THE SAN DIEGO FENCE & GATE GUIDE

Know your fence before
you call anyone

Why San Diego fences fail

Inland, the sun dries redwood and cedar until it splits. On the coast, salt air eats the hinges and latches first. Everywhere, sprinklers soak the base of the posts and subterranean termites finish the job below grade. The pickets are usually fine. The fence leans because the posts are gone.

Do I need a permit?

In the City of San Diego a standard fence under seven feet needs no building permit, and a front property-line fence is limited to three feet (Information Bulletin 222). A like-for-like repair changes nothing. Other cities in the county have their own heights, and we check before building anything new.

Repair or replace?

Reset posts and matching pickets fix most fences for a fraction of the cost of a new one, and that is the work we do. Whole-fence replacement, vinyl and iron are not our lane. If that is what the fence needs, we say so on the call, and we still fix the gate and the sections that can be saved.

Pool gates and dog gaps

A pool gate should close and latch on its own, with the latch release at least 60 inches up. That is the standard in California’s Swimming Pool Safety Act, and it is the first thing we check on a pool fence. The gap the dog found at the bottom is a rail and a picket, fixed in the same visit.

SAN DIEGO, STREET BY STREET

Where the house sits decides
what fails first

Kaminskiy has repaired San Diego fences since 2005. The county does not treat every fence the same way.
THE COAST

La Jolla, Solana Beach, Encinitas, Carlsbad

Salt air gets the hardware before it gets the wood. Hinges seize, latches stop catching, and the screws holding the rails let go. Morning fog keeps the base of each post damp, so the rot starts at the ground line where nobody looks. The fix is usually a new post, new rails and coated hardware, with the sound pickets kept.

INLAND

Poway, Rancho Bernardo, Scripps Ranch, Rancho Peñasquitos, San Marcos

The sun does the damage. Redwood and cedar dry out, split along the grain and turn gray, and a dog-ear picket that has baked for ten summers breaks when you lean on it. Then a Santa Ana wind takes a whole section. Most of these homes are in HOA communities, so we match the profile, the spacing and the stain, and new boards weather to match within a season.

OLDER NEIGHBORHOODS

North Park, South Park, Serra Mesa, Clairemont

A lot of these fences went up in the 1980s and 1990s. The posts were set in soil or thin concrete, and thirty years of sprinklers and subterranean termites have hollowed them at grade. The pickets often look fine. The fence leans because the posts are gone. Resetting the failed posts brings the whole line back straight without replacing the fence.

WHAT A VISIT LOOKS LIKE

One call, one visit,
priced before we come

01Call, or text a photo

We price the repair on the call, in writing, before anything is scheduled.

02One visit, truck stocked

Posts, rails, pickets, hardware and concrete come along, so a post reset, a picket swap or a gate rehang is finished the same day we arrive.

03Past saving? We build it

A gate that is done gets a new single wood gate built on site, up to four feet wide. A fallen section is rebuilt on the existing posts.

04Clean up, warranty in writing

The work area is cleaned before we leave, and every repair carries our one-year workmanship warranty.

Not our lane, and we say so on the call: whole-fence replacement, vinyl fencing, iron work and electric gate openers. If that is what the fence needs, we tell you, and we still fix the gate and the sections that can be saved.
RULES WORTH KNOWING

Permits, pool gates and HOAs,
in plain words

Permits

In the City of San Diego, a standard wood, chain link or masonry fence under seven feet needs no building permit, and a fence along the front property line is limited to three feet (Information Bulletin 222). A like-for-like repair changes nothing. Other cities in the county have their own heights; we check before building anything new.

Pool gates

California’s Swimming Pool Safety Act expects a pool barrier gate to close and latch on its own, with the latch release at least 60 inches above the ground. If your pool gate drags open or the latch no longer catches, that is the first thing we fix.

HOAs

Most San Diego HOAs do not need to approve a repair that matches the existing fence. A new gate, a new section or a different stain color sometimes needs a form. We can give you the materials and finish in writing for it.

GOOD QUESTIONS

San Diego fence and gate questions,

Can't find your answer? Call 858-330-5590 and ask us anything.

Call 858-330-5590

We answer in under three rings, price most fence and gate repairs on the call, and usually schedule within days. The technician brings posts, rails, pickets, hardware and concrete, so a post reset, a picket swap or a gate rehang is finished in one visit.

Yes. Most fence and gate repairs are exactly handyman work: posts, rails, pickets, hinges and latches. Kaminskiy is licensed, bonded and insured, so a rebuilt section or a new gate is not a problem either.

It depends on three things: how many posts have failed, how much wood needs replacing, and how easy the fence is to reach. Tell us what the fence is doing, or text a photo, and we give you the price on the call, in writing, before anything is scheduled. No surprises at the house.

No. We repair wood fences and gates: posts, pickets, rails, sections, gates and staining. Whole-fence replacement, vinyl fencing, iron work and electric gate openers are not our lane. If your fence needs one of those, we tell you on the call and still fix what can be saved.

Yes. We match the picket profile, the spacing and the stain. New pressure-treated boards weather to match the rest of the fence within a season, or we stain them to match on the day.

A repair that matches the existing fence rarely needs anything. In the City of San Diego a fence under seven feet needs no permit. A new gate, a new section or a different color sometimes needs an HOA form, and we can put the materials and finish in writing for it.
