Learn MoreReach out by phone or fill out the form on this page. Tell us where your property is, roughly how much fence you need, and what you are hoping to accomplish - privacy, pet containment, security, or a combination. We respond within 1 business day to schedule a free on-site visit.
We come to your property, walk the fence line with you, take measurements, and talk through material and style options. We check permit requirements for your specific address. You receive a written, itemized quote - no surprises, no pressure, no obligation.
Once you approve the quote and any permits are in order, we schedule your installation. Our crew handles everything - post setting, rails, boards, gates, and cleanup. Before we leave, we walk the finished fence with you to make sure every section is exactly what you agreed to.
Our contractor license is issued by the California Contractors State License Board. We carry general liability insurance on every job - residential or commercial. You can verify our license status on the CSLB website in under two minutes.
We are a locally owned business, not a franchise. We have worked on Petaluma properties since 2016 and know the neighborhood permit rules, soil conditions, and HOA requirements that out-of-area contractors often miss.
Every estimate starts with an in-person walkthrough of your property. You receive a written, itemized quote that covers materials, labor, permit fees, and cleanup - so the price you agree to is the price you pay.
If something is not right after we finish - a gate that does not latch, a post that was not set correctly - we come back and fix it. Our reputation in Sonoma County depends on getting jobs done right the first time.

"They finished our wood privacy fence in two days, which is exactly what they told us upfront. The posts are solid and the gate latches perfectly. Our dog has not found a single gap to push through."
- Marcus T., Petaluma - Wood fence installation
"We had a chain link fence around our backyard that was leaning badly after years of wet winters. They came out for the estimate within a couple of days and had the new fence done before the next rain."
- Sandra K., Rohnert Park - Chain link fence installation
"We wanted aluminum fencing around our pool and were worried about the HOA approval process. They walked us through the style options that were likely to be approved and handled the permit themselves."
- James and Robin P., Novato - Aluminum fence installation

Most rear and side yard fences under six feet do not need a permit in Petaluma - but front yard fences often do. Always confirm with the City of Petaluma Building Division before starting, because an unpermitted fence can create problems when you sell.
Petaluma gets wet winters and dry summers - a combination that stresses untreated wood hard. Vinyl holds up without any sealing or painting. Wood looks warmer and costs less upfront but needs regular maintenance to survive the wet-dry cycle.
Marine fog from the Petaluma Gap settles overnight and keeps wood damp even between rain events. Posts set in bare soil rot much faster here than in drier cities. Concrete footings and rot-resistant wood species are not optional in this climate.
Newer Petaluma subdivisions often have HOA fence rules that go beyond city code - covering height, color, and materials. HOA approval is separate from a building permit and must come first. The American Fence Association has resources to help you understand what questions to ask before hiring.
Dogs that bolt, dig, or jump need a fence built for containment - not just privacy. Tight-panel fencing with minimal bottom gaps, adequate height for your breed, and concrete-set posts matter more than material choice when the goal is keeping your dog in.
Petaluma sits in a coastal gap that funnels afternoon winds from the west. A tall privacy fence in an exposed location puts real stress on posts. Deeper post footings and closer post spacing are the right answer - not a lower fence.
Advanced Petaluma Fence is a licensed and insured Fence Contractor company based in Petaluma, CA, serving 12 cities across Sonoma and Marin counties since 2016. Our contractor license is issued by the California Contractors State License Board, which requires passing a trade exam, maintaining insurance, and meeting ongoing compliance requirements. Since we opened, we have completed hundreds of residential and commercial fence projects across 16 service categories - from basic chain link to custom ornamental iron.

If fewer than one-third of your boards are damaged and your posts are solid, targeted repair is usually the more cost-effective choice. Once posts start leaning or the concrete base has failed, full replacement almost always costs less over the next decade than repeated repairs.
Post depth and concrete volume matter more than any other factor. In Petaluma's clay soil, posts set too shallow will shift within a few wet seasons. A good contractor sets posts at least one-third of their total length into the ground and uses the right concrete mix for the soil type.
The California Contractors State License Board maintains a public database where you can search any contractor by name or license number. The search takes under two minutes and shows whether the license is current. Visit cslb.ca.gov to verify any contractor before hiring.

Petaluma is a city of about 62,000 people in Sonoma County, built up on both sides of the Petaluma River. The west side is full of Victorian and Craftsman homes that date back to the 1880s through 1930s - many of them on older lots where property lines are not always obvious and original fence placements were not always done to a survey. The east side has the newer subdivisions built from the 1980s onward, where HOA rules are more common and stucco-clad homes sit on smaller lots.
The Petaluma Downtown Historic District draws visitors to the cast-iron-fronted buildings along Kentucky Street, but residential Petaluma is what we know best - from the Victorian neighborhoods near B Street and Liberty Street to the ranch-style homes built out through the 1950s and 60s to the newer streets near Lucchesi Park and East Washington. We have worked on properties throughout all of these neighborhoods and understand what each one typically involves.
Petaluma gets about 25-30 inches of rain each year, almost all of it between November and March, followed by a long dry summer that regularly pushes into the 80s and 90s. That wet-dry cycle is harder on fences than most homeowners expect - especially on untreated wood and posts that are not set deep enough in concrete. Many of the fence jobs we do here are replacements for fences that did not survive a few years of Petaluma winters. If you want to learn more about what the National Weather Service says about seasonal conditions in the North Bay, that context helps explain why material and installation quality matter so much here. Call (707) 222-6844 if you want to talk through the right option for your property.
