Professional Fence Contractor in Alameda CA - Your Yard, Done Right

Alameda is an island city in San Francisco Bay, connected to Oakland and the mainland by bridges and a tunnel. With a population of roughly 78,000 and a housing stock that is largely Victorian and Craftsman-era - many homes built between the 1880s and the 1920s - the island has a character unlike most Bay Area suburbs. You can learn more about the city at Wikipedia's Alameda, California article. The combination of salt air off the bay, dense older housing stock, and narrow lots makes fencing here more specific than it is in drier, less constrained inland cities.

Most of Alameda's residential neighborhoods are made up of homes built well before World War II - Queen Anne Victorians, Eastlake Victorians, Craftsman bungalows, and Colonial Revival houses that line streets from the Estuary to the west end near Alameda Point, the former Naval Air Station redeveloped into a mixed-use neighborhood after its closure in 1997. The island also has well-known landmarks including Crown Memorial State Beach on the south shore, the USS Hornet Sea, Air and Space Museum docked at Alameda Point, and the Park Street business district that serves as the city's main commercial center.

Lots in Alameda are relatively small, with narrow side yards and shared property lines that sit close to neighboring structures. That means property boundary questions come up often in our work - and the salt air and marine fog that roll in off the bay year-round make material selection more important here than in most inland cities. Whether your home is near the Estuary, down by Crown Beach, or out near the west end, Custom Alameda Fence has worked on fences all across the island and understands the conditions that make the difference between a fence that lasts and one that fails in a few years.
