Berkeley splits into two worlds, the bayfront flats and the hills, and the right fence changes with where your home sits.
From full-privacy backyards to clean modern front lines, we build vinyl and aluminum and match it to your lot’s salt, slope, and fire exposure. Browse the styles below, or get a free on-site estimate with a same-business-day reply.
It comes down to where your home sits. On the bayfront flats near West Berkeley and the Marina, salt is what eats a fence, so vinyl usually wins: it is PVC, and salt cannot corrode it. Up in the hills, the worry shifts to wildfire, and aluminum earns its keep as a non-combustible metal. Slope and privacy settle the rest, and often it is a mix of both.
Down on the flats, vinyl covers most yards. Privacy panels use tongue-and-groove boards with no gaps, so the backyard stays screened. Picket keeps an open front-yard look, pool fencing meets the climb-resistant, self-latching code, and ranch rail suits the wider lots.
It comes in more than ten colors and ten styles, with the color running through the vinyl, so a nick never shows white and it never yellows. Salt off the bay does not touch it. Wash it down twice a year and you are done.

For a modern, architectural look, aluminum is the premium pick, and the material that answers the hills. The metal is non-combustible, powder-coated, and rated ASTM E84 Class A for flame and smoke, which matters where the fire code wants a non-combustible span.
It is rigid enough to shrug off ridge-lot wind. Want vinyl up there instead? We build it with a metal insert, so it looks like vinyl from the street with metal inside the rails. Near the bayfront salt, vinyl is the better call.
Matching gates come with every style, from a single walk gate to a wide driveway gate framed to carry its own weight, automation-ready. Wall toppers add height and privacy to an existing block or concrete wall.
On the steep hillside lots Berkeley is known for, heights run from 2 to 8 ft, cut to the grade with racking so the fence follows the slope, no gaps underneath. Small jobs and odd heights are welcome, the kind plenty of crews turn away.
A handful of things move the number: footage, height, material, the gate count, how steep the ground is, and whether an old fence has to come out. On the hill lots, slope and access do more to the price than people expect. No two yards are alike, so a real figure means a look at the actual ground. The on-site estimate is free, usually with a same-business-day reply, and comes back as a straight number, not a guess.
We build the vinyl and aluminum lines across Berkeley, from privacy runs through matching gates and toppers that raise a wall you own.
The material decides the menu. Vinyl gives you the wider one by a distance, aluminum a tight set of finishes that suit its profiles. In both, color belongs to the material itself and not to a layer sitting on the surface waiting to chip.
Three families cover the vinyl range. The solids stay plain and quiet. Smooth wood grains read like stained board, Dark Sequoia among them. Textured TimberGrain blends give a rougher face. Families can be mixed between sections.
Pro Vinyl and Aluminum Fencing partners with Catalyst, one of the leading vinyl fence manufacturers in the United States. Their US-made vinyl, our custom fabrication and installation, backed by a transferable limited lifetime material warranty.
Set beside the vinyl range this is a short menu, and padding it would be a lie the swatches expose. Black, white, wood grain: that covers the flat and slat profiles. Contoured slats hold matte black. Heat bonded coating, no custom mixing.
Pro Vinyl and Aluminum Fencing is a trained and authorized SLEEKFENCE™ contractor. SLEEKFENCE™ is a premium-class aluminum fencing brand registered in the USA – their engineered material, our custom fabrication and welded install, with a 20-year material warranty behind it.
Flats or hills, height starts with the style. Each one tops out somewhere different, and the table lays that out. The yard then narrows it, and the limit Berkeley sets narrows it again. We build to the lowest of the three.

Berkeley sits on the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay in northern Alameda County, part of the East Bay. Around 124,000 people live here, in a city incorporated in 1878 and shaped for well over a century by the University of California.
The land climbs from low bayside flats to the steep Berkeley Hills along the eastern ridge, and the neighborhoods follow that grade, from West Berkeley and the Marina near the water to North Berkeley, Elmwood, Claremont, and the hill districts above. That rise from flats to ridge is the single biggest thing that changes a fence here.
The Berkeley Hills are a designated Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone and Wildland-Urban Interface area under the city’s fire code. In the highest-risk mitigation areas along Panoramic and Grizzly Peak, the code calls for a 5 ft non-combustible span where a fence attaches to a building, and it bars new or replacement combustible fence sections within 5 ft of a building or attached deck.
Aluminum is a non-combustible metal and meets that span; vinyl is PVC and does not, so it is not the material for that run against the house. The rules turn on your exact parcel, so verify yours with the City of Berkeley or berkeleyfiresafe.org before you build.
Height sets the paperwork. In Berkeley, a fence up to 6 ft generally needs no permit. Over 6 ft calls for a zoning permit, and over 7 ft adds a building permit on top. Limits and review can shift with your zoning district and parcel, and some hillside and view areas carry extra rules, so confirm the details with the City of Berkeley before the fence goes up. If your neighborhood has an HOA, its approval may be required as well.
Every Berkeley job runs the same four steps, whether it is a single hillside gate or a full privacy backyard on the flats. It starts with a free on-site visit and ends with a warranted fence, and you know what comes next before it happens.
No pressure, no surprise charges, just a clear plan and a crew that hauls the old fence off when the job is done.
A salesman comes out, measures the yard, walks the details with you, then hands you a real figure, not a guess.
Scope, materials, colors, heights, and timeline go in writing first, so the number you sign is the number you pay.
A dedicated crew sets the posts, hangs the panels and gates, racks to the slope, and carries the old fence away.
Vinyl gets a transferable limited lifetime warranty, aluminum 20-year terms, and our 5-year workmanship covers both.

Your Berkeley fencing questions, answered
A few things come up on nearly every Berkeley project: fire rules in the hills, how tall a fence can go, building on a slope, and whether salt near the bay favors vinyl. Here are straight answers to the ones we hear most. For anything tied to your parcel, a quick call or a free estimate works best.

In the Berkeley Hills fire zone, near Panoramic and Grizzly Peak, yes for the run by the house: a fence on a building needs a 5 ft non-combustible span, and no combustible fence within 5 ft of it.
Aluminum meets that as a non-combustible metal; vinyl (PVC) does not. Check with the City of Berkeley.
Up to 6 ft, nothing. Over 6 ft calls for a zoning permit, and over 7 ft a building permit.
Limits shift with your zoning district, and some hillside and view areas carry extra rules, so confirm with the City of Berkeley before you build. An HOA, if you have one, may require its own approval too.
Yes. On the steep hillside lots common in Berkeley, we rack the panels so the fence steps down with the grade instead of leaving gaps underneath, and we cut custom heights from 2 to 8 ft to fit.
Posts set in concrete footings keep it solid on the slope. It works the same for vinyl and aluminum.
Near the bayfront flats around West Berkeley and the Marina, vinyl is the safer call. It is PVC, so salt air does not corrode it.
Aluminum performs well in most settings, but its warranty excludes saltwater, so close to the bay we steer you toward vinyl. A free estimate settles it for your lot.
The hills catch more wind than the flats. On an exposed ridge lot, our metal-insert vinyl looks like vinyl from the street but carries a metal spine inside the rails, so it takes any realistic wind the hills get.
Aluminum is rigid on its own too. The posts and footings do the heavy lifting.
All across Berkeley. From North Berkeley, Elmwood, and Claremont to the hill districts and down through West Berkeley and the flats, the whole city is on the map.
