From the Coast to the Canyons: Our San Diego Service Areas

We’re based in Santee, but we work across all of San Diego County. Every area is different, and we build with that in mind so your fence actually holds up where you live.

Coastal & North County

Near the coast, salt air and moisture can wear things down fast. We use the right materials and finishes so your fencing lasts.

We handle custom gates and ironwork in La Jolla and Del Mar, build durable railings and security doors in Coronado and Point Loma, and install clean glass fencing in Encinitas, Solana Beach, and Leucadia to keep views open. In Carlsbad and Oceanside, we focus on low-maintenance vinyl and iron fencing, while in Pacific Beach, we handle reliable fencing and gates for busy residential areas.

Central & East County

We know these areas well the heat, the soil, and what actually works long-term.

In El Cajon and Lakeside, we install fencing that holds up under strong sun. In La Mesa and Mt. Helix, we handle slopes, hillsides, and custom layouts that need careful installation. For Chula Vista and South Bay, we build privacy fencing and chain link systems for both homes and businesses. Across San Diego, from North Park to Clairemont, we cover it all.

Why Location Matters

We don’t build the same fence everywhere. What works near the coast won’t always work inland. We build based on your exact location so your fence doesn’t just look good, it stays strong over time.

What Your Neighbors Say After 40 Years

We don’t just “install fences,” we build relationships. Our Google and Angi profiles are full of stories of homeowners who wanted quality and found it with our team.

EXCELLENT

89 reviews

"We had three estimates for a 70-foot fence. Shadi was by far the best listener. Our iron fence is beautiful and even includes a hummingbird silhouette inset! The quality is top-notch with a 3-stage finish built to last."

Melanie L.

"I was pleasantly surprised when my custom gate was done in just 2 weeks. The 'automatic opener' guy was patient, hard-wired the button into my house, and even showed me how to bypass the gate during a power outage. Everything went smoothly."

Kenny G.

"Shadi's personality and knowledge converted us from a lateral wood gate to a decorative powder-coated metal double gate. No maintenance, longer-lasting, and no more wood rot. It looks spectacular!"

Kathy B.

"Recently had a beautiful custom gate made and installed. A family member was in contact with a family member, and I oversaw the installation. A wonderful experience."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does fence installation cost in San Diego?

Pricing depends on the total footage and your choice of material. Because we are a direct fence company with our own fabrication shop in Santee, we often provide better value on custom ironwork than contractors who buy pre-fabricated kits. We provide transparent, on-site quotes so you know the exact cost before we start.

Do you repair old fences or replace them?

Both. If your fence has structural integrity, we offer specialized fence repair to save you money. However, if the posts are rotted or the iron is structurally compromised, we’ll give you an honest recommendation on whether a full replacement is safer and more cost-effective in the long run.

What type of fence lasts longest in California weather?

For the San Diego sun and coastal salt air, vinyl fencing and powder-coated iron are the champions. Our in-house powder-coating process ensures your iron fence won’t rust like standard painted alternatives. If you prefer wood, we use high-grade materials and professional structural methods to maximize its lifespan against the elements.

Are you licensed fence contractors in San Diego?

Yes. Fred’s Fencing Inc. is a fully licensed, bonded, and insured fence company in San Diego, CA. We’ve maintained our standing in the local community since 1987, ensuring every project meets California building codes and local HOA requirements.

How fast can fence repair be done?

Most fence repairs can be scheduled and completed within a few business days. For larger installations, our Santee factory allows us to move faster than competitors who have to wait for shipped materials. We prioritize getting your property secure as quickly as possible.
