Serving Pomona, CA and surrounding areas. (626) 659-1648
Your yard deserves a fence that handles Pomona's heat, UV exposure, and wind seasons - not one that needs attention every few years. We build wood fences that are properly set, properly permitted, and made to last.
Wood fence installation in Pomona, CA involves marking your property line, digging post holes, setting posts in concrete, and attaching rails and boards by hand - most standard backyard jobs finish in one to two days.
A lot of Pomona homeowners come to us after spending years patching a fence that was never built correctly to begin with - posts set too shallow, wood never sealed, or boards that started rotting from the bottom because sprinklers kept the base wet. Getting the installation right the first time is what separates a fence that lasts 15 years from one that needs replacing in five.
If your current fence is already showing wear, it is worth reading about our fence staining and sealing service - sometimes the right move is protecting what you have rather than replacing it right away.
If your fence tilted after a strong Santa Ana wind season, the posts have likely rotted at the base or were never set deep enough. A slight lean that gets worse each year will eventually fall. This is common in Pomona homes where the original fence is 15 or more years old.
When boards look silvery-gray, feel rough, or show visible cracks along the grain, the wood has dried out and lost its protective finish. In Pomona's inland heat, this can happen within three to five years on an unsealed fence. At this stage, patching individual boards rarely lasts - a full replacement usually makes more sense.
Press your thumb against the bottom few inches of your fence boards. If the wood feels soft or spongy, rot has set in. This is one of the most common failure points in Pomona yards where sprinkler systems keep the soil near the fence line consistently moist.
Gaps between boards wide enough to see through clearly, or a fence too short for your yard, means it is no longer doing its job. In denser Pomona neighborhoods where yards sit close together, privacy is a genuine daily concern - not just an aesthetic preference.
We install wood fences in cedar, redwood, and pressure-treated pine across all fence heights and yard configurations. Cedar and redwood are our most popular choices for Pomona homeowners because they naturally resist rot and insects and handle the Inland Valley's UV exposure and heat far better than untreated alternatives. For homeowners who want the look of wood but less ongoing maintenance, we can also walk you through our vinyl fence installation option, which never needs painting or sealing.
Every project includes gates built with proper diagonal bracing to prevent sagging, post holes set to the depth this area's wind and soil conditions require, and a final walkthrough before we leave your property. If you are interested in protecting your new fence long-term, ask us about pairing it with our fence staining and sealing service at installation - it significantly extends the lifespan of wood fencing in this climate.
Ideal for homeowners who want full privacy and a natural look that handles Pomona's sun and dry heat well.
The premium wood choice for longevity and appearance - suits homeowners investing in a fence they want to keep for 20 years.
A practical option for budget-conscious projects, especially when combined with a UV-resistant sealant at installation.
Pomona sits in the Inland Valley, where summer temperatures regularly climb above 95 degrees and UV exposure is significantly stronger than along the coast. That combination dries out unprotected wood fast - boards can crack and warp within a year or two on an unsealed fence. Then there are the Santa Ana winds. Every fall and winter, gusts that can exceed 50 mph push through the area, and fences with posts set too shallow or concrete that was not given enough time to cure are the ones that end up leaning or down. Pomona also has expansive clay soils in many neighborhoods that swell and shrink with seasonal moisture - another reason post depth and concrete footings matter more here than in other parts of Southern California.
We work across the city and surrounding communities. Whether you are in one of Pomona's mid-century neighborhoods near downtown or out toward Ontario or Chino, we know the permit office, the soil, and what this climate asks of a wood fence.
When you reach out, we ask a few basics - your address, how many feet of fence you need, the height you are thinking, and whether you have gates. We respond within 1 business day and schedule a free on-site estimate at a time that works for you.
We walk your fence line, check slope and soil conditions, and look at what is already there. You get a written, itemized estimate covering materials, labor, permit fees, and gate hardware - no surprises when the invoice arrives.
We handle the permit application with the City of Pomona and provide whatever drawings your HOA needs. This step typically takes one to two weeks. We schedule your install once approvals are confirmed.
The crew removes the old fence, digs post holes, sets posts in concrete, and attaches rails and boards. Before leaving, we walk the fence line with you. If anything looks off, we address it before packing up.
We respond within 1 business day. There is no obligation - just a straightforward conversation about your project. After you submit, someone from our office calls to schedule a free on-site estimate at your property.
(626) 659-1648GC Pomona Fence Builder is a California state-licensed fence contractor. We have been working in Pomona and the surrounding Inland Valley since 2020, which means we know the local soil conditions, permit office, and HOA approval processes firsthand.
We set posts at the depth and concrete volume this area demands - not a national minimum. Pomona's Santa Ana winds and expansive clay soils require a different approach than coastal California, and we build for what this climate actually does to fences.
Unpermitted fence work can mean demolition orders when you sell or if a neighbor complains. We pull every required permit with the City of Pomona before work begins, so your fence is on record as built correctly from day one.
The number you agree to is the number you pay. Our written estimates cover materials, labor, permit fees, and gate hardware in full. We do not add charges after the work starts.
The American Fence Association sets industry standards for post depth, concrete requirements, and gate construction - and those are the benchmarks we build to on every job, not the minimum required to pass an inspection.
If you want the look of a clean, solid fence without ever painting or sealing it, vinyl is worth comparing to wood before you decide.
