Vinyl and aluminum fencing in San Mateo
From backyard privacy to a clean aluminum front-yard line, we build vinyl and aluminum fencing across San Mateo and the Peninsula.
Every yard is different, so the right one usually depends on your slope, your exposure, and how much privacy you want. Browse the styles below, or tell us what you have in mind and get a free on-site estimate with a same-business-day reply.
Vinyl privacy, picket, pool, and ranch fencing
Vinyl is the workhorse for most yards in the city. Privacy panels lock together with tongue-and-groove boards that leave no gap, keeping a backyard quiet and screened. Picket runs hold the open, traditional front-yard look. Pool enclosures follow the barrier code that keeps them climb-resistant and self-latching.
Ranch rail fits the roomier parcels out west toward Hillsborough. With more than ten colors and ten profiles on the line, the fence complements the house rather than fighting it. The color runs through the material, not painted on top, so a scrape never flashes white and it will not yellow in the sun. A rinse twice a year is the whole upkeep list.
Aluminum fencing with a clean, modern finish
When the look leans architectural and modern, aluminum is the step-up choice. Its lineup covers crisp privacy, semi-privacy, and picket designs. The slats close for full screening, open for semi-privacy airflow, or spread into an open picket, 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 is warranted for 20 years, the coating for 10, and our own workmanship warranty adds another 5. Close to the bayfront, salt air matters, and the section further down covers it plainly.
Gates, wall toppers, and custom heights from 2 to 8 ft
Every style ships with a gate to match, from one walk gate to a broad driveway span framed to hold its own weight. Wider driveway gates get extra framing so they swing true season after season, and they are ready for an automation kit should you fit one later.
Toppers set on top of a standing 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 a sloping yard, so the line rides the grade rather than stepping over it. Short runs and unusual heights are no problem, work many crews would rather skip.
What shapes the cost of a San Mateo fence?
Several things steer the figure: total footage, height, the material you pick, how many gates go in, how sharply the ground pitches, and whether a tear-out of the old fence comes first. Grade and demolition are the two people tend to overlook. A real number means seeing the yard in person, so the estimate is free and on-site, usually answered the same business day, and returned as a firm figure rather than a rough phone guess.
Services we offer in San Mateo
Across San Mateo we build vinyl and aluminum fencing of every kind, from total privacy to pool-code enclosures and matching gates on the same spec.
Pick the Color Once
There is no repaint down the line, which changes how much thought this deserves. Vinyl holds its color inside the material. Aluminum holds a coated finish that keeps its look in full sun. Choose once and the question does not come back.
The Fourteen, Grouped
Front-yard fence, back-yard fence, same fourteen to choose from. Four solids sit at the plain end. Six smooth grains sit in the middle, Slate Gray among the cooler ones. Four textured blends finish the range. Colors mix between runs.

The Coated Four

What Pro Vinyl and Aluminum Fencing customers say
Pro Vinyl Fencing did a fantastic job at my home in Los Angeles. They worked hard and got things done on time and on budget. The product is fantastic as I have a completely private yard because of their work!
Their initial estimate was thousands of dollars less than other contractors who bid on my job. I will use them again!
Highly recommend Pro Vinyl Fencing. From the sales process to the installation they did an outstanding job. David and his helper were amazing with the installation, they were professional and very thorough. I would highly recommend Pro Vinyl fencing.
Excellent work by these guys on a wall-topper fence and a couple of side yard gates at my property in Burbank. The sales person I worked with, Kevin Yegiszaryan, was very knowledgeable and responsive, the price was fair, and the crew showed up early, did great work, and wrapped up a couple of hours ahead of schedule.
Highly recommend!
We had gone through 3 different quotes from others and Pro Vinyl was our last quote and it was the BEST QUOTE! In a matter of a week they came and installed the vinyl fence which looks perfect. Hike and Sev did an amazing job.
I will definitely recommend hiring them.

Fencing in San Mateo, California
San Mateo, from downtown to the bayfront Peninsula
San Mateo sits on the San Francisco Peninsula in San Mateo County, about 20 miles south of the city. It was incorporated in 1894 on land that was once Rancho San Mateo, and today around 105,000 people live here.
The downtown core along Tilton and Delaware runs dense and walkable, while Bay Meadows, Hillsdale, and the blocks west of El Camino Real spread into lower-density lots. Each layout asks something different of a fence, from a tight downtown side yard to a wide suburban backyard.
How do the San Bruno and Crystal Springs gaps affect fences?
Two openings in the coastal hills, the San Bruno Gap and the Crystal Springs Gap, funnel ocean air toward San Mateo and bring gusty afternoon winds through much of the summer. Steady wind is hard on a tall fence over time. This is where our metal insert earns its keep: the panel looks like vinyl from the outside, but there is metal inside the rails, so it takes any realistic wind the Bay throws at it without racking loose or leaning.
Fencing near Coyote Point and the bayfront
San Mateo meets the water along Coyote Point and Parkside Aquatic Park on Seal Slough, and nearly a quarter of the city’s area is water. Salt air changes the material math near the bay. Vinyl is PVC, so salt does not touch it.
Aluminum handles most conditions well, but its warranty excludes saltwater, and it needs a documented cleaning every six months. Close to the bayfront we usually steer you toward vinyl, and we are straight about that trade-off up front.
San Mateo fence height rules, in brief
In San Mateo, fences and walls top out at 6 feet by default. Front and street-side yards are held to 3 feet so sightlines stay clear. A building permit comes into play once a fence goes above 7 feet, and a side or rear fence can reach 8 feet only when the part above 6 feet is at least half open, such as lattice.
Rules shift with your zone and lot, so verify the details with the City of San Mateo Community Development Department before you build.

Common Questions
Your San Mateo fencing questions, answered
Most San Mateo fence projects raise a few recurring topics: permits, HOA approval, the afternoon wind off the Bay, and how aluminum fares near saltwater. Below are no-spin replies to the ones homeowners raise most. Anything specific to your lot is best sorted on a phone call or a free on-site visit.

In San Mateo, fences top out at 6 feet by default, and a permit is required above 7 feet. Front and street-side yards are capped at 3 feet to keep sightlines clear.
Zones and lots vary, so confirm the specifics with the City of San Mateo Community Development Department before you build.
Yes, but only under specific conditions. A side or rear fence can reach 8 feet when the portion above 6 feet is at least 50 percent open, such as a lattice top.
That path also needs neighbor consent, a building permit, and a planning fence exception that notifies neighbors within 500 feet.
They can, over time. The San Bruno and Crystal Springs gaps channel gusty afternoon winds off the ocean, and steady pressure works a tall fence loose year after year.
The fix is our metal insert: the panel reads as vinyl from the street, but there is metal inside the rails.
It depends on how close to the water you are. Vinyl is PVC and salt air does not affect it, so it is the easy call near Coyote Point and the bayfront.
Aluminum performs well in most settings, but its warranty excludes saltwater and the coating needs a documented cleaning every six months.
Often they do. When a property sits under an HOA, its CC&Rs may call for sign-off before any fence work, and those private rules can run tighter than the city on height, color, or profile.
Our vinyl and aluminum styles come in enough finishes and heights to fit most of those guidelines.
Every part of the city. We cover Downtown, Bay Meadows, Hillsdale, the Central Park area, and the blocks on either side of El Camino Real, plus the wider Peninsula around San Mateo.
