Fences in Temescal, Oakland

Bungalows, duplexes and tight side yards. Fence installation, gates and repair for Temescal homes and buildings.

What fence work is typical in Temescal?

Temescal, around Telegraph Avenue in North Oakland, mixes bungalows, duplexes and small apartment buildings. Side yards are tight, so side gates and narrow privacy runs are common, along with backyard fences replaced after decades of use.

How do you build in a tight side yard?

Carefully. With little room between houses, we plan where materials come through, hand-dig post holes near foundations and utility lines, and pick a gate that swings without hitting meters or downspouts. Every job gets a USA North 811 ticket first; see calling 811.

Is there a rule for a duplex or small building?

The same city height rules apply to residential front yards. If the property is in a commercial zone, its limits are different, so we check the zoning first.
