The specialty
Gate work is what we are known for
Anyone can stand up a fence line. A gate has to carry weight, move every day, sit level on uneven ground, and still latch years later. That is the part we specialize in.
Automation
Motorized & Automatic Gates
Sliding and swing operators with safety sensors, keypads, and remotes. The gate and the motor are installed together, so the leaf and the operator are matched from day one.

Everything Fence Tech installs
Custom Gates
Gates built to fit your opening, not ordered from a catalog. Fence Tech fabricates arched wrought iron driveway gates, matching wood gates that continue a fence line, and heavy walk gates with hardware sized to the leaf weight so they never sag.
Motorized & Automatic Gates
Sliding and swing gate automation for driveways and ranch entrances, including openers, safety sensors, keypads, and remotes. Fence Tech installs the gate and the operator together, so the leaf, hinges, and motor are matched from the start.
Wood Fencing
Cedar and redwood privacy fence, board-on-board, and modern horizontal slat designs. Posts are set for Ramona conditions, and new wood can be stained before the first summer to lock in the color.
Vinyl Fencing
White and tan vinyl privacy, semi-privacy, picket, and scalloped fence. Vinyl never needs paint and shrugs off the dry East County summers, which makes it a low-maintenance choice for long property runs.
Iron & Ornamental Fencing
Wrought iron and powder-coated aluminum fence and gates for driveways, pool enclosures, and view lots. Metal keeps sight lines open, resists sun damage, and will not burn.
Composite Fencing
Composite panels give the look of wood without the annual upkeep. A practical option for homeowners who want a finished appearance and are done repainting.
Chain Link & Ranch Fencing
Chain link, field, and ranch-style fencing for acreage, corrals, arenas, and equipment yards throughout Ramona and the surrounding backcountry. Practical fencing that covers long spans at a workable cost.
Fence Repair & Replacement
Storm-damaged sections, leaning posts, dry-rotted boards, and sagging gates repaired or replaced. Old fence haul-out is included, and full replacements are commonly finished within about a week.
Shared Property-Line Fencing
Fence Tech handles the awkward part of a shared fence: the money. Costs can be split between neighbors with separate billing, so both households are invoiced for their share of the same job.

Fence Tech × Tom Sawyer Fence Painting
A new fence is at its most vulnerable in year one
Raw wood greys under UV, drinks up sprinkler water, and starts checking before most homeowners think about sealing it. Fence Tech works with Tom Sawyer Fence Painting — a licensed San Diego County staining specialist (CSLB #1038505, in business since 2002) — so your fence can be sealed on every side while it is still new.
Ramona is a very high fire hazard severity zone
Zone Zero and your fence
California’s Zone Zero direction under AB 3074 focuses on the first five feet around a structure — the area where embers collect. A wood fence that ties into the house is a path for fire; non-combustible iron, aluminum, or chain link in that zone is not.
About
Owner-operated out of Ramona
Fence Tech is a fence and gate contractor based in Ramona, California, owned and operated by Valerio Cuevas. The company holds California contractor license C-13 #1041464, first issued in 2018, and specializes in custom-built gates and motorized gate installation alongside wood, vinyl, composite, chain link, ornamental iron, and ranch fencing. Fence Tech fabricates its own gates, automates driveway entrances, and can split billing between neighbors on shared property-line fences.
Ramona is not tract-home country. Properties here run on acreage, driveways sit well back from the road, horses and livestock need real containment, and the whole area carries a very high fire hazard rating. Being based in town means we already know the ground, the wind, and what the county expects.
Shared fence with a neighbor? We split the cost and bill each household separately for its share of the same job, so nobody has to chase anyone for money.
