How Long Does It Take to Install a Fence in Roseville, CA? (From paperwork to payment)

When you’re ready to upgrade your property with a new fence, one of the first questions homeowners ask is, “How long will the whole process take?”

At Fence Lifts, we know you want your yard secure, private, and looking great—without unnecessary delays. Below, we walk you through the entire timeline, from paperwork to payment, so you’ll know exactly what to expect.

1️⃣ Paperwork & Permits (Usually Not Required for Most Homes)

In Roseville, most homeowners do not need a permit for standard residential fences—especially when replacing an existing fence at normal height.

However, permits may be required if:

• The fence faces a public street or sidewalk,

• It’s on a corner lot, or

• It exceeds 6 feet in height.

When special approval is needed, Fence Lifts handles it for you—from site measurements and property-line verification to permit submission with the City of Roseville Building Division.

For quick reference:

• 👉 Roseville Building Permits & Development Services

• 👉 Roseville Online Permit Center (OPS Portal)

• 👉 Residential Fence Rules (PDF)

• 👉 Roseville Municipal Code — Fence & Wall Rules

For the vast majority of projects, the “paperwork” is just your signed estimate and approval—meaning we can usually start within a few days.

2️⃣ Materials & Scheduling (3–7 Days)

Once your quote is approved, we order materials and lock your install date.

• Wood: 3–5 days

• Vinyl / Wrought Iron: 5–7 days

• Steel Posts: Usually in stock for faster turnaround

As soon as supplies arrive, we fit you into our schedule—often the same week.

3️⃣ Installation Day (1–3 Days)

Here’s where your yard gets its facelift:

• Standard backyard (60–100 ft): 1–2 days

• Large lots or custom designs: 2–3 days

We start with posts (the fence’s backbone), then install panels and gates, inspect every detail, and clean up before we leave.

4️⃣ Steel Posts for Longevity

At Fence Lifts, we offer free steel-post upgrades (limited time) because they’re the strongest long-term investment.

Unlike wood posts that rot or warp, steel posts last for a lifetime

—with less movement during Roseville’s hot summers and rainy winters.

They also make future repairs faster and cheaper, since you can replace only panels instead of full sections.

5️⃣ Final Walkthrough & Payment (Same Day)

After installation, we:

• Walk the fence with you,

• Check gate swing & alignment,

• Confirm you’re 100% happy.

Then you can pay by card, check, or cash—and we email a digital receipt for your records.
