Fence Company in Reno, NV: Installation, Repair & Gates

Reno Fence Company serves homeowners across Reno, Sparks, Sun Valley, Spanish Springs and Cold Springs with new fence installation, repair, gates and storm damage work. Whether you are searching for a fence company near me in Reno or need urgent repairs to a fence that has failed, we handle wood and vinyl privacy fencing, chain link, aluminum and ornamental iron, pool barriers, and automatic driveway gates. We are the same crews on every job, not dispatched from a call center, and we know the ground and the housing stock here.

A fence is one of the first things a homeowner notices when it starts to fail. Leaning posts, sagging panels, dragging gates and storm damage bring calls every week. We assess the whole fence line, not just the section that moved, and we tell you honestly whether a repair will hold or whether replacement is the better spend. Call (775) 993-4968 for a free estimate, or read about the fence repair work we do most often.

Why Fences Lean in Reno: Clay Soil and Rotted Posts

Most leaning fences in this area fail at the post, not the panel. Soil moves with moisture cycles, working a post back and forth season after season until it racks out of plumb. At the same time, wood decays where it meets the ground, where humidity keeps the fiber damp year-round. A post set in tamped soil or shallow concrete can heave up as the ground shifts, and the load-bearing wood at the ground line rots from the inside out. You see a fence leaning, but the real problem is below grade.

We walk the entire fence line and test every post, not just the one that moved. We check whether the concrete footing itself has heaved or whether the post has failed inside a sound footing. We look at the pickets and rails to see whether they are still sound. A fence with good panels and a handful of failed posts is worth repairing. Resetting or replacing those posts saves the rest of the fence and costs far less than rebuilding the whole run. A fence where the posts have rotted at the ground line along the entire length is at end of life, and repairing it section by section over five years costs more than replacing it once. We quote both options when both are real, and we replace wood that has decayed at the ground line. Moisture is the cause. We do not perform termite or pest inspections, apply chemical treatments, or carry out pest control, which is a separate regulated trade in Nevada. Call (775) 993-4968 to have a fence line assessed, or visit our Fence Post Repair & Replacement page to learn more about the work.

A sound repair saves money and keeps a good fence in service. When replacement is the answer, we remove the old fence and set new posts in concrete, with proper spacing and racking to follow the grade. We quote by the linear foot and price it honestly. The difference between a repair that holds and a replacement that lasts is the work done below ground, where you cannot see it.

Storm Damage Fence Repair in Reno

Severe wind and storms can push entire fence runs over, snap posts at grade, or tear panels away. When that happens, the fence that goes back up should be stronger than the one that fell. We provide a free damage assessment, photograph the fence section by section, and give you a written estimate you may submit to your insurance carrier. We help document the damage, but coverage decisions rest with your insurer. We cannot promise that a claim will be approved or that any repair will be covered.

If your fence has been damaged in a storm, call (775) 993-4968 or request a free estimate. We will assess what failed and why, and quote the cost to rebuild it. For details on how we approach storm damage, see our Storm Damage Fence Repair page.

Cedar, Pine, Vinyl or Chain Link: Choosing for This Climate

The material you choose depends on what you want from a fence and how much time you want to spend maintaining it. Cedar looks beautiful and weathers to gray, but it wants cleaning and re-staining every two to three years under this sun and humidity. That maintenance cycle is what decides whether a cedar fence lasts closer to ten years or closer to twenty. Pressure-treated pine is a smart budget choice when you are comfortable with a more utilitarian look and the same maintenance schedule. Vinyl requires almost no maintenance and resists fading, but it is stiffer than wood and does not rack as smoothly on sloped ground. Chain link is the toughest per dollar and comes in galvanized (silver) or black powder-coated finishes, with gauge and mesh size determining how long it will hold up. Aluminum and ornamental iron work well for pools and front yards where you want to see through, and they can be racked to follow grade without the twisting you get with vinyl.

Every fence is quoted by the linear foot on site, because slope, access, tear-out and gate count change the number. We can walk you through the trade-offs and help you pick the material that fits your budget and your maintenance appetite. See our material pages for Wood & Privacy Fence Installation, Vinyl & PVC Fence Installation, Chain Link Fence Installation, and Aluminum & Ornamental Iron Fencing.

Permits, HOA Rules, Property Lines & Pool Barriers

Fence height, setback and material rules are set by the city or county and vary across Greater Reno. In most jurisdictions, a permit is required before installation begins, and many cities in the area have specific height limits for front, side and rear yards. If you live in a master-planned community or under HOA rules, deed restrictions commonly govern fence height, material and color, and architectural approval is usually required before work starts. It is worth checking with your HOA and the local building department before you start planning. We work from the property line you identify, and we recommend confirming the fence line with an existing survey or plat beforehand. Determining a boundary is the work of a licensed land surveyor, and if there is any question about where your line lies, a surveyor should mark it. We also recommend getting any neighbor or association consent in writing before we begin.

Pool fencing is installed to meet the pool barrier codes that apply at your address, with self-closing self-latching hardware on every gate. Final determination of compliance rests with the local building official. No barrier replaces supervision. Before we dig post holes, we request Nevada 811 utility locates to mark participating utility lines. Locates do not mark private lines such as irrigation or landscape lighting, so please tell us if you have those on or near the fence line. Requirements vary by jurisdiction and change over time. Always verify current requirements with the Reno building department and your HOA before starting your project. If you have questions, call (775) 993-4968 or contact us for guidance.
