Professional Privacy Fence Installation in Gilroy, CA 95020 - The San Jose Fence Company

Gilroy's temperature swings can cause wooden and metal fence materials to expand and contract. For wood, we use proper gap spacing during installation to allow natural movement, and we recommend annual weatherproofing to seal out moisture. For metal fences, we ensure that posts and rails have enough play in their fittings to adjust without warping. If you already have expansion damage, our repair team can realign panels, replace warped boards, and retighten hardware. We also offer upgrade to materials like vinyl or Simtek that handle temperature changes more reliably.

Absolutely. In our 20 years serving Gilroy, we’ve found that wood offers a classic look but needs regular staining to resist sun and rain. Vinyl and aluminum are low-maintenance and durable against sun fade and moisture. Chain link is economical and great for security. Steel is very strong for automatic gates. Simtek (a composite wood alternative) resists rot and expansion. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons based on your property’s sun exposure, privacy needs, and budget – all during a free, no-obligation estimate.
