What makes us different
We mill our own wood, guaranteeing that only the finest materials go into your project.
That one fact changes the parts of a fence you notice a year later. Consistent board thickness is the difference between a fence line that reads straight and one that does not, and it is the reason we can build a custom gate to a drawing instead of to whatever widths were in stock.
What we build
Twenty four services across fencing, gates and finishing. Every one of them a real page, not a city name swapped into the same paragraph.
Board-on-board redwood that stays private after its first summer, built to the height your city actually allows.
Wood fencing
Openers sized to the gate's weight, with the safety gear that should come with them.
AutomationThe cheapest thing you can do to make a redwood fence last, and it is half price when we build the fence.
FinishingSan Jose, Morgan Hill, Gilroy and the county all allow something different. We wrote down what each one actually says.
Read the rulesWhy us
Most fence companies buy whatever the lumberyard has that week. We mill our own, so the boards that arrive at your property are the boards we chose.
A written five-year warranty on the work itself, not a verbal promise and not a warranty that only covers the material.
We come out, measure, and give you a real number. No charge and no obligation, and most jobs can start within three days.
Our crew works in both languages, so the person measuring your yard and the person building it can talk to you directly.
Family run
The JS Fencing is family owned and family run. Wilson and Rene are on the jobs, not in an office, and the person who measures your yard is the person who builds it. Our crew works in English and Spanish.

Every photo here is one of ours. If we do not have an honest photo of something, we do not show you a stock one.
How it goes
We come out, walk the line with you, measure, and talk through height, style and where the gates want to go. You get a real number, not a range.
If your city needs a permit for the height you want, we pull it. We mark the line, confirm the property boundary, and agree the post spacing before anything goes in the ground.
Posts set first and given time. Then rails, then boards off our own mill. Most residential runs are done in a few days to a week.
We walk the finished line together, adjust gate swing and latch height, clean up, and hand over the five-year workmanship warranty in writing.
Local knowledge
Four jurisdictions, four different answers, drawn to the same scale. Every figure traces to the city that published it.
On a corner lot the street-facing side counts as a front yard, so the 3 ft limit follows it round.
A solid 7 ft board fence does not comply. 6 ft solid with a 1 ft lattice top does.
Above 3 ft it has to sit 26 ft back. On a shallow front yard that rules out a tall fence near the street.
Taller than any of the cities allow. An -h, -sr or -d combining district overrides it.
