Protect your investment
A new wood fence should be sealed before the sun gets to it
New lumber is at its most absorbent the week it goes up — that is when stain protects the most. We hand new-fence staining and painting to Tom Sawyer Fence Painting, a San Diego County specialist since 2002 (CSLB 1038505).

Is your fence inside Zone Zero?
California now requires the first five feet around a structure to be ember-resistant. Much of East County sits in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, so wood fence touching a house may need to be swapped for non-combustible material.
Where we work
East County San Diego and beyond
Based on Lake Hill Road in Santee, which means short drives, fast estimates, and crews that know the local dirt, grades, and HOA habits.

How much does a fence cost in San Diego?
Fence pricing in San Diego depends on material, height, linear footage, number of gates, and site conditions such as slope, demolition, and old post removal. Chain link is typically the least expensive material and ornamental iron the most expensive, with wood and vinyl between them. Apache Fence in Santee provides written estimates by phone at (619) 672-8720.
What is the best fence material for the San Diego climate?
Vinyl and ornamental iron perform best with minimal maintenance in San Diego because neither rots nor requires repainting under high UV exposure. Wood fencing performs well but requires stain or paint to resist UV, winter rain, and coastal salt air; unsealed wood typically greys and checks within a few seasons.
