Modesto's Fence Contractor & Fence Builder
Wood Fencing Built for Modesto's Climate
Modesto's high winds, triple-digit summers, and dry conditions are hard on fences. We build with premium redwood and cedar — naturally rot-resistant woods that hold up in our climate far better than pressure-treated pine or vinyl alternatives.
We've been installing fences in Modesto neighborhoods like Sylvan, Briggsmore, Thousand Oaks, and North Modesto since 2001. Every job includes old fence removal, custom gate installation, and a thorough cleanup. Payment due only after you approve the finished work.
“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.”

Local Knowledge
Your Modesto Fence Contractor & Fence Builder Since 2001
We have been installing and repairing fences across Modesto neighborhoods for over 25 years. Whether you are in a newer development near Sylvan Road, an established neighborhood in Briggsmore, a rural parcel near Oakdale Road, or anywhere in between, we know the soil conditions, local fence styles, and HOA considerations that affect each part of the city.
Modesto soil conditions vary more than most homeowners realize. Some areas have hard clay soil that requires a specific post-setting depth and approach, while others have sandy or loam soil that drains more freely. We account for local conditions on every installation — setting posts to proper depth and securing them in concrete so your fence stays plumb for years, even through wind storms and seasonal ground movement that is common in our area.
Gate repairs are the most common service call we receive in Modesto. Gates take more stress than any other part of a fence, and cheaper hardware fails faster in our climate. We stock common gate hardware and can often complete gate repairs within the same week you call. For full fence replacements or new fence installations, we typically book about a week out during peak season from April through November.
California Crews holds an active contractor license — #909718 — and carries $2 million in insurance along with a $25,000 bond. Our BuildZoom score of 97 places us in the top 18% of licensed contractors in the state of California. When you hire us, you are working with a contractor who has the credentials, the experience, and the track record to back up every job we take on.
We operate two full 3-man crews, which means we can move efficiently on any residential fence project in Modesto. Most projects go from our initial site visit to completed installation in 3 to 5 days. We work Monday through Saturday during peak season and keep you updated throughout the project so there are no surprises on timing or scope.
Our 5-year workmanship warranty covers all labor and craftsmanship on every fence we install. If something fails due to how the work was done — not normal weathering or accidental damage — we come back and make it right at no charge. That warranty has been part of how we do business since the beginning, because we stand behind every post, rail, and gate we put in the ground.
