Top-Rated Fence Contractor in Santa Clara CA - Privacy Fences Built Right

Santa Clara's housing stock skews older, with most single-family homes built between 1950 and 1980. Many of these homes have original concrete fence footings that have been sitting in clay-heavy soil for decades. The city's location between the San Andreas Fault to the west and the Hayward Fault to the east means the ground here experiences minor seismic activity regularly, and older shallow footings do not hold up as well over time as deeper, properly sized concrete anchors. A contractor who does not understand this sets your fence up for problems within a few years.

The city also has an unusually high share of rental properties, with roughly 60% of housing units renter-occupied. That means a meaningful part of our work here involves property managers rather than individual homeowners, and the requirements are different. Rental properties need fencing that holds up to tenants' normal use, meets city code for pool barriers and property boundaries, and does not require ongoing maintenance calls. We install for both owner-occupants and landlords, and we understand what each situation calls for.

Santa Clara is a city of about 130,000 residents at the core of Silicon Valley, bordered by Sunnyvale to the west, San Jose to the south, and Cupertino to the southwest. It is home to the headquarters of Intel and NVIDIA, and to Levi's Stadium, the 49ers venue that opened in 2014 and has become one of the South Bay's most recognizable landmarks. The city is unusual in that roughly 60% of its housing units are renter-occupied, which is well above the national average. That high renter share reflects the density of apartment buildings and multi-family properties alongside the older single-family neighborhoods.

The residential character of Santa Clara varies considerably by neighborhood. The area around Santa Clara University, founded in 1851 and one of the oldest universities in California, features compact streets with older bungalows and ranch homes that date to the 1940s through 1960s. The Central Park neighborhood has similar housing, while Rivermark in the north is a planned community developed in the early 2000s with townhomes, condos, and smaller single-family homes on tight lots under HOA governance. Our crew works across all of these neighborhoods, and we also serve neighboring Mountain View for homeowners whose properties sit close to the city line.
