Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our fencing services in San Diego.

What type of fence is best for privacy in San Diego?
Board-on-board cedar fencing and horizontal slat designs are our most popular privacy options. Board-on-board eliminates gaps between boards, while horizontal slat fencing offers a modern look with adjustable spacing. Mangaris hardwood is another premium option that provides excellent privacy with a stunning natural appearance.
How long does a fence installation take?
Most residential fence installations take 2 to 5 days depending on the length, material, and terrain. A standard backyard fence can often be completed in 2–3 days. Projects involving slopes, custom gates, or hardwood materials may take slightly longer. We provide an estimated timeline during your consultation.
Do I need a permit for a fence in San Diego?
In San Diego, fences under 6 feet in the backyard and under 3 feet in the front yard typically do not require a permit. However, regulations vary by neighborhood and HOA community. J&M handles all permitting requirements when needed, ensuring your fence meets all local codes and HOA guidelines.
How long does a wood fence last in San Diego?
A properly installed cedar fence typically lasts 15–20 years in San Diego’s climate, while premium hardwoods like Mangaris can last 25–30+ years. Vinyl fencing offers the longest lifespan at 30+ years with virtually no maintenance. Regular sealing and staining can significantly extend the life of wood fences.
Can you install a fence on a slope or hillside?
Absolutely. We specialize in fence installations on San Diego’s varied terrain, including steep slopes and hillsides. We use stepped or racked panel techniques to follow the grade of the land, ensuring your fence looks great and provides consistent coverage regardless of the terrain.
