Fence Installation & Repair services in Cupertino
In Cupertino the fence often gets replaced because the house did. Small postwar homes in areas like Rancho Rinconada are steadily being rebuilt as larger two-story houses, and the old leaning boundary fence does not survive the construction. That means a new fence between one new house and one old one, and a conversation with a neighbor about cost and height. Cupertino asks for the neighbor's written approval once a fence goes above 7 feet. We help by writing the scope so both owners can read it. Elsewhere the Eichler streets of Fairgrove have their own look, and owners there usually want plain horizontal or vertical boards that match it. West of Foothill Boulevard the lots climb, deer show up, and open metal or mesh fence replaces solid board.

Permits and local rules
Cupertino's fence ordinance is Municipal Code section 19.48.030. In residential zones the Planning Division allows a 3-foot fence in the front yard and up to 8 feet along side and rear lines. Up to 7 feet needs no building permit and no neighbor sign-off. Between 7 and 8 feet needs the city's neighbor approval form and a building permit. Hillside zones have separate rules meant to protect wildlife, driveway gates are normally set back 30 feet, and anything outside the ordinance needs a fence exception with a public hearing.
