Wood, iron, pool, and non-combustible fence installation built for the Peninsula.
A fence is a property line, a privacy screen, a safety barrier, and a first impression all at once. We build every type of fence the Peninsula requires — and we build them to last.
Since 1995, North Fence and Deck Co. has been installing fences across the San Francisco Peninsula — from the fog-heavy flatlands of Daly City to the hillside lots of Brisbane and Pacifica. The coastal climate here is unforgiving on exterior materials. Heart redwood handles salt air and moisture without the rot that kills cheaper lumber. Iron and steel require galvanizing or powder coating matched to the actual exposure on your site — not a catalog default. We specify materials for your property, not a generic job.
Post installation is where most fences fail early, and it's where we invest the most care. Posts set in concrete without a drainage break at the base trap moisture and rot from the bottom up — you won't see the damage until the post moves. We dig to the correct depth for your soil conditions, set posts with proper drainage at grade, and treat all cut ends before they go in the ground. For properties where ground contact rot is a recurring problem, we offer Postmaster steel post conversions that eliminate wood-to-soil contact entirely — the same structural approach we bring to our rot and post replacement work.
Our fencing work spans four specialized areas. Redwood privacy fencing remains the Peninsula standard for good reason — it performs here. Ornamental iron and custom gates are the right call when security and permanence matter more than wood grain. Pool safety fencing follows California Building Code Section R4501 to the letter, with self-closing, self-latching hardware and climb-resistant profiles. And for hillside properties in WUI-designated fire zones — particularly in Brisbane, Pacifica, and the San Francisco hillside neighborhoods — our Zone Zero non-combustible fencing solutions use metal, masonry, and fiber-cement systems that meet current fire code at the property line.
The properties we work on are not generic. Tight side yards, sloped lots, clay soil that shifts in a wet winter, coastal exposure, city-specific permit requirements, HOA rules, and increasingly WUI fire code designations that change what materials are allowed at the property line — we have worked in every city we serve and know what each one requires before we pull the first permit. That institutional knowledge is not something you get from a contractor who covers the whole Bay Area from a single office.
When you call us for an estimate, you get a site visit — not a phone quote. We walk the property, look at the grade, check the soil at existing post locations if there's a fence to replace, and ask what you actually need the fence to do. The estimate we provide is specific to your property and your goals, not a per-linear-foot rate applied to a measurement pulled from a satellite map.
