A fence is several hundred feet of carpentry that everyone sees every day. We build custom wood fences only: designed for your yard, matched to your house, and set in the ground like we expect to drive past them for twenty years, because we will.
Styles we build
Every fence below is stick-built on site to your line, grade, and height, never pre-fab panels dropped between posts.

Gates, steps, and the details that separate fences
- Gates and double gates built with correct diagonal bracing, upsized hinge posts, and hardware rated for the weight, so year ten swings like day one
- Stepped fencing on slopes: crisp panel steps or contour-racked lines, your call after we walk the grade
- Matching trim: fascia boards, corner details, and transitions that make the fence read as designed, not assembled
- Decorative post caps: flat, pyramid, or solar, the jewelry on a good fence
- House-matched finishes: stained, painted to match trim, or left to silver naturally
What drives the price
Linear feet first, then style (board-on-board and picture-frame horizontal use meaningfully more lumber than dog-ear), then gates, grade, and old-fence teardown. Cedar versus treated pine moves material cost; the labor is similar. Your quote itemizes by run and by gate so you can trim scope with real numbers.
Fences finish projects
A fence is usually the frame around something else we build: new decks get privacy walls, sheds get yard enclosures for the dog that inspired both, and pool fencing has code rules we know cold (see pool houses). Building fence and structure together always beats sequencing them; tell us the whole picture and we'll quote it that way.
Build process
Walk the line together (property pins, utilities located, grade plan), style and height settled, posts set in concrete and left to cure properly, then rails, boards, gates, trim, and caps. Weather and cure time set the honest pace: most residential fences finish inside a week.
