A new fence does more than frame your yard—it protects privacy, adds curb appeal, and increases property value. When Bay Area homeowners search “san jose fence,” they want clarity on price, timeline, and compliance. CountBricks combines local construction insight with real-time AI estimating to deliver exactly that. Below, our residential construction team breaks down everything you need to know before you set the first post.
• Instant voice-driven estimates generated while you talk to our project consultant

Santa Clara County’s micro-climates, soil profiles, and neighborhood regulations all impact your fence budget. Typical six-foot redwood privacy fences around San Jose currently range from $42 to $58 per linear foot installed. Corner lots, slope adjustments, and decorative toppers can add 10 – 25 %. CountBricks’ AI engine factors these variables automatically, producing a line-item estimate you can approve on your phone in minutes.
Before breaking ground, you will need:
• A site plan showing property lines
• A permit if the fence exceeds 7’ or fronts a public street
• HOA approval where applicable
Our platform auto-generates these documents and submits them electronically, saving days of paperwork.
