Wilmington’s harbor air and Los Angeles’ fence code shape every yard here, and this crew builds vinyl and aluminum fencing to handle both from day one.
PVAF has fabricated vinyl and aluminum fencing since 2018, rated 5.0 across our service area. A free, no-pressure estimate is one call away.


Salt air off the port and tight side yards make Wilmington a different job than an inland LA neighborhood entirely.
Avalon Boulevard and the streets near Figueroa see privacy runs, pool enclosures, and property-line fencing built to hold up against harbor air, custom sized to your lot and its exposure to salt and wind alike.
Vinyl is the workhorse fence for Wilmington yards, and there’s a reason it fits this neighborhood in particular. The color runs all the way through the PVC, not painted on, so a scrape from a bike or a hose cart never flashes white, and the panels don’t yellow under the sun bouncing off the harbor. It doesn’t rot, and it doesn’t need paint.
Install it once, rinse it twice a year, and it keeps its look through the salt-tinged air that comes off the Port of Los Angeles. We fabricate it in 10+ colors and 10+ styles, from full privacy with no gaps between boards to picket, semi-privacy, ranch rail, and pool-code enclosures, with heights custom-built from 2 to 8 ft and racked to follow the slope of your lot.
Our aluminum line is modern and architectural, never spear-top or classic-decorative styles, with privacy, semi-privacy, picket, and gate styles finished in powder-coated black, white, or wood-grain tones. It carries real numbers: 20-year material, 10-year coating, 2-year steel components, plus our own 5-year workmanship warranty on top.
One honest note for a neighborhood this close to the water: saltwater and coastal exposure are excluded from the aluminum warranty, and its finish must be washed on a documented six-month schedule to stay covered. For yards right along the harbor side, we’ll usually walk you toward vinyl instead, and save aluminum for lots set back from direct salt exposure.
Wilmington sits low against the Port of Los Angeles, and wind off the harbor is a real design factor. Where a run needs extra backbone, we build with metal inserts inside the vinyl rails: it looks vinyl outside, but there’s steel bracing inside, and it takes any realistic wind this area gets.
Homeowners here call us most for full privacy fencing along tight side yards, pool enclosures that meet the state barrier code, and gates sized for the narrow driveways off Avalon Boulevard and Figueroa Street.
We also build semi-privacy and picket runs for front yards held to LA’s 3.5 ft limit, wall toppers on existing block walls, and patio covers for the small backyards typical of this part of the harbor. All of it comes in vinyl and in aluminum.

A few factors move the number more: total footage, fence height, material choice, gate count and width, whether the lot has a slope to rack against, and whether an old fence needs demolition first. A phone estimate helps, a real figure needs a visit.
Squeeze a run into a side yard and the panel sits a step from anyone using it, so surface reads as loudly as shade does. Neither material takes paint later, which makes the tone you choose the tone you keep.
Nothing sits on top of a vinyl board, so harbor air has no coating to lift and a scuff never flashes white. Family first: four plain solids, then six smooth grains, then the blends that carry real texture.
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.
Out here the finish matters more than the shade. Heat sets powder into the metal instead of a brush laying paint over it, so nothing needs repainting. Choice is thin: three finishes on most profiles, matte black on the contoured slat.
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.
Screening a small yard is not the same job as enclosing water, and the table sorts styles rather than yards. Take the ceiling your style allows, then let the run’s purpose and the limit on your frontage bring it down.

This gallery holds vinyl and aluminum work finished around Wilmington: privacy runs, pool enclosures, and gates sized for the tight lots and salt-tinged air this part of the harbor is known for, from Figueroa Street to Avalon Boulevard and every yard in between.
Wilmington has been part of the City of Los Angeles since it was annexed in 1909, and today it’s home to roughly 53,815 residents on the edge of the South Bay and Harbor region, about 18 miles south of downtown LA.
It sits alongside Carson, Long Beach, San Pedro, and Harbor City, with Figueroa Street and Avalon Boulevard running as its main north-south corridors past a mix of older single-family lots and industrial blocks tied to the Port of Los Angeles and the LA waterfront nearby.
Living this close to the Port of Los Angeles means Wilmington yards deal with salt-laden air most inland LA neighborhoods never see. That air works on metal fencing over time, which is why material choice and warranty terms matter more here than in a dry-inland lot, and why we walk every Wilmington homeowner through the tradeoffs between vinyl and aluminum before a fence goes in.
Fences in Wilmington fall under Los Angeles Municipal Code 12.22 C.20(f): front yard fencing is capped at 3.5 ft, side and rear fencing at 6 ft. A non-masonry fence like vinyl only needs a building permit once it goes above 10 ft, while a masonry or concrete wall needs one at any height over 3.5 ft.
If your property has an HOA, its CC&Rs can set a stricter limit than the city code, and that stricter rule wins. Verify current limits and any permit requirement with the Los Angeles Department of City Planning before finalizing your project.
Every Wilmington install starts with a careful walk of the lot and ends with paperwork in hand: in between sits a written contract, a crew that genuinely knows harbor conditions, and a finished fence built to Los Angeles code.
No surprise line items once the crew arrives on site. Call or send the form to start the estimate.
Someone measures your Wilmington lot in person, checks setbacks near the property line, and hands you a real figure.
Scope, materials, height, gate count, and timeline all land on paper before a single post goes into the ground.
The crew clears the old fence, sets new posts, hangs panels and gates, and leaves the yard cleaner than found.
You get vinyl’s transferable lifetime coverage or aluminum’s 20/10/2 terms, plus our 5-year workmanship.

Practical reads for Wilmington homeowners on upkeep near salt air, material choice, and local fence rules.
Cedar-style vinyl fencing gives a Los Angeles yard real wood grain texture without the upkeep wood demands.

Los Angeles Municipal Code 12.22 C.20(f) caps Wilmington front yard fencing at 3.5 ft, and allows side or rear runs up to 6 ft. Verify current limits with the Los Angeles Department of City Planning before you build.
A non-masonry fence like vinyl needs a building permit only above 10 ft in Los Angeles.
A masonry or concrete wall over 3.5 ft needs one regardless of location. Verify locally with the Department of City Planning before starting work.
Wilmington sits close to the harbor, and saltwater exposure is excluded from our aluminum warranty, with coating that needs cleaning every 6 months near the water.
For yards closest to the port, we often recommend vinyl instead.
Yes. In windy spots near the water we build with metal inserts inside the vinyl rails, so it still looks like vinyl outside but takes any realistic wind this area gets.
California’s Pool Safety Act calls for a barrier that stands at least 60 inches tall, sits no more than 2 inches off the ground, and keeps gap widths under 4 inches, with a gate that latches and closes itself while swinging outward.
Vinyl is recognized as a non-climbable barrier material.
If your community has an HOA, its CC&Rs can set stricter limits than the city allows, and that stricter rule applies. Check your HOA’s guidelines alongside the city code before finalizing height or style.
