Your Richmond yard sits near Suisun Bay, where salt air and wind test any fence. We size vinyl and aluminum lines to your lot, racked to the grade.
Licensed and building custom vinyl and aluminum fences since 2018, we answer every Richmond call the same day with a free, on-site estimate.


Richmond homeowners get vinyl privacy, semi-privacy and picket fencing, plus a modern aluminum line, all fabricated in house.
Bay winds and salt air off Suisun Bay change what holds up on a Richmond lot, so material choice matters more here than inland. Vinyl resists the salt entirely; aluminum works too, with its coating cleaned on a set schedule near the water.
For Richmond lots we build vinyl privacy, semi-privacy and picket fencing, ranch rail on wider parcels near the water, and pool enclosures that meet the state barrier code. The aluminum line adds a modern privacy or semi-privacy option with matching gates in black, white or a wood-grain finish. Each style comes with a walk gate or driveway gate to the same spec, framed to hold true across wide spans.
Richmond caps front yard fences at 4 ft and side or rear fences at 6 ft, under Municipal Code Article 15.04.601. Go above 6 ft and a building permit applies; every fence, regardless of height, needs Zoning Conformance approval first.
Corner lots hold to a 3.5 ft sight triangle with no exceptions for height, a rule enforced strictly near Macdonald Avenue and San Pablo Avenue intersections. Richmond’s Planning Division holds the exact setback and corner sight-triangle detail for any given lot, worth checking before a design is finalized.

Richmond sits on Suisun Bay and San Francisco Bay both, and the water shapes what lasts here. Vinyl never yellows and resists salt entirely, a real advantage on Marina Bay and Point Richmond lots exposed to the water.
Our aluminum line holds up too, though its coating warranty excludes direct saltwater exposure, so we recommend vinyl for the properties closest to the shoreline and reserve aluminum for inland streets. In wind corridors off the bay, metal inserts inside vinyl rails add strength without changing the look.
Footage, height, material and the number of gates set the bulk of the number, along with slope racking and whether the old fence needs hauling away first. A straight run along a Kensington side yard prices differently than a sloped Point Richmond lot or a wide Marina Bay driveway gate. A crew visit measures the actual run and slope, then hands you one firm number to compare, free and with no obligation.
From Downtown Richmond’s tighter lots to the wider parcels around El Sobrante and Kensington, lot shapes vary enough that a template fence rarely fits. North Richmond and the streets off Richmond Parkway see different wind exposure than the hills near Wildcat Canyon Regional Park. We measure each yard on site rather than quoting off a satellite view, so the height, the gate width and the post spacing all match the actual property.
Style narrows the color before you ever reach a swatch. What the fence has to do, how exposed the run is, which material carries it: settle those three and the choice left in front of you is short enough to make in an afternoon.
Feel decides more than shade here. Four solids are flat to the touch. Six run a smooth grain under your hand. Four textured blends have the deepest surface of the lot. Fourteen altogether, and the tone sits in the material, not on it.
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.
Black steps back into planting until only the boundary reads. White does the opposite and draws the line. A grain tone sits between. Those three cover privacy and picket profiles; contoured slats wear matte black alone, none of it custom.
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.
Ranch rail on a wide parcel and a solid privacy screen behind the house are not the same question. Wind counts, and so does what you need hidden. The ranges are outer limits per style; your ground and the local cap bring them to one number.

Point Richmond porches, Marina Bay driveways and Kensington side yards all show up in this set: vinyl privacy runs, aluminum picket gates and a small run of state-code pool enclosures, each one sized and racked to the actual lot it sits on today.
Richmond became a city in 1905 and now counts around 116,000 residents in Contra Costa County, about 10 miles northeast of San Francisco on the Suisun Bay waterfront. Downtown Richmond, Marina Bay, North Richmond, Kensington and El Sobrante each carry a different lot pattern, from tight downtown parcels to the wider yards near El Sobrante and the hills toward Wildcat Canyon Regional Park.
Suisun Bay and San Francisco Bay both border the city, and that water brings salt air and steady wind to yards near Marina Bay and Point Richmond in particular. Vinyl fencing does not corrode and never yellows, which suits the exposure well. Metal inserts inside the vinyl rails add strength against the wind without changing how the fence looks from the street.
Parts of Richmond sit in wildland urban interface zones, including areas near Wildcat Canyon Regional Park, where local fire codes weigh in on combustible fencing materials.

City code caps front yard fences at 4 ft and side or rear fences at 6 ft, with a stricter 3.5 ft limit on corner sight triangles and no exceptions for height there. Anything over 6 ft needs a building permit, and every fence needs Zoning Conformance approval regardless of height.
Confirm your parcel’s exact zone and setback with Richmond’s Planning Division ahead of a final design; if your street falls inside a homeowners association, its rules may already run stricter than the city’s own limit.
A Richmond fence job breaks into four stages, each one confirmed before the next starts: the site visit, the written scope, the build itself, and the warranty handoff at the end. Nothing skips ahead without your sign off.
Reach out and a crew walks your Richmond property in person before any number gets written down at all.
A crew measures your Richmond lot in person and walks the slope, corners and gate spots before any number gets written.
Materials, colors, heights, gate count and the timeline all go into one written agreement before work starts.
Posts go in, panels get racked to the grade, and the old fence comes down and hauls away same visit.
Coverage kicks in at handoff: vinyl’s lifetime warranty, aluminum’s 20 year terms, and our 5 year labor guarantee.

Fencing Questions From Richmond Homeowners
Richmond’s height caps, its corner sight triangle rule and the bay air off Suisun Bay all shape how a fence gets built here, and these are the questions homeowners bring up most, often long before the first post goes into the ground. Ask anything more specific to your street when you call in.

Richmond caps front yard fences at 4 ft and side or rear fences at 6 ft under Municipal Code Article 15.04.601.
Corner lots hold to a stricter 3.5 ft sight triangle with no height exceptions. Confirm your exact zone and setback with Richmond’s Planning Division before finalizing a design.
A building permit applies to any fence over 6 ft. Separately, every fence in Richmond needs Zoning Conformance approval regardless of height.
Check current requirements with the Zoning Administrator before work is scheduled.
Richmond enforces a 3.5 ft maximum height within the corner sight triangle, with no exceptions, even where the general side or rear cap runs to 6 ft.
This applies near intersections such as Macdonald Avenue and San Pablo Avenue. Verify the exact dimensions locally.
Our aluminum line’s coating warranty excludes direct saltwater exposure, which matters for lots close to Marina Bay or Point Richmond.
Vinyl resists salt air with no special upkeep, so we typically recommend it for properties nearest the water and reserve aluminum for streets set further back.
City code sets the floor, not the ceiling. Where a Richmond property sits within a homeowners association, its CC&Rs can set a lower height cap or added design rules than the municipal code allows.
Check both the city rule and any HOA documents before finalizing a plan.
We build in Downtown Richmond, Marina Bay, North Richmond, Kensington and El Sobrante, along with streets off Richmond Parkway and San Pablo Avenue.
Wind and salt exposure differ enough across these areas that material and inserts get planned per lot.
