Serving Windsor, CA and surrounding areas. (707) 687-4981
Windsor homeowners trust us for wood fences that stay straight through clay-soil winters and hot summers - with no surprise costs and permits handled for you.
Wood fence installation in Windsor, CA involves planning the fence line, digging post holes, setting posts in concrete, and attaching rails and boards - most residential jobs finish in one to three days.
If your yard needs more than just a new fence - say the existing structure has rotted posts or boards pulling away from the rails - we can handle a full privacy fence installation or assess whether a targeted repair is the smarter call. Windsor homeowners often come to us because their situation changed: a new dog, young children, or a neighbor situation where privacy suddenly matters.
The biggest variable in any wood fence installation is not the boards - it is the posts. Windsor sits on clay-heavy soil that shifts with the seasons, and posts that are not set deep enough will lean or loosen within a few years. We account for local soil conditions in every job we take on in Sonoma County.
Walk along your fence line and push gently on each post. If any wobble or lean noticeably, the foundation has been compromised. In Windsor's clay soil, this often happens after a wet winter when the ground shifts - and a leaning post will not fix itself.
Windsor's swing between wet winters and hot, dry summers is hard on wood. If you see boards bowing outward, cracking along the grain, or pulling away from the rails, the wood has been through too many wet-dry cycles. At a certain point, patching individual boards stops making financial sense.
Get close to the base of your fence posts and look for soft, dark, or spongy wood. Rot almost always starts at ground level, where moisture collects and wood stays damp longest. Once rot reaches the structural core of a post, no amount of sealant will save it.
Sonoma County sees occasional strong wind events, particularly in fall and winter. If a storm knocked sections down, cracked posts, or left rails hanging, a repair estimate may reveal that replacement is more cost-effective than patching - especially if the fence was already aging.
We install wood fences in every style Windsor homeowners ask for - from tall six-foot privacy panels that block the street view completely, to traditional picket fences that add character to a front yard without closing it off. Cedar and redwood are our most-requested species because both handle Sonoma County's wet winters without rotting quickly. For homeowners who want the look of wood at a lower upfront cost, pressure-treated pine is a solid option, though it typically needs more maintenance over time.
We also work alongside our vinyl fence installation service for homeowners who want a side-by-side comparison before deciding. Both materials work well in Windsor, and the right choice depends on your budget, maintenance preference, and what your HOA permits.

Windsor's inland valley climate runs hotter and drier than the coast but still gets 30 to 35 inches of rain most winters - and that wet-dry cycle is exactly what causes wood fences to warp, crack, and rot faster than homeowners expect. We use naturally rot-resistant species like cedar and redwood specifically because they hold up to that swing. We also apply a sealant recommendation before the first rainy season, which makes a measurable difference in how long a new fence holds its shape and color.
We serve all of Windsor and the surrounding towns. If you are in Santa Rosa or Healdsburg, we work in those areas regularly and the same local knowledge applies.
