Madera's grid of older neighborhoods and newer subdivisions sit on level valley ground, where the real challenge isn't slope but the hardpan and clay lenses that run through the soil. When a fence post starts to lean or a gate drags on the ground, it's usually not a design problem, it's a footing problem, and that's exactly what we know how to fix.
Fresno Fence Company has served Madera and the surrounding Fresno area since 2013. We're here because homeowners in 93638 know that a fence is built one post at a time, and every post matters. Whether you need a new privacy fence, a repair that will actually hold, or a gate that works the way it should, we show up with the right crew and the right answer for your lot.
Fencing in Madera, 93638
Madera's housing stock runs the full spectrum, from solid mid-century homes on established lots to newer master-planned communities with strict HOA rules on fence height, material, and color. The valley floor here means your fence footing isn't fighting slope or bedrock, but it is fighting the clay and hardpan that shift with the dry summers and wet winters. A post tamped into loose soil will work loose over years. A post set in concrete, at the right depth and with the right mix, will hold. That's the difference between a repair every few years and a fence that lasts.
We work with wood and vinyl privacy fence, chain link, aluminum and ornamental iron, gates, and automatic driveway gates. We also handle fence repair, post replacement, storm damage, and pool fencing. Our team is fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation. We're AFA Member Installers through the American Fence Association, and we've been doing this work in Madera since 2013.

How a Fence Job Works in Madera
We start with a free on-site assessment. We walk your property, talk through what you need, check for utility lines (California law requires a 811 locate before we dig), and look at the soil, drainage, and any HOA or city setback rules that apply to your lot. If you have a survey, we work from that. If you don't, we install on the line you show us. We give you an honest estimate and explain what we're doing and why.
The work itself depends on what you're building or fixing. For a new fence, we set posts in concrete at the depth and spacing your soil and fence type demand. For vinyl or wood privacy fence, we run stringers and rails, then attach pickets or boards side-by-side or board-on-board. For chain link, we tension the mesh properly and brace it against sag. For a gate, we hang it plumb and square, with self-closing self-latching hardware if you want it. For an automatic driveway gate, we set the posts deep, run the operator, and test it until it works smoothly. If we're repairing, we diagnose whether the post is salvageable or needs replacement, whether the rails are sound or compromised, and whether the fix will hold or replacement makes more sense. We tell you straight.
When we're done, we haul away the debris and walk through the job with you. Your property is clean and your fence is ready to work.
Pricing for fence work in Madera depends on the material, the soil condition, and what's already there. A wood privacy fence runs from $26 per linear foot. Vinyl starts at $36 per linear foot. Chain link is the budget option at $15 per linear foot. Aluminum and ornamental iron start at $40 per linear foot. A gate installation runs $450 and up. An automatic driveway gate starts at $2,700. A fence repair starts at $425, and a post replacement also starts at $425. Staining and restoration work starts at $900. The big variables are post spacing, whether you're racking the fence to follow uneven ground, whether posts go in concrete or tamped soil, and what you're starting with if it's a repair.
