A good fence does more than mark a property line. It gives your family privacy, keeps pets and kids safe, and frames the yard you've worked hard on. A bad one leans, gaps, and rots within a few seasons — usually because whoever built it cut corners on the footings.
Garcia Bros installs and repairs fences across Carmel, Monterey, and the wider Central Coast. Brothers Armando and Jesus handle every job personally, and we build fences the way they're supposed to be built: posts set deep and solid, lumber chosen for our coastal climate, and clean lines that make your whole property look finished.
New Fence Installation
Whether you want a classic wood privacy fence, a decorative front-yard fence, or something custom, we'll help you choose the right material and style for your home and budget. We set every post properly so your fence stands straight for years — not just until the first wet winter.
Fence Repair and Replacement
If your old fence is leaning, graying, or falling over in spots, you don't always need a full teardown. We'll take an honest look and tell you whether a repair will hold or whether a rebuild is the smarter investment. Either way, you get a straight answer, not an upsell.
We Handle the Details Most Homeowners Dread

As your licensed contractor (CSLB #1145651), we walk you through California's fence rules so you stay on the right side of them and the right side of your neighbors. You work directly with the owners, you see a clear plan before we start, and we leave your property spotless.
Building a fence and a deck at the same time? Many homeowners pair the two — ask us about deck building when we walk your property. Serving homeowners in Carmel and Monterey and across the Central Coast.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does fence installation cost?
Fence cost depends on length, material, and height, but we give you a clear, itemized quote before any work starts. Wood is the most budget-friendly option for most homeowners; custom and decorative styles cost more. We'll price your exact project so there are no surprises.
What type of fence lasts the longest?
Vinyl and quality hardwood fences tend to last the longest, but proper installation matters more than material alone. A cheaper fence set on deep, solid posts will outlast an expensive one that was rushed. We build every fence on a foundation that holds up to Central Coast weather.
What is the fence law in California — who pays, and which side faces the neighbor?
In California, neighbors generally share the cost and responsibility of a fence on a shared property line, and the "good" (finished) side traditionally faces outward toward the neighbor. The rules can get nuanced, so we walk you through them before we build to keep things neighborly.
Do I need a permit to build a fence?
Many California cities require a permit for fences above a certain height, often six feet. As your licensed contractor, we check your local requirements and handle the permit questions so your fence is built to code and won't have to come down later.
Do I have to give my neighbor the finished side of the fence?
Traditionally, yes — the smooth, finished side of a fence faces outward toward your neighbor or the street, with the posts and rails on your side. It's both common courtesy and expected in many California neighborhoods. We can also build "good neighbor" fences that look finished on both sides.
Do you repair or rebuild an old, leaning fence?
Both. We'll give you an honest assessment of whether your fence can be repaired or whether a rebuild is the better value. If a few posts or panels will fix it, that's what we'll recommend — we won't push a full replacement you don't need.
