Learn MoreYou reach out by phone or contact form. We respond within 1 business day to schedule a free on-site estimate. We come to your property, measure the fence line, and ask about your goals - height, material, gates, and any HOA requirements - so the quote covers everything upfront.
Once you approve the estimate and sign a contract, we submit the permit application to Cathedral City's Building and Safety Division on your behalf. We review HOA guidelines if your neighborhood requires approval. You do not need to visit any city office or deal with paperwork - we handle all of it.
Our crew arrives on the scheduled day, sets posts in concrete, and installs the fence to plan. We call 811 before digging to mark utilities. Once complete, the city inspector signs off on the work. We do a final walkthrough with you before we leave so you can see exactly what was done and ask any questions.
We hold a valid California contractor's license, verifiable on the CSLB website. Every job is covered by liability insurance, so you are not on the hook if anything goes wrong on your property.
We come to your property, measure the fence line, and give you a written quote that covers materials, labor, permits, and gates. No pressure to sign, and no surprise line items on the final invoice.
We have been working in Cathedral City and the Coachella Valley since 2016. We know the permit office, the HOA rules in the planned communities, the soil conditions, and how wind events damage fences here.
Every post goes in deeper than minimum code because Coachella Valley wind events are real. We have seen what happens to fences with shallow footings after a spring windstorm, and we build to avoid that.

“They finished the wood fence in two days, just like they said they would. Posts are solid - I pushed on them after a windstorm last spring and nothing moved. We had HOA approval before they even started, which made the whole thing much smoother.”
Maria R., Cathedral City - Wood fence installation
“I needed a pool fence that would pass city inspection and not look like an afterthought. The aluminum fence they installed looks sharp and the inspector approved it first visit. They handled the permit completely on their own, which was the main thing I was worried about.”
James K., Palm Desert - Pool fence installation
“A section of our chain link fence blew down in a windstorm and they came out for a quote within a day. The repair was done by end of the week and the price matched what they quoted. No surprises. Our dog has not found a way out since.”
Sandra T., Palm Springs - Fence repair
We respond to every request within 1 business day. There is no obligation to hire us after the estimate - we come out, measure your property, and give you a written quote at no cost. After you submit the form, someone from our office will call you to schedule a free on-site visit.

We cover the entire valley and can typically schedule a same-week estimate for most service areas.
Wood needs UV-resistant sealant every two to three years in Cathedral City's climate or it dries out and cracks within a decade. A vinyl fence installation with UV inhibitors in the material holds its shape and color with almost no upkeep. The right choice depends on your budget, HOA rules, and how much maintenance you want to do.
Walk your fence line within a day or two after any wind advisory in the Coachella Valley. Look for leaning posts, dislodged boards, and gaps at the base. Even minor shifts indicate that footings may have loosened, and a weakened post will fail sooner than you expect in the next storm. The American Fence Association recommends annual inspections for fences in high-wind regions.
Generally yes, once you exceed three feet in the front yard or six feet anywhere else on your property. Cathedral City enforces these limits and inspects permitted fence work. Going unpermitted can create issues when you sell - lenders and buyers want documentation that your fence was legally installed.
California law requires a barrier around all residential pools - not just a suggestion. The fence must meet minimum height requirements and use a self-closing, self-latching gate that opens away from the pool. Cathedral City inspects pool enclosures before issuing the final permit sign-off. Getting it wrong means tearing it out and starting over.
In Cathedral City's planned communities, you need HOA written approval before applying for a city building permit. If you pull the permit first and the HOA rejects your fence design later, you may have to redo the work at your own expense. Always get HOA sign-off in writing first - your contractor should know this and ask about it at the estimate stage.
Much of the Coachella Valley sits on caliche - a hard calcium-rich crust just below the surface. Standard hand tools cannot get through it. A contractor without desert experience may not have the right equipment, which leads to posts set too shallow and fences that lean within a year. Always ask a potential contractor how they handle caliche before signing.
CD Cathedral City Fence is a licensed and insured fence contractor company based in Cathedral City, CA, serving the Coachella Valley and surrounding communities since 2016.

Since 2016, we have completed projects across all 12 of our service areas - from single-family yards to commercial perimeter fencing - covering all 16 fence types we offer.

Vinyl - also sold as plastic fence installation - and aluminum both outperform wood in the desert for longevity. Wood costs less upfront but needs sealing every two to three years. Chain link is the most affordable option and works well for pet runs and pool enclosures. Ornamental iron adds curb appeal but needs a rust-resistant coating to survive in this climate.
If posts are leaning but the fence boards are still solid, repair may be enough. If the wood is cracked, brittle, or gray throughout, or if multiple posts have shifted, replacement is typically cheaper over a 5-year horizon. A contractor should give you both options and be transparent about which makes more sense for your situation.
Possibly. Caliche is common in this part of the Coachella Valley and requires specialized equipment to break through. A contractor who knows the area will factor this into their timeline and quote. If your property has hard soil, add a few extra hours to the installation estimate and confirm the crew has the right tools for the job.
The California Contractors State License Board lets you verify any contractor's license in about two minutes - a simple step that protects you from unlicensed operators. Ready to get started? Call us at (442) 446-1456 or request a free estimate online.
Cathedral City is a city of about 55,000 people sitting in the heart of the Coachella Valley, tucked between Palm Springs to the northwest and Rancho Mirage to the southeast. It is surrounded by the Santa Rosa Mountains to the south and the San Jacinto range to the west, which creates the bowl-shaped valley that traps heat in summer and funnels wind events through the area. Most Cathedral City residents live here year-round, which means homes get used hard through summers that regularly top 110 degrees.
The city's neighborhoods range from older tract homes near Date Palm Drive - built in the 1970s and 1980s during the valley's growth boom - to newer developments on the south side of town closer to the mountains. Many of the established neighborhoods, including areas near Cathedral Canyon Country Club, are governed by HOAs with specific rules about fence materials, height, and appearance. Backyard pools are extremely common here, and California law requires compliant fencing around all of them. The iconic wind turbines visible along Interstate 10 just northwest of the city are a daily reminder of how serious wind is in this valley - and why fences built for this environment need deeper posts and heavier concrete than standard installations elsewhere.
We work throughout Cathedral City, from the older neighborhoods near Date Palm Drive to the newer homes on the south side near the mountains. We know the two sides of this city have different homes and different HOA situations, and we account for both in how we plan and quote each job. If you have a question about what is allowed in your neighborhood or what material holds up best in your part of the valley, call us - that is exactly the kind of question we are happy to answer before you commit to anything.
