Serving Hanford, CA and surrounding areas. (559) 794-9939
Total Hanford Fence is a fence contractor serving Selma, CA, installing wood, vinyl, chain link, ornamental iron, and automatic gates for homeowners throughout Fresno County.
We set posts in concrete for Selma's expansive clay soils, handle all City of Selma permit filings, and respond to estimate requests within 1 business day.
Selma's ranch-style homes often have wide side-yard openings or driveway entries that owners want to control with an automatic gate. We install sliding and swing gate operators for both new fence projects and existing entries, handling the post work, operator mounting, and power connection in a single visit. See our automatic gate installation page for operator types, access control options, and pricing guidance.
Wood fencing is the most common request in Selma's established neighborhoods, where ranch homes on standard lots need a solid backyard boundary. We use cedar and redwood - the species that hold up best in this climate - and set every post in concrete to resist the seasonal soil movement that causes cheaper installations to lean.
Vinyl is popular in Selma's newer subdivisions on the north and east sides of town because it does not crack, warp, or need repainting in the intense Central Valley heat. For homeowners who want a clean, low-maintenance fence that survives Selma summers without annual upkeep, vinyl is a strong option.
Full-height privacy fencing is a common request from Selma homeowners near Highway 99 or on busy neighborhood streets, where road noise and traffic visibility are real concerns. A solid fence creates an enclosed outdoor space and gives your backyard genuine separation from the surrounding activity.
Selma's combination of hot, dry summers and clay soil movement takes a steady toll on existing fences. If you have leaning posts, split boards, rust-through on chain link, or rotted wood at the base, we can often repair the damaged sections rather than replacing the entire fence.
Older Selma homes near the historic downtown district sometimes have ornamental iron fencing that fits the character of the neighborhood. We install new ornamental iron and can fabricate custom designs for front entries, pool enclosures, and property perimeters where a decorative look matters.
Selma sits about 15 miles south of Fresno along Highway 99, in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley. Summers here regularly push past 100 degrees - sometimes reaching 105 or higher - and that sustained heat is hard on every fence material in ways that are easy to underestimate. Wood dries and cracks faster than in coastal climates. Vinyl needs the right expansion gaps at installation or it can buckle in the peak heat. Metal fasteners and hardware corrode faster in the dry, dusty air. A contractor who only works in milder parts of California will install a fence the same way everywhere. That is how you end up replacing a fence in eight years instead of twenty.
The soil adds another layer of complexity. Selma, like most of the San Joaquin Valley, sits on clay-heavy ground that swells in the wet winter and shrinks back down every dry summer. That movement is relentless and it never stops - it is the primary reason fence posts lean and fence lines drift out of alignment over time. Selma also has a diverse housing stock. The older neighborhoods near downtown have ranch homes built in the 1950s and 1960s, some with concrete block walls and original iron gates that need repair or replacement. The newer subdivisions on the north and east sides of town were built from the 1990s forward, with more uniform setback rules and more predictable lot boundaries. Knowing which type of property you are working on changes the job considerably.
Our crew works throughout Selma regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect fence contractor work here. Selma is a compact city of about 24,000 people where Highway 99 runs straight through the middle of town - most residents use it daily to reach Fresno or head south toward Visalia. The City of Selma describes itself as the Raisin Capital of the World, and the grape-growing farmland that defines the area comes right up to the city limits. Many residential lots on the east edge of town border orchards or vineyard rows, which affects fence height and material choices for those properties.
The older neighborhoods near downtown Selma's historic corridor along High Street have a noticeably different character from the newer developments on the north and east sides of town. Homes near downtown are older, often with decorative concrete block walls and iron entry gates that need professional attention when they reach the end of their life. Newer subdivisions have more standardized fencing and are more likely to have HOA rules governing fence style and height.
We also serve homeowners in nearby communities. If you are in Sanger, about 16 miles to the northeast, we cover fence and gate projects there as part of our regular Fresno County schedule. Homeowners in Kingsburg, just 8 miles south along Highway 99, are also within our regular service area.
We respond within 1 business day to schedule a free on-site visit. The walkthrough takes about 20 to 30 minutes and does not commit you to anything.
We measure the fence line, check soil and grade conditions, confirm HOA or city setback rules, and review permit requirements before putting a written number in your hands. No verbal estimates.
If your project requires a City of Selma building permit, we apply on your behalf before scheduling installation. This protects you at resale and ensures the work meets city inspection standards.
We install, hang gates, and walk the completed fence with you before leaving. All debris and removed fence material are hauled away, and you receive care and maintenance instructions for your new fence.
We serve Selma and Fresno County - no travel fees, written quotes before any work begins, and a crew that knows local soil and permit conditions.
(559) 794-9939Selma is a city of about 24,000 people in Fresno County, positioned along Highway 99 between Fresno to the north and Kingsburg to the south. The city calls itself the Raisin Capital of the World, a nod to the grape-growing farmland that surrounds it on all sides. Most of Selma's residential neighborhoods consist of single-story ranch homes on modest lots, with a mix of older stucco and wood-sided homes near the historic downtown area and newer subdivisions with larger floor plans on the city's outskirts. The older blocks near High Street have a distinct character - wider lots, mature trees, and homes that date back to the 1920s through the 1960s sitting alongside small commercial buildings.
The city sits roughly 15 miles south of downtown Fresno, and many residents commute north for work or shopping. The annual Raisin Festival is a well-known community event that brings Selma residents together each spring. Neighboring communities include Fresno to the north and Kingsburg to the south - both are within a short drive on Highway 99. For more on the city, see the Selma, California Wikipedia article.
