How much does fence installation cost in Sacramento?

Sacramento fence installation costs depend on material and linear footage. Wood privacy fences cost $45-55/ft, picture frame $68-93/ft, vinyl $70-85/ft, iron $60-80/ft $40-60/ft, and Trex composite $130-155/ft. All prices include old fence removal, post setting in concrete, and installation. Walk gates start at $500, RV gates at $1,500.

What type of fence is best for Sacramento backyards?

Wood privacy fences (dog-ear or board-on-board) are the most popular backyard fence in Sacramento because they offer full privacy at an affordable price. For zero-maintenance options, vinyl and Trex composite hold up well in Sacramento heat. VMK recommends metal posts with wood fences to prevent ground-contact rot in Sacramento clay soil.

How deep should fence posts be set in Sacramento?

VMK sets all fence posts 30-36 inches deep in concrete footings. Sacramento clay soil expands when wet and contracts when dry, which loosens shallow posts. Posts set less than 24 inches deep will typically lean within 1-2 years. Gate posts and RV gate posts require even deeper holes with larger concrete footings.

Does VMK remove the old fence before installing a new one?

Yes. Every VMK fence installation includes complete removal of your existing fence at no extra charge. We tear out old panels, pull posts and concrete footings, and haul away all debris before starting your new fence.

How long does it take to install a new fence in Sacramento?

Most residential fence installations are completed in 1-3 days depending on total linear footage and fence type. VMK typically schedules installation within 1-2 weeks of quote approval. We complete the job, clean up daily, and perform a final walk-through before collecting payment.

Do Sacramento fence contractors need a license?

California requires a C-13 Fencing Contractor license for fence projects over $500. Always verify your contractor is properly licensed and insured. VMK Builders is fully licensed and insured for residential fence installation across Sacramento County and Placer County.

Why Sacramento Homeowners Choose VMK

Most fences look fine on day one. The difference is what’s underneath — post depth, concrete footings, fastener quality, and whether the crew actually leveled every panel. That’s where VMK stands apart from other Sacramento fence contractors:

Deep-set posts in concrete — not shallow holes backfilled with dirt that lean within a year
Pressure-treated, ground-contact-rated lumber — no cheap untreated pine
Galvanized and stainless-steel hardware — no rust streaks after the first winter
Grade-following installation — panels follow your yard’s natural slope instead of leaving gaps at the bottom
