Rolling terrain from Five Canyons to Palomares Hills means a Castro Valley fence has to rack to the slope before it ever meets the county’s height limits.
Licensed for both materials since 2018, we fabricate in-house and back every vinyl install with a transferable lifetime warranty.


Across Castro Valley’s hillside and flatland lots alike, we build vinyl and aluminum fencing to match the terrain.
Some lots sit flat near the Marketplace, others climb the hillside toward Five Canyons, and the right fence answers to the ground it sits on. Take a look at the options below, or reach out with your yard’s layout for a free, same-day estimate.
Neighborhoods like Castro Valley Hills, Palomares Hills, and Five Canyons sit on rolling terrain, and a vinyl fence there needs to follow the grade rather than fight it. Panels rack to a slope so the top line stays even while the bottom follows the ground.
Full privacy comes from tongue-and-groove boards with zero gap between them, an open picket profile keeps the look that fits the area’s ranching heritage, and pool enclosures meet the barrier code that keeps them climb-resistant and self-latching. With more than ten colors and ten profiles, 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.
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. The finish is powder-coated and carries an ASTM E84 Class A rating for flame and smoke. The metal carries a 20-year warranty, the coating 10 years, and our own workmanship warranty adds another 5 on top.
Every style ships with a matching gate, from a single walk gate to a wide driveway span built 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.
Heights are cut anywhere from 2 to 8 ft and racked to the grade, which matters here more than most places given how much of Castro Valley sits on a hillside. Short runs, corner lots, and unusual heights are work we take on rather than skip.
Several things move the number: total footage, height, material, how many gates go in, how steep the lot pitches, and whether the old fence needs to come out first.
Slope is the one people underestimate most on the hillside side of town, since a steep grade takes more time to rack correctly than a flat run near the Marketplace ever does. A real figure means seeing the yard in person, so the estimate stays free and on-site, usually answered the same business day.

We build vinyl and aluminum fencing right across the area, from full privacy panels to open picket and ranch-rail runs, sized to whatever shape a Castro Valley lot turns out to be.
A run that steps down a hillside shows its panel faces one after another, so a tone carries further here than it does along a flat side yard. Material comes first. Each one arrives with its own range, and the two do not overlap.
Plain solids come in four, the quiet option for a fence meant to sit behind planting. Six smooth grains follow; Coastal Cedar sits in that group. Four TimberGrain textures finish the range with depth a hand can feel.
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.
A short list, and honestly short. Flat and slat styles arrive in black, in white, or in a grain look. Contoured slats arrive matte black, full stop. Powder goes on dry and bakes hard, so hillside sun gets nowhere with it.
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.
Grade is the first thing we measure. On a slope the same panel reads taller at the low end than at the top, so the figure that counts is the one taken at the post. Style sets the range. The local limit caps it.
| Fence style | Min | Max |
|---|---|---|
| Vinyl privacy | 4 ft | 8 ft |
| Vinyl privacy w/Accent top | 5 ft | 8 ft |
| Vinyl picket | 3.5 ft | 6 ft |
| Vinyl wall topper | 2 ft | 3 ft |
| Aluminum privacy | 4 ft | 12 ft |
| Aluminum semi-privacy | 4 ft | 12 ft |
| Aluminum privacy hybrid | 4 ft | 12 ft |
| Aluminum wall topper | 2 ft | 4 ft |
These images cover finished vinyl and aluminum jobs from around Castro Valley, from hillside privacy runs that follow the slope to open rail fencing on the flatter parcels near the Marketplace. Each project shown here is a real job, with the panel, gate, and finish you’d actually get.
Castro Valley is an unincorporated census-designated place in Alameda County, in the East Bay next to Hayward, and it’s the largest unincorporated community the county has. Around 66,000 people live here, spread across neighborhoods that range from Five Canyons and Palomares Hills to West Castro Valley and the streets near Jensen Road. Ashland, San Lorenzo, and Hayward sit just over the line.
Much of Castro Valley traces back to ranching and agricultural land, and the rolling terrain that made it good grazing country still shapes the neighborhoods built into it today, with bay views from some of the higher lots. Anthony Chabot Regional Park and Lake Chabot Regional Park sit along the edge of town, and the Castro Valley Marketplace anchors the flatter commercial strip near the center.
A fence in Castro Valley Hills or Palomares Hills rarely sits on flat ground for its whole run. Panels rack to the slope so the top edge reads level while the bottom rail steps down with the grade, and on the county’s larger ranch-style parcels a rail fence often fits the property better than a full privacy line.
Castro Valley is unincorporated, so fence height comes from Alameda County code rather than a city hall, under Title 17, Chapter 17.52.430. Fences generally top out at 6 ft in side and rear yards, with a 4 ft limit near an intersection or a street-side yard line.
Corner lots carry a strict rule too: no more than 2 ft of height within 30 ft of an intersection, to keep sightlines clear. Zoning specifics vary by parcel, so verify with the Alameda County Planning Department before you build.
Whether your lot is flat near the Marketplace or climbing the hillside toward Five Canyons, a Castro Valley install runs through the same four stages, each one setting up the next so nothing gets rushed, skipped, or left for later.
No guesswork on the slope and no hidden costs, just a clear plan you approve before work ever starts.
Someone comes to walk the property with you, checks the slope, and hands you a real number, not a guess.
Heights, colors, gate placement, and the timeline go in writing before anyone touches the ground.
Posts rack to the slope, panels rise with the grade, gates swing true, and the old fence rides off with the crew.
Aluminum’s 20-year terms and vinyl’s limited lifetime warranty come backed by our own 5-year workmanship too.

Real answers for Castro Valley homeowners on slope, style, and getting a hillside yard ready to build.
Rolling gates slide along the fence line instead of swinging out, fitting Los Angeles driveways too narrow for clearance.

Castro Valley is unincorporated, so fence rules come from Alameda County’s own code, Title 17, Chapter 17.52.430, rather than a city hall.
Height limits determine whether a permit or variance applies. Verify the specifics with the Alameda County Planning Department before you build.
County code limits fence height to just 2 ft within 30 ft of an intersection, tighter than the general 6 ft side and rear limit, to keep sightlines open for drivers.
It applies on corner lots throughout Castro Valley, and it’s worth checking before finalizing a design near any intersection.
No.
Castro Valley is the largest unincorporated community in Alameda County, so it has no city hall of its own; fence rules and permits run through the Alameda County Planning Department and Community Development office instead of a municipal building department.
Yes.
Neighborhoods like Castro Valley Hills, Palomares Hills, and Five Canyons sit on rolling terrain, and a fence there is racked to follow the slope rather than stepping over it, so the top line reads level while the bottom rail tracks the grade.
Often, yes.
Castro Valley’s ranching and agricultural roots left plenty of larger parcels, and a 2, 3, or 4-rail ranch style tends to suit those properties better than a full privacy line, while vinyl and aluminum picket or privacy styles still fit smaller, closer-in lots.
