Wood fence replacement in Sunnyvale

Replacing a Sunnyvale fence is a chance to improve privacy without losing the character of the home. Show us the old fence, the house-facing side and any entry gate so the new boundary can be planned as one project.

Standard wood fence installation, with existing wood fence removal and hauling included.

SUNNYVALE · PROJECT PLANNING

For an Eichler home, start with the existing architecture

Sunnyvale publishes Eichler Design Guidelines that address how fences relate to the home. They describe simple wood fencing with a strong vertical or horizontal emphasis. If your property is subject to these guidelines, tell us before choosing a different style; a decorative addition may need a different review from a straightforward replacement.

Choose the appearance before the boards

Photograph the fence from the house-facing side as well as the neighboring side. Board direction, spacing and the way the top edge meets the home all affect the result. A style photo helps explain what you want, but we confirm the materials and construction rather than assuming every pictured detail fits the standard estimate.

Keep the courtyard and gate connected

If the fence encloses an entry courtyard, note which sections provide privacy and which sit beside a gate. Keeping the gate, latch access and fence alignment in the same plan avoids an awkward entrance. Share any applicable property or design requirements when we discuss the project.

Plan access for replacement

The standard fence estimate includes taking down and hauling away the old wooden fence. Photograph planting beds, paving and narrow passages beside the fence line so we can plan access. The standard material is pressure-treated wood; redwood, cedar and a different finish should be requested and priced before you approve the work.

Before you book

Can you match the appearance of the surrounding fence?

We can discuss matching the board direction and proportions. Send photos and mention the wood and finish if you know them; the final specification must be agreed.

Is redwood included in the standard estimate?

No. The standard estimate uses pressure-treated wood. Ask about redwood, cedar or another material before confirming the project.

What should I share if my home has design guidelines?

Send the relevant requirements and a photo of the house, fence and entry. Sunnyvale’s Eichler guidance applies to particular properties, not every home in the city.

Tell us what needs work.

Start with your project type, fence length or number of standard gates, and city. The tool collects your contact details so we can email the estimate and follow up to confirm the work.

The free tool is a starting estimate for standard pressure-treated wood and the listed dimensions. We confirm measurements, access and the agreed scope before work. Other woods, styles, heights and nonstandard openings need a separate quote.
