Fence Types We Install Across Sacramento
As a full-service fence contractor in Sacramento, VMK Builders installs every major fence type for residential properties. Each material is suited to different needs, budgets, and neighborhood styles:
Wood Fence Installation — Starting at $45/Linear Foot
Wood fences remain the most popular choice for Sacramento homeowners. We build standard dog-ear privacy fences, picture frame fences, board-on-board designs, and lattice-top fences using premium pressure-treated posts and quality cedar or redwood pickets. Wood fences provide excellent privacy and a classic look that complements Sacramento’s established neighborhoods. Most wood fence installations are completed in 1-3 days depending on the linear footage.
Vinyl Fence Installation — Starting at $70/Linear Foot
Vinyl fences are ideal for Sacramento homeowners who want zero-maintenance fencing that withstands our hot summers without warping, cracking, or fading. Vinyl never needs painting or staining, won’t rot from sprinkler exposure, and typically lasts 25-30 years with no upkeep. We install privacy panels, semi-privacy styles, picket fences, and ranch-rail vinyl in white, tan, and gray options.
Ornamental Iron Fence — Starting at $60/Linear Foot
Iron fences add elegance and security without blocking sightlines. Popular in Sacramento’s Land Park, East Sacramento, and Granite Bay neighborhoods, ornamental iron is also the preferred material for pool fencing that meets California’s safety codes. Our iron fences are powder-coated for corrosion resistance in Sacramento’s climate.
Fence — Starting at $40/Linear Foot
fencing is the most affordable option for Sacramento properties that need a functional boundary, pet containment, or commercial perimeter. We install galvanized and vinyl-coated in heights from 4 to 8 feet, with optional privacy slats and barbed wire for commercial applications.
Trex Composite Fence — Starting at $130/Linear Foot
Trex composite fencing is the premium, low-maintenance alternative to wood. Made from recycled materials, Trex fences won’t warp, rot, or splinter and come with a 25-year manufacturer warranty. They’re especially popular in newer Sacramento communities like Natomas and Folsom where HOAs require consistent fence appearance over time.
Gates, Decks & Specialty Fencing
Beyond standard fencing, VMK also installs walk gates and driveway gates, RV gates (starting at $1,500), pool fences compliant with California safety codes, steel-core fences, and custom decks. Whatever your property needs, we have a solution.

Our Fence Installation Process
When you hire VMK as your fence contractor in Sacramento, here’s exactly what to expect:
Step 1: Free On-Site Estimate
Vlad comes to your property, measures the fence line, discusses your goals (privacy, security, aesthetics, pet containment), reviews material options, and provides a detailed written estimate — usually within 24 hours. There’s no pressure and no obligation.
Step 2: Material Selection & Scheduling
Once you approve the estimate, we help you select the exact materials, colors, and style. We handle permit applications if required (Sacramento County requires permits for fences over 6 feet). Most projects are scheduled within 1-2 weeks of approval.
Step 3: Old Fence Removal
On installation day, our crew removes your existing fence (included in the price), hauls away all debris, and prepares the fence line. We call 811 before digging to locate underground utilities — safety first.
Step 4: Professional Installation
Posts are set in concrete to proper depth (minimum 24 inches, deeper for gates and corner posts). Rails are leveled and secured. Pickets, panels, or mesh are installed with precision. Every fence is built plumb, level, and square — no shortcuts.
Step 5: Final Walkthrough & Cleanup
We walk the completed fence with you, address any questions, clean up the work area completely, and make sure you’re 100% satisfied before we leave. Your 5-year workmanship warranty starts the day we finish.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fence Contractors in Sacramento
How do I find a good fence contractor in Sacramento?
Look for a licensed (California C-13 Fencing Contractor license), insured fence contractor with strong Google reviews, transparent pricing, and a written warranty. Ask if the owner or a project manager will be on-site during installation. Avoid contractors who require large upfront deposits or won’t provide a detailed written estimate. VMK Builders is fully licensed, carries general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and backs every project with a 5-year workmanship warranty.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Sacramento?
In Sacramento County, fences 6 feet or under in side and rear yards typically do not require a permit. Fences over 6 feet, fences in front yards, and fences near property lines with specific setback requirements may need a building permit. Pool fences must comply with California Building Code Section 3109. VMK helps Sacramento homeowners navigate permit requirements as part of our fence contracting service.

Most residential fence installations in Sacramento take 1-3 days once the crew is on-site. A standard 150-200 linear foot wood privacy fence is typically completed in 1-2 days. Larger projects, vinyl and composite fences, or properties with difficult terrain (slopes, rocky soil, tree roots) may take 3-5 days.

What is the best fence material for Sacramento’s climate?
Sacramento’s hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters affect different fence materials in different ways. Wood fences perform well when properly sealed but need re-staining every 2-3 years. Vinyl and Trex composite are the most weather-resistant options — they won’t warp, crack, or rot from Sacramento’s temperature swings. Iron fences hold up excellently with powder coating. is virtually maintenance-free. Read our comparison: Wood vs Vinyl Fence for Sacramento Homes
