Gilroy sits where suburban neighborhoods give way to open agricultural land, and that split defines the fence work we do here. Your lot might be a quarter-acre in a tract with a shared setback, or 5 acres with a property line running through pasture and oak.
San Jose Fence Company has been installing and repairing fences in Gilroy and the surrounding south valley since 2016. We know the terrain, the soil conditions that loosen posts over time, and the local code that governs height and setback. Whether you need a privacy run along Monterey Road or a ranch perimeter that holds up to wind and seasonal ground shift, our crews do the work themselves, and we price honestly.
Fence Work in Gilroy (95020)
Gilroy's fence jobs split between two very different worlds. In the subdivisions near downtown and along the east side, homeowners call for privacy fences, vinyl upgrades, and gate repairs on standard 50-by-100 lots. Out toward the open country, property managers and ranchers need durable perimeter fencing that handles slope, drainage swings between wet winters and dry summers, and exposure to wind across unshaded land.
The soil here shrinks and swells with the seasonal moisture cycle, which works fence posts loose over years if they are not set right the first time. We set posts in concrete below the frost line, with spacing and racking chosen for your lot's slope and drainage. On wood, we use pressure-treated pine or cedar depending on your budget and the fence line's exposure to sun and wind. Vinyl and chain link are popular for their durability in this climate, and ornamental iron and aluminum work well where setback rules or HOA standards call for it.
We are fully insured, with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. We hold AFA Member Installer standing through the American Fence Association, and we have served Gilroy and the south valley for over eight years.

How a Fence Job Works in Gilroy
Step 1: Free on-site visit and honest assessment. Call us at (669) 274-3266 and describe what you need. We come out, walk the fence line with you, check for utilities with a California 811 locate (required by law before we dig), and talk through your options. We look at slope, soil, drainage, setback rules, and what your HOA or the Gilroy building department requires. No pressure, no surprise change orders.
Step 2: Install or repair. If you need a new fence, we mark the line, set posts in concrete on the spacing and racking your lot demands, and install rails and boards or panels. If you are repairing, we replace rotted posts, reset leaning sections, and reinforce gates with anti-sag bracing. We work around utilities, respect property lines, and coordinate with your HOA if the community has architectural review.
Step 3: Clean and walk through. We haul debris, sweep the fence line, and show you the finished work. You get a clear invoice and warranty terms on the labor.
Fence costs in Gilroy depend on material, length, and what the lot demands. A wood privacy fence runs from $42 per linear foot, vinyl from $54, chain link from $24, and ornamental metal from $58. Repairs start at $650 for structural work and $625 for post replacement. A new gate is $675 and up. Automatic driveway gates, which are popular on larger properties here, start at $3,800. Storm damage assessment is free. We give you a detailed quote before we start, with no hidden fees. Call (669) 274-3266 for a free estimate on your property.
