Vinyl and Aluminum Fencing in Burlingame

Vinyl and aluminum fencing goes in across Burlingame, from tall backyard privacy runs to open picket lines near downtown.

Some lots need full privacy, others just a clean line along the sidewalk, and the trees along the street factor into both. Browse what’s below, or call and describe your yard for a free estimate, same-day reply guaranteed.

Vinyl fencing built for Burlingame’s older, tree-lined lots

Burlingame earned its City of Trees name from decades of mature street trees, and many yards in Easton Addition and Burlingame Terrace still carry the root systems that come with them. Vinyl posts go in with a footing sized to clear root mass without fighting a tree worth keeping.

Privacy panels lock together tongue-and-groove with no gap, picket runs hold the open front-yard look the city’s 4 ft open-design rule allows, and pool enclosures follow the barrier code that keeps them climb-resistant and self-latching.

With more than ten colors and ten profiles on the line, the color runs through the material rather than sitting on top, so a scrape never flashes white and the panel will not yellow in the sun. A rinse twice a year is the whole upkeep list.

Aluminum fencing with a modern, architectural line

When the look leans contemporary, aluminum steps in with crisp privacy, semi-privacy, and picket designs. Slats close for full screening, open for airflow, or spread into a picket, finished in black, white, or a wood-grain tone.

Every panel is rated ASTM E84 Class A for flame and smoke, on top of a 20-year metal warranty, 10 years on the coating, and our own 5-year workmanship added in. Burlingame sits far enough from open water that this line performs well across most of the city, though a documented cleaning every 6 months still keeps the finish looking new.

Gates, wall toppers, and custom heights from 2 to 8 ft

Every style ships with a matching gate, from a single walk gate to a wide driveway span framed to carry its own weight and ready for an automation kit later. Toppers set on top of an existing block or concrete wall, adding height and screening without tearing the wall down, a common ask on Burlingame’s older masonry fences.

Heights are cut anywhere from 2 to 8 ft and racked to a sloped yard so the line follows the grade. Short runs, corner lots, and unusual heights are work we take on rather than skip.

What shapes the cost of a Burlingame fence?

Several things move the number: total footage, height, the material chosen, how many gates go in, root systems from mature trees near the line, and whether the old fence needs to come out first. A real figure means seeing the yard in person, so the estimate stays free and on-site, usually answered the same business day.

Services we offer in Burlingame

Across the city we build full privacy panels, open picket runs, and matching gates sized true to a driveway opening of any width.

Color Choices Here

A tall privacy run and a low picket line ask different things of a color, and the two materials answer differently. Vinyl offers families to work inside. Aluminum offers finishes. Neither one asks you to paint it later.

What Vinyl Comes In

Fourteen colors, three families. Solids for a clean line. Six carry a smooth wood grain, Dark Sequoia and Mesquite included, when a board look matters more. TimberGrain blends when texture does. Two-tone pairs a body color with a frame.

Aluminum: A Short List

The style decides the finish more than taste does. Contoured slats arrive matte black and only that. Flatter panels open white and a wood grain up alongside black. All powder coat, baked on rather than brushed on, and nothing custom.

What Governs the Height

Fencing in Burlingame, California

Burlingame, on the Peninsula between the Bay and I-280

Burlingame is an incorporated city in San Mateo County, sitting about 15 miles south of San Francisco on the Peninsula, with San Francisco Bay to the east and I-280 to the west. The city incorporated in 1908, and just over 31,000 people call it home today.

Neighborhoods range from Easton Addition and Burlingame Terrace near downtown to Ray Park and Burlingame Gardens further out, with Millbrae, Hillsborough, and San Mateo as neighbors on either side.

Downtown Burlingame Avenue, Broadway, and the City of Trees

Burlingame Avenue and Broadway carry the city’s two downtown shopping strips, both walkable and lined with the mature street trees that earned Burlingame its City of Trees name. Washington Park, a 19-acre green space with tennis courts and summer jazz concerts, anchors the residential side, and the 1894 Caltrain station still stands as one of the city’s oldest landmarks.

What Burlingame’s mature trees mean for a fence line

Decades-old street trees bring decades-old root systems, and in the established neighborhoods around downtown a fence line often has to work around them rather than through them. Post spacing and footing depth get planned around root mass that’s visible and root mass that isn’t, so the line stays straight without cutting into a tree worth keeping.

Burlingame fence height rules, in brief

Under Burlingame Municipal Code Section 25.31.070, a front-yard fence maxes out at 3 ft if solid or 4 ft if the design is open enough to let light and air through, such as picket or wrought iron.

Side and rear fences can reach 7 ft, made up of 6 ft of solid material plus 1 ft of open lattice on top, and corner lots must keep a clear sight triangle. Rules can vary by lot and zone, so verify the specifics with the City of Burlingame Building Department before you build.

Four Steps to Your New Burlingame Fence

How It Works

A Burlingame install follows the same four stages as every job we take on, whether it’s a single wall topper or a full privacy run around a corner lot. Each stage is set up before the last one closes, so you always know what happens next.

No pressure and no surprise costs: a plan laid out up front, and cleanup handled before the crew leaves.

  1. Free On-Site Estimate

    A member of our team walks the yard with you, measures every line, and returns a firm number before leaving.

  2. A Clear Written Contract

    Materials, colors, heights, gate count, and timeline go on paper, so the figure you approve up front is what you pay.

  3. Quality Installation

    Our crew sets posts around any root systems from mature trees, hangs panels and gates, and hauls the old fence away.

  4. Warranty and Aftercare

    Vinyl’s transferable limited lifetime warranty and aluminum’s 20-year terms carry our own 5-year workmanship too.

Burlingame FAQ

Your Burlingame Fencing Questions, Answered

Most Burlingame fence questions circle back to a handful of topics: permits, HOA sign-off, front-yard height limits, and how mature street trees affect where a fence can go. The answers below cover what homeowners ask most; anything specific to your lot is sorted on a call or a visit.

Still Have a Question?

Call or message us for a free, no-obligation estimate, same-day reply.

Burlingame requires a permit for fences above certain heights under Municipal Code Section 25.31.070; front, side, and rear limits all factor in, along with corner sight-triangle rules on corner lots.

Verify the specifics with the City of Burlingame Building Department before you build.

Front-yard fences in Burlingame top out at 3 ft if solid, or 4 ft if the design lets light and air through, such as picket or wrought iron.

Side and rear fences run up to 7 ft: 6 ft solid plus 1 ft of open lattice. Zoning varies by lot, so verify with the City of Burlingame Building Department.

In Burlingame’s older neighborhoods, decades of street trees mean decades of root systems near the property line.

Post spacing and footing depth get planned around root mass that’s visible, so the fence line stays straight without cutting into a tree worth keeping.

Yes, for most yards in the city. Our aluminum line runs modern privacy, semi-privacy, and picket profiles in black, white, or wood-grain finishes with a Class A flame and smoke rating.

It carries a 20-year material warranty, 10 years on the coating, and our own 5-year workmanship on top.

Often, yes. If a Burlingame property sits under an HOA, its CC&Rs may require sign-off before any fence work, and those private rules can run tighter than the city on height, color, or material.

Our vinyl and aluminum lines come in enough finishes and heights to fit most of those guidelines.

All of them. We build vinyl and aluminum fencing in Easton Addition, Burlingame Terrace, Ray Park, and Burlingame Gardens, plus the wider Peninsula from Millbrae down through San Mateo.
