What Our Neighbors Say

Consistent 5-star reputation across Modesto and surrounding communities.

Highly recommended. We had a shared fence replaced. The crew was professional, on time and completed the work when they said they would.

Debbie Warner
Modesto, CA

I was nervous at first, but the team from California Crews Painting and Fencing was so professional and on time. They gave me a clear quote that was far lower than other estimates and stuck to it. The crew cleaned up the work area each day and left my yard looking better than before. I also appreciate the warranty they offered on the fence installation, which gives me peace of mind. I would definitely recommend them as a reliable fence company.

The crew showed up to my house and after a quick greeting got right to work. They did a fantastic job and fixed about 50 feet of fence for me. Highly recommended from my stand point.

Marc was very kind to work around an emergency I had, that affected our appointment. He notified me when he would arrive, and was punctual. He checked the problem and fixed it! Very professional and courteous. We are definitely going to call on California Crews again!

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for a new fence in Modesto or Manteca?

For most residential fencing projects at 7 ft and under, no permit or inspection is required in the cities we serve across Stanislaus County. California Crews handles all required prep and installation, and will let you know upfront if your specific project has any local requirements.

What type of wood do you use for fences?

We use premium redwood and cedar sourced through Denair Lumber — the best quality available for Central Valley conditions. Both species naturally resist moisture, warping, and insect damage, making them ideal for the region's high heat, strong winds, and dry summers.

How long does a typical fencing or painting project take?

Most residential projects go from consultation to completion in 3 to 5 days. During our peak season from April through November, bookings typically have a one-week lead time. We work Monday through Saturday to keep projects moving.

What does your 5-year workmanship warranty cover?

Our 5-year warranty covers all labor and workmanship on fencing and painting projects. If something fails due to how the work was done — not normal wear or weather — we come back and fix it. We stand behind every job.

Do you require a deposit?

No. Payment is due upon project completion after you have walked through the finished job with our crew and are satisfied with the work. We believe you should only pay for work that meets your expectations.

What areas do you serve?

We serve the Central Valley including Modesto, Manteca, Turlock, Ripon, Riverbank, Oakdale, Ceres, Salida, Waterford, and Escalon. If you're in the surrounding area and aren't sure we cover your location, call us and we'll let you know.
