Whittier's mix of flat neighborhood streets and steep hillside parcels means fence challenges that shift lot by lot. From the older single-family stock near Pico Boulevard to the slope-heavy properties above town, we've installed and repaired fences across ZIP 90602 since 2013, and we know what works on your terrain.

Homeowners in Whittier call Los Angeles Fence Company because we show up with the right crew for your soil, your slope, and your deed restrictions. Whether you need a privacy fence on decomposed granite footing, a gate repair before winter winds hit, or a full replacement after storm damage, we handle the detail work that keeps a fence standing through the dry summers and saturated winters that define this area.

Fencing in Whittier, Los Angeles

Whittier's terrain splits the work we do. Below town, on the flat lots along established streets, we set posts in concrete on firm ground and work fast. Above town, where hillside parcels sit on decomposed granite, we drill footings rather than dig them, and we rack or step the fence line to match the slope. The same swing between dry and wet that moves the soil also works posts loose over time, so post replacement and repair is steady work here.

We've served Whittier and the surrounding Los Angeles area since 2013. Our team installs wood and vinyl privacy fences, chain link, aluminum and ornamental iron, gates, and automatic driveway gates. We repair storm damage, replace failing posts, restore stained wood, and handle commercial and farm fencing. We're fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation, and we're members of the American Fence Association.

How a Job Works in Whittier

You call us at (323) 859-1615 or reach out online. We schedule a free on-site visit to see your fence line, your lot slope, your soil, and any obstacles like power lines or tight access. We talk through what you want, what the Whittier building department or your HOA requires, and what the terrain demands. We give you an honest estimate with no surprises.

Once you say yes, we handle the work. If you have an older survey, we work from that. If not, you identify the line where you want the fence. We call 811 for utility locates before we dig any post holes. We set footings on firm ground or drill them into decomposed granite, depending on what we find. We install posts, rails, pickets or panels, gates, and hardware to spec. If it's a repair, we replace what's failed and leave the sound work standing.

When we're done, we haul debris, sweep up, and walk the fence line with you. You get a clean property and a fence built right for Whittier's soil and weather.

A wood privacy fence in Whittier typically runs from $34 per linear foot for pressure-treated pine to more for cedar. Vinyl runs from $46 per foot. Chain link starts at $22 per foot. Aluminum and ornamental iron, popular on hillside lots where aesthetics matter, start at $52 per foot. A fence repair for a leaning post or broken rail starts at $525. A full post replacement runs from $525 up, depending on footing depth and soil type. A gate installation or repair starts at $560. Storm damage assessment is free. Automatic driveway gates start at $3,400. The main factors that move price are the linear footage, the terrain (flat versus slope, firm soil versus decomposed granite), the material you choose, and whether we're repairing or replacing. Call us at (323) 859-1615 for a free estimate on your Whittier property.

Why do fence posts get loose or lean in Whittier?

Whittier's wet winters soak the soil and loosen posts set in tamped earth. The dry summers shrink the soil back, opening gaps. Over years, a post works itself loose. Posts set in concrete hold longer, but even concrete can crack and shift on hillside lots where the soil moves. We inspect posts every few years and replace the ones that are going. Catching a leaning post early costs a $525 repair. Waiting until it falls costs a replacement.

What happens to a fence after a winter storm in Whittier?

Winter winds push on fence panels like a sail. A fence with weak posts, rotted rails, or loose fasteners will lean, rack, or come down. We do free wind damage assessments and document what failed so you can file an insurance claim if you choose. We repair or replace the damaged sections and strengthen the fence against the next storm. Call (323) 859-1615 right after a storm to get on our schedule.

Should I use wood or vinyl on a Whittier hillside lot?

Both work. Wood is cheaper upfront and looks warm. Pressure-treated pine lasts 15 to 20 years in this climate if you maintain it. Cedar lasts longer and looks better as it grays, but costs more. Vinyl doesn't rot and doesn't need stain, but it's pricier and less common on hillside lots where ornamental iron or aluminum often fits the neighborhood character better. We'll walk through the trade-offs on your site.

Do I need a permit to install a fence in Whittier?

Whittier and Los Angeles County have setback and height rules that vary by zone. Some neighborhoods and HOAs have strict architectural standards. We coordinate with the Whittier building department and any HOA you're part of to confirm the rules before we start. A permit may or may not be required depending on your lot and material. We'll tell you what applies to your fence.

My neighbor's fence is leaning into my yard. What do I do?

That's a boundary line issue and a structural one. If the fence is on your neighbor's property but leaning your way, the responsibility is theirs. If it's on the property line, you may both own it, depending on local custom and your deed. We can't determine the property line, but we can tell you the fence is failing and needs repair or replacement. Have a conversation with your neighbor. If you both agree to split the cost, we can handle the work. If you need a boundary determined, a licensed land surveyor can do that.

Are your crews fully insured?

Yes. We carry general liability and workers' compensation insurance. We can provide a certificate of insurance on request. California requires a C-13 Fencing Contractor license for fence work once a project reaches $1,000 in combined labor and materials or requires a permit. That licensing requirement is set by state law and enforced by the Contractors State License Board.

When is the best time to install a fence in Whittier?

Late spring through early fall is our main window. The ground is drier, we can dig and set concrete faster, and we're not racing between winter storms. Winter is when repair calls spike because fences fail in the rain and wind. We work year-round between storms, but if you're planning a new fence, plan for spring or summer. Call (323) 859-1615 to schedule.
