Frequently asked Questions
What types of fencing does Reliable Fence install?
We install vinyl, wood, and chain link fencing, along with gates of all types. We work on both residential and commercial properties throughout Riverside, California.
How long has Reliable Fence been in business?
We have been operating for over 27 years. Adan founded the business and continues to lead every project, bringing decades of hands-on fencing experience to each job.
Do you handle fence repairs, or only new installations?
We handle both. Our team assesses existing fences and repairs what's actually failing, whether that's a post, a rail, a board, or hardware. We don't push replacements when a repair will do the job.
How deep do you set fence posts?
Post depth depends on fence height, material, and soil conditions. In Riverside's clay-heavy ground, we typically go deeper than standard specs to prevent leaning over time.
Can you match a new fence section to my existing fence?
In most cases, yes. We assess the existing material and style before starting any repair or addition so the new section blends in rather than standing out.
Do you install gates separately from fences?
Yes. We install gates as standalone projects if you already have a fence in place. We work with wood, vinyl, chain link, and metal gate options depending on what you need.
What is the most low-maintenance fencing option?
Vinyl is generally the lowest maintenance option we install. It doesn't need painting, won't rot or splinter, and holds its color well in the Riverside heat.
Does Reliable Fence work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work on commercial lots, perimeter enclosures, multi-unit properties, and other commercial applications throughout Riverside, California, not just residential yards.
How long does a fence installation typically take?
Most residential installations are completed in one to two days depending on the length and material. Larger commercial jobs take longer, and we give realistic timelines before work begins.
Is chain link fencing a good option for residential properties?
It is, depending on the goal. Chain link is a solid choice when security or pet containment matters more than privacy. We offer vinyl-coated options that look cleaner in residential settings.
What wood species do you use for wood fence installations?
We work with cedar, redwood, and pressure-treated pine. The right choice depends on the application, how much sun exposure the fence gets, and what fits the budget.
Will my fence hold up through Riverside summers?
Yes, when it's installed correctly. We factor in UV exposure and heat expansion when selecting materials and setting posts. Vinyl and treated wood both perform well in the Riverside climate when installed properly.
How do I know if my fence needs a repair or a full replacement?
We assess this at the start of every repair inquiry. If the posts and structure are solid, we repair. If the foundation is compromised, we'll explain why replacement makes more sense and walk you through the options.
Does Reliable Fence offer free estimates?
Yes. Contact us and we'll set up a time to look at the project and give you a clear estimate before any work begins.
Can you install a fence on uneven or sloped ground?
Yes. We handle sloped terrain using racked or stepped panel methods depending on the fence style and grade of the land.
