Learn MoreReach out by phone or through the contact form. We respond within 1 business day. You tell us roughly what you need - fence type, property size, any gates - and we schedule a free on-site visit at a time that works for you. No commitment required to get an estimate.
We walk your property, measure the fence line, note terrain and soil conditions, and ask the questions that actually affect your project - like whether you have an HOA or a pool. You receive a written estimate covering all costs: materials, labor, permit fees, and old fence removal if needed. No line items added later.
Once permits are approved and the schedule is set, our crew arrives and gets to work. We set posts deep in concrete, build to code, and clean up when we leave. Before we pack up, we walk the fence line with you. If anything looks off, we fix it on the spot.
California requires a valid Contractors State License Board (CSLB) license for any job over $500. We carry full general liability and workers compensation coverage on every project - so you are protected if anything goes wrong.
We visit your property, measure the fence line, and give you a written quote that covers every cost - including permit fees and old fence removal. There is no pressure and no fee. The estimate is yours to keep whether you hire us or not.
We have been doing fence work in Montclair and the Inland Empire since 2017. We know the local soil, the permit process at City Hall, and the HOA rules that trip up out-of-area contractors. That local knowledge saves you time and money.
Every post we install goes into the ground with a proper concrete footing - not packed dirt. This is the most important factor in whether your fence survives Montclair's seasonal wind events. We have never used shortcuts on post depth.

The crew finished our backyard wood fence in two days, exactly when they said they would. The posts are solid and the gate swings perfectly. After three years and two Santa Ana seasons, nothing has moved.
Marcus T., Montclair - Wood fence installation
We needed a vinyl privacy fence and had a complicated HOA approval to navigate. They handled all the paperwork, kept us updated, and the fence looks better than the samples we were shown. Really clean work.
Diana R., Upland - Vinyl fence installation
Our pool fence was old and had gaps that worried us with young kids around. They came out quickly, gave us a fair written quote, and the new aluminum fence passed the city inspection first try. Worth every penny.
Kevin A., Ontario - Pool fence installation
We respond within 1 business day - no long waits. There is no obligation to hire us after we send your estimate. After you submit, someone from the office will call to confirm a few details and schedule a free on-site visit. We measure your fence line, assess site conditions, and give you a written quote before any work begins.

Before you get quotes or pick a material, here are six things that will help you ask better questions and make a more confident decision.
In most California cities, yes - if your fence exceeds six feet in height. Front yard fences and corner lots have stricter rules. The permit process typically takes one to two weeks. Skipping it can create problems during a home sale or trigger a fine. The{" "} City of Montclair Building and Safety Division lists local fence requirements.
In Montclair, Santa Ana gusts can exceed 50 mph in strong years. Posts should be buried at least one-third their total length in concrete footings - so a six-foot fence needs posts roughly two feet deep. Posts set in packed dirt without concrete rarely survive strong wind events.
Wood offers natural warmth and lower upfront cost, but Montclair's hot, dry summers accelerate weathering. Cedar and redwood outperform pine significantly. Vinyl costs more upfront but needs no staining or sealing and holds color for 20-30 years. For most families prioritizing low maintenance, vinyl wins in this climate.
If your neighborhood has a homeowners association - and many in Montclair do - written approval is required before installation begins. HOAs commonly regulate height, materials, and finish color. Building without approval can mean being required to remove the fence at your own expense. Always check before signing a contract.
California requires any residential pool to be enclosed by a barrier at least five feet tall, with a self-closing, self-latching gate that opens away from the pool. Chain link and aluminum both meet these requirements when installed correctly. An improperly installed pool fence will not pass the city inspection. The California Department of Public Health has the full pool safety requirements.
If the posts are solid and the structural damage is limited to a few boards or a gate, repair is usually the better value. If posts are rotting at the base, leaning after wind, or more than half the fence shows damage, replacement costs less over time. A leaning fence gets worse with each season - it does not self-correct.
MC Montclair Fence Builder is a licensed and insured fence contractor company based in Montclair, CA, serving 12 cities across San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties since 2017.
We hold a valid license issued by the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) and carry general liability and workers compensation coverage on every project. California law requires a CSLB license for any contracting work valued at $500 or more.
Since 2017, we have completed fence installations, repairs, and replacements across 12 communities in the Inland Empire and San Gabriel Valley, working with homeowners, property managers, and commercial clients on projects ranging from residential wood fences to large-scale commercial security installations.
If fewer than 30% of the boards or panels are damaged and the posts are still solid, repair usually makes financial sense. When posts are rotting or the fence has leaned and recovered multiple times, replacement is the more cost-effective long-term choice.
Cities can require unpermitted fences to be torn down entirely, even years after installation. Beyond the fine, an unpermitted fence can become a deal-breaker during a home sale when an inspector flags it. The permit cost is small compared to the risk.
Most HOAs take two to four weeks to review a fence application. Some require an in-person meeting. Starting the HOA process before you even get contractor quotes is the fastest way to avoid a delay - HOA approval is often the longest step in the timeline.
If you have questions about your specific property or project, the fastest way to get answers is to call us directly at (909) 488-7004 or submit a message online and we will get back to you within 1 business day.
Montclair is a city of roughly 38,000 people in San Bernardino County, sitting at the eastern edge of the Los Angeles metro area along the 10 Freeway, bordered by Ontario to the west and Pomona to the east. Most of the housing stock consists of single-family homes built between the 1950s and 1980s - a mix of longtime residents and newer homeowners who moved inland from Los Angeles looking for more space. The City of Montclair is a stable, owner-occupied community where homeowners invest in their properties for the long term.
Well-known landmarks include Montclair Place - the large regional shopping mall on Central Avenue that most locals use as a reference point for directions - and the Montclair Metrolink Station, a daily commuter hub connecting residents to downtown Los Angeles on the San Bernardino Line. Monte Vista Avenue runs north-south through the heart of Montclair, passing through quiet residential blocks that are among the most active areas for fence work in the city.
The foothill setting at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains means Montclair soil is a mix of alluvial and clay-heavy material, both of which affect how fence posts are set and how long they stay stable. Add in the Santa Ana winds that roll through the Inland Empire every fall and the dry summers that accelerate wood weathering, and you have conditions that reward careful installation. MC Montclair Fence Builder has worked in this city and these soil conditions since 2017, and our fence crews know exactly what it takes to build fencing that holds up here.
