At DJ Fence Service, we come to your property, measure the job, give you a written estimate, and get to work. No surprises.

Why Custom Fence Installation Matters for Vancouver WA Properties

A custom fence does more than mark a property line. It works for your yard. Vancouver, WA properties vary widely — smaller lots near Hazel Dell, larger parcels out toward Salmon Creek, corner lots with clear-sight rules, and everything in between. A stock fence panel that fits one yard may not work at all for the next. That is why custom fence installation Vancouver WA projects require someone who shows up, looks at the ground, checks the grade, and builds the fence to fit that specific property. That is exactly how we work.

Materials We Install: Wood, Vinyl, Chain Link, and More

We install a full range of fencing materials so you can choose what fits your property and your budget.


  • #1 cedar privacy boards for wood privacy fences, solid and straight.
  • Vinyl fencing in privacy and picket styles, which holds up to Pacific Northwest rain without warping or painting.
  • Chain link, including both galvanized and coated options, for yards, kennels, and light commercial areas.
  • Ornamental iron for a clean, finished look at driveways and front yards.
  • Split rail, field fence, and barb wire for rural and agricultural properties.
  • Single and double drive gates in wood, chain link, or ornamental steel.


We use #1 cedar boards on every wood installation — not lower-grade lumber — because the material matters as much as the labor.

How the Custom Installation Process Works

Plenty of contractors say they build fences. Getting it done right from post to top rail is a different thing entirely. Here is what our process looks like from start to finish.


  1. You call or contact us to request a free estimate.
  2. One of our owners comes to your property and measures the project in person.
  3. We give you a written, upfront estimate with no hidden costs.
  4. Once you approve, we schedule the installation and show up in a marked DJ Fence Service truck, on time.
  5. We set posts correctly for your soil conditions, install fence boards or panels, hang gates, and clean up the site completely when we are done.
  6. We guarantee our work.


That last point matters. We stand behind what we build.
