A full-height cedar privacy fence can create separation from neighboring properties, streets, patios, decks, and other sightlines while still feeling natural within the landscape.

Fence height, board spacing, access points, gates, hinges, and latches can all be planned around how your family actually uses the yard.

If secure containment is important but full visual privacy is not, Chain Link & Ornamental Fencing may also be worth considering.

If an existing fence is leaning, rotting, or requiring repeated repairs, we can evaluate the fence line and help determine whether targeted repairs or replacement make more sense.

For fences shared with neighbors, good-neighbor and finished-both-sides designs can create a cleaner appearance from both properties.

A fence does not have to look like an afterthought. Board orientation, framing, trim, posts, gates, and other details can help connect the fence visually to the home.

A cedar privacy screen can create separation around a patio, deck, hot tub, seating area, mechanical equipment, or another targeted area without fencing the entire property.

Slopes, landscaping, retaining walls, grade changes, existing structures, and tight access can all influence fence design. We plan around the property rather than forcing every yard into the same solution.

Yes. Western Red Cedar is commonly used for exterior construction in the Pacific Northwest because of its natural appearance, design flexibility, and resistance to decay and insects. Material choice is only part of the equation. Fence design, structural support, moisture exposure, site conditions, and installation quality also affect long-term performance.

There is no responsible lifespan that applies to every cedar fence. Material quality, construction, post system, drainage, soil, vegetation, sun exposure, weather, maintenance, and other conditions all influence longevity. We focus on making thoughtful construction decisions where we have control and helping homeowners understand the care their fence may need over time.

Not necessarily. Some homeowners prefer to let cedar weather naturally. Others want to maintain more of the wood’s original warm color and choose an appropriate exterior finish. The right approach depends largely on the appearance and maintenance commitment you prefer.

Cedar naturally changes color as it is exposed to weather and sunlight. Many homeowners like that weathered appearance. Even if you leave the wood unfinished, it is still helpful to manage vegetation, soil buildup, irrigation, and other sources of unnecessary moisture around the fence.

Full-height privacy designs, overlapping boards, and certain picture-frame configurations can all provide strong visual coverage. The right option depends on the appearance you want and the level of separation you need.

Not automatically. Metal and wood post systems involve different appearance, structural, installation, and cost considerations. We can review the property and explain which approaches make sense for the fence you are planning.

Yes. Grade changes are common throughout the Portland Metro area. Fence layout and transitions should be planned around the actual slope so the finished project looks intentional.

Yes. We build cedar gates as part of fence projects and plan them around the surrounding design, access needs, framing, hardware, clearance, and alignment.

Often, yes. When damage is limited and enough of the existing structure remains serviceable, repair may make sense. When problems exist throughout the fence line, replacement may provide a better long-term result. We will be straightforward about which situation we see.

Yes. Good-neighbor and other finished-both-sides cedar designs can work well along shared property lines.

Pricing depends on the length and height of the fence, cedar selection, design, posts, gates, existing fence removal, terrain, access, and custom details. Steadfast provides free on-site estimates so the scope and price reflect the actual property.

Steadfast is based in Beaverton, Oregon, and serves homeowners throughout the Portland Metro area.
