Fencing

Privacy, Security, and Style

Professional Fence Installation in Southern Oregon

A well-built fence does more than mark your property line. It provides privacy for your family, security for your children and pets, protection from wind and noise, and a finished look that enhances your home's curb appeal and property value. At Kammerzell Contracting, we build fences that deliver on all of these fronts -- beautiful, durable, and built with the same quality craftsmanship that defines everything we do. From simple backyard privacy fences to elaborate custom designs with decorative elements and handcrafted gates, our fencing services are available throughout Medford, Eagle Point, Ashland, Central Point, Jacksonville, and all of Southern Oregon.

We specialize in wood fencing, offering a range of species and styles to suit every taste and budget. Western red cedar is our most popular recommendation for Southern Oregon homeowners. Its natural oils resist rot, decay, and insect damage, making it exceptionally durable in our region's climate. Cedar also takes stain beautifully and weathers gracefully if left natural, developing a distinguished silver-gray patina over time. For homeowners seeking the richest tones, redwood offers a warm, reddish-brown hue and outstanding natural durability. Pressure-treated pine provides a solid, affordable alternative that performs well when properly sealed and maintained.

Our fence designs range from classic to contemporary. Privacy fences with solid board-on-board or tongue-and-groove construction create a complete visual barrier that shields your backyard from neighbors and street traffic. Semi-private designs like shadowbox and lattice-top fences provide a lighter, more open feel while still offering significant screening. Picket fences add traditional charm to front yards and garden borders. Horizontal board fences deliver a modern, architectural look that's increasingly popular with Southern Oregon homeowners. And for properties that need something truly unique, we design and build custom fence patterns that become a distinctive feature of your home.

Custom gates are a specialty of ours. Whether you need a simple garden gate, a wide double-swing gate for vehicle access, a sliding gate for a driveway, or a decorative entry gate that makes a statement, we build gates that operate smoothly, latch securely, and look stunning. We use heavy-duty hinges, adjustable hardware, and proper framing techniques that prevent the sagging and sticking that plague poorly built gates. Every gate is built to match the style of your fence and function flawlessly for years.

Beyond new installations, we provide comprehensive fence repair services. Southern Oregon's occasional heavy winds, falling branches, and the natural aging of wood can take a toll on fences over time. We repair storm damage, replace rotted posts and boards, straighten leaning sections, rehang gates, and restore fences that have seen better days. Sometimes a well-targeted repair can add years of life to an existing fence at a fraction of replacement cost. Steve assesses the overall condition of your fence honestly and recommends the approach that makes the most sense for your situation. Whether we are building new or restoring old, every fence project receives the same attention to detail, quality materials, and professional craftsmanship that Kammerzell Contracting is known for across Southern Oregon.

Our Process

01

Property Survey & Design

We walk your property line, identify boundaries, note terrain features, and discuss your goals for the fence -- privacy, security, aesthetics, pet containment, or all of the above. We design a layout that addresses every need and looks great from both sides.

02

Material Selection

We present wood species options, fence styles, stain colors, and hardware choices. You can see and feel material samples to make confident decisions. We provide a detailed estimate that covers every aspect of the project.

03

Utility Locating

Before any digging begins, we contact Oregon 811 to mark all underground utilities -- gas, water, electric, cable, and sewer lines. This critical safety step prevents costly and dangerous utility strikes during post hole digging.

04

Post Setting

We dig post holes to the proper depth for your soil conditions and fence height, set posts plumb and level, and fill with concrete for a rock-solid foundation. Posts are the backbone of your fence, and we never cut corners here.

05

Panel & Board Installation

Once the concrete has cured, we install horizontal rails and then attach fence boards, panels, or pickets to create your chosen fence style. Every board is aligned, every gap is consistent, and every fastener is properly driven.

06

Gates & Hardware

Custom gates are built and hung with heavy-duty hinges and latches. We ensure smooth operation, proper clearance, and secure closure. Gate frames are reinforced to prevent sagging over time.

07

Finishing & Cleanup

If you've chosen staining or sealing, we apply your selected finish to protect and beautify the wood. We clean up all construction debris, excess materials, and disturbed soil, leaving your property looking better than we found it.

Why Choose Kammerzell for Your Fence

Contractor-Grade Quality

Unlike fence-only companies, we are full-service general contractors. We bring the same structural knowledge, material standards, and craftsmanship to fencing that we apply to custom homes and major remodels.

Proper Post Setting

Posts are set deep, plumb, and in concrete. We don't take shortcuts with the foundation of your fence. Properly set posts are the single most important factor in a fence that stands straight for decades.

Custom Gate Expertise

Our gates don't sag, drag, or stick. We use steel-reinforced frames, adjustable hinges, and proven construction techniques to build gates that operate smoothly for years.

Neighbor-Friendly Approach

We build fences that look great from both sides whenever possible. We also advise on local setback requirements and neighbor notification to keep your project smooth and dispute-free.
