Kirk responded right away and emailed the estimate the same night. They finished on schedule and budget with stellar work — 3.1 acres with heavy brush. So happy I took my chances with KAL.

Nevada City Fence Company | KAL Fencing

KAL Fencing is a locally owned and operated fence contractor serving Nevada City, Nevada County, and nearby foothill communities. With more than 20 years in the fencing industry, KAL Fencing works with homeowners, businesses, and rural property owners on fence installation, replacement, repair, and related services.

Every property brings its own considerations to a fencing project. The shape of the lot, terrain, vegetation, existing structures, property boundaries, access, gates, and intended purpose of the fence can all affect the installation. KAL Fencing evaluates those conditions before beginning work so the finished fence is designed around the property rather than treated as a one-size-fits-all project.

KAL Fencing is based in Auburn and serves customers throughout Nevada County and surrounding foothill communities. The company also serves Placer County communities including Auburn, Rocklin, Loomis, Meadow Vista, Newcastle, Colfax, Granite Bay, and nearby areas.

Meet Kirk Lovejoy

KAL Fencing is owned and led by Kirk Lovejoy, who has more than two decades of experience in the fencing business. His experience includes residential and commercial installations, rural fencing, property boundaries, replacement projects, and fencing jobs involving different materials and challenging site conditions.

Fencing in the foothill region can involve more than simply setting posts in a straight line. Properties may have slopes, mature trees, heavy brush, existing fences, utility lines, limited equipment access, or large areas that need to be enclosed. KAL considers these conditions when determining how the work should be approached.

KAL Fencing is a California licensed contractor, License #614212, and provides licensed, insured, and bonded fencing services. Free estimates are available for new installations, repairs, replacements, and other fencing projects.

Residential & Commercial Fence Installation

The purpose of a fence can differ significantly between properties. A homeowner might need privacy around a backyard, while another customer may want to keep dogs contained or establish a clear boundary. Rural properties can require fencing for horses or other animals, while commercial properties may need a durable perimeter.

KAL Fencing provides:

  • Ranch fencing
  • Wire fencing
  • Wood fencing
  • Iron fencing
  • Chain link fencing
  • Dog runs
  • Post-hole digging

The materials and construction methods are selected according to the project. Fence alignment, post placement, spacing, soil, terrain, gates, access, and existing improvements can all influence the finished installation.

For customers looking for fence installation in Nevada City, CA, KAL Fencing offers more than 20 years of industry experience and a history of working on properties throughout the surrounding foothill region.

Wood Fencing & Privacy Fences

Wood remains a popular fencing material for homeowners who want privacy, separation, containment, or a traditional appearance. KAL Fencing installs wood fences for residential properties and handles both new construction and replacement work.

The design can be adapted to the property and the homeowner’s objectives. Fence height, privacy requirements, gate placement, available space, and the appearance of the finished enclosure can all be considered during the planning process.

KAL also works on replacement projects when an existing fence has become worn, damaged, unstable, or difficult to maintain. In some situations, replacing the entire fence can make more sense than continuing to repair individual sections.

One customer who had previously hired KAL returned in January 2026 to have a yard fence replaced. The customer said the new installation improved the appearance and functionality of the backyard and specifically praised the crew’s professionalism, efficiency, knowledge, courtesy, and cleanup.

KAL has also completed a shared-fence installation using metal posts and redwood boards. The customer requested a modular design that would make it easier to replace individual components if they became damaged later.

KAL has also completed fencing work in Nevada City, including a project involving close to 1,000 linear feet of wood fencing. A customer review described Kirk arriving as scheduled to measure the property and prepare an estimate.

For wood fence installation in Nevada City, CA, KAL Fencing can evaluate the property and develop an approach based on its specific requirements.

Ranch, Wire & Chain Link Fencing

A solid privacy fence is not necessary for every application. Ranch, wire, and chain link fencing can provide boundaries and animal containment while allowing visibility through the enclosure.

KAL Fencing installs ranch, wire, and chain link fencing for residential, rural, and commercial applications. Previous projects have included horse fencing, extended fence runs, and properties where vegetation, terrain, existing improvements, or access created additional challenges.

One customer described a project involving approximately 600 feet of horse fencing. Another hired KAL to remove approximately 100 feet of old wooden fencing and install a replacement, noting the straightness of the completed fence and the use of metal posts.

For larger Nevada City and Nevada County properties, the intended use of the land can have a significant impact on the appropriate fence design. Animal containment, property boundaries, terrain, vegetation, and access are all considerations that may need to be addressed.

Iron Fencing, Dog Runs & Post-Hole Digging

KAL Fencing also provides iron fencing, dog runs, and post-hole digging.

A dog run can provide a secure, dedicated area for pets without requiring the entire property to be enclosed with the same type of fencing. Post-hole digging is available for customers who need holes prepared for fence posts or other post-supported projects.

The amount and difficulty of post-hole work can depend on the soil, access, number of posts, location of the holes, and the type of project being completed.

Fence Repair & Replacement

Not every damaged fence requires complete replacement. When the problem is limited to a particular section, repairing that portion may be appropriate. When an older fence has widespread deterioration or structural problems, a new installation may be the more practical choice.

KAL Fencing handles both repair and replacement projects. Work can include rebuilding damaged sections, replacing aging portions, removing existing fencing, and installing new fence lines.

KAL has also completed repairs and replacement work following severe wind damage. One customer had a section of fencing blown over during major storms. KAL addressed the fence line and utility considerations during the project, and the finished work resulted in additional usable backyard space along with an improved appearance.

For fence repair in Nevada City, CA, examining the condition of the existing fence can help determine whether repairing specific areas or replacing the enclosure is the better solution.

KAL Fencing Project Experience

KAL’s project history includes fencing jobs ranging from residential yards to large rural properties.

One customer described work on a 3.1-acre property with heavy brush and trees. According to the customer, KAL completed the project on schedule and within budget despite the difficult site conditions.

Another project involved approximately 600 feet of horse fencing, requiring a substantial fence installation across a larger property.

KAL has also completed a project involving approximately 100 feet of existing wood fencing. The old fence was removed and replaced in approximately six hours. The customer praised the straightness of the finished fence and noted that KAL also removed an old wire fence and drilled holes for additional decorative fencing.

In addition, KAL has completed a substantial wood fencing project in Nevada City involving close to 1,000 linear feet of fencing, providing direct project experience in the community.

These projects demonstrate why site evaluation matters. Trees, brush, slopes, utilities, existing fencing, property boundaries, access, and material selection can all influence the amount and type of work required.
