Sacramento’s mix of historic bungalows and modern infill homes means every neighborhood has its own character—and its own zoning rules. A well-built fence protects privacy, defines property lines, and boosts curb appeal, but only if it meets local codes and budget realities. CountBricks blends on-site voice capture with real-time material databases to give homeowners and contractors the most accurate Sacramento fence estimate in minutes, not days.
Before posts ever hit the ground, CountBricks guides you through city and county rules.
• Maximum fence heights along streets and alleys
• Setback requirements near driveways for line-of-sight safety
• Approved materials in historic districts and wildfire-risk zones
• Required permits and inspection milestones
By capturing your voice notes during a walkthrough, our AI instantly matches local code data to your project profile, eliminating costly redesigns later.
Every yard has different functional and aesthetic goals. Below are the most requested Sacramento fence materials and their typical installed price ranges when estimated with CountBricks.com/services.
• Cedar: $38-$52 per linear foot installed
• Redwood: $45-$60 per linear foot installed
• Pressure-treated pine: $30-$40 per linear foot installed
Wood offers timeless appeal, but proper sealing is crucial in Sacramento’s hot summers. CountBricks includes labor for staining or painting in the first-year maintenance budget so clients see the true cost of ownership.
• Standard privacy panels: $42-$55 per linear foot installed
• Decorative lattice-top styles: $50-$65 per linear foot installed
Vinyl resists moisture and termites, key advantages near the American River corridor. Our AI flags UV-stable formulations that withstand Sacramento’s 100-degree heat waves.
• Pre-galvanized panels: $55-$75 per linear foot installed
• Custom fabricated designs: $90+ per linear foot installed
Ornamental iron pairs well with historic Midtown properties. CountBricks auto-adds powder-coating allowances, reducing post-install touch-ups.
Traditional spreadsheets hide markups and forget soft costs. CountBricks AI pulls every cost center into a single, transparent view.

A Midtown Sacramento homeowner wanted a modern cedar fence that respected the neighborhood’s historic vibe. The lot sloped 18 inches from front to back—enough to complicate standard panel installation.
• Voice Takeoff: The contractor used the CountBricks mobile app to narrate slope changes and tree locations. AI built a 3D terrain model in under five minutes.
• Smart Material Selection: Real-time cedar pricing showed a 7% spike. CountBricks recommended alternate plank widths to keep the project on budget without sacrificing aesthetics.
• Permit-Ready Docs: Our software generated elevation drawings annotated with Sacramento Planning Department code references, saving two weeks of back-and-forth.
• Live Change Orders: Mid-build, the client requested an additional pedestrian gate. CountBricks updated labor hours and hardware costs instantly, keeping the crew on schedule.
• 11% total savings compared to the initial manual quote
• Project completed three days ahead of the neighborhood’s garden tour
• Homeowner received a maintenance calendar outlining staining intervals and costs for the next decade
• Schedule post digging before peak summer—soil moisture makes excavation easier and reduces concrete cracking.
• Opt for metal post brackets with wood fences; CountBricks data shows 25% longer lifespan in areas with lawn irrigation.
• Use darker stain tones on west-facing fences to minimize UV bleaching during Sacramento’s intense sunsets.
