Wood Fences

Why Choose Wood Fencing

Wood fencing has been the gold standard for residential properties for good reason. It offers natural warmth, timeless appeal, and the flexibility to match any architectural style. From traditional picket fences to modern horizontal slat designs, wood adapts to your vision like no other material.

Here in San Bruno, wood fences are particularly popular because they complement the mix of classic and contemporary homes throughout the area. Whether you're in a neighborhood with Victorian-era homes or newer developments, a well-built wood fence adds character and value to your property.

Wood is also a smart environmental choice. It's renewable, biodegradable, and has a lower carbon footprint than many synthetic alternatives. Plus, when properly maintained, a quality wood fence can last 20-30 years or more.

Keeping Your Wood Fence Beautiful

Let's be honest: wood fences require more maintenance than vinyl or aluminum. But that maintenance is straightforward, and many homeowners find it rewarding to care for their fence. We'll show you exactly what needs to be done and how often.

In San Bruno's climate, we recommend inspecting your fence twice a year. Look for loose boards, protruding nails, or signs of rot. A simple wash with a garden hose removes dirt and mildew. Every 2-3 years, you'll want to restain or reseal the wood to protect it from moisture and UV damage.

The good news? Unlike other materials, minor damage to wood fences is easy to repair. If a board gets damaged, we can replace just that one piece. Compare that to vinyl fencing, where you might need to replace an entire panel. And if you ever need help, our fence repair services are just a phone call away.

Our Wood Fence Installation Process

We've installed hundreds of wood fences throughout San Bruno and the surrounding areas. Our process ensures your fence looks great and stands strong for decades. We start by carefully measuring your property and discussing design options. Then we mark underground utilities, set posts in concrete with proper depth and spacing, and install rails and boards with precision.

Quality hardware matters. We use galvanized or stainless steel fasteners that won't rust and stain your wood. Posts are set 2-3 feet deep in concrete for stability. And we always check that gates swing smoothly and latch securely. When we're done, you'll have a fence that looks professional and performs flawlessly.
