Your Property Deserves Better Than Big Box Fence Panels
Pre-made fence panels from home improvement stores use the cheapest wood grades, minimal fasteners, and cookie-cutter designs. Within 3 to 5 years, you'll see the results: boards warping, posts leaning, sections failing. You'll spend weekends repairing or eventually tearing it down and starting over.
You're investing in your property.
Quality wood fencing combines natural wood warmth with structural integrity that lasts 20+ years. The right wood species for wine country's climate. Posts set deep with proper concrete. Craftsmanship that turns a functional boundary into a natural, inviting feature of your outdoor space.
We build wood fences that give you privacy to relax in your backyard, natural beauty that ages gracefully, and structural integrity you won't worry about for decades.
Why Our Wood Fences Are Different
We're not typical wood fence installers. We fabricate custom metal, automated gates, and railings—which means we bring precision engineering and quality standards to wood fencing that other contractors don't.
What this means for you:
Proper structural engineering (post depth, bracing, load calculations)
Premium material selection (we know quality wood)
Attention to detail from metal fabrication work
Built to last decades, not just meet minimum code
Most fence companies rush through installs to maximize volume. We treat wood fencing with the same craftsmanship we bring to custom metal projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does wood fencing last?
With simple maintenance (staining every 2-3 years), quality wood fencing lasts 20 to 30 years. Redwood and cedar naturally last longer due to rot and insect resistance. The key factors are wood quality, proper post installation with concrete, and periodic sealing. In Sonoma County's climate, redwood performs exceptionally well—often lasting 25-30 years with basic care.
Do I have to stain my wood fence?
No, but it depends on your goals. If you want to keep the original wood color, stain or seal within 6-12 months and reapply every 2-3 years. If you're fine with natural weathering to silver-gray, you can skip staining (though sealing still helps prevent splitting and extends life). Redwood and cedar can be left natural. For longest lifespan, we recommend at minimum sealing even if you like the natural gray look.
What's better for Sonoma County: redwood or cedar?
Redwood is ideal for Sonoma County. It's naturally rot-resistant, perfect for fog and moisture, grows locally, and lasts 25-30 years with basic maintenance. Cedar is also excellent and slightly less expensive—naturally insect-resistant, aromatic, takes stain beautifully. Both are great choices. Pressure-treated pine is most budget-friendly but doesn't have the natural beauty or longevity of redwood/cedar. We'll recommend based on your budget and priorities.
Can you install on sloped property?
Yes. For gentle slopes, we rack the fence (angle panels to follow grade). For steeper slopes, we use stepped design (each panel level but at different heights). The approach depends on slope angle, fence style, and your preferences. During the site visit, we'll show you examples and recommend the best method for your property.
What maintenance does wood fencing need?
Simple periodic care keeps wood fences beautiful for decades. Annually: clean with soap and water (2-3 hours) and inspect for damage. Every 2-3 years: apply stain or sealant to maintain color and protect against UV/moisture (one weekend, $200-300 DIY or $400-600 professional). Occasional repairs: replace split boards, tighten hardware, address any issues. Total annual maintenance cost: $200-400 if hired out, minimal if DIY. Much less than replacing a cheap fence every 5-7 years.
