fence removal, and cleanup looks cheaper on paper but will cost more by the time the job is done. Ask every bidder to give you an all-in number.

South San Francisco is a dense, working city of roughly 67,000 residents packed into about 9 square miles on the San Francisco Peninsula. It is known worldwide as "The Industrial City"- a nickname that has been cut into the hillside above town since 1923. Homes range from flat-lot bungalows near downtown to steep hillside properties below San Bruno Mountain State and County Park, with everything in between.
Most of the housing stock was built between the 1940s and 1970s, which means a large share of yards have fences that are 30 to 50 years old - or no fence at all on properties where one was never installed. The city sits in a natural wind corridor, and its position on the Bay means coastal fog rolls in through the San Bruno Gap almost every morning. Those conditions are harder on wood fencing than most homeowners expect, and they are a big reason we recommend rot-resistant materials and proper sealing for any wood installation here. The city is also home to the Genentech campus, one of the largest biotech employers on the Peninsula, and home values here reflect the area demand - median values well above $800,000 make property upkeep a practical investment, not just an aesthetic one.
We work on homes all across South San Francisco - from the flatlands near the waterfront to the steep hillside streets above El Camino Real. Whether your yard is flat, sloped, or terraced, and whether you need a simple boundary fence or a full perimeter replacement, GV South San Francisco Fence provides free on-site estimates and handles permits with the City of South San Francisco Building Division when required. Call us at (650) 360-9238 and we will get you scheduled.
