Fences and gates in Orange County, built straight and priced by the foot
A fence is a shared wall with the neighbor and a daily-use gate, and both show every shortcut. We match you with fence contractors who set posts in concrete, build to the HOA height, and quote per foot so you can compare.

Fences & Gates in Orange County: questions we get every week
Do I need a permit for a fence in Orange County?
Fences up to six feet (seven in some cities) are usually permit-free; taller fences, retaining walls and anything in the front setback need one, and HOAs have their own rules.
Does my neighbor have to split the cost?
California’s good-neighbor fence law presumes adjoining owners share the cost of a boundary fence equally, with 30 days’ written notice. Most neighbors agree once they see the quote.
Wood or vinyl?
Vinyl costs a little more and never needs paint or replacement boards; wood looks better to many people and can be stained. Both last 15 to 25 years in Orange County if the posts are set right.
How long does it take?
A day or two for a typical side-yard fence; posts set one day, panels the next.
