A leaning, rotting fence is past the point of patching. We pull the old fence out completely and build a new one with posts set deep through Pomona caliche soil - so it does not start leaning again two years from now.
Fence replacement in Pomona means removing the old fence completely - posts, rails, and all - and installing a brand-new one from the ground up, and most residential jobs on a standard lot are finished in one to two days once materials are on-site.
There is a moment when patching stops making financial sense. If you are paying to replace boards every year, or if the posts have started to lean and will not stay upright, or if the fence simply no longer gives you the privacy and security you need - that is the moment. Pomona has a large share of housing built between the 1950s and 1980s, and many of those original wood fences were set without concrete or to standards that no longer reflect best practices. A fence that looks tired on the surface may have posts that are rotting at the base even when the boards above ground still appear okay. The only way to know for sure is to check the posts directly - which we do as part of every estimate visit.
If you are on the fence about whether to repair or replace, our fence repair team can give you a straight answer during the estimate - and if repair is the smarter move for your situation, we will tell you that rather than push you toward a full replacement.
If your fence has developed a visible lean - particularly after one of Pomona's fall or winter Santa Ana wind events - the posts have likely lost their grip in the ground. A small lean can sometimes be corrected, but if multiple sections are leaning or it has gotten worse over time, the posts are probably rotted or were never properly set to begin with. At that point, repair is usually a short-term fix.
Walk along your fence and look at the bottom several inches of each post where it meets the ground. In Pomona's older neighborhoods, wood posts were often set directly in soil without concrete, and that contact point is where rot starts. If the wood feels soft, looks dark and fibrous, or crumbles when pressed, that post is failing - and a failing post means the panels it supports are on borrowed time.
A board here and there can be replaced affordably. But if a third or more of the boards are warped, split, or missing, the cost of individual repairs starts to approach the cost of full replacement - and you still end up with a patchwork fence that looks its age. A new fence will look better, last longer, and cost less in ongoing repairs.
If you can see clearly through gaps in your fence, or if the gate no longer latches properly, the fence is not doing its job. This matters especially if you have children or pets in the yard. A fence that has shrunk, warped, or settled to the point of having visible gaps throughout is past the point of practical repair.
We replace fences in wood, vinyl, and aluminum for residential properties across Pomona and the surrounding cities. Every replacement starts the same way: we remove the old fence and posts completely, haul everything away, and dig new post holes to the depth that Pomona's caliche-heavy soil requires. Posts go in concrete - not just tamped dirt - and we let the concrete cure before attaching rails and boards. A fence set in concrete in Pomona's dense soil stays put through Santa Ana wind events; a fence dropped in a shallow hole does not. Gates are hung and adjusted on the same project, and we do not call the job done until every gate opens, closes, and latches properly.
Wood fences remain the most popular choice in Pomona for cost, appearance, and the ability to stain or paint them to match HOA requirements. If you choose a wood fence, scheduling fence staining and sealing a few weeks after installation is the step that extends the life of the new wood in Pomona's sun and wind. Vinyl and aluminum are good options for homeowners who want lower ongoing maintenance - they do not need staining and hold up well to UV exposure without special treatment. For homeowners who want full control over the design, our wood fence installation team can build to custom heights, styles, and spacing to match your property and any HOA specifications.
Cedar, redwood, or pressure-treated pine - the most versatile option for homeowners who want to paint, stain, or match a specific style or HOA color requirement.
Low maintenance and long-lasting - vinyl does not rot, splinter, or need painting, making it a good fit for homeowners who want the look of wood without the upkeep.
Strong, corrosion-resistant, and available in styles that satisfy most HOA design reviews - a good choice for properties where appearance and durability both matter.
Every fence replacement includes gate installation - we hang gates properly so they open smoothly, latch securely, and do not sag or bind after the first season.
Pomona sits at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, and the soil in many neighborhoods is dense, compacted, and layered with caliche - a rock-hard mineral deposit that forms just below the surface in Southern California's dry climate. Digging post holes through caliche requires power equipment and takes longer than digging in softer soil, which is why some contractors charge more for post work in this area. If a quote seems unusually low, it is worth asking specifically how the contractor handles hard soil - a contractor who skips depth to save time will leave you with a leaning fence within a few years. Homeowners in Chino Hills, CA face the same caliche conditions, and we use the same post-setting standards across every job in the region.
Pomona also has a significant share of homes built between the 1950s and 1980s, and many existing fence lines in those neighborhoods have posts that were set in soil without concrete or to standards that no longer hold up. Older fences in these neighborhoods sometimes show above-ground boards that look reasonable while the posts below are already failing. We check post bases during every estimate visit rather than just eyeballing the boards from the street. Santa Ana winds put serious stress on any fence that is not properly anchored - solid wood privacy fences catch wind like a sail - and a properly set post is the one thing that determines whether your fence is still standing after a bad fall wind season. Homeowners in Diamond Bar, CA deal with the same seasonal wind exposure, and we apply the same anchoring standards there.
Call or request online and we typically respond within one business day to schedule a visit. We walk your property, measure the fence line, look at the existing fence and posts - including the post bases - and talk through material options. You get a written quote that breaks down material, labor, and any extras like gates.
If your fence will be over six feet tall, or if you live in an HOA community, this step happens before any work begins. We handle the permit application with the City of Pomona on your behalf. HOA approval is your responsibility to initiate, but we provide the specs you need to submit. This step typically adds one to two weeks to the timeline.
The crew tears out the old fence - boards, rails, and posts. Pulling old posts through Pomona's caliche-heavy soil takes time, especially if they were set in concrete. We haul away all old materials as part of the job so your yard is not left with a pile of debris. Plan to keep pets inside while the fence line is open.
New posts go in at proper depth and are set in concrete. Once the concrete has cured, the crew builds the fence and hangs the gates. Before we leave, we walk the fence with you - checking that gates latch, the fence is level, and you are satisfied. If you chose wood, we tell you exactly when it will be ready to stain.

(626) 659-1648Caliche soil is common across the Pomona Valley, and it requires power equipment and deeper holes than soft sandy soil. We account for hard soil in the quote, in the timeline, and in the way every post is set. A fence that leans two years from now almost always has posts that were not set properly the first time - and we do not take that shortcut.
The City of Pomona requires a building permit for fences over six feet tall. We handle the application process with the city on your behalf as part of the project. You can verify contractor licensing and permit status directly through the California Contractors State License Board at{' '}cslb.ca.gov - the process takes about 30 seconds and is the most important due diligence step before hiring any fence contractor.
Pomona has a mix of HOA-governed neighborhoods, particularly in developments near the 60 and 71 freeway corridors. Installing a fence that violates HOA rules can mean being forced to remove it at your own cost. We help you confirm what is allowed before a single post goes in the ground - so your investment is protected from day one.
A new fence with an old gate rarely lines up correctly, and aging gate hardware tends to fail not long after the fence is replaced anyway. We replace gates as part of the project so everything is installed to the same standard. Gates are adjusted and tested before we call the job complete - every gate we install opens smoothly and latches securely.
A fence replacement is one of the larger home improvement jobs a Pomona homeowner will do, and the quality of the installation determines how long it lasts. We focus on the things that are not visible when the job is done - post depth, concrete cure time, gate alignment - because those are the things that matter five and ten years from now.
